It was a dismal night, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bCQTf0g49
“What do you want?” he said, his tone saying he didn’t want to talk to her.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONXDJ7KV4T
“To tell you that you’re right. I spent so much time running and lying just to survive that I don’t—I’m starting to believe my own lies. I don’t even remember who I was when we first met. And I don’t want to find out.” She took a black box out of her purse.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Jfo0Coo8
“You have the cure,” he stated.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOfSucqvVt
“Yes, and I can shove this down Klaus’ throat and try to kill him, but even if I manage to do it, I’d lose you. And I don’t want that to happen.” She put the box in his hand. “I want you to trust me just like I’m trusting you. You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlxghv5Fo7
He watched, as she walked away, before looking down at the cure in his hand.

It was a nebulous night at the Mikaelson place, as Elijah stood in front of her.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM6Ai0LH6H
“Please, Elijah. It’s our turn,” she pleaded, Elijah having told her that he was leaving town to go follow Klaus to New Orleans.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj27iYd7dL2
He kissed her on the forehead.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zJqTHfZcV
“Goodbye, Katerina.”693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC8t7DD33t
As he walked away, she stood there with a shattered, broken heart.

It was a nebulous night, as a human Katherine sat in the driver’s seat in the wrecked car, injured. She’d been driving to wherever to keep distance between her and Damon. He’d tried having her go back to the boarding house to hand her over to Silas. She’d tried to run though and had rammed the car into a streetlight pole, wrecking the car and injuring herself.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqQBeUBzzC
As she sat there, injured, she knew she was going to die if she didn’t get to the hospital, but she couldn’t go anywhere. Her human body didn’t want to go anywhere. Another reason was because she was too injured with blurred vision, as well as being stuck and in a lot of pain. She was stuck with what felt like a part of the car from the floorboard on her foot. It also felt like she had a sprained or fractured leg. She could feel her injured side, thigh, and possible dislocated shoulder. Plus she could feel blood on either side of her head and it felt as if she was losing a lot of blood.

Elijah Mikaelson was driving through Mystic Falls, looking for Katerina. He’d heard from Caroline what had happened so he was staying in town to keep her safe. That was his plan. He would protect her with his life.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGie2ew41w
When he saw the wrecked car and Katerina, he pulled over and once he got out, blurred to the wrecked car. When he had the door forced open, he could see that she was injured. There was blood on either side of her head, a shard of glass protruding from her side and in her thigh, and her thigh had an opened artery. It also looked like her shoulder was dislocated and her leg was possibly dislocated too.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u0y8l8tyT
He rested a gentle hand on the right side of her head.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBiRFlxn7k
“Katerina. Can you hear me, Katerina?” he called to her.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfGzXXb5V6
After a moment of nothing, he took his hand away and once her leg was free and shards of glass were out, he gently picked her up in his arms and blurred to his SUV and opened the passenger’s door. He then gently sat her in the seat and closed the door, before getting back in and driving towards the hospital to save her life. He didn’t dare feed her vampire blood, not knowing if she could digest it.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtdeBtw5GN

Half an hour later, she was rushed down the hospital hallway, as Elijah watched silently. He could only hope that she would live. He didn’t want him saying goodbye to her to be the last memory he had of her. It couldn’t end like this.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcAHkit6a8

Five hours later, after she survived surgery, he walked into her room and sat on her bedside, a hand on the left side of her face, waiting for her to come to.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7afdj3DgE
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaQoKmF21D
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHnIHi97zR
An hour later, she woke up to see Elijah seated on her bedside with his hand on the side of her face, his other hand on top of her right one. That let her know that he’d saved her and she was relieved about that, though he’d left six months ago.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxoi5IVDa5
She smiled.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSF0BGfpRM
“You came back.”693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPG5PeuhMR
He smiled.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7tRqWNcGx
“Of course I came back for you, Katerina. I’d do anything for you, no matter what.”693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OA5rETqAe
“Well, thanks for saving my life. Are you staying?” she questioned, sitting up in bed.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ9cXy6goH
“I am. I’m here to protect you, no matter what happens from this moment on,” he informed her.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSwA3pqmph
She smiled at that and he smiled back.
