It was a nebulous night in an alley, as she stood not far from the vampiress after finding her after she’d grazed the vampire’s heart that day, thinking she was the enemy.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Gj6C71op
“Who are you?” Katherine asked her.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx64qywrl8
“My name is Nadia Petrova and you are my mother,” she said.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkBIiCqLmb
Katherine looked at her silently, shocked that somehow, fate had intervened and brought her daughter back to her.

It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the driver’s seat, injured after the car crashing into a street light pole. She’d been trying to get away from Mystic Falls so that Silas couldn’t get to her, but had managed to crash a car that she’d stolen from a road.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrc3auX3BV

Meanwhile, Elijah Mikaelson had just arrived back in town to check up on his Katerina. He’d ignored several of her calls this summer and recently, not wanting to speak to her or see her. She hadn’t left any messages, but now that she hadn’t been answering her phone when he called back, he was worried and had the feeling that something had or was about to happen. If something ever happened to her after he’d left her to fend for herself, he’d never forgive himself. She was his world and he loved her for who she was, no matter what. If she died while he was in New Orleans, he didn’t know what pieces of him would still be intact, if any would be left. It would shatter him into a million pieces if she were dead. Despite everything she’d done, he loved her. He loved both the good and bad parts of her, just as she did with him.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nb47pL0kB

Half an hour later, once on a desolate street, he saw a wrecked car that had crashed into a street light pole. He saw that there was still someone inside, but not moving. Due to smelling the mixed scents of human, blood, and Katerina, he knew who it was.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvqS38T54t
No, he thought to himself.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZzcKxqaZP
He vamp-sped to the driver’s side and forced the crinkled, dented, and jammed door open. He assessed her condition with his eyes and saw that there was blood on either side of her head, some scrapes and scratches, and her lower stomach was bleeding from a shard of glass protruding from it. He pulled the shard of glass out and tossed it on the floorboard, before gently resting his hands on either side of her head.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGPdfvMHaY
“Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her, not knowing how she was human or if she could digest vampire blood.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrgK6Y15zW
Hearing a familiar voice through the darkness that surrounded her, she fought against the darkness and when she woke up a few minutes later, she was met with Elijah’s worried face.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbw46dDGhb
“Elijah?” she questioned weakly, very weak from blood loss.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt701tvpxZ
“I came back to check on you, since you weren’t answering my calls back. I’m glad I did. Can you digest vampire blood?” he replied.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgcUbjJv5n
“I don’t know. Elena shoved the cure down my throat shortly after you left me, since I was upset and took it out on her and tried to kill her.”618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lmQIEzt8A
He wasn’t happy that she’d tried to kill Elena nor was he happy that Elena had shoved the cure down her throat, but he didn’t show it.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS8gLGRc9m
As he gently slid an arm under her legs and his other under her, she began to go under.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h0Jb4F1hU
“You’re going to be okay, Katerina. Just stay with me. I’ll protect you, but you have to fight for me,” was the last thing she heard, before she plummeted back into the darkness.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpSjT4EuNb
Elijah gently pulled her out of the wreckage and picked her gently up in his arms, before blurring towards the Mystic Falls hospital.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H5hkB0dWZ

After pacing in the waiting room for a few hours, a doctor finally came in to tell him that the surgery went great and she was in a recovery room, but she had a concussion, so it could be a day or so before she woke up. He thanked her and went to her room to stay with her. He knew Katerina. She was a fighter. It wouldn’t take too long for her to wake up. He figured anyway. He could only hope that the odds were in their favor.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiAxprdjbY

The next afternoon, when she woke up, he gave a smile, knowing that she’d be okay. He could only hope, anyway. The cure had been shoved down her throat. Since it had never been taken before, they didn’t know if there were any side effects to it.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlJu0XHiD6
She smiled back.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5PEMS4Q0X
“You saved my life. Thank you.”618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPydILQ6Hn
“I will always save you, Katerina, no matter what,” he replied.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZPqRacO37
A moment later, they kissed.

It was a beautiful day at the Mikaelson mansion, as she lay in bed. She’d had a heart attack last night and now she was on bed rest until the very end, Nadia at her side. Nadia wanted her to live instead of letting herself die, but she had just found her weeks ago. She didn’t want to do that to her. She didn’t want to lose her, so she was choosing death.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyUzMfU7GP
After hours had passed, Elijah came to her bedside with a way to save her. He had a witch in New Orleans doing a spell that would reverse the dying of old age at a rapid pace side effect of the cure.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNYisRbSkF
So, after the spell had been finished, she was a healthy human again.

It was a dismal night at the Mikaelson mansion, as Katherine went downstairs for a drink, Nadia in the parlor.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt9DLmalzw
Once she’d cleared the stairs, she stopped, a hand on the left side of her chest, pain having travelled up her arm and all the way to her chest. It was like she couldn’t breathe. Then everything went black and she collapsed.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ44nfSfUtK
When Nadia heard a noise, she went to investigate and found her on the floor.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs49T4O0fcU
When she knelt by her, she realized that she’d had a heart attack. So, after getting her to the hospital, she told Elijah on the phone, who then said he’d be there as soon as he could.

It was a nebulous night, as Katherine closed her eyes, ready to end her suffering of dying of old age, not wanting to go through all of that. She’d been told by an expert on vampires that she can’t be fixed. She was aging and it couldn’t be helped. She then stepped off.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2qBjEqhvS
As she fell to the ground below, she hoped Nadia and Elijah would forgive her.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzNbFLZXcA
When she felt like someone had caught her, she opened her eyes to see Elijah.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7XeFu7dVg
He set her on her feet.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63jFgAV8pA
“What are you doing, Katerina?” he asked of her.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRxMdbcmBY
She knew he met to be asking why she would be committing suicide, when he was here for her.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWopadW1vs
“Because I’m dying of old age and it can’t be stopped. I went to an expert. I don’t want the pain of dying of old age,” she explained.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjErDN2UGQ
“I promise you, Katerina, we will find a way. We always do,” he replied.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoN7twAwIl
“Then save me,” she said.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkxQe9xZkT
“You know I will,” he replied.

After Nadia died of Tyler’s bite at the Mikaelson mansion because she didn’t want Katherine to have to sacrifice anything for Klaus to cure her, all Katherine could do now was to sit by the bed on the floor and cry. Elijah was there, but all he could do was hug her in comfort. There were no words to say.
