It was a dark night in New Orleans, as Katherine Pierce, now human, walked, her destination being the compound.
Suddenly, she heard a commotion coming from a small building. But then, a few minutes later, it ended. She was curious though, so she walked towards it and cautiously walked inside.
When she walked in, she saw the scene. There were bodies all over the floor, clearly dead vampires. And in the midst, there was Klaus on his side, chains on his wrist and attached to two of the opposite walls, Klaus on his right side.
"Klaus?" she called softly, as she headed towards him, walking around the bodies of vampires, swallowing her fear of him.
She knelt down beside him and gently rolled him onto his back. She then rested a gentle hand on the left side of his face.
"Klaus, it's me. Can you hear me?" she called gently.
Not getting a reply, she scanned him for anything that might be wrong with him. And when she did, she saw that he had been tortured and that was why he was chained. She also saw a syringe in his left side filled with what looked to be vervain possibly mixed with something else. She then took the syringe out of him and set it on the floor.
Once she had drugged him out of there and laid him gently down by a steam, she rested a gentle hand on the left side of his face.
"If you can hear me, you have to wake up," she said, trying to encourage him to awaken.
As he laid there, he dimly heard someone calling to him, but couldn't pull out of the never ending darkness. And for some odd reason, all he could think about was Katerina whom loved being known as Katherine these days. Why he kept thinking about her, he didn't know. She was the bane of his existence. He shouldn't be thinking about her. He should be thinking about what he'd do to Marcel if he ever pulled out of the darkness.
After a while of him not awakening, she started to worry that if he woke up, it would be quite a while. So, she decided to check up on him, instead of just watching him, to make sure that he was okay. He was healed, but he wasn't awake. He should've awakened by now. She knew that vervain didn't cause hybrids the same thing that it caused vampires. So, she figured that what had been mixed in with the vervain was the cause of his condition, whatever it was. And after looking him over, she realized that he was pale and his breathing was abnormal. That's when she realized that he had been injected with who knew how much Wolf's Bane.
"Klaus, don't you dare die on me. I'll be back as soon as I can. I promise," she said, before going through the woods to fetch the cure for wolfsbane. She wasn't going to lose him. Even though he had been a monster in the past, he wasn't like that anymore and she knew it. She wished she didn't have to leave him to get the cure, but she had to. She just hoped he stayed alive long enough for her to cure him.
When she returned, she knelt down beside him and forced the cure for wolfsbane down his throat, since he was still out cold. She then waited for him to wake up, knowing he'd live.
