Three days in this dank, godforsaken tomb. It was three days too long without blood, as far as Katherine was concerned. There wasn’t even a single rat in sight; she was so hungry she’d probably lower herself to eating vermin by now. With a quiet exhalation, the vampire slouched against the clammy rock of the tomb’s wall, losing her balance as the solid rock behind her back disappeared abruptly and the darkness was replaced with artificial light.

"What the—!" Katherine hissed and braced one hand against the floor, bowing her head to shield her eyes from the sudden brightness. Slowly, Katherine raised her chin and blinked at the chamber amidst her hair, bewildered. This was a far cry from the musty tomb she’d occupied just a moment ago. How? A moment of sheer, wide-eyed panic gripped at her as she immediately considered the Originals, but a few deep breaths returned her ability to think straight. It couldn’t be. Damon had imprisoned her in that damn tomb, sealed by the Bennett witches’ spell; no vampire could get out once they stepped inside. It had to be someone else, and Katherine was willing to bet they couldn’t be worse than Klaus.

Despite her blood-starved body protesting at every move, Katherine straightened from her slouch and cast a critical eye down at herself. She was a mess; still wearing the wrinkled, knee-length black dress, dirt smudging her skin that had taken on a slightly sickly, ashen pallor – she could only imagine the dark circles bound to sit under her eyes. Her straightened hair hung down her shoulders, a curtain of limp frizz instead of the mass of curls she normally sported. She scoffed at the state of her and cursed Damon all over again. Caroline and that backstabber Lucy, too, while she was at it.

But she had a more immediate objective now, such as getting out and feeding. Oh, and a shower.

"Very well. I’ll bite," Katherine finally drawled wryly, smirking at her pun as she glanced about. "Hello? Anybody home?"

Preferably someone filled with nice, juicy veins full of thick, warm blood. Humming a soft sound of amusement at the thought, Katherine wet her dry lips and addressed the empty room again, her attitude remarkably lackadaisical for such an evidently unwell person in an uncertain situation.

"Nobody obviously taught you people manners. It’s rude to keep a lady waiting."

[Katherine, get a fucking life.]

I'm not answering shit. Let's ask you the same question.

Well, one minute I was minding my own business, and then the next I was here. That shouldn't be too difficult to understand, even for you.

One minute you'e alive and the next minute I put a nice piece of wood in your chest. That won't be too difficult to understand when that happens, right?

You would know all about that, wouldn't you? I heard about that unfortunate incident with Damon.

Turns out he missed. I won't.

[Lexi.]

Well, I'll be sure to be sufficiently terrified. I'm sure the fear will set it any minute now.

Underestimate me all you want, Katherine. I have nothing to lose.

[And nothing but Stefan to defend.]

I've survived worse dangers during my time. [Or managed to outrun, rather, but shhh.] You're really not very scary in comparison.

You don't even know me. Don't let this cute face fool you, Katherine.

What, do you need me to converse with you over bags of blood? Get to know you? Thanks, but I'm fairly certain I know enough about you, Lexi.

Continue believing that. I've had it out for you for over a century.

Trust me. I have a few issues with you, as well.

Mine are a little more valid and a whole lot less crazy than yours.

Oh, now who presumes to know whom?

Don't need to know you personally to know you're certifiably insane.

Yes, well, us insane people can do all sorts of unexpected things, so I suggest you stay the hell out of my way for your own good.

Screw your suggestions, Katherine. When it comes to Stefan and Elena, I have nothing to lose in protecting them. If you even look at them the wrong way, I won't hesitate. You don't scare me.

And your aggressive little die-hard act doesn't mean a thing to me. If you come after me, I will take you down. Be aware of that.

Likewise.
