Half way down the hall, she ran into Rebekah coming from her bedroom.
"What the bloody hell are you doing here?" she demanded, as soon as she saw her.
"Hayley let me in. As I already informed your backstabbing brother, I'm not here to see you. I'm only here for Elijah. At least, one person has manners around here," Katherine replied, before passing her as quickly as she could, without using her vampire speed. She didn't want a confrontation with Rebekah.
When she finally found the Original she was searching for, he was in his room. She could tell by the scent from behind the closed door. Since she, like Elijah, believed in not entering someone else's space without permission, she knocked. Especially, when that person was an Original vampire of 1,000 years.
"Come in," he said from his bedroom.
When she walked in and closed the door behind herself for possible privacy, she saw that he was at his desk writing something down on a piece of paper.
He looked up and was surprised to see who it was.
"Katerina?" he questioned. "What brings you to New Orleans?"
"It's boring in Mystic Falls, so I came to New Orleans to pay you a visit. Hayley seems to be the only one with manners around here apart from you."
"So, you've met the girl carrying Klaus' child," he stated.
"I have. I knew her back in Mystic Falls, but we didn't have the best relationship. I also came to see for myself if it was true, which I saw for myself actually is true. Klaus seems to have gotten more aggressive lately. I assume it's because he's going to have a child and he actually wants to be a father.
She sat down in a chair in front of his desk.
"Is that the only reason that you came?"
"No."
"I also came to make sure that you were okay."
"Thank you, Katerina, but I'm fine. We're just having a disagreement that should be resolved soon."
"What kind? Maybe I can help you."
"Niklaus thinks that war is the best way to go to win back this city that was once ours. I think otherwise."
"Well, maybe Hayley and I can speak to Klaus. Give him some reason to not start an all-out war. It wouldn't be in Hayley or the child's best interest. I should know. I've been there before and it's not fun."
"What do you mean, Katerina?"
"You don't know my past of why I came to England. My family banished me, because I had an illegitimate daughter. I never got to name or hold her, because my father took her from me and I couldn't find her anywhere. I went back for her when she was about eight in 1498, but I couldn't find her. Then, recently, she came to Mystic Falls. Her name is Nadia Petrova. She asked to be turned so she could find me."
"Then why aren't you with her now?"
"Because I told her to stay behind to make sure that nothing happens to Caroline or the others. She'll call me if anything happens. Besides, we have forever to do some mother-daughter bonding."
"Well, if you'll be staying, Katerina, you can either stay with me in here or sleep in one of our guest bedrooms we have available."
"If you'd like, I'd prefer to sleep in here with you."
