Chapter 21: Heavenly fox demon tails
"Good morning Helder the voodoo priestess and her hostage /volunteer / audience. Ow my, did I interupt something?" Katherine looked at the two who are looking at each other in a silent conversation.
"Katherine, what are you doing here?" Stefan asked looking at Katherine as if he wasn't hoping she was someone else a moment ago.
"Hi, Stefan you don't look so good? Did you go diving while riding inside a locked safe? That must have been nasty. Your thoughts are all over the place I did not go into your head to see what you have been through. Don't blame me." She walked inside the house and looked at Stefan up and down.
"Trauma, huh? Too bad. Remember that time I came to town and told you I came back for you and you told me you hate me? How am I looking now compared to the 'love of your life who ripped your heart out and fed it to your brother?' Am I looking good? Do I still look like the Manipulative psychotic bitch?" The happiness in her eyes is hard to ignore.
Stefan avoided her eyes. He is already going through too much to help Katherine with her joyous mood right now. He is just going to try and ignore her. However, Katherine brought forth Elena's face as she told him she is in love with his brother. He couldn't keep his anger inside and exposed his ugly side in outrage.
Stefan lunged for Katherine with his vampire face on display, his anger apparent. Katherine did not move and just stood there as he tried to tackle her to the ground but instead as if he had hit a hard wall, he bounced and fell flat on the floor. Katherine smiled and lowered her face to look at Stefan on the ground.
Using her one finger she touched his nose and made a 'Pupp' sound, like one would when playing a children's game. "Don't be so gloom Syefan, I'm just joking with you. Do I look like someone who would delight in the pain and obvious misery of others?"
"Of course not. I am very nice which is why even though I really really want to tell you that I told you so, I won't do it. See? I am a good person. Here, take this golden dew and drink your sorrows away and if you are lucky enough, you will drink yourself to death." She took a step forward crushing Stefan's outstretched hand under her boot.
Qetsiya looked dumbfounded. "That got dark really fast." She said looking at Katherine as she put the bottle on one of the tables. Katherine looked at Stefan. She pointed at the bottle of golden dew.
"It is the only way to move past this traumatic experience you have been through. That, or another epic love story. But you are not that lucky are you Stefan? If you were, you would have never let yourself fall so far." Katherine put a golden dew on the table and walked towards Qetsiya.
"2000 year old witch."
"500 year old doppelganger."
They stare at each other for a few moments and then laugh and hug each other. Stefan on the ground is surprised but then remembered she had once said she knew Qetsiya.
He stands up and pours himself a full glass of golden dew and started the slow pace of death by alcohol. Fingers crossed. Katherine thought as she saw him goble up an entire glass.
"Why are you here?" Qetsiya asked Katherine after all the pleasantries.
"I want you to give me the immortality elixir recipe." Classic Katherine, she just came up and said it.
"No, this whole problem started with me trying to alter the natural life span of someone's life." Qetsiya said on guard.
"Look, I'm gonna level with you. I know how to make a person live for thousands of years without aging and still not be considered immortal. I have that recipe what I want is the original version that created Silas. Yes, I figured out who your fiance was, all by myself." She said smiling sheepishly.
"If you have that recipe then what do you want this one for?"
"I won't create it the same way I just want to see the magic aspects of it. With my rune language I am sure I can come up with something that is better. It's really for research." Katherine said shrugging off Qetsiya's obvious discomfort.
"No. I have..." Qetsiya didn't finish before Katherine put a command inside her head.
"Gods, are all ancient women so obnoxious? Me! Me! All the time." Katherine looked at a stunned Stefan and gave him a command to fall asleep.
"So many juicy spells in here, a shame I'm not a witch but why not copy them all anyways?" Katherine and her fox get to work and after an hour they finally reached the immortality elixir recipe including the cure for immortality recipe. It would have been earlier had Katherine not been so greedy for all the ancient knowledge inside Qetsiya's head.
"Already committed sin against nature and I will not allow anyone else to commit the same mistakes I made. I am sorry Katherine, but I won't do it." Qetsiya got ready for a fight. However, Katherine only showed dejection and just shrugged. She had also woken Stefan at some point before she woke Qetsiya.
"Look, I understand and I won't ask you about it again, okay? Now what fun things were you about to do to drunk old Stefan? I recommend body shots." Qetsiya looked at Katharine with a raised eyebrow.
"Just because Stefan is a tool, and was utterly insufferable when he was dating Elena doesn't take away his gorgeous body points." Katherine says light heartedly.
"I was going to fry his brain so that I can temporarily take away Silas's psychic ability. But maybe after the body shots?" Qetsiya is tempted by the idea but she is also on guard against Katherine.
Katherine can read her mind as clear as a picture now that she doesn't have to be obvious with her actions inside someone's head since her triple breakthrough. Her fox is helping her arrange the information obtained from Qetsiya. This woman is like a gold mine.
Does this mean she had lost out when she didn't meet her mother in law? But what can be more important than dimensional magic. Runes have it of course but Qetsiya had so much research on the subject that Katherine couldn't wait to dive in but first, she looked at Stefan and remembered how he rejected Katherine who was obsessed with him.
This is the perfect moment to pay him back in a subtle way that will shit on all the progress he would have had in the future. Katherine smiled inwardly at the malicious intent she was haboring. She is aware this is the power of darkness and the sinister power of necromancy manifesting itself.
But so what? He loves Elena so much? Good, let's times it by a factor of 5 and see how much closer his relationship with Damon and Elena will be after that. They say money is the root of all evil? They just haven't been in love.
Katherine honestly believed what she said to Elena in that letter about her existence being necessary for the two brothers to grow. However, that Elena and her relationship with the Salvatore brothers had left Katherine in the cold. Locked in a tomb for all eternity. Even when they found out about her tragic past, no one cared.
They did not care that they would have been in danger if they were found out to be with her or that she could have genuinely wanted them safe. The simple reason why was because they had both replaced her with one Elena Gilbert. She didn't matter anymore no one needed her anymore because they had Elena!
Stefan finally noticed the ring on her finger. "Did you get married?"
"Yes, he and his siblings surprised me and it was fantastic. Thank you for noticing. Speaking of which, I have to go and continue with my hunymoon. Qetsiya, all the best. Stefan, happy suffering. Say hello to the happy couple for me and.....Caroline." She smiled an left the two people confused.
"I have a bad feeling about that smile." Stefan shuddered.
"Let's finish the spell and you can then go on your marry way.
...
Katherine has the recipe and went back to her home to where her people are living a peaceful life. Of course Elijah left when he found out a witch is luring Klaus to Louisiana. Katherine didn't mind this, she had been in seclusion before and he had waited for her and even organised a wedding for them. She is content....for now.
The nine tails had asked her about college. Katherine didn't want to limit them and told them to do whatever they want. By some cosmic work they all got accepted in the college in the New Orleans city. This made her very helpless. Especially when she heard Mikel built a house there, large enough to accommodate a large clan.
Katherine had not even thought about joining them because she already have a home and that is supposed to be their college life. However, ever since Elijah left she has been feeling out of sorts. Moody, nauseous and has crazy sleeping schedule.
That business with Stefan was probably one of her powers going alpha on her. She has decided to get lost in the wonders of research. A week passed by and when she had succeeded in creating three different enhancement potions akin to the immortality elixir, a sharp pain stabbed into her heart. The pain transmitted by the brain shook her body and she fell on to the ground almost spilling out the contents of one of the the elixir potions.
It is so overwhelming that she passed out. Katherine is a very powerful creature but she went ahead and established a connection with Elijah who is at the mercy of his tyrannical brother Nicklaus. She woke up feeling weak and saw blood coming from her lower body. In shock she took the elixir that was meant for Elijah and herself.
The best thing about this elixir is that it doesn't turn people into Vampires but improves their constitution and natural talent. Purifies the bloodline and enhance whatever existing power is in the blood. For Katherine, it means her fox and all her abilities will multiply by many folds, and then some. But the rest of the immense power will come gradually.
The first of her talents to improve is likely the spiritual energy that she uses to observe her surroundings. What Katherine I looking forward to improve the most is her mental strength so that her mind arts can further improve without her having to grow a new tail.
The potions will not make them some sort of immortals but a simple white oak stake will no longer put Elijah down after he consumes this elixir. Katherine took the medicine because she is sure whatever mortality glitch is taking place in her body will be fixed this way. However.... The results are not promising at all.
The bleeding didn't stop, Katherine yelled for her clan members to take her to a hospital. She packed up the elixirs and the research away into the warehouse before passing out again.
When she woke up again she was in a hospital, the nurses trying to put a drip on her but the needles wouldn't go in. Katherine controls her muscles and the needles finally went inside giving her a much needed whatever is inside the drip. The fox inside her head is freaking out which says a lot because that beast is very powerful and playful by nature.
Katherine is coming in an out of consciousness until the connection between her and Elijah is severed by the fox. When this happened, the fox retreated back and became silent again. The bleeding finally stopped and the nurses heaved a sigh of relief.
The fox is very upset about cutting off the connection between itself an the mate but the lives of its kind are very important to a beast.
Two days passed and by the third day Katherine woke up to find herself surrounded by people in white coats and ... Rose? "Rose...." Her throat is dry probably from not drinking enough water.
"Katharina. You are awake? Can you see me?" Rose got to her side in a second.
"Stop shouting!" Katherine said after drinking water given to her by a nurse. "What is going on? Why was I bleeding?"
Katherine doesn't know it but the water was laced with a small amount of vervain. She is repulsed by the water but she drinks it anyways. The doctor seeing that she is not hurt by the water realised she is indeed not a Vampire.
This fact just makes her even more interesting in the eyes of the doctor.
"Hello miss Katherine, I am doctor Helen Matthews. You were bleeding because you went through some sort of trauma and the fetus got disturbed and that is why they were loosing vitals. It is a miracle you made it through and it is even a bigger miracle they survived." The doctor smiled at Katherine showing curiousity at this patient whose skin is harder than steel needles.
"Fetus?" Katherine I just coming out of a comma so she is a little groggy.
"You are 3 weeks pregnant, with what seems to be tribblets. Congratulations." The doctor smiled at her.
Katherine's eyes widened in shock. Her hand instinctively went to her stomach and she tried to listen for a heart beat but she is too overwhelmed.
"Pregnant? I am pregnant!" She first showed an incredulous expression as if mulling over the word and then she showed a horrified expression, remembering the bleeding she had gone through and the untested elixir she drank. "Oh my god! Where the fudge is Elijah? He better be here or I will descend upon him...." Her heart rate increased again.
"Please come down maam...your blood pressure is going up, it will cause problems if you don't come down." The doctor tried to come her down and Rose helped.
"Katharina breath, in and out .... Worry about the babies for now and everything else will fall into place alright?" Katherine took deep breaths to come back down. She closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.
"The vitals are normal again, well normal for her anyways. She just needs to remain calm and then she will be fine. We will need to take some blood for tests I wonder if she can help us with this?" The doctor asked with a mild tone but how can Rose not see the excitement in her eyes?
Rose looked at the doctor and smiled. "We will be taking her away soon. This hospital is not suitable for her." The doctor had an ugly expression after hearing this.
"I must ask that you reconsider miss Marie, the patient can not be moved at this point. Her condition is only temporarily stable and if you move her, you will run the risk of ..." The doctor didn't finish before Rose got in her face.
"Risk of what? Say it I want to hear you say to my face." Her fierce expression scared the doctor into silence. Rose got back to her seat and when the doctor left the room she looked at Katharine with worry.
Just then she saw an illusory image of three large fox tails, they each wrapped Katherine in the stomach area after that they disappeared inside her belly leaving a very confused Rose staring at Katherine's stomach.
What Rose doesn't know is that when the fox felt malice from the doctor, she used her spirit power and put an impenetrable barrier that also naurishes the fetus. However, in doing so, the fox will be asleep until the babies are out of danger and do not need her protection. This action has set off a monumental even that would shock the heavenly realm to the core.
Katherine's eyes flattered open and she finally felt better. She tried to communicate with her fox spirit but got no reply. Realising something went wrong she meditated and examined her entire body. She saw the spirit fox's power engulfing the womb where there babies are and realised she had made another sacrifice but this time it is for their biological children.
Katherine got well after that, she woke up and could talk. "Where is Elijah?" The voice is cold Rose almost couldn't recognise it. She stood up and replied.
"We have tried everything even Mikel who is there can not find him. We don't have a witch and New Orleans city witches can not perform magic without being killed off by the vampire king." Rose replied respectfully.
Katherine said nothing after that and took out a vial of the enhancement elixir. "I need you to be incharge for a while and maybe even after that because I will have to be a mother soon. You should accept this." She gave her the vial and looked at Rose.
"Yes clan leader. What is it?" Rose looked at the yellow liquid that seem to be spreading golden light around the hospital room. She is mesmerized by it's beauty.
"It is something I worked on for my clan generals. It will allow you to advance in your bloodline. The vampires are actually a part of a much noble species that specialises in blood magic. Your level is very low key so when you drink that, you will only grow stronger in the future." Katherine said stunning Rose.
"Your power will be dependent on your potential to evolve. Once in a while to you will go through metamorphosis that will boost all your existing talents and occasionally add one more. Soon, you will walk amongst the gods in this world, but make no mistake Rose, you will still be just an ant in the eyes of real gods." Katherine warned.
"This world is not a simple as we know it so it is better to keep a low profile alright?"
"Give this one to Vic." She took out another one, this one has a purple colour.
"This is basically the same thing but three grades below yours. Like I said you will be in charge for me while I deal with things. First I need to know if you agree to my terms?" Katherine looked at Rose. The frail form from before is now replaced by a stern expression.
"You can tell me if this will be too much for you. I will understand. You will not just be incharge of one faction, you are to take care of all the factions in my clan. Appoint a wolf to be in charge of werewolves just like Vic is with the Vampires. Then you are incharge of them both."
" I want reports on the progress on each faction's strength development, combat prowess, the business profits. But hold off on the recruitment unless the decision is made by each leader. May will help you with the wolves now that her job that side is not necessary. She might want to come home."
Katherine sat there looking at Rose as if a sovereign bestowing wisdom upon her subject. Rose listened intently.
"Leading a large group of people is no small matter,I need to know that I am not forcing this on you. Only the one who is meant to, will grow as a leader and learn from their mistakes. If this is not what you want to do with your life then I will understand. I will be very sad but I will understand." Katherine said with a softer tone.
"This is what I want to do, I promise I'll do my best. Clan leader." Rose said firmly making Katherine's worries disappear.
"Alright. Let's go home." Katherine said getting up but Rose stopped her.
"The doctor just said..." Rose hesitates.
"The one full of malice? Take me home Rose, that is a direct order." Katherine is mad at this doctor after finding out from her memories what happened that her fox saw fit to use her entire spiritual power to protect the fetus.
"Yes clan leader." Katherine got up and put on a light dress. Just as they come out they are confronted by doctor Helen and two strong looking officers. The doctors eyes instantly found Katherine standing on her own.
"I new it. She is not narmal. Take that one out first. And you, lay down on the bed, you are being transferred. Let's find out what makes you so strong." Helena has completely changed from the kind smiling doctor from before. Now she seems like a demon crawling to bring everyone down to the abyss with her.
Katherine seeing the vervain and wooden weapons carried by the guards. She can not use her mind arts but she sure as hell can use her fox tail mystical abilities. She looked at Rose.
"Drink the potion." Turning to the doctor she showed her own malicious smile. The shadows of the three people lifted them up into the air and as if they hang on ropes, chocked them to death. But just when the doctor is about to die, Katherine loosened the rope and she fell on the ground unconscious.
Rose drank the potion and soon her powers multiplied but she is obviously not a complete master this second. What Katherine wanted was for her to upgrade her abilities of compulsion enough to override the vervain in the doctor's system.
Katherine heard fast moving footsteps coming her way. She cursed low for forgetting doctor Helen could have accomplices waiting out there. Coming up with a solution, Katherine took out one of her earings and gave it to Rose.
She used her space ability to sent the two dead bodies in the warehouse. Soon it is Rose, Katherine and the doctor in the ward.
"I am going to be taken." Katherine said to Rose coldly. Rose is stunned by this and wants to argue.
"Keep quiet and listen to me. They want me. Which means you won't be their focus. I need you to will lead a team to rescue me. They might decide to kill you off if they find you inside here with me. I will send the two of you under the tree in the resort." Katherine waves her hand and a dark whole appears in front of them. She pointed at the place "Go through there, you will be taken to the place under one of the trees in the resort."
"Katherine, you are pregnant and what happens if they hurt you?" Rose asked in panic at her crazy suggestion. "Why not go with us?" Rose seems beside herself with worry.
"I am pregnant, it might disturb the baby." Katherine said in response.
"They just want me and I am fine now that the fox is keeping them safe. If they come in here and overwhelm you, they might decide to kill you since you'll draw attention. Go back and track me using that earing. I had made it lightly but now it might save my life." Katherine said in self mockery.
"This pair will find each other no matter the distance. Just bring help and try to be careful since your blood will occasionally boil to upgrade itself. That is why I am sending you away right now. One mistake and you die. I had made you take it because I wanted information from the doctor but those people coming are making me reconsider my plans." Katherine harden her expression.
"You know your orders." Katherine said to Rose who responded immediately. "I will not fail you clan leader." Rose said just as the dark space is moved to envelope her and the doctor sending them to the resort in an instant.
Katherine got into the patient gown and laid on the bed. The door bust open and more men in security guard uniform came In and without checking the rest of the ward for the doctor, they pulled out a stretcher and put Katherine on it and then pushed her towards the ambulance parked outside.
Katherine pretended to be unconscious as they drove her away. Soon the ambulance stopped at a secluded spot. She is then transferred into a suspicious black van. The drive is long and soon she is taken out of the car and into what seems to be a quiet place with medical equipment everywhere.
"You said her name is Katherine Pierce? Not Elena Gilbert?" A Man asked the one delivering Katherine.
"Yes." A ruspy voice answered.
"Doctor, they said she is pregnant." Another voice said with what seems to be concern.
"Okay I got it, thank you for your hard work. The Augustine organisation thanks you." The doctor replied.
"Now, let's see all your secrets." The doctor sounds excited.
'Bang!' a loud sound came from a distance away. "She is pregnant! What are you doing?" A tired voice said.
"You are just full of energy this afternoon aren't you Lorenzo St John's? Are you craving my attention that much?" The doctor asked with a threatening tone.
"Monster! Humanity should really burn if things like you are called doctor! You are the lowest of scum." The anger in the tired voice grew instead of getting intimidated by the threats.
"I am a monster? You are a monster here Enzo. How many humans died so that you can keep on living? Tens? A hundred? Or is it amounting to thousands? This woman you are protecting is something unknown, carrying a child inside of her but her skin was so thick that doctors in the hospital couldn't put a drip inside her."
"Look at how beautiful and natural she looks, can you tell that this skin is as hard as steel? What do you think her child will be? What sort of powerful creature will come out of her? I am not a monster Enzo, I am the necessary evil. This woman should not be allowed to bring whatever is cooking in her stomach into this world. Even you must admit that, you don't stand a chance against someone like her."
The doctor took a scalpel and tried to cut Katherine open in the arm just to make sure what the report said is true. Katherine couldn't get inside this person's mind as she had done to doctor Linda so she just snorted in laughter. The spirit fox is sleeping protecting her babies. Mind arts are out of question for the time being.
"Stop it, you are tickling me." Katherine said and sat up. The binds that were supposed to keep her down looked like paper as they snapped and allowed her to move around. She looked at the frozen doctor who is being kept in place by a shadow.
Standing on the ground and taking out flat boots and a pair of loose jeans. A nice looking shirt with a sagy collar that makes her look stylish and casual. Yawning lightly while looking around.
"I'm Katherine." She did a curtsy in greeting.
"Hello gorgeous. Call me Enzo. The mute is dr Maxwell. Did you just let them take you on purpose?" Enzo looked at Katherine with intrigue.
"I was going to escape on the way but then I fell asleep. It must be the pregnancy. I also spent days on research before all this without rest. Of course at the time, I didn't know I was pregnant. Sorry, I'm rambling." Katherine said in an awkward smile.
"It's okay, but you should probably leave this place now, who knows what that was whole will do to your child?" Enzo cautioned.
"Can you find someone for me when you get outside? Just to see if she is okay...."
"Are you dying?" Katherine asked in surprise.
"No." Enzo widened his eyes.
"Then why are you not looking for this person yourself?" Katherine tilted her head.
"I have given up on escaping a long time ago." Enzo finally showed some dejection.
"You say that, but there is no despair in your voice." Katherine took out a blood bag and threw it to Enzo who looked stunned but opened it and drank it all in one go.
"Thank you. And to answer your question, I did despair once, I even had hope but it didn't get me out of here."
Katherine looked at him and sighed. "I will not pretend to understand that which you have endured but I am proud of you for keeping your humanity switch on. It shows strength of character, something rare in our line of experience. So, I will be bold and ask that you come work for me." Katherine said and waited for his answer but a pleasant chuckle escaped Enzo's mouth.
When it became apparent he is not saying anything Katherine continued. "In exchange I will give you strength. The kind you can use to protect yourself and whatever the hell you want." Katherine raised her hand and the bars around Enzo's cell are cut in the upper part and the lower part making the cut out part fall to the ground. A gaping hole resulted where the bars used to be.
Enzo, who had been seated down stood up and approached the opening as if afraid it is an illusion. He first put his hand to feel if it's true. When his hand went through the hole, he followed by putting his entire body through and came out of the cell.
"Strength, you say? And what would I have to do in return for this strength you would give me?" Enzo looked at her with distrustful eyes.
"I will level with you. I have an army of werewolves, and and army of Vampires. I have two generals who will lead these armies should war break out. What I need now is a guard. Someone who will put their life on the en line to protect me and my babies. I don't need this for too long, just until I give birth and I am back at my best." Katherine explained.
"Why not ask these people to guard you for this time then? If you have so many people at your disposal, I fail to see why not just ask them instead?" Enzo asked
"I love them and I want them to continue with whatever plan they have for this summer. Most of them are either going to college or have something lined up. I don't want to disturb their lives just because i went and got knocked up." Katherine said truthfully.
"I see, but I still need to find ...that person and make sure she is well. Then I cans ee if I want to be a guard or not." Enzo answered as if he is not refusing a chance of a lifetime.
"Alright, you can go then. You are free now Enzo. It was nice meeting you." Katherine said in good bye. Enzo kissed her hand smiling charmingly.
"A pleasure. Katherine, I hope you meet you again." Enzo disappeared from the lab finding his way out easily now that he is well fed and in good shape.
"What a shame. I would have loved hearing his accent everyday. Now, doctor Maxwell. What should I do with you? Ah yes, your research must be vast. I am going to confiscate that. Be a deer and tell me nicely where to find it." Katherine walked towards him slowly as if stalking prey.
A shadow closing his mouth moved out of the way and Maxwell can feel he can speak now. He looked at Katherine in horror. He moved his head to see his body held in place by what seems to be dark energy. His head turns to Katherine.
"What are you?" Maxwell asked I trepidation.
"You said it right the first time. I am a monster. Now, tell me where is your research would you dr Maxwell." Katherine smiled at the fear stricken human.
"Everything is documented by hand in the locked shelves on the top corner of your left. Careful with the button there, it release vervain gas." Enzo's voice came through from the entrance.
Katherine looked at Enzo who came back in. "Couldn't find your way out?"
"It is daytime outside, I don't have one of those daylight rings." Enzo said embarassed.
Katherine three him a silver bracelet with a man's style of design. "Bleed on it and no one can take it out without your consent. Consider it a greeting gift." Katherine smiled at the bribe she just gave out.
"You just happen to have this lying around?" Enzo asked with skeptism.
"I can access my warehouse from any location. I have an army remember? These were made for them. They are each unique. Yours creates a small barrier around you when you are being attacked. The bracelet is a spiritual artifect that can protect you from mind reading." Katherine said and Enzo looked at the item with wonder.
He is about to bleed on it when Katherine stopped him. "Before you do that. If you turn off your humanity at some point, it will make you feel every death you commit and deny you entry into the home of living people. You I'll only be able to enter wit an invitation. Normally you will be able to enter any home when wearing that but when you turn off your humanity that previlage is revoked."
"This was made for you army? You are telling me there's an entire group of vampires who can enter any home without an invitation?" Enzo looked at the bracelet.
"As long as they have no malice for the residents they can enter. They will need an invitation if they want to harm the residents. Even if they have their humanity switch on." Katherine said and both Enzo and Maxwell are surprised by the dynamics of such a small artifect.
"You seem like a sensible leader. Your people are lucky to have a leader like you. This is too precious I can't accept it." Enzo tried to return the artifect but Katherine refused him.
"Like I said, it is a meeting gift. I am a generous woman." She smiled at him. Enzo looked at the doctor and his expression morphed into an ugly expression. He seems to be holding himself back. That is probably why he has left in ahurry before. So he can avoid ruining Katherine's plans.
"Do you want to kill him?" Katherine asked Enzo who nodded.
"Have at it. I was just wondering what else he is hiding here." Katherine didn't even look at Maxwell who tried to speak but the gag is back on.
"I can kill him?" Enzo asked with visible happiness.
"Yes, I just needed information on his entire group so I can completely destroy it, but you seem impatient. I'm sure I can find some other way." Katherine said nonchalantly.
Enzo thought it over and looked at Maxwell. "Then why aren't you interogating him?"
"I have to wait for my people who can compell him to tell us everything he knows before killing him. My powers of mind manipulation are not available right now so I can't do it. And I imagine he has vervain in his system so you can't compel him either. But maybe you should try and see." Katherine said with a small amount of hope.
Enzo tried but failed as expected the doctor is not stupid. Enzo decided to wait with Katherine so that he will help them in eradicating this organisation for good.
Katherine took all that she found inside this lab into her warehouse along with all the research documents. She then asked Enzo about his life before getting caught and they talked until Rose came and took Maxwell's statement by recording. She made sure to write down every member's information so they can hunt them down. Enzo took his copy of the information and left.
