Perfect, was the only word there was to describe the fact that they NEEDED her and that would make things a whole lot easier for what she wanted to do..even if that meantĀ āclaimingā she would attempt to take the Siphoner down..-she wasnāt going to do that.Ā āI bet it makes you MISS..when all you had to deal with, was me.ā she lulled with nothing but a devilish smirk left in the after math.Ā āAnd yet somehow my bet isā¦youāve not told any of them whoās helping you...-I wonder what theyād say.ā she hummed, an idyllicĀ tone to the sound that left her lips.Ā
āOh you have a choiceā¦-iām just your ONLY option for the one youāre choosing.ā She told him simply, though unlike most deals she made she had no intention of taking his soul;he didnāt deserve to go through what she had..but maybe that was simply the small flicker of emotions playing in the back of Katherineās mind.Ā
She found herself almost freezing up at the mention of Elijah, though she played it off covering any sign of emotional leverage he could have over her with a small grin.Ā āIām not hiding Stefan..-I just have MY reasons for staying away; not like HE could kill me anymore..ā she was almost sure of that much, though somehow that didnāt leave her with any less fear. Elijah on the other hand was a different matter..in avoiding him she wasnāt being selfish as much as not wanting to be reminded of what she couldnāt beā¦Katerina Petrova.
āElijah doesnāt care about me..-iām just playing generous.ā saving HIM from Klausā judgement.Ā āKlaus is unaware of anything that happened between the two of us: I intend to keep it that way.ā
It almost sounds like some kind of joke, to play on Stefan in attempts to keep him from spreading the word. "Why would I tell anyone whose helping me?" There'd be nothing but constant back lash, a whirlwind of complaints and he's sure a number of punches from Damon. "What do I have to gain from that?" Not a single god damn thing and they both know that. Would he face backlash in the end, ether way? Definitely. When they found out that Stefan kept this a secret from them, it won't be pretty but if it means Elena returns safe and sound? He doesn't really care, to be honest. It's something he's willing to take onto himself.
She pauses if only but a second, it's enough for Stefan to catch; curious as to WHY she hesitated even for a split second. "Hiding...yeah you are, if you weren't then part of our deal wouldn't involve me keeping quiet about your return." But alright, if she wants to pretend like the last five hundred years didn't matter, he'd play along. "Whatever you say, Katherine." Stefan doesn't see a point in arguing at this point. "I don't know where you'll find Kai but I'm sure he won't be hard to find -- anywhere witches are, he'll be trying to take their magic."
