   In Alaric Saltzman's apartment, Katherine Pierce sat still in a chair, with a distinct look of fear in her eyes. She'd spent the last five hundred years running from Klaus, and now, he found her. Yet, she was still alive, when all she wanted was to be dead. She knew that was the inevitable outcome, and the fact he was drawing it out made that much worse for her. 

   Klaus opened the wardrobe, looking at the clothes the owner of his current body had, and pulled as face of distaste. "Oh. Who is this guy, Safari Sam?" He grabbed two shirts from the hangers, holding one up in either hand to show Katherine. "Okay, bad, or badder?"

   Katherine let out a shaky breath, nodding to the one in his right hand. She tried to hide the fear that had weld up in her throat. "The dark colours suit you better."

   "Oh, thank you, honey." He smirked, before starting to change into the shirt in question. "Okay, pop quiz. The dagger and white ash are in the Salvatore's possession, correct?"

   "The dagger was used to kill Elijah." She confirmed. "You'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house."

   "Okay, that dagger needs to stay exactly where it is." He muttered, rolling his eyes slightly. "The last thing I need to do is resurrect Elijah. Oh, that guy is a buzzkill."

   "Don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend Jenna." Katherine continued. 

   "Right." Klaus nodded, a knowing look on his face. "Elena and Audrey's aunt. For all the lies about Isobel." He then looked at her. "What else?"

   Katherine considered her next words carefully, knowing there was something else that she could tell him. Something that would quickly take his attention off of her for a while, but she bit her tongue. "That's it."

   Unconvinced, he moved closer and touched her face slowly, smirking as she flinched. "Oh, so jumpy."

   "Please, just...kill me." The Pierce woman pleaded, shifting back in her seat uncomfortably. "I've told you everything that I know."

   Klaus puts his hands on the armrests on Katherine's chair and looks her in the face. "You see, I believe that you believe that, but what would you not know? What could they be keeping from you? Hmm? Anything? Tell me." He looks directly into his eyes, compelling her.

   She looks back at him, unable not to answer as the compulsion took immediate effect. "They were trying to see if Bonnie could find a way to kill an Original without a dagger."

   "Bonnie the best friend?" He questioned. "I thought you said she didn't have her powers anymore."

   "She doesn't or didn't. I don't know. You kidnapped me, remember?" She pointed out. "I'm kinda out of the loop."

   "Well, we'll just have to get to the bottom of that." He muttered.

   "There's something else." Katherine said after a moment, which got his immediate attention. "Something I don't think any of them even know yet. It's about Audrey."
