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.423Please respect copyright.PENANAI2OerLQ9k3
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.423Please respect copyright.PENANAZItxChBrhL
She walked towards them.423Please respect copyright.PENANAP5ZjYKdjEh
"Katerina?" Elijah questioned, seeing her.423Please respect copyright.PENANAs13odscTND
"I need your help," she told him.423Please respect copyright.PENANAcmJ8VtBKai
"This isn't the time or place, but we'll discuss this later."423Please respect copyright.PENANAbwy4Bd5Rtb
"What happened?" she questioned.423Please respect copyright.PENANAuNN9IM2x9a
"Someone sent a suicide bomber out here," Hayley informed her.423Please respect copyright.PENANA21USIgKV1N
"Why would someone want to kill werewolves?"423Please respect copyright.PENANAJuAiMbaP99
"I don't think they planned it like this. Whoever it was, has to be targeting me and my unborn child."423Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ1034zoTB
"You're pregnant?"423Please respect copyright.PENANAPDFOj8Mbxu
"I guess you haven't heard. I'm carrying Klaus' "miracle" child, as the wolves call it."423Please respect copyright.PENANAZJv63BZixW
"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.423Please respect copyright.PENANA8jsJaRtRvt
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.423Please respect copyright.PENANAlAWN4hqxQt
Eve stood up and looked at her.423Please respect copyright.PENANAfVXeEoIm8Q
"Katherine; nice to see you again. I wish it was under better circumstances, though," she greeted.423Please respect copyright.PENANAEwln6VHMNl
"It's nice to see you, too. What can I do to help?"423Please respect copyright.PENANA6EXzbM1JRJ
"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."423Please respect copyright.PENANAx6t6EP7toH
"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."423Please respect copyright.PENANAaFhBSrpNlP
"We've been banished. We can't enter the French Quarter."423Please respect copyright.PENANAn0q4HCByms
"I'm sure the Originals will have something to say about that. Go make the cure. I'll do what I can."423Please respect copyright.PENANAXK0xkrnYVa
"Thanks, Katherine."423Please respect copyright.PENANAuTaru20HXX
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.423Please respect copyright.PENANAJcncJm5dQ9
"Don't be afraid. It was just an explosion. Everything will be okay. What's your name?"423Please respect copyright.PENANAy3tGckuKzz
"Sydney."423Please respect copyright.PENANAE1P7jOaNSQ
"William."423Please respect copyright.PENANABvN1u8tlkr
"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?"423Please respect copyright.PENANAhjLgQlUFpm
"What?" they asked.423Please respect copyright.PENANA8qsOki8fNu
"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."423Please respect copyright.PENANAHPlaki6j4D
The children listened to her and then Sydney had to ask, "Where's your ma'ma?"423Please respect copyright.PENANAXVmHwS7jwB
"She's one of the stars now."423Please respect copyright.PENANAQZF2BxlALD
Katherine gave them a smile and then went to comfort and tend to others.423Please respect copyright.PENANAj4Jxm8UVox
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.423Please respect copyright.PENANAK65Zu8y1ig
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.423Please respect copyright.PENANAJKcbYZckJV
"Get them out of here. I need to help her," he told Hayley.423Please respect copyright.PENANAUlr5b6UYjs
She knew who he was referring to.423Please respect copyright.PENANAXGZwcjx7yP
"I'll meet you at the church."423Please respect copyright.PENANAiTVqkwMENB
Elijah left the wolves to find the love of his life, though she was his ex.423Please respect copyright.PENANAK6Damz0dpS
"Katerina!" he yelled, as he raced towards where she lay.423Please respect copyright.PENANAuMer0jF6WK
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.423Please respect copyright.PENANAF29VUW0Alr
He gently pulled her into his arms and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.423Please respect copyright.PENANA0DuPK9rM63
"Stay with me, Katerina. I'm right here. I"ll protect you. Just stay with me," he said, not wanting to lose her.423Please respect copyright.PENANAdeOYUd5vSA
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.423Please respect copyright.PENANASkrLwcdWDT
She smiled and slowly sat up in bed.423Please respect copyright.PENANAQxy9fpDZJx
"You saved me. Thanks."423Please respect copyright.PENANAxafzLaGwMl
"Always and forever, Katerina," he replied with a smile.423Please respect copyright.PENANArNFFdQK37i
She smiled back.423Please respect copyright.PENANAXiQxsoXECe
A moment later, they were kissing.
