Summary: A very human Kat come to New Orleans in search of Elijah for protection. Will he grant it? What will ensue?
It was a beautiful day in New Orleans, as a human Katherine Pierce, formerly Katerina Petrova, walked through the streets in search of Elijah Mikaelson, her ex who left her for his brother. She needed him now more than ever before. She was human now and she had many enemies; all of which were supernatural beings.628Please respect copyright.PENANA6gcDAkJCZ3
When she made herself to the Bayou, she saw what looked to be the aftermath of an explosion that had been mixed with wolfsbane. And amongst the injured and non-injured werewolves were Elijah and Hayley. It looked to her like Hayley had finally found her family.628Please respect copyright.PENANAzKYMBLBFE4
She walked towards them.628Please respect copyright.PENANAUBFOxn2fyE
"Katerina?" Elijah questioned, seeing her.628Please respect copyright.PENANABri3Y6zrIa
"I need your help," she told him.628Please respect copyright.PENANAeZukRqS8gC
"This isn't the time or place, but we'll discuss this later."628Please respect copyright.PENANAdWKsQq7A9g
"What happened?" she questioned.628Please respect copyright.PENANAXvf4oLvU3t
"Someone sent a suicide bomber out here," Hayley informed her.628Please respect copyright.PENANATP55WgxxKw
"Why would someone want to kill werewolves?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA57AU0hwnAf
"I don't think they planned it like this. Whoever it was, has to be targeting me and my unborn child."628Please respect copyright.PENANA79Jn0zawV8
"You're pregnant?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAHT06O7PrvO
"I guess you haven't heard. I'm carrying Klaus' "miracle" child, as the wolves call it."628Please respect copyright.PENANAkI3RywYgdt
"No. I didn't hear. I've been trying to survive any humanly way, but someone broke his promise to protect me from Silas so, as usual, I ran for my life and decided to try my luck in New Orleans. Let's help your wolves first, though," she explained.628Please respect copyright.PENANATKk0vpObEH
They watched, as Katherine went over to where Eve was trying to comfort a small family of a little boy and girl and their parents.628Please respect copyright.PENANAwC7hlvv63P
Eve stood up and looked at her.628Please respect copyright.PENANAMCdGFhdtyl
"Katherine; nice to see you again. I wish it was under better circumstances, though," she greeted.628Please respect copyright.PENANAAjJFPjk25G
"It's nice to see you, too. What can I do to help?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAa9si2AgZPQ
"Well, I need to go and make the cure for wolfsbane and someone needs to tend to the wounded and be of comfort to the others."628Please respect copyright.PENANAU9gwrWg1w7
"I'll do both with help from Hayley and Elijah, but there has to be some place you can go until we can fix the damage."628Please respect copyright.PENANAP1w2qAH5ME
"We've been banished. We can't enter the French Quarter."628Please respect copyright.PENANAA42wVOlJUW
"I'm sure the Originals will have something to say about that. Go make the cure. I'll do what I can."628Please respect copyright.PENANAqKd59asA0N
"Thanks, Katherine."628Please respect copyright.PENANA0HBDXZoQVw
While Eve walked off to go make the cure, she knelt on the ground and looked at the kids whose parents were trying to comfort them.628Please respect copyright.PENANAudM5HU9SpU
"Don't be afraid. It was just an explosion. Everything will be okay. What's your name?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ6TYjBay2
"Sydney."628Please respect copyright.PENANAYBlSXo6syx
"William."628Please respect copyright.PENANAdZxqxtQQlF
"Well, I know you're afraid right now, but you don't need to be. When I was your age, I used to be afraid too, but you know what?"628Please respect copyright.PENANAn5FwOURCo6
"What?" they asked.628Please respect copyright.PENANAGiNdO8qTNQ
"My ma'ma told me to look to the starts and listen to the birds. The stars are your ancestors watching over you and if you listen to the birds with your heart, they'll guide you home and you're never really alone."628Please respect copyright.PENANAuurap1N6vb
The children listened to her and then Sydney had to ask, "Where's your ma'ma?"628Please respect copyright.PENANA6QQ1hZ533m
"She's one of the stars now."628Please respect copyright.PENANAxxYGNLtX6G
Katherine gave them a smile and then went to comfort and tend to others.628Please respect copyright.PENANALuDsETOVCw
As Elijah tended to the wolves and watched Katerina, it made him wonder if she had once had a child, as calm and nurturing as she was with the children.628Please respect copyright.PENANAEguKUU5bD0
Soon, Eve returned with the cure in which Elijah, Hayley, and Katherine gave to the wolves.
When the wolves were heading out of the Bayou with Hayley and Elijah leading, heading for Father Kieran's church, another explosion happened.628Please respect copyright.PENANAFqpCAEUlvs
"Get them out of here. I need to help her," he told Hayley.628Please respect copyright.PENANA1jP6mv0WP4
She knew who he was referring to.628Please respect copyright.PENANACyY93GnSNi
"I'll meet you at the church."628Please respect copyright.PENANAkpKucKlc0x
Elijah left the wolves to find the love of his life, though she was his ex.628Please respect copyright.PENANAFyJVjFIXOa
"Katerina!" he yelled, as he raced towards where she lay.628Please respect copyright.PENANAwDquxGqaKn
He knelt at her side and looked down at her. She lay on her side with her lower left side bleeding, eyes closed, but alive.628Please respect copyright.PENANA2LwKM7ikvL
He gently pulled her into his arms and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.628Please respect copyright.PENANAX2mg1mx95U
"Stay with me, Katerina. I'm right here. I"ll protect you. Just stay with me," he said, not wanting to lose her.628Please respect copyright.PENANA6kbgthJdqb
He took his wrist away, which instantly healed, as did her wound.
A few hours later, when she woke up, she saw that she was in Elijah's room with him seated on her bedside.628Please respect copyright.PENANAVDalQY7vSI
She smiled and slowly sat up in bed.628Please respect copyright.PENANASKruKHkvpq
"You saved me. Thanks."628Please respect copyright.PENANAmQkAOrT3Xw
"Always and forever, Katerina," he replied with a smile.628Please respect copyright.PENANAIgwsKuDDXp
She smiled back.628Please respect copyright.PENANAPRwjraZsSg
A moment later, they were kissing.
