it really dawns on me that jplec put show kat on black and leather and dark colors to symbolize her being an evil temptress because she would be dumb like that, but book kat? she prefers white and pastels and she absolutely owns the ‘bloodstained white sundress’ look.

❛  you  look  pretty  miserable  .  ❜    (  @morvids​  )

                  “    is    that    so?    are    you  trying    to    justify    having    been    absolutely   useless    back    then,    dr    ?    ”

                she   is    already    sitting    on    his    chair    as    if    it   were    a    throne    when    he    arrives    to    his    home,       her    long    skirts    ruffle    the    edges    of    the   armrest    (    Katherine    is    all    light    pink    and   white,    a    heavy    contrast    with    the    smudges    of   blood    now    coating    the    hem    of    her    gown    ).  she    studies    the    man    before    her    with    a   raised    brow,    as    if    his    words    were    nothing   sort    of    amusing    to    her.    You    look    miserable   –    he    speaks    from    envy    itself    (    Klaus   has    managed    what    he    could    never    achieve    ),   and    Katherine,    looking     pale,    emanciated,    corpse  -   like,    she    enjoys    the    way    his    maid    refuses   to    look    at    her    in    the    eye,    clings    to    the  rosary    dangling    beneath    her    uniform    when    she   thinks    nobody    is    looking.

                  Katherine   is    no    longer    the    lamb,    wounded    by    God,   given    fragile    bones    and    feeble    flesh    –    now   she    is    something    else.    Something    better.

                   “   or    perhaps    you    are    just   envious    of    the    way    I    have    now    achieved    what   you    have    tried    for    so    long?    ”    fool    death   itself,    escape    the    inevitable    (    she    is    god,  and    he    will    always    be    just    a    madman    ),  “    either    ways,    I    have    not    come    here    to   chitchat    about    my    new    condition,    dr.    ”    eyes   fixate    on    his’,    gaze    darkens,    her    timbre   shifts    to    something    macabre,    “    I    need    to   request    a    new    favor    from    you.    ”

[vswartzschild]

❛  i  just  don’t  have  the  heart  to  care  for  stupid  questions  .  ❜                                     (  @rebkahs​  )

                        Blood    beneath    her    claws,   they    grip    onto    tendrils    of    long    auburn    hair,   dangling    from    her    hand    –    the    head    is    a   trophy,    she    carries    it    not    with    disgust    or   annoyance,    but    pride    (    there    is    something   otherworldly    terrifying    about    the    way    Katherine   walks    towards    Rebekah,    white    sundress    and    heels   drenched    in    blood,    and    still    looks    absolutely   angelic    and    regal    ).    the   decapitated    corpse    that    sprawls    motionless    on    the   rug    between    them    is    poked    with    the    tip    of   her    heel,    what    once    was    a    fairly    young   vampire    is    now    quickly    desecrating    as    they    both  glance    down    with    utmost    impassiveness.

                 “   neither    do    I.    ”   Katherine    murmurs,    feral    madness    has    dissipated   from    her    clear    eyes,    and    now,    the    honeyed    hum   of    her    timbre    is    back    (    she’s    ripped   the    head    off    that    girl    with    a   quick,    sickening    snap,    and    no    traces    of    ecstatic   pleasure    can    be    seen    other    than    the    way   her    eyes    would    darken    as    she    looked    down    at   her    prize    ).    now,    she    simply    motions    for   Rebekah    to    follow,    to    guide    the    way    to    where  Klaus    awaits,    “    you’re    welcome.    ”

" You know I love you but you know I don't like him, the curly one...he eats rabbits, why does he eat rabbits...what did even they do to him? Go for the one that eats humans. He's not cruel like Stefano. Eating rabbits - cruel. "   (  johann von swartzschild  @suavetore​  )

                      A    smile    blooms    on    carmine  lips    (    the    closest    thing,    perhaps,    to    a   humane    reaction    –    her    fingertips    are    frozen   when    they    perch    on    his    cheekbones,    yet    the   curvature    of    her    mouth    is    warm    ),    and   Katherine    chuckles,    the    sound    of    bells    chiming,   not    ominous    or    foreboding    this    time,    but    a   crystaline    reminder    of    what    once    was    a    lovely,   melodic    voice.    

                    “    now,    now    –    you   know    better    to    question    what    the    heart    wants,   johann.    ”    what    she    wants    –   spoiled    to    her    very    core,    vampirism    has    made   her    deadly    in    her    craving    tantrums.    Still,    there   is    remaining    gentleness    in    the    way    she    will   squeeze    her    brother’s    cheeks,    place    a    fingertip  beneath    his    chin    with    utmost    care    –    the   last    crumbs    of    humanity    she    has    left,    the   only    thing    tethering    to    her    youth.    Katherine   sometimes    wonders    if    she    loves    her    brother   dearly    or    hates    him    all    too    much.

                    “    poor    stefano    has   chosen    his    lifestyle    –    as    foolish    as    it    is,   and    cruel    as    it    is,    we    must    respect    it.   ”    words    are    followed    by    a    shift    in    her   smile    (    it    grows    feral,    it    grows    devious   ),    and    she    hums,    claws    tenderly    run    through  his    blond    hair,    “    perhaps    you    can    show   him    the    right    path    …    see    that    human    girl   over    there?    she    is    a    former    classmate    of  darling    stefano.    ”

❛ Fear and guilt are sisters. ❜    (  @kollr  )

                    “    oh,    ever    the    poet.   it    does    not    seem    to    run    in    the    entire   family,    considering    my    past    experiences    with    your   brother.    not    men    of    many    words,    you    lot.    ”

                  words    leave   in    a    taunting    hum,    honeyed    and    enveloping   (    she    studies    Kol    through    long    lashes,   studies    his    every    movement    like    one    would    a   dangerously    charming    creature    ).    he   speaks    of    guilt,    he    speaks    of    fear    –    as   if    he    has        experienced    them  himself.    she    wonders    –    has   he?    Has    the    creature    sitting    atop    the   throne    alongside    the    Devil    himself    ever    experienced   such    sorrowful    emotions?    It    piques    her    interest  –    Katherine    is    a    vampire    of    infinite   resourcefulness.    What    she    can    grab,    she    will   take.    What    she    can    use,    she    will    hoard.

                 “    tell    me,    what    guilt   plagues    your    sleep?    ”    Katherine    moves    closer   to    the    Original,    shadowy    figure    clad    in    all   white    (    a    clashing    between    light    and    dark,   angel    and    demon    ),    and    her    voice    is   saccharine    gentle    –    a    siren’s    song,    it    draws   men    into    the    tempestuous    water,    “    is    it   overwhelming?    all    -    consuming?   ”    is    it    the    same    guilt    i    feel    knowing   i’ve    let    my    family    to    rot    on    the    ground?   Is    it    the    same    fear    of    eternal    damnation?   Is    it?    

                      She    encircles    the    creature,   frozen    icicles    perch    upon    his    chest,    delicate   motions    to    lean    enough    to    whisper    all   too    close    to    his    lips,    “    do    you   wish    for    me    to    make    it    better?    ”

[vswartzschild]

❛ You’re scared. I can tell. ❜    (  @vikteres​  )

               “    don’t    be    so    foolish  …  i   would    not   indulge    your    gratification     so.   ”    

                         He    can    always    tell    (   she    surmises    a    sire    can        sense    it    );    she   doesn’t    like    it    at    all.    Klaus,    with    his   darkened    eyes    and    sulfur    voice,    he    remains    the   eerie    picture    of    calm,    even    as    he    overpowers   her    entirely,    holds    her    throat    –    he    is    all  tranquil    fury,    she    has    never    before    seen    him   lose    his    control    over    anything    (    perhaps    that   is    what    is    most    terrifying        about    the   Original    ).    

                       he’s    forcing    their    eyes   to    meet    (    Katherine    knows   to    hold    her    gaze    steady    before    every    single   creature    she’s    met    –   Klaus    remains    the    exception    to    this    day    ),   gaze    of    cerulean    is    now    alight    with    fear    –   do    you    want    to    die,    foolish    girl?    I   have    spared    you    far    too    many    times    already.  The    wolf    that    has    met    its    match,    the   monster    and    her    creator,    they    glare,   eye    to    eye,    and    the    silence    feels    unbearable  (    she    loathes    to    be    almost    expecting    the   sickening    crack    of    a    snapped    neck    –    her    own   ),    much    so    that   Katherine    dares    to    murmur    in    almost    pleading   whisper,    dares    to    do    what    she    has    never   before    done.

                              Beg,   little    girl    –    gods    have    no    mercy.

                           “    do    you    think    me   stupid    enough    to    try    and    go    behind    your    back?   ”    Katherine    might    loathe    him,    to    a    degree   that    very    few    can    comprehend   (    why?    oh,    why    would    you    hate   who    has    given    you    the    gift    of    eternal    youth?  )    but    she    would    not    dare    test    his   wrath    –    not    now,    “    you’ve    grown    too   paranoid,    klaus.    it    makes    you    look    like    a   silly    creature.        i    –    ”    a    squeeze    of   her    windpipe    leaves    her    words    hanging    in    the   air,    cut    mid    –    sentence    as    she    inhales   sharply    ,    “    i    don’t    have    any    intention    of   crossing    you    …    you    should    know    that    by   now.    ”    not    now,    when    he    looms   over    her    like    a    scavenger    would    a    dying   animal,    eyes    an    abyss    and    teeth    protruding,    “  you    know    …    if    you    wanted   an    excuse    to    have    your    hand    over    my    throat   ...    you    could’ve    simply    wine    and    dined   me    beforehand   …    ”

❛ I wish you would have told me. ❜

❛ You didn’t tell your sisters what you saw. ❜

❛ Some things can’t be told. You live them or you don’t. ❜

❛ I’m sorry. ❜

❛ Mom says that a house is like a body. ❜

❛ All this time we tried to get into this room, now we can’t get the fuck out! ❜

❛ She saved me. ❜

❛ I don’t feel anything. ❜

❛ I’m scared. That’s all I am. ❜

❛ There’s nothing left. I’m only scared. ❜

❛ It’s just a house. ❜

❛ It’s very different in the night. It’s different in the dark. ❜

❛ What if I dream that you kill us? ❜

❛ Do you think there’s a thing worse than that? ❜

❛ I don’t think there’s anything worse than that. ❜

❛ Did you just punch me in the boob? ❜

❛ Someone ask you what you think? ❜

❛ I’m so proud of you. You’re doing so well. ❜

❛ Keep it up. ❜

❛ I’m glad you’re here. ❜

❛ I should have made more of an effort with you. ❜

❛ You tried as best you could. ❜

❛ I should have met you halfway. ❜

❛ People fuck up. ❜

❛ I guess you don’t get that, you don’t really get it until you fuck up. ❜

❛ You like to fix things. ❜

❛ You’re good at fixing things. I keep hearing this about you, is that right? ❜

❛ I’m not so sure anymore. ❜

❛ Who do you think did this? ❜

❛ It’s not as bad as it is in your head. ❜

❛ Most of what people say at a funeral is a wish. ❜

❛ Now you stand there and you talk about ghosts and spirits. ❜

❛ Is she okay? ❜

❛ How do you know that? ❜

❛ It’s a twin thing. ❜

❛ This house is bad. ❜

❛ These will help with the cold. ❜

❛ What are you, um, looking at? ❜

❛ She fucking knew better. And she did it anyway. ❜

❛ We’re tougher than other kids. ❜

❛ We make ourselves really safe. And no one ever gets in. ❜

❛ Just because you care about them doesn’t mean they won’t burn you. ❜

❛ You’re scared. I can tell. ❜

❛ Be sure to let your imagination get the best of you. That’s the first step. ❜

❛ Imagine the worst thing possible. Assume it’s true. Then go from there. ❜

❛ I’m drawing boundaries, which is something you should look in to. ❜

❛ How long do we have to live here? ❜

❛ When we die, we turn into stories; and every time someone tells one of those stories, it’s like we’re still here for them. ❜

❛ We’re all stories in the end. ❜

❛ I love you completely, and you loved me the same. The rest is confetti. ❜

❛ Someone should’ve told her she didn’t have to try this hard. ❜

❛ Pandas don’t eat macaroni. ❜

❛ And I’m just- I’m just floating in this ocean of nothing, and I wonder if this is it, if this is what death is. ❜

❛ Journeys end in lovers meeting. ❜

❛ I’ve seen a lot of ghosts. Just not the way you think. ❜

❛ To learn what we fear is to learn who we are. ❜

❛ Horror defies our boundaries and illuminates our souls. ❜

❛ A ghost can be a lot of things. A memory, a daydream, a secret. ❜

❛ When you’re little, you learn how to see things that aren’t there. And when you grow up, you learn how to make them real. ❜

❛ Fear and guilt are sisters. ❜

❛ No live organism can continue to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality. ❜

❛ Most times, a ghost is a wish. ❜

❛ All I could think of when I got a look at the place from the outside was what fun it would be to stand out there and watch it burn down. ❜

❛ Fear is the relinquishment of logic, the willing relinquishing of reasonable patterns. ❜

❛ I feel a little clearer just now. ❜

❛ I feel like I’ve been here before. ❜

❛ You have to live. ❜

❛ I don’t know how to do this without you. ❜

❛ There’s no without. I am not gone. ❜

❛ I’m scattered into so many pieces, sprinkled on your life like new snow. ❜

❛ There’s so much I want to say to you all. ❜

❛ I’m so sorry our last words were in anger. ❜

❛ I’m sorry if I didn’t listen, and I’m sorry… ❜

❛ It wouldn’t have changed anything. ❜

❛ I loved you completely. And you loved me the same. ❜

❛ What were you feeling before? ❜

❛ I was feeling fear. And… And guilt. ❜
