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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm9F2ksnkn
“Who are you?” Katherine asked her.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZbdT1mmPh
“My name is Nadia Petrova and you are my mother,” she said.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWEFEjf9TC
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ayZoAZq7c

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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5HT32o6oK

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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsGXl0SOEQ
No, he thought to himself.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TrIlgbgbQ
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumOD0KfS0P
“Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her, not knowing how she was human or if she could digest vampire blood.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UHHsXVaSs
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPimRLgTAeh
“Elijah?” she questioned weakly, very weak from blood loss.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBsbabfxZk
“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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73yHTYu9qW
“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.”619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kgg2odbXS
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkASxgVmkgR
As he gently slid an arm under her legs and his other under her, she began to go under.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPjOmueOL6
“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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J9Gh2fkVb
Elijah gently pulled her out of the wreckage and picked her gently up in his arms, before blurring towards the Mystic Falls hospital.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnSakTWjoq

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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlDUpZoLeN

619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWqzAkYCvX
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YgNgp1A5n
She smiled back.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWHeeA2jQ0
“You saved my life. Thank you.”619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIDeADmNJT
“I will always save you, Katerina, no matter what,” he replied.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAFNbxXaj2
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0XgACsnV1
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9BnV9yUxK
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RIk0yQ3G1
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO2u2OeS9F
When Nadia heard a noise, she went to investigate and found her on the floor.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAhqPWeq5q
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJOXjYZS63
As she fell to the ground below, she hoped Nadia and Elijah would forgive her.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1APTxRJhv
When she felt like someone had caught her, she opened her eyes to see Elijah.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwQJK09O32
He set her on her feet.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj8kfoYVBw
“What are you doing, Katerina?” he asked of her.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH87JSgfn98
She knew he met to be asking why she would be committing suicide, when he was here for her.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLGe0BciCn
“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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzycv5CbP7
“I promise you, Katerina, we will find a way. We always do,” he replied.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeXLGn5KiH
“Then save me,” she said.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj3Ztr9jpP
“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.
