Shortly after, Rebekah had left. She was more than happy to be a vampire again, but she wasn’t 500 years old anymore. She was a new born. Also, a year ago, she had lost her daughter forever. She hated herself for not asking for the cure, because she couldn’t show her New Orleans. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOneykjYaUM

Half an hour later, she stood in front of the compound and knocked. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYsviRpxsh
A moment later, Elijah Mikaelson opened the door. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7yZnTHsnD
“Katerina?” he questioned her. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuKlghrmgI
“Elijah. It’s been a while. May I come in?”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VueTZP4oq
“Most certainly, but what are you doing here? This isn’t the best of times.” 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnTXaHhGm4
She walked inside and he closed the door. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BUFuelCbz
She looked at him. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcvH9aW0d9
“I came to win you back, but I also came to help you. I heard what happened and I want to help.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0gdaxyHXQ
“Very well then; you may stay, but be civil. Niklaus and Hayley aren’t in the best place right now. Hayley’s killing vampires every night and my brother’s in a dark place right now.” 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKpbLB9aqY
“I promise I’ll behave myself.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhKYzkivC4
She headed upstairs to go find a guest bedroom to stay in.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFstVKhZ3Tw
Elijah watched her go.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIIbU2uSrv

The next day, she left the house to explore New Orleans on her own, while Elijah dealt with his brother and Hayley. He had filled her in on everything and she couldn’t help but sympathize with Klaus and Hayley. No wonder they were out of character. They just lost their daughter. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JRxbTjKHL

That night, on her way back, she was ambushed. She tried to overpower them, but she was a new vampire now. She didn’t stand a chance, no matter how much she fought. Then everything went black for her. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmzd8BSbVF

When she woke up, it was daylight and her Daylight ring was on the table beside the big window. She was tied to a chair with vervain ropes, which made her skin burn, smoke coming from her burnt skin. It hurt like hell, but she told herself that even though she was a young vampire again, she was still Katherine Pierce. Whatever those vampires wanted, they’d never get. She wasn’t one to give information out freely unless she felt generous or they were friends or someone she loved; like Elijah or Caroline. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k0Fid4fQ3
A guy walked into the room. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJa3cGdKnA
“Good morning. I’m Marcel. I just want to know who you are and why you’ve suddenly come to New Orleans.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHvUaaOhXJ
“I’m not telling you anything. Marcel, so you might want to let me go.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtVn0ulSBz
“What’s your name?” he inquired. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYlWms0jXc
“Go to hell. You want info? Ask the Originals and leave me out of it.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepHTCre3Mg
“No can do.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstLk9JFiCN
She screamed in excruciating pain, when vervain was thrown on her. She growled with hatred towards Marcel. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjVyLf15V9

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSVNIX8Ahk
Several hours later, the vamps by the door were killed with their hearts ripped out of their chests and Marcel saw Elijah. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfF8MBMbZm
“You have something of mine. I need her back. Leave now and no harm will come to you.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWPeBMjFVX
“Never.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzErNZCpDhv
“Very well then.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIZ3h5fbQP
At vamp speed, Marcel was temporarily killed, when Elijah snapped his neck. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPpVKidNOz
A moment later, the Original was in front of Katerina who had burnt skin all over, head down, eyes closed, and smoke still coming from the ropes. Wounds were all over her and she looked beyond weak and was very pale. Ignoring the pain from the ropes, he snapped them off her wrists, legs, and middle. He then gently put her Daylight ring back on her finger and gently picked her up in his arms, before vanishing. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR9rOs5mVR

Once in his room, he gently layed her down on his bed. He then sat on her bedside and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to save and heal her. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HXmE1FZcB
After a few minutes, her wounds and his wrist healed once he took it away. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSrdLZe4gn
He put his hand in hers and rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qtP91Crp6
“I’m so sorry, Katerina. Forgive me. I should have been looking out for you.” 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXO2LVGufU
He looked down at her and waited for her to come to. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P3bZQjwM4
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXJv0mTFKz
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWL48z4u5r
When she came to, she was on Elijah’s bed with him seated on her bedside, hand in hers, which made her realize that he had saved her from Marcel’s torture. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2Z15QKdd2
“Thank you,” she said, looking up at him. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICGMUbgaG5
“You’re welcome, Katerina. Forgive me. I should’ve made sure you weren’t in danger.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn92GofeDP
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault. I was the one spending a whole day in New Orleans. So where’s Hayley? I did say I wanted to help.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3pahgyUtd
“She’s out on a killing spree again.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVoDxAyTW4
“I’m going to go find her and help her. Don’t worry; I’ll be careful.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12L9cL3eiT
She got to her feet as did he and he helped her to her feet. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv46rjBH2L9
“Don’t be gone too long,” he said. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39dFykGKOo
“I promise I’ll be back by sunrise if not sooner.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGHkPWixGj
She kissed him on the cheek, before leaving. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfjFylUhfO

Half an hour later, she found the new hybrid. Bodies of vampires surrounded her. She reminded the vampiress of Elena when her humanity had been off. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMRwWhZMDO
She came into view and Hayley gave a growl. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYJean2iZH
“Katherine.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnMvtuzFP1
“Before you do anything you’ll regret, I came to help you both. I heard. I know how it feels to get your daughter taken from you one way or another, but you don’t need to go on a feast, killing vampires because of it. Even if they do deserve it. In 1490, Nadia was torn from my arms by my father just moments after she was born for being Illegitimate. I never saw her again until a year ago. Then she was taken from me for the last time when Tyler bit her. I felt so helpless, watching Nadia die, but I was scared of Klaus; too scared to ask him for the cure.” 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzgLJSNl01
Hayley realized she was telling the truth. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WLoW1j6ir
“You think you can help me?”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBqHPKquNh
“Both of you, yes. The pain never goes away, but there are less violent ways to get it out of your system.” 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG5SrICrZa
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlEb4Tc1L2
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3lNuoc6sP
Half an hour later, they had arrived back at the compound. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjiZhxMzU8
Hayley went to her room, while Kat located Klaus.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyzgFY1S9B
Kat soon found Klaus in his room painting. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2851EoMIa5
“Klaus?” she called to him, as she walked into the room. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3mEpDqEdv
“Katerina. What an unpleasant surprise,” he said, looking at her, as she walked in. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXugTQZnGwe
“I came to help you,” she informed him. “I know how much you hate me, Klaus, but I want to help you. I heard what happened. Let me help you. Please.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0hU3IqraZ
“Why would I let you help me? You are the bane of my existence.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZOwA1veIb
“Because you need my help; I know you don’t want to admit that you need help or that you’re hurt one way or another, but I know what you’re going through. I once had a daughter too, but you never knew it because I didn’t want anyone to know about her, since it was such a painful time. She was torn from my arms just moments before I was born, because she was illegitimate. My father took her from my arms and I never got to see her. I don’t want that same thing to happen to anyone else. I’m sorry that you had to send her away with Rebekah. It’s painful losing your own child.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg8BfyvK4y
“You had a daughter?” he questioned her. 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZifVQuaZk
“Yes. Nadia Petrova back in 1490 in Bulgaria before I even met you and Elijah. She found me a year ago, though. We rekindled our mother-daughter relationship, but Tyler bit her and I was too scared of what your answer would be to ask you to cure her. I had to watch her die, because I was too afraid of what you would do.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SC7FhnLQJ
“I’m sorry for your loss. You’ve suffered enough throughout the centuries.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV5LNAeYZ7
“Yes. Now you know what it’s like to lose your daughter, though I would never wish it upon anyone; not even you yourself.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5pF5Zlj09
“Tell me then, Katerina. How do you cope with it? Live with it?”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBAXhP6xkz
“By taking one step at a time; it gets better as time goes on.”603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkeDpiuhI

Later that night, Kat joined Elijah in their room. By now, they had decided to finally get back together, no matter what Klaus would say. So, Kat had succeeded in winning him back in the end. She was happy now, because of it. So, right now, they were on his bed having the time of their lives. Something they hadn’t had in centuries.
