The Fox Doppelganger TVD

Chapter 27: Conniving



It's an old tale. Mothers love their children. Fathers, make them stronger. However, the world have made many adjustments to the family dynamics, so much so that parents are awkwardly trying to find their place in their own homes.

The world is constantly changing and with change, immortal beings who remain adamant on their old ways become obsolete they find themselves without purpose or a place where they fit.

Perhaps this is why immortal creatures are denied a chance at parenthood. The ocean will remain cold and ruthless no matter how beautiful the bathing suits you put on when you go swimming.

"What is it?" May points at the journal that Katherine has been written in for a long time now.

"I was feeling nostalgic. A few profound sentences came to mind when I thought about Mikael the destroyer and the cycle of violence that he started in that family."

"Sounds like a lot of old drama." Davina said looking nervous. She is worried about Marcel.

"You shouldn't worry too much about Marcellus darling. Klaus would never kill him." Katherine said continuing to write on her journal.

"Thank you for allowing me to come and stay here, and for allowing my friend Josh to accompany me." Davina forced a smile on her young face.

"I have seen Josh before, I was happy Marcel left him here to accompany you. It would be a shame to have the first boy I saw on Mikel's bed be killed by that mutt." Katherine cups Josh face in her hand like a mother in law.

Josh got very shy. "You saw that....and excuse me as I find a whole to bury myself in and hide from the embarrassment." Josh said making Katherine laugh.

"He is a delight isn't he?" She asked Davina who smiled. Seeing the increase in Josh's discomfort Davina asked Katherine a question.

"You said something about the cycle of violence?" She saw Josh sending her a grateful smile.

"Mikel is the reason Klaus is Klaus. He was his father, the man raised him and taught him many things but he also created him." Katherine said.

"What do you mean created him? How does a person create another person?" Josh asked overwhelmed by curiosity at the wording of he statement.

"Well, let's say Davina who is a normal witch, goes to school, likes jazz and occasionally draws and paint. She is quiet but a passionate lovely young girl who wishes for her mother's approval."

"Then she is subject to a sacrifice by he own mother from whom she descended. This would have been a tragic story of a young bright sweet girl had it concluded at that."

Davina became uncomfortable as Katherine continued to say her past. Katherine, not one for soft punches dives in the monologue.

"The savior rescued her from the sacrifice and another Davina was born from that tragic event. Who she will turn out to be is still unknown because she is still inside the egg and soon she will either fail of raise up like ..."

"A chick." Josh said making Davina and Katherine laugh.

"A Phoenix. I was going to say, like a hatchling Phoenix." Katherine finishes.

"My point is, that event created you the Davin that Josh and I know. But it is not over until that magic is out of your body."

"So, the Klaus that we know is the result of how Mikael treated him?" Davina said.

"Mostly. Not completely but yeah. That is what I believe. He used to beat him but after finding out he was not his own and instead was a child of the same beasts he hated, he became even more vicious towards him turning a lovely boy into what we all know and loathe." She took a sip from her cup of tea.

"I am really worried about Marcel. I should go there now that you are safe Davina." Josh said standing up.

"No, Josh!" Davina tried to stop him but he sped out of there in a flash.

"Impressive. Klaus could never cultivate loyalty like that even after a millennium. I stand corrected, the cycle may not be made of just violence. A son may surpass the father. Only time will tell."

"But the cycle is not over yet. Mikael made Klaus, Klaus made Marcel, Marcel made you."

"I'm also there?" Davina widen her eyes.

"The next time you go to battle you will see. All that time living in an attic with only one voice in your ear for months. Remember what I called you the first time we met?" She looked at Davina who said one word.

"Warrior." Davina said looking down.

"Don't be disheartened. It was either that or let the fire around you turn you into ashes." She patted the young girl on the shoulder.

"How long are you going to ignore your guests?" Davina asked Katherine who ignored her question.

"Do the spell and be quiet." She pointed at the page with their latest spell. Caroline walked towards her just as the two ladies were getting back the silent atmosphere.

"Katherine. Can I have a word?" Hearing her, Katherine pointed where Josh had been seated a while ago.

"That woman is called Roselle she was a French quarter witch and knows the information you wanted from Qetsiya. I don't know how you got that one to do you a favor but here she is." Caroline points to the red haired woman with pale complexion and refined features.

Katherine looked at Davina who has a surprised expression. "Go talk to the witch and find out all that you need to know about that matter." Davina nodded but didn't move. It seems she still worried about finding out the truth of the matter.

"You just brought her here from the goodness of your heart?"

"I was already on my way... because I need your help." Caroline said with an uneasy expression.

"My mom is dying. I am asking you to fix her. Please." She looked at Katherine with an expression of resigning to whatever she is asked. She knows Katherine, Bobby and even Nate all liked her at some point but they got tired of her relationship with Elena. 

"I'm suppose to help you from the bottom of my heart?" Katherine sounded bored. 

"Katherine...." Caroline is about to say a long speech that she had prepared before.

"If I do this, you will work for me for however long your mother live after. When I call for you, you will come and become an obedient little soldier. Are we clear?" Katherine's entire aura became cold. 

Caroline smiled and nodded. "Okay. But you will do all the work. Just call me if it's get too much." Katherine said and stood up leaving to get the medicine.

This surprised Caroline, she had an open mouth making Davina smile.

"She has her moments." Davina said going back to learning the spell.

She took out silver needles that she hadn't used in a very long time. After getting everything ready she called Caroline.

"Get her on the bed."

"Hi, Katherine I want to thank you for helping me." Liz said with a tired smile. Katherine smile at her.

"You are welcome. But this will not be easy." Katherine warned.

"I'm ready."

She got on the bed and Katherine used her spirit force to check the location of the problem and when she found it. Needless got inserted in the acupuncture points and she used her spirit force to move the blood poisoning towards the nearest opening which is the ear.

It took nearly an hour for the black smelly substance to come out of the one ear and into a prepared plastic cup. Caroline being a Vampire with extra sensitive senses wanted to wrench but one look from Katherine was enough to get her to pull herself together.

Katherine started sweating at some point as she uses too much of her spirit force. She continues to work and when it is done she ran to the nearest toilet to puke. She is pregnant an that was very smelly.

"Take her to rest and then some." She went to sleep off the tiredness. Caroline has a very grateful look on her face.

Davina got all the information from the witch Roselle and it turns out the power is going to consume her from the inside just as Katherine had told her. The witch Roselle said this is a possibility because the ritual was successful the last time it was performed and her sister had indeed come back to life more powerful than before but not to the extent of the current Davina.

"Katherine! Open the barrier this is important." Rebekah came shouting a while later just as Katherine is enjoying the nap.

"One of you let her in." She instructed the kids. Paige went and let the two women inside.

Hayley was dropped like sack of potatoes on a nearby chair. Rebekah is about to leave when Vicki stands in her way.

"Rebekah."

"Vicki."

"What's happening? Mikel said I should help you."

"How does he know something is wrong?" Rebekah asked with incredulity.

"Klaus wouldn't let her out of his sight otherwise." Vicki points at Hayley.

What she didn't say is that Mikel can see through her eyes so the moment she got spooked by the noise of her shouting he got alerted.

"Fine. Come with me then." Rebekah said in disbelief that Nick actually made a friend. It seems this Mikel can be relied upon.

Vicki came with her but along the way more hybrids joined them. "I never knew how Mikel got his hands on my brother's hybrids."

"Rebekah you are welcome to ask him. Maybe you can ask him to dinner sometime and then slowly unwrap all his little secrets." Vicki laughed at Rebekah's increasing discomfort. She didn't miss the blush that crept up Rebekah's neck.

.....

Katherine slowly opened her tired eyes. She saw someone sitting in front of her bed covering herself with a light cover. She recognized her as Nadia. "Nadia." Katherine said with a hoarse voice. Nadia gave her water.

"Thank you. Some welcome huh?" Katherine said but Nadia is not amused.

"Are you some sort of savior now? Exhaust your pregnant body for a stranger?" Nadia asked with anger.

"Umm, if I was dying, you'd try to save me wouldn't you?" She looked at Nadia who became stunned.

"Does that mean you should exhaust yourself to this point just because some daughter said pretty please?"

"Not some daughter. She is my daughter by blood." Katherine said but Nadia heard her.

"Excuse me?"

"I turned her. Without her approval. I am trying to be a good person. I know that means some people will abuse my kindness but I can assure you I am no fool."

"I hope so. I did not look for so long for a fool."

"Tell me about your life, and how in the hell did you get mixed up with the travelers? Nadia my baby. I need to know if you are attached to them." She suddenly look serious.

"I was with them to find you. I need they were looking for the doppelgangers for something big. So I tagged along, I assure you I am not one of them." She said making Katherine heave a sigh of relief.

Katherine took out a heavy looking book. She tree it at Nadia. "When I was still chasing Elijah, I would sometimes entertain myself by writing down the traveler spells with super speed. I managed to fill that book and a few more. Study it."

Nadia opened it and saw the ancient spells on the book. She looked at her mother in surprise. "These..."'

"Are very old, very powerful spells that would require an entire coven to pull off. I know. Start by learning them and the other stuff leave it to me." Katherine smiled.

Nadia gave her a deep look but went back to reading. Katherine laid back down.

Hayley took a walk around the place. There is vast open space and she can see some wolves running around in the distance. On one of the stone tables under a tree a young boy is painting. This place has good energy, she feels good being here.

She saw a familiar face on the phone not very far from her. "You are Caroline." Hayley said "Hi, I'm Hayley."

"Hi. You are the girl pregnant with Klaus's child right?"

"That's me." Hayley said

"How do you know my name?"

"I have seen your face on Klaus's paintings." Hayley said

"Oh."

"Hey, I wanted to ask you something. Do you also live here?"

"No, I came to ask Katharine to cure my mom. She's dying....was dying if the wolves are to be trusted."

"She is also a doctor? That's umm. The last time we were at a clinic she committed a massacre." Hayley said making Caroline surprised.

"They probably deserved it?.." Caroline said making Hayley give her a sharp nod.

"They did."

.....

"Are we just going to look each other like this till sun down?" Kol asked.

"Father, can you cease your pursuit of a child you raised already. It's been over a millennium. Are you not tired?" Finn asked his father with a frown.

"Elijah got married, his wife is pregnant with triplet. Isn't this a miracle? Our family finally having children after so long. Can you just be a normal father and look forward to having grand children?" Rebekah said with thick emotions.

Mikael looked stunned at the news. He is going to be a grand father? How did this happen? He looked at Rebekah with a sharp gaze. "Enough! With the lies, vampires can't procreate."

"It's true, I have a wife and she is pregnant, according to her, the children are more gifted in magic than Niklaus's. But I wouldn't want a violent creature such as you anywhere near my children." Elijah said calmly with a smile that isn't a smile.

"Then why isn't she here?" Mikael knows Elijah is not one to lie.

"She doesn't like Nicklaus." Mikel said making Klaus glare at him.

Mikael disappeared from his spot. Elijah looked at Rebekah. "That was a mistake. Are you forgetting that Katherine is also a beast? How do you think he will respond to that bit of information?"

"He wouldn't..." Rebekah said with apprehension.

"Really? What atrocities hasn't our father committed in his relentless desire for violence?" Elijah rubbed between his eyebrows suddenly feeling tired.

"But..." Rebekah is lost for words. What parents wouldn't appreciate grand children?

"Don't worry Bex, Katherine will be able to handle three of Mikael." Kol consoles his sister.

"Besides, he can't even enter our yard without an invitation. If she comes out she has many ways to defend herself." Mikel assured her but pulled out his phone to call May nonetheless.

"Why are you here?" Klaus asked Mikel.

Mikel made a hurt expression. "I came to fight, I have heard stories about Mikael the destroyer."

Mikel make an exaggerated fighting pose. "Our battle will be legendary!" 

"Pffft." Rebekah laughed at him. The others all smiled seeing his silly actions. 

"You have been watching too many movies. Mikael is a different kind of monster, you are still too green to go against him." Klaus warned.

"You are here, so what's there to worry about? Hey I made something for you. Go ahead and tell me how much you love me." Mikel took out a black bead pendant. It has many runes on the beads. 

"I am not your woman. Why are you giving me jewelry?" Klaus frowned.

"That is my first successful artifact. It is not as powerful as the ones made by clan leader but my soul power is still growing." Mikel tried to put it on him but Klaus kept running away from him. 

"What's an artifact?" Finn asked looking at the black object in Mikel's hands. 

"Like Elijah's wedding gift." Kol laughed at Klaus. It was better when no one said it but now that someone has said it, the siblings looked at Mikel with strange eyes. 

"It is not a wedding present. But just as magical. When I made it, I thought of you Niklaus, aren't I considerate to you? Shouldn't you be thanking me for working hard?" Mikel stopped running after Nick and pointed at him accusingly. 

"Nicklaus, take the gift. I heard it is very hard to made one of these." Elijah said smiling. 

"Yeah, It took me four days to finish it. But that is because I am still weak. Clan leader can make a batch in a day." Mikel explained self deprecatingly.

"She would teach such knowledge to others?" Klaus marveled.

"Otherwise?" Mikel looked at Finn incredulous.

"Not many leaders will do such a thing." Finn said. 

"With an enemy like Mikel the destroyer in town, you should be weeping in gratitude for a powerful card like this." Mikel sneered and put the item back in his pocket. 

"Can I have it?" Rebekah blushed. She still asked.

Mikel went to her and cut her and dropped some blood on the item. he then put it on her and it glowed. The color seemed brighter and the runes shined a golden light looking very mysterious. 

Everyone went to look at the magical scene.

"What does it do?"

"How did you make it?" 

"What are those symbols?" 

Mikel ignored all their questions and looked at Rebekah, she is very beautiful. Looking at how the shining black mumbles of the beads make are a contrast to her pale white skin. 

"Hey! wake up." Kol hit him in the head. 

Mikel wanted to punch him in the face but kol is fast to evade. Mikel looked at Rebekah with a foolish expression. "You look beautiful. It seems to like you." Mikel tried to touch it but it became transparent and he could only touch her skin. 

Rebekah laughed seeing this, she had seen a similar scene when Katherine was giving Bonnie a similar item, she just wanted the one Mikel made to belong to her. 

"Each of these runes will react after something specific happened. Don't be too surprised at that time." Rebekah smiled 

"Thank you." She looked at a frowning Klaus, showed him a mocking expression.

"Didn't you say it was for me?" Klaus hearing the beads have magic realized he wants one. 

"It has recognized her as the owner, there's nothing to do now." Mikel shrugged.

"Such a fickle attitude.." Klaus complained but no one cared for his complains.

....

"You're awake." He said in a low voice. It is not a question, but a statement. He is letting her know that she can stop pretending to be asleep.

She moves her body climbing his own like a slithering snake rubbing herself as if trying to get his scent all over herself. She opened her mouth and used her long tongue on his neck. Licking and sucking from below his chin all the way to just behind his ear.

He groans at this action but doesn't move his eyes from his precious book. He has been reading a book after taking a bath and getting inside the bed.

His wife, naked as the day she was born slept on her side of the bed and somehow ended up on top of him. He kept his eyes on the book and never said anything until he smells her arousal. Honestly, he is just sitting here reading a book but she is somehow turned on by this.

Seeing him not saying anything even as his cock is hard under her. She sneered at him. 'Let's see for how long will you ignore this princess.' She took in as much of his throbbing member deep into her throat all the way down.

Elijah gasped at the sudden heat and tightness around his cock. Now she has him all the way down her throat, she can forget about moving up and down his long member. All she can do is make swallowing movements with her throat

The movement may seem negligible but when coupled with the intensity of the way her small throat is holding him tightly and the temperature around his cock, it is incredibly stimulating. Not to mention he is a vampire, which makes him very sensitive.

He sweated and cursed at the unfair way his wife would demand a response from him. How long can she held her breathe for? He quickly pulled her out of her current position greeting his teeth at the pleasurable current that shot up his spine as he removed her throat around his cock.

She looked at him with teary eyes, her sultry lips wet as she gasp lightly. "You have to remember your condition Katharina, don't do this again." He pulled her into his arms and petted her back lightly. Instead of agreeing with his suggestion she pushed him on the pillow and in one swift motion sat on his cock harshly eliciting another sharp intake of air from Elijah.

She smirked at his reaction, feeling his powerful member twitching inside of her. She shuddered in pleasure and immediately started moving up and down on top of him, her body shacking ever so slightly as she pushed him deeper inside of her. Elijah moves her hair out of her face wanting to see her enjoy herself as she rides him.

He enjoys this, watching her every reaction to their love making. She shudders and moan whenever he hit a particular spot inside of her. He feels it, the moment she is about to come, he uses his speed to change positions and have her beneath him. Moving his waist faster as she shakes and calls his name telling him she loves him.

He moves faster and hit her sensitive spot harder when she is about to release, he pierce her neck with his fangs. His wife creams his name and released her love juice all over their sheets. She immediately becomes like a puddle of soft pudding, loosing her strength and releasing his painful back from her claws that were deeply imbedded in his back.

"My sweet wife, the night is young." His voice hoarse and seductive. Katherine new she had thoroughly provoked him.

Elijah's cock swelled up inside of her, she shudders endlessly still sensitive from the climax before. She tried to open her eyes but the haze of lust made it impossible for her to recover and beg for mercy from her dear husband.

Elijah looked at her helpless demeanor and couldn't wait to take care of her all night long. He moved his powerful waist going deeper into her folds, reaching her most sensitive parts with vigor and enthusiasm. "Wife..." His voice low and hoarse.

"Mmh. Elijah..." She whined lowly but Elijah increased his speed. The action made her experience a tingling sensation making her hazy with pleasure. "I didn't hear you just now, what did you call me?" The tone is slightly cold and dangerous.

"Husband." Without even trying to have some pride, she immediately called out. In one motion, she is put in the position that makes her climax easier and more intense.

As soon as his assault started, Katherine moans his name pleadingly. Knowing what she wants, Elijah put more power into his thrusts. Katherine only felt her body surrender completely to the intensity of the pleasurable sensation.

"Elijah...." She would occasionally call out his name in delight and loud moans. His cock filling every part of her pussy making it clench. Her clit throbbed endlessly, releasing sparks of electric current up her spine every time Elijah strokes it lightly. She groans and cum all over his twitching cock.

Elijah is delighted by her body's response to his every action making it feel like he belongs inside her cunt. "I want to fuck you now, little wife. Get ready." He gave a powerful thrust drilling deeper inside her cunt, eliciting a loud scream of pain from Katherine at the sudden movement from him.

"Ahh..." she cried. Elijah adjusted her posture and as he increased the pace, he could feel her pussy getting drenched and he knew she started enjoying his angry pounding. She is so tight and hot he has to hold himself from fear of premature climax.

He thrusts in and out of her grunting in pleasure. "Fuck." He cursed lowly feeling his control slip. He wants to cum soon. He growls when her pussy clench again. With a loud scream she climaxes again, drenching his cock bringing him closer to his own release. "I love you." He said getting another orgasm from her as soon as he said it. He smirks at this. His wife is very interesting.

The room remained in a sensual mood for a long time.

Waking up in the morning squinting her eyes from the light. It's day break. She proceeded with covering herself up and closed her eyes again. However, the sheet she is covering with is slowly lifted up and a smell of breakfast assaulted her nostrils.

The stomach groaned in hunger. Katherine opened one eye and saw her husband wearing an apron with a dashing smile on his face. She left for the bathroom and came back wearing a towel around her body.

"I'm surprised you're still here. Shouldn't you be up and down New Orleans searching for your daddy?"

Hearing her, Elijah knows she is teasing him. "He knows his way back home." He said without concern.

"It must be hard being that old, how do you even begin to keep track of your enemies and relationships. A disciple today, a lover tomorrow and a stranger the next day." She shakes her head as distressed.

"It must be hard to tell who will be in your corner at the end of it all."

He narrowed his eyes at her. "What are getting at? Dear wife?"

"I made a new map." She took out a new map although for the most part it looks just like the old one unless one pays attention to a single particular difference.

"The runes on each light is a name, This one says Freya." She pulls him closer to her face even as his eyes widen in shock. "Tell me husband, who is the one called Freya and still has your blood?"

"We had a sister, only Finn met her because she died as a child but that seems to be false." Elijah is in shock. 

"The interesting question is whether your brut of a father will be moved by this information. You should not give him this knowledge without finding out how it will affect him." She kissed his cheek and continues to eat.

Elijah smiled a self mocking smile. "How to find out such a thing about Mikel? All he does is make rivers of blood whenever he comes out." 

"Then find out about this person from someone who will know more than you." She then murmured lowly something as if she is talking to herself. "The one you all overlook may know more than all of you at this point." 

Hearing her mummer, he just gave her a kiss and disappeared. She is still eating when someone came in. "Oh? How was your stay?" Katherine asked the little wolf.

"It was great, until I went for a walk at night. You should close your windows." Katherine looked stupid hearing her.

"Pfft." Laughing hard, even tears came out.

"Did you listen for long? Come and join us if you can...I dare you little wolf." She said seductively.

Hayley smiled "You are something else. Is this the reaction when someone said they heard such an intimate scene?"

"Otherwise?" Katherine continues to staff her mouth.

"Why is there breakfast again?" Hayley sat down.

"Husband made it for me." She said while eating not noticing the unhappy expression on Hayley's face.

"You're lucky." Hayley says thinking of the terrible cheese sandwiches she has to make herself in that house.

"I tell him everyday." Katherine smiled.

"Huh?" Hayley had been distracted a while back.

"That he is lucky. I tell him everyday." Katherine eats until full. She rubs her stomach in satisfaction when she finishes.

Hayley laughed hearing her. Shaking her head, she asked something she has been wondering.

"Why is everybody studying?"

"They are learning art, so they can be more refined. How can they get partners if they are so ruff and lack depth."

"I see. You know art?" Hayley asked intrigued.

"Yes. No I won't teach you."

"Why not? I thought you like me?"

"I like you just fine. But you belong to the hybrid, I don't want him to think I'm brainwashing you against him or something." Katherine rolled her eyes.

"That's abit extreme don't you think?" Hayley frowned. "I don't belong to anybody and there will be no brainwashing."

"How would you know? It's called brainwashing for a reason." Katherine deadpans.

"I don't think you are a good companion for a pregnant woman Katherine. What in the world are you even saying?" Caroline walks in taking a few pancakes into her own plate.

"Good morning buzzkill." Katherine said to Caroline.

"That sweet child doesn't need another overly paranoid parent. Thank you very much." Caroline said making both women smile at her words.

"But why would you want to learn art?" Caroline asked Hayley. 

"To seduce my husband." Katherine said. Caroline choked of a pancake.

"What?!" She looked at Hayley and then Katherine. "What sort of games do you weird people play with each other?"

"I didn't even ask to learn, I was just curious about what is going on out there." Hayley got flustered by Katherine's remark.

"It's cute you still haven't gotten used to her out of place comments yet. She is just having fun with you." May said from the staircase.

"Do what you must, don't spoil my fun. I can't even drink bourbon anymore. If you take this away from me I'll triple your training when I give birth." Katherine said making May shudder.

"I'm joking Hayley, go ahead and freak out." May left the kitchen as fast as she came. Katherine sneers at the cowardly behavior.

"So where is your mom?" Katherine asked Caroline.

"Getting rest. She said she feels good but I just ...I want her to be Alright you know?" Caroline said with lingering fears from the doctors diagnosis.

"Are you doubting my skills?" Katherine looked at Caroline will a raised eyebrow.

"Of course not. I wouldn't dare." Caroline quickly said.

"What are you talking about?" Hayley asked.

"Her mom had cancer, now she is supposedly cured....by Katherine." Nadia came in looking worse for wear.

"You can cure cancer?" Hayley's eyes bulged.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. Why do you look like a ghost? Are you obsessing over that book?" Katherine asked Nadia.

Nadia rolled her large eyes. "I think I heard concern in your voice."

"Are you ignoring my question?"

"Relax. I just went through a break up I'll be fine." Nadia pours herself a glass of bourbon and made Katherine smell it.

"I heard you like bourbon, it a shame you went and got knocked up...again." Nadia sneers drinking the full glass.

"Very matured." Katherine rolled her eyes at her daughter's antics.

"Again?" Hayley caught on.

"I had a child before. Of course it was taken from me as soon as it came out. Not even a glance." Katherine had a distressed expression.

"That's sad." Hayley said.

"I had thought my father was being spiteful at the time but now I think he must have been trying his best. Nadia come with me for a chat." She stood up and went into her study.

"What is it?" Nadia looked around the office space.

"I will tell you about your father."

Nadia kept silent. It will be a lie to say she is not curious.

"His name was Amon Stewart at least that is the English version. The important part is that like me, he was a doppelganger." She said.

"You mean a descendant of Silas?" Nadia had a serious expression.

"Yes. When I first met Stefan I knew I had seen that face before. It wasn't until I met Elena that I realized what happened. The blood of a doppelganger is very precious especially for travelers. Father must have hidden the truth of your father's identity that is why I was isolated and shipped off after you were born." She said

Nadia stood up in shock. It will make sense to take away the child from the mother and then send her away from home to ensure no one finds out about it's existence. 

"A child of both doppelgangers can you imagine the storm travelers will raise if they ever find out about you?" Katherine cautioned.

"Maybe you shouldn't have told me this. What if someone gets inside my head?" Nadia asked in worry.

Katherine took out a bottle of colorless pills and gave it to her. "Take one everyday. It will increase your mental strength."

"Thanks. A bottle of pills and all my problems will go away?"

"Not all. You are still weak." Katherine sneered.

"Gee, thanks." She took the pills and left stomping her feet in anger. 

Katherine is about to go out when Davina and Roselle from before entered the study. "Sorry for coming unannounced, I have to report my information to you before Qetsiya can be paid." 

"Right. What do you have for me?" Katherine listened to the entire story about the harvest and the subsequent events. She called Tony and told him to give a few pills to Qetsiya.

"I am going away soon. Qetsiya and I have a deal." The witch said.

"Alright go well."

"So what are you going to do? From what I gather, those witches will not welcome from the otherside even if you willingly sacrifice yourself."

"I don't want to die." The young girl said with a tense expression. 

"Then give back the magic and sever your connection with the ancestors. Learn a new branch of magic, one not governed by a bunch of dead witches or anyone else but you." Katherine said.

"Will you help me?" The tinge of dependence in those large brown eyes made Katherine's heart soften.

"I have the knowledge. First let's find the way to give back the power and then we will complete the ritual but in a safe space where you will not die. Your friends will come back and you will no longer be bound to the ancestors." Katherine hugged the girl in comfort. 

"It sounds complicated." Davina said nervous.

"I am not a witch so I am not even confident about it. It may be better to wait it out like you had initially planned." Katherine said the ugly truth.

"I will think about it." Davina got out of the study. She has learned so much from Katherine, she is even more confident in her own power. But Katherine is saying the power is killing her.

She doesn't know what to do. Marcel has been radio silent. Should she trust Katherine? Or should she continue with the plan she had with Marcel?

Just as she is confused. Josh came in. "Josh, you are okay." Davina hugs him happily.

"Hay, I'm still alive. Marcel I'd waiting in the cabin." Josh said.

Davina hesitated thinking about the decision she is to make soon. "D, is something wrong?" Josh saw her hesitation so he asked.

"No, come on let's go see Marcel."
