The Fox Doppelganger TVD

These pups must have been terrorized by the humans because Katherine is well aware of how strong headed and proud these little beasts are but they seem to have been spiritually affected.

She teleported the kids to the inside of the barrier without even touching them. This is testament on how much more powerful she has grown after taking the second evolution elixir. However, her beastly instincts of feeling the hostile breath from a group of intruders who even dared to harm her pack's young ones. No beast can tolerate such an act on their own territory. W

Katherine's anger boils over and her dark powers momentarily gained control over her and she roared like an angered monarch.

That single beastly roar had been so loud and fused with anger that everyone present felt their hearts grasped in the cold grip of death. The peculiar thing is that their blood is boiling with tremendous heat at the same time turning their skin red and even busting some of their blood vessels they way it was hot.

The mortal black witches who were amongst the Strix and has survived the previous attack exploded into blood mists. The humans in front of Katherine however, were hurt but are still standing strong. They must be somehow protected from the monsters they hunt. Interesting

All those present saw their lives as they have lived flashing before their eyes. The pack is safe from the turmoil as Katherine's people and clan.

Then she let loose knowing her pack will be safe from her wrath because they each carry her blood. Without the intention to she will never harm them but just in case she sent the last message to the pack link. "Take everyone underground."

She could feel her power over death and darkness improve and twist into a burning anger. The kind that would consume all in its path. The vampires from the Strix scattered away using vampire speed when they felt their blood boil as if they were being attacked by a witch.

The cars nearby exploded in a loud bang simultaneously creating a larger flame that consumed everyone near which is Katherine and the humans who hunt monsters. Her roar earlier had shattered some sensitive places in the nearby cars and then oil leaked leading to an explosion.

Katherine did not run she stayed, her dark powers took hold of all the humans shadows and let them stay to enjoy the explosion with her. The man included, he might not feel like a human but he has a shadow.

Katherine's fox spirit intervened and calmed Katherine's spiraling mind. She stood rooted as the massive flame rocked her body trying to propel her to the sky but her fox beast paws dug into the ground and she stood her ground.

Almost all the human hunters died instantly except for one. Katherine can feel his life force pulsing even as the flames ravage his body. They almost always healed instantly but the pain must be tremendous.

The surrounding flames all suddenly gathered into a tornado surrounding Katherine. They grew larger and larger from the initial burning sensation to her wounds healing one by one and soon the flames burned from yellow to a deep golden color.

Instead of burning her body like before they are now dancing around her like a naughty child. Katherine felt the connection she had long forgotten. The connection to the flames. Now that fire is her ally it will not harm her.

She took out a set of clothes as her hair grows back in place when her body completely healed. Katherine Walked towards the rapidly healing body of the man from before.

She grabbed his arm and invated his mind. Unlike before when she would try and be subtle with her actions, she bulldozed her way in and saw an interesting story. As someone experienced in reading minds she didn't take too long and got out when she found what she wanted.

The man is starting to wake up when she came out if his mind. She took a special set of shackles and bounded the man. She is now in a very tight spot because the organization this man works for is complex and has many branches just like a never ending web.

Even with his status he doesn't have knowledge of the other branches to avoid total inhalation in case one group falls into the hands of the enemy. Moreover before hunting an enemy, they are properly reported and as long as the enemy is still existing in their memories.

It means they are not eliminated and another group will come and they will keep coming until they forget about the enemy all together which will signify the end of the hunt.

Unless she has a way to make everyone forget her in the entire world, her pack is not safe from these people. Looking at the man on the ground she really wanted to kill him for coming up with such a cruel system.

Today they showed her that they are not above hurting children. She has hundreds of young wolves in there. She took the man and appeared in her personal chambers underground, she threw him on the side and went to meditate to look for a way out of this situation.

The only way she could think of is to get rid of the pit but after researching about it, she found that she doesn't have time to think about it much because another hostile group showed up two days later.

Having read the mind of man she put in deep sleep with a tonic, she knows they will keep coming and coming for her. These three factions say that they hunt monsters and keep the world safe but they really just can't stand anyone else being more powerful than them.

She wrote down the letters for the leaders of her clan. Katherine is relieved that she had ensured the line of succession in her clan will go on without a hitch even if she is out of the picture. Her children will also have a massive monetary inheritance she took from Nicklaus at that time.

Of course she had most of the troublesome ones convected to cash and into three separate trusts with all the documents in each of their separate space artifacts where her inheritance for each child rests waiting for them to turn 16.

She knew she will not have too much time before another group attacks so she will have to count on Rose, the nine tails and Nadia to look after her children for a while.

When the werewolves came out of the underground bunker they couldn't find their leader anywhere. Most speculated that she sacrificed herself during the fight to save her clan members from the humans while others thought she is probably wounded and will heal herself soon.

Rose is suddenly summoned to see Katherine in her medicine room filled with runes. Katherine has recently put a stone bed in the center where a large cauldron used to be.

This stone bed is filled with runes interconnecting the clan like a compex chain of command. This is a new addition to her magic creations. She calls it the clan connection tree. Not a catchy name but she is pressed for time.

This drawing of a treewith ru es as roots and her name along with the nine tails in runic language, the triplets names right after hers. There are many names on the thick strong stem of the tree. Therese are all the elders of the clan. The middle of the tree in the heart of the tree is Rose and Nadia, Vic and the man named Brian who is in charge of the werewolves faction surrounding Roses name.

Several fruits with names on them shine a golden color. Everytime a pack member is born they will be up in the tree after they master the first level of the wolf beast manual. Katherine is only expecting them to reach the end of their lives before reaching 6th level unless they are the nine tails. Only Rose will have access to this tree at that time she will be shocked by the extent of the tree's uses.

"Katherine, why did you insist I come here as soon as I finish my evolution?" Nadia looked at her mother on question. Katherine senses her daughter's increase in strength. She smiled proudly when she felt the significance increase in her overall strength.

"Those humans are not going to stop coming, they have been three groups already and they even have instructions to overturn the pack if I am not found. I killed them but more will come and they will kill people next."

"What can we do?" Rose asked in surprise.

"Nadia, I apoint you the guardian of the clan. Your strength will not stop increasing for a now, you will have epiphanies every once in a while and they will allow you to improve. Use your strength to protect this place and the other place. This is your mother's will." Katherine held her first born in her arms.

"Why does this feel like a good bye?" Nadia stared at Katherine in the eyes.

"Even if I employ your power and mine to go against these people I feel the world resistance to my interference. It seems even with my tails I need to be careful with this group of people." Katherine smiled a self deprecating smile.

"I will appoint you the guardian and Rose will continue to oversee the now three factions ensure they are growing in strength and influence in the world. The time will come when humans will hunt the supernatural creatures openly, we will need a way to protect ourselves using the power of politics and money so try not to slack off." Katherine instructed. She needs to do it here with the runes in this place activated so these instructions will remain even if Katherine doesn't exist anymore.

Nadia will only be a guardian and therefore will not need to be involved too much with the running of the clan every day business so she was given the custody of the triplets for now. This is a blatant way of saying she might not comeback.

Katherine can absolutely trust Nadia with her children. She made sure of it with magic. When it comes to her children, there is no such thing as taking a leap of faith.

The two people are first stunned and then angry at her especially Nadia. "I am sorry, Nadia for disappointing you. You are my blood and I need you to do this for me. I can't trust their father and even if he wants to raise them he will be swarmed by enemies of his family. They might get hurt." Katherine pleaded.

Nadia agreed when she heard that she doesn't have to stay with the clan. But the children need to learn their crafts. Katherine then brought the nine tails together with Nadia and Rose, she performed a ceremony that will allow them to be protected from whatever spell eases monsters from the minds of everyone upon entering the pit. The triplets are also in the room.

She wants to preserve whatever memories the kids have of her. There are recordings but she is selfish and wants them to have the ones they made together.

Katherine instructed them to never look for her because then they will be associated with her which may compromise her children. Knowing this is a direct order, they all agreed.

After making sure everything is perfect, or as close to it as possible, she said her goodbyes and turned to focus on the man in the other stone chamber.

This man doesn't have knowledge of her children but if they dig a little deeper they will find out and then it will be too late at that time. Nothing can happen to her children. Even if she perished.

.....

"Rise and shine." Katherine. Clark woke up and saw the woman, no the monster who was standing still in the middle of an inferno, her flesh melting off her body but she just stood there with an eerie expression watching him.

He had finally succumb when there was suddenly a tornado of flames seemingly drawn to her as if she was absorbingthe flames. Does she hope to get information from him? This is not the first time he was taken by a monster to be tortured.

He showed a calm expression "Are you perhaps thinking you will get ahead if you torture some information out of me?" He chuckled nonchalantly.

"I just need you awake for the next part." Katherine had spent some time away from the pack, three weeks to be exact.

She first wasted a week looking for ways to kill the pit but only came out with undoing the original spell however, she can not find those witches with in the short time frame she had given herself before her children are discovered. She even looked into the archives of the organization called Triad but only found a drawing.

She didn't miss the opportunity to burn the place and after she made sure there is no news of her having kids in their network channel, but she knew it will not last if they are still hunting.

Nadia has already decimated several groups and they keep coming. So she forged a new toy for herself as a reward for her up coming sacrifice.

She looked at the charm bracelet with several deem colored charms and only a few glowing. The Triad has witches working for them, one in particular was brought to Katherine by some vampires from the second faction under Nadia's orders.

He is a witch who is also a vampire. It is a fascinating bloodline that Katherine stole for herself and stored in inside her trinket. Now that she may not be able to have access to her personal warehouse she needed another way to communicate with magic energy in the air.

Katherine had moved the items from the storage warehouse after increasing her own dimensional space she put everything inside. She doesn't have a time frame so she may run out of materials to draw runes so she opted for the ability to do magic.

It works, she was thrilled. Katherine calls this new artifact the talent trove. She released her fox and took the man's ability to come back from death even if burnt to ashes, she will just regenerate.

When the fox spirit came back to her she saw another charm light up. The color is dull like mud but not quite. Katherine made this bracelet to keep track of all her talents. Moreover she can use all of them for herself without any of their original defects.

Clark felt different, he couldn't figure it out but that fox spirit did something to him. Something that changed him.

"What did you do to me?" He asked with a villainous expression.

"I gave you exactly what your father wanted you to have." Katherine leaned closer when Clark's face morphed into an ugly expression.

"What would that be?" He asked his eyes flashing a sinister light.

"Life. Without the defect. Congratulations Mr Clark, you are now mortal." Clark struggled against his shackles.

"I figured a way to get rid of you and punish you at the same time. I will take you to your father and when he realizes that you are human now, he will be enticed by your new body and let go of his other pursuit in favor of you." Katherine crackles when she sees his growing horrific expression.

"You are finally going to gain your father's approval." Katherine has been in the triad facility for a while now trying to experiment with some of the mud from the pit but she found out she could probably only influence the pit if it gained a physical form.

Malibvo wants to be human maybe she can convince him to wear this son instead of the one who is probably still a baby.

First she needs to ensure that Clark forgets her with the rest of the world but still come into the pit after she has already gone in. She then made a magical bind which will surely pull him inside after she goes inside.

She first had a video call watching and saying goodbye to her babies, Rose and the nine tails. Hopefully they will remember her. She jumped in mean while thinking 'This world has a strange custom,' but she will be back for her children.

A long time after she leaped into the pit, Clark is pulled in as well. Katherine is not the one to pull him in but the pit itself.
