It was a dark night in New Orleans, as a very human Katherine Pierce walked towards the compound, not knowing what she’d be walking in on. She had just come from a prison world, so she looked like crap and wasn’t in the best shape. All she knew was that she needed Elijah and she had heard that he needed her.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxJuZImI3U
She stopped not far from the only bar in town, sensing a presence. She turned around, only to see a lone and hungry vampire.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0waQReuNRI
He grabbed her before she could do or say anything, sinking his fangs into the side of her neck. She was human, so she couldn’t fight, no matter how much she wanted to. She was too weak to do so, so all she could do was hope for Elijah to rescue her before it was too late.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIJO2QiUnE

Elijah finished his shot glass of Bourbon a few minutes later and left the bar. And as soon as he stepped out, he smelled blood and saw a vampire drop a girl to the ground who he would know anywhere. He didn’t know how she had become a human, but he had to save her, no matter what.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BSyXpW6M6
Before the male vampire could leave the scene, Elijah ripped his heart out of his chest and dropped it next to his body.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC6BSpxR8A
A moment later, Elijah was instantly knelt at her side. He then gently pulled her into his arms and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to save her.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCeMeLGaRe
“Come on, Katerina; Stay with me,” he begged. I won’t lose you. I can’t. Not like this, he thought, as he forced his blood down her throat and looked down at her pale face. Then, as he scanned the rest of her, he realized that she had been hurt before she had been attacked by that vampire.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWLGDSmhqS
A few minutes later, after her wounds had healed, he took his wrist away which instantly healed. He then gently put her arm around his shoulders and got to his feet with her in his arms, crook of arm supporting her head, right arm under her legs.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuG6c9UaOu
A moment later, he vanished from the scene with her, heading across the river where Marcel and his vampires had lived at for a while before Klaus had given the city back to Marcel. He was too angry at Klaus to enter the compound or see Klaus ever again, so he was heading across the river. Besides, if Klaus saw her, he’d most likely kill her as much as he hated her. Being across the river was the safest places from Klaus that she could be.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xMyzIVoc3

An hour later, he had layed her gently down on the couch and was now seated on the couch at her side, hoping she would be okay. She had to be okay or he would never forgive himself for leaving her and never looking back and checking on her. No matter what, she was still his Katerina he would always love and care about. He needed her to wake up. They needed each other now more than ever before; him to save her; her to help him through his grief and despair.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0hfdMUYex
He rested his right hand on top of her left one, making circles with his thumb. He then rested his free hand on her forehead and looked silently down at her.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwXWZXw29b

Half an hour later, when she woke up, she realized that Elijah had saved her and that he still cared about her, if not loved her.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLdoJGePI8
She gave him a smile and he smiled back at her.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3bmWpvIaf
“Thanks,” she said to him.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaZlYefCqa
“You’re welcome. You worried me. I thought I lost you. What has happened to you, Katerina?”504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIE7bpasjb
She slowly sat up, still feeling weak, and he helped her. She then told him everything that had happened, starting the night of Elena’s graduation and ending tonight when she had come from the prison world.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh8Xfqey5u
After she had finished, it made him even more angry at Klaus for not informing him of her dying of old age six months ago. He also blamed himself for not checking on her to make sure she was okay.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2AeJyfveO
“I’m so sorry, Katerina. If I had known---,” he started.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHV6ciw4Ir
“I know. You wouldn’t done all you could to help and save me,” she replied, interrupting what he was going to say.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkm2cCwZpo
She smiled, letting him know that all was forgiven.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzyHaHsJr3
He smiled back, thankful that she had forgiven him.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYQmOHZzD4
They silently looked at each other, not knowing what else to say after six months of not seeing each other. Then, it was such a moment between them, they suddenly were kissing, not knowing who started it or why they were kissing. It didn’t matter though, because they were still in love after everything they had been through together.504Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgpRxKDMkt
