Mackenzie missed Katherine

Mackenzie missed Katherine. She never thought that being so close to Elijah would be a bad thing. Unfortunately, she was closer to Klaus and Rebekah, and no matter how hard she tried to find a way to remove the dagger that kept Elijah in his coffin, she couldn't find any that didn't end with her dead. And Klaus was no idiot, he made sure that Mackenzie didn't get close to his brother, had even instructed Rebekah to be careful not to let her out of her sight.

Klaus had a taste for the luxurious. Even more so than Katherine. The place they were staying out was the most beautiful Mackenzie had ever seen. And unnecessarily big. Three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a view of the city... Even the couch Mackenzie had slept on was more comfortable than any bed she had slept in in the last two months. Klaus had gone out of his way to make sure Mackenzie had everything she needed. She was surprised at first when he handed her a bag of clothes and hygiene necessities but then figured he had needed to get some for his sister anyway.

Rebekah wasn't particularly nice, but she wasn't exactly mean either, or at least, she hadn't been yet. Mackenzie was worried that the blonde would have any expectations from her "friend", but she hadn't asked her to do anything odd, yet. Klaus had tasked the elemental with informing her sister on what she had missed in the last 90 years. That meant anything from a basic history lesson to setting up Rebekah's new smartphone.

Klaus seemed to be under the impression that spoiling his sister would make her forgive him for daggering her and storing her in a box for almost a century. Mackenzie couldn't tell if Rebekah was just superficial or if she was just used to it, but any trace of anger towards her brother disappeared when he gave her a diamond bracelet Mackenzie imagined had cost as much if not more than the apartment they were staying at.

The next morning, Rebekah had insisted they went shopping for new clothes as she was persuaded her brother had picked up the ugliest clothes he had found to mess with her. She didn't believe anyone would wear such things.

She was disappointed when she saw what the shops were selling. In comparison, what Klaus had given her seemed like the best option.

"There has to be more to this dress," she complained from the fitting room.

"There's not," Klaus sighed, bored and annoyed. He was lounging with Stefan on a couch in the middle of the shop, with a bottle of champagne in one hand and a glass in the other.

He had lost count of how many shops they had been to before she had agreed to stop at this one and try on some dresses. She hated everything she saw and had eventually asked Mackenzie to pick up anything she liked.

"So women in the 21st century dress like prostitutes, then?" she said as she stepped back in the room, wearing a short black dress. "You know I got dirty looks for wearing trousers."

"You wore trousers so women today could wear nothing," Klaus said to his sister before he finished his glass.

"And what is this music, it sounds like a cable car accident."
