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.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER23ee1h0Q
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.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP3TRQJLaN
She walked towards them.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl97nClcF4D
"Katerina?" Elijah questioned, seeing her.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0p84oR1Pg
"I need your help," she told him.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsL92J12jE
"This isn't the time or place, but we'll discuss this later."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPvETDqGrd
"What happened?" she questioned.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2WQTZUmDH
"Someone sent a suicide bomber out here," Hayley informed her.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Iwh3cmqF
"Why would someone want to kill werewolves?"602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdJL9luvob
"I don't think they planned it like this. Whoever it was, has to be targeting me and my unborn child."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP2EOaX26i
"You're pregnant?"602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zSuSjCxrn
"I guess you haven't heard. I'm carrying Klaus' "miracle" child, as the wolves call it."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxsCVDcHcI
"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.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRTQXHL4wE
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.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyoq0fCcjE
Eve stood up and looked at her.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqV3H3jk0x
"Katherine; nice to see you again. I wish it was under better circumstances, though," she greeted.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM8kmZhZKP
"It's nice to see you, too. What can I do to help?"602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtMDUvylfw
"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."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaxCUUrKqv
"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."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrw4hYXVv7
"We've been banished. We can't enter the French Quarter."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVdUUDA4be
"I'm sure the Originals will have something to say about that. Go make the cure. I'll do what I can."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeiKIFcVq9
"Thanks, Katherine."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Dr0FOx4D
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.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA3aedB9xf
"Don't be afraid. It was just an explosion. Everything will be okay. What's your name?"602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v2WIlpUbI
"Sydney."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw2QqlN9b0
"William."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4aUOhNWfU
"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?"602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJaAkO2PgZ
"What?" they asked.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKBHGpxl7H
"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."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG9TJXSkjy
The children listened to her and then Sydney had to ask, "Where's your ma'ma?"602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKYrxFWlup
"She's one of the stars now."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUTkVvxfmT
Katherine gave them a smile and then went to comfort and tend to others.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEImteCghYh
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.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HGqg8RCZb
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.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2jxiltgR5
"Get them out of here. I need to help her," he told Hayley.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXpKmyy9AX
She knew who he was referring to.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFYokHhELY
"I'll meet you at the church."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoR8TnzwU8
Elijah left the wolves to find the love of his life, though she was his ex.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9FzEccOBL
"Katerina!" he yelled, as he raced towards where she lay.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHag9c52T1q
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.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnMLbxbACq
He gently pulled her into his arms and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolN1Z98Zyg
"Stay with me, Katerina. I'm right here. I"ll protect you. Just stay with me," he said, not wanting to lose her.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8nNCglcCn
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.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ILBoelpm
She smiled and slowly sat up in bed.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdRkSL4TgY
"You saved me. Thanks."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGSvetSZay
"Always and forever, Katerina," he replied with a smile.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhJlV9naXx
She smiled back.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI08qrBLcM
A moment later, they were kissing.
