*Ashes To Ashes*
You and I
We’re like fireworks and symphonies
Exploding in the sky
With you
I’m alive
Like all the missing pieces of my heart
They finally collide
So stop time right here in the moonlight
‘Cause I don’t ever wanna close my eyes
Without you
I feel broke
Like I’m half of a whole
Without you
I’ve got no hand to hold
Without you
I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you
I’m just a sad song
I’m just a sad song

It was a dismal night in New Orleans, as Klaus took a walk through the French Quarter. His siblings, apart from Freya, had given up on him. They wanted to leave him to his own demise, which he didn’t like. He knew he’d brought this upon himself, though. He was the one that had wanted his siblings to hate him so that he’d take down Aunt Dahlia by himself. That’s what he’d wanted. Now, he was afraid that he’d caused his family to fall apart for good this time around.
An hour later, he stopped in his tracks, having ventured into the woods instead of being his old self and killing random people. He stopped walking, smelling Katerina. It wasn’t just her, though. From the mixed smells, he knew that she was human again and injured. He knew she was supposed to be dead as of nearly two years ago, but it didn’t make him surprised at her being alive. She was Katerina. He’d known her for 544 years enough to know that she always managed to survive. Apparently, even dying of old age couldn’t keep her dead for long. Not that he wanted to see her dead anymore. When Damon had called him to tell him that Katerina was dying, he didn’t like that she was dying. He’d wanted to find a way to save her from that. He knew that even he couldn’t stop it, though. Despite the past, he’d never wish what had happened to Katerina to happen to his greatest enemy. He had a bad way of showing it, but he had at least some part of care for her. There was a reason that he had never killed her. He’d had plenty chances, but when it came down to it, he didn’t want to kill her. He just wanted to continue the cat and mouse game they’d played since 1492.
With you, I fall
It’s like I’m leaving all my past and silhouettes up on the wall
With you, I’m a beautiful mess
It’s like we’re standing hand in hand with all our fears up on the edge
So stop time right here in the moonlight
‘Cause I don’t ever wanna close my eyes
Without you
I feel broke
Like I’m half of a whole
Without you
I’ve got no hand to hold
Without you
I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you
I’m just a sad song

When he followed her scent trail, it didn’t take long for him to find her. She was in the heart of the woods on her back, an ascendant not far from her. He knew about prison worlds, so he knew what an ascendant looked like. That gave him the answer of how she was alive, exactly. He hadn’t known how she was alive until now. Because of her being injured and because of knowing that there were two prison worlds, he knew that she had to have had to deal with Kai. That made him angry, but he contained it. Kai wasn’t here right now for him to rip his head off, so Klaus couldn’t do much about it.
You’re the perfect melody
The only harmony I wanna hear
You’re my favorite part of me
With you standing next to me
I’ve got nothing to fear
Without you
I feel broke
Like I’m half of a whole
Without you
I’ve got no hand to hold
Without you
I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you
I’m just a sad song

He blurred over and knelt at her side. He put the ascendant in his pocket and pulled the arrow out of her lower stomach. Then he looked down at her, listening. That’s when he didn’t hear anything from her, so he tried to revive her.
Twenty minutes later, he was able to revive her. Then he gently picked her up in his arms, as he got to his feet. Then he blurred to the compound to get Freya to heal her, knowing that she couldn’t digest vampire blood when she’d been alive.
Without you
I feel broke
Like I’m half of a whole
Without you
I’ve got no hand to hold
Without you
I feel torn
Like a sail in a storm
Without you
I’m just a sad song
I’m just a sad song

Later that night, Freya had healed her and Klaus had layed her down in his bed. So, when she woke up, that’s where she was.
“Klaus?” she inquired, seeing that she was in his bed, considering he was seated on her bedside, obviously having been waiting for her to wake up.
“Welcome back, luv,” he replied with a smile.
“I assume you found me, so thanks,” she replied.
“I did. You’re welcome, luv. And welcome to New Orleans. You might as well stay a while. Besides, I hate to admit when I need help, but I do need a little help. The past is in the past, so I think I can trust you.”
She sat up in bed and looked at him.
“Don’t worry. We’re on the same page, so yes. You can trust me,” she informed him.
“Good. My siblings, apart from Freya, our eldest sister, have given up on me, so they’re leaving. I need help raising my child. Maybe you could give some pointers,” he informed her.
“I can do more than that. I may have never been able to raise Nadia since she was torn from my arms at birth, but we were reunited for a little while before I died and before she died of Tyler’s bite. I could’ve saved her, but she just wanted me to be happy and not have to give anything up to save her, so I respected her dying wish. So, I know a little bit. Probably more than you do. And I’m sorry about Elijah and Rebekah. Family should stick together.”
After their conversation, they gave a smile and, a moment later, they began to make out. So, they soon found their love story at last.
