It was a dismal night, as Kat drove into New Orleans. After getting the cure shoved down her throat, turning her human, she’d hot-wired an abandoned car. Then she’d fled from Mystic Falls to New Orleans, seeking Klaus’ help. She needed protection. What better protection than her greatest enemy of all time? An Original hybrid that was feared by many. With his protection, she knew that she’d survive.
As she drove the route to the compound, she saw someone in the road. Knowing it had to be a vampire, she swerved to avoid hitting him. By doing so, she crashed the car into a streetlight pole, which injured her in the process.
As she sat in the wrecked car, she knew that she was severely injured. She could feel the blood on either side of her head. Looking around to find out how bad it was, she saw that there was a shard of glass in her thigh and her lower stomach was bleeding heavily. Because of how she was feeling already, she knew that she was already losing a lot of blood.
Klaus was heading home from the bar, when he saw a vampire approaching a wrecked car. Smelling the familiar scent of Katerina, he stopped in his tracks. He could smell human and blood, which told him that she was human. He knew only one thing that could do that to anyone. He also knew that she’d loved being a vampire. She’d never be human on purpose. Despite the past, he decided to save her from getting killed from both the wreck and the vampire.
In a blur, he stood in front of the vampire, stopping him.
“Sorry, mate. This one is off limits. Now run along. Unless you fancy your heart on the ground.”
The vampire knew who he was, so he fled without argument, afraid of him, but also not wanting to die.
Klaus was instantly at the driver’s side. He forced the crinkled and jammed door open. Then he looked her over to look at her wounds. As he did, he knew she’d lost a lot of blood and still was. Apart from the shard of glass that had opened up her thigh artery, as well as her lower stomach heavily bleeding, he saw that she was pale with blood on either side of her head. He knew she was in need of immediate help.
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head, avoiding her wounds.
“I’m here, luv. You’re gonna be okay. Just stay with me.”
As her vision began to grow grey and dim, she saw a very familiar someone. Then she heard his familiar voice and felt him pull her into his arms.
After Klaus had pulled her gently into his arms and out of the wreckage, he suddenly found that they were now by a sign that told him where they were. Storybrooke. At the moment though, where they were was the least of his concerns. All that mattered was Katerina. She needed a hospital. Otherwise, he was afraid that she was going to die. She was out and pale from blood loss.
Once in town, he finally found the hospital.
Soon, she was rushed down the hall and into surgery.
After surgery, he went and sat on her bedside, waiting for her to wake up, looking down at her. He didn’t know why, but he didn’t want her to die human. He assumed it was because they were so much alike.
Katherine didn’t know how long she was out, but when she awoke, she saw that she was in a hospital bed, Klaus seated on her bedside. It was strange to her for her greatest enemy of 500 years to be seated on her bedside, as if he cared about her. She wasn’t afraid of him, though. The past was in the past now. They’d both moved on.
She looked at her former enemy.
“Welcome back, luv,” he greeted, a hand on top of hers. “Feeling better?”
“Thanks. I’m feeling much better,” she replied with a smile. “Why’d you save me, though?” she had to question him. She wanted to know why, because she knew that he wasn’t good at forgiveness, just like she wasn’t.
“Well, you don’t deserve to die, luv. Plus, I’ve put the past in the past. All is forgiven.”
She sat up in bed.
He gave a smile and she smiled back at him.
A moment later, someone stood at the entrance to the room and, when she spoke, they both looked at her.
“Sorry to interrupt, but I have to know who and what you two are. I’m in charge of Storybrooke. I’m the one that created it, after all.”
“You can call me Klaus, luv,” he told her. “And who may you be?”
“You can call me Regina,” she introduced herself.
“I’m Katherine, but Klaus likes to call me by my born name. I remember that name. You were the Evil Queen back in the Enchanted Forest. I used to be a vampire, so it’s not hard to believe in fairytales. Plus, where Klaus and I are from werewolves, witches, and many other things exist. I’m also a doppelganger. Klaus is a hybrid. Both wolf and vampire.”
“You’ve heard of me,” Regina commented. “Well, thanks for the cooperation.”
“Many people know about you. There’ve been fairytale stories for centuries. And you’re welcome,” Kat informed and replied.
“Well, welcome to Storybrooke. Enjoy your stay if you’re staying,” Regina replied, before walking off.
Klaus looked at Katerina, but before he could say anything, she beat him to it, saying, “Don’t worry. We can trust her. Even though she’s a fairytale character, she’s a lot like us. Trust me.”
“Very well then, luv,” he replied. If Katerina trusted her, he would too.
After she was discharged, they went to Granny’s Diner. She had something to eat and a shot glass of Bourbon, while he had just a shot glass of Bourbon.
As they sat at the booth, sitting side by side, the hybrid looked around at the residents in the diner. He didn’t know whether to trust them or not, but Katerina trusted them. And he trusted Katerina. After all, he’d never been one to trust others. Trust didn’t automatically come in his nature.
Suddenly, when she’d finished eating, they heard a commotion from outside. They both looked out of the window to see people running all over, scared of something. Then Katherine saw someone in a blue dress disappear around a corner.
The doppelganger got up from the booth, wanting to help.
“Where are you going, luv?” Klaus wanted to know.
“To go check things out. I’ll be fine,” she replied and assured him.
Klaus watched her go and then went back to his shot glass of Bourbon. It was Katerina. He wasn’t worried about her. He knew she could take care of herself. She’d been doing it for the last 500 years, after all. Besides, if she was in danger, he was there to protect and save her. Normally, that was his brother’s job, but Elijah was nowhere near Storybrooke. So, because of that, he had to watch out for Katerina, whether he wanted to or not.
Katherine entered what looked to be an old junkyard. When she did, she saw the girl in the blue dress. She seemed to be trying to stay in control of her magic. Seeing that and recognizing her, she realized who she was. That’s when she knew the kind of magic she had.
“Stay back,” Elsa ordered her.
“It’s okay. I’m staying right where I am. Elsa, right?”
“Yes. How do you know who I am?”
“I’m from the outside world. There are many fairytales written in books where I’m from. I know you have trouble controlling your magic sometimes. It’s okay. I may not have magic, but I know what it’s like to not know how to control your abilities. I’m human now, but I used to be something else. Something called a vampire. For centuries I was a horrible person and blood was what I had to survive on. It took me many years to learn how to control it. I had no one to teach me. I was alone. A lot like I’m sure you’re feeling right now. You scared some people here with that snowman, you know.”
“I don’t know how to undo any of this,” she informed her, knowing she wanted her to get rid of the snowman.
“Well, in my experience with supernatural things, your abilities are connected to your emotions. If you can find a way to calm down, then you can learn to control it and undo what you’ve done. I’m going to go now, but if you want my help, you just have to ask. I’m Katherine, by the way.”
The doppelganger left the junkyard as to not crowd her or make things worse. Then she headed back to the diner.
She entered the diner and sat by Klaus, once again.
“So, what was that all about, luv?” he asked.
She looked at him.
“Just a fairytale character that just arrived that doesn’t know how to control her magic. Elsa. She created a huge snowman. Nothing major unless it decides to hurt someone. It’s not our problem right now.”
“That, I can agree with you on, luv.”
He gave a smile and she smiled back.
Later, they got a room, which they realized they had to share a bed in. It was strange to them to be sleeping in the same bed, but they made it work.
After the snowman was taken care of and an electrical outage happened, it wasn’t long that they found out about the wall around the town that was made of ice and snow. When they did, they went to investigate and Kat saw movement in the cave-like area of the wall. Because she saw movement, she went to check it out and saw Elsa whom, once again, told Kat to stay back, not wanting to hurt anyone. Despite trying not to though, the ice completely trapped them both inside the cave.
When the cave in happened, the three of them left outside of the ice were immediately in front of it. Charming and Hook tried calling her, but Klaus was silent. He could hear a couple heartbeats, so he knew with hybrid hearing that they were both alive. He knew that Katerina had to get out of there soon, though. He didn’t think a human could last very long surrounded by ice.
When Charming and Hook couldn’t get her on the phone for a few, Hook used his hooked hand, trying to hack away at the ice wall. Charming grabbed his arm though, stopping him.
“Don’t. We’re not giving up,” Hook told Charming.
“We won’t. But this is not getting us anywhere,” Charming reasoned with him.
“Well, I’m open to suggestions.”
“Magic made this thing. I think we’re gonna need magic to unmake it. And I’m not gonna stop fighting until we do.”
Klaus looked at the two of them, finally saying something.
“The prince is right. In me and Katerina’s world, if you can’t find a solution, magic usually can undo what’s been done. Especially, when it was created by magic. You two can go on and figure out how to get the wall down. I’ll stay here and keep an ear out for Katerina and try and see if I can help the Queen find a way to get this wall down,” Klaus told them both.
Klaus watched them go and, once they’d gone, he turned back to the ice wall and used his phone to try and call Katerina. He could hear perfectly since he wasn’t human, but Katerina and Elsa were both human, so they couldn’t hear him on the other side of the ice wall. Normally, he’d just do things on his own, but he’d learned to be cautious with those with magic, because you never knew what they were capable of. Especially, when they didn’t know how to control their magic. Plus, after their short time here in Storybrooke, they’d quickly made friends with most of the Storybrooke residents.
Katherine woke up to her phone laying not far from her. She could see that Klaus was calling her, as she layed on the cold, ice floor.
Elsa got to her feet and when she saw the phone, she asked her, “What is that?”
“It’s called a cell phone. It allows me to talk to Klaus who’s on the other side of that wall.”
Kat waited to see if she would let her answer it or not, before she finally answered it.
“Katerina, are you okay?” he inquired of her.
“I’ve been better, but I’m alive, at least. You need to tell Hook and Charming that Elsa needs to find her sister, Anna. Anna’s usually the one that can calm her down and help her undo this mess,” she replied to him.
Elsa went over to where Katherine was and knelt by her and picked up the phone.
“Before I freeze this town and everyone in it,” Elsa said into the phone.
“I’ll do that, Katerina. Just try not to die,” he encouraged. Then he told Elsa, “We’ll try to find your sister, but we may not have any luck. Katerina and I are new to this town, too. We don’t know every single person here. We’ll try to find her, but if we can’t, you’ll have to do this no your own, luv. Sisters can do a lot of things for you. I’ve got two of them. But there are some things that they can’t do. I have my own abilities myself. Not magic, but I can do things most can’t. My siblings can’t always control me or stop me from doing things that I’ll regret later. And sometimes, when you need them the most, they’re not there to help you.”
“Well, you best hurry up and try,” Elsa replied to him.
While Klaus told Charming and Hook over the phone, though they answered through a walkie talkie, that they needed to find a way to get Anna before she lost complete control over her magic, Elsa and Kat talked, as Elsa stayed kneeling by Kat.
“Aren’t you cold? I’m freezing,” Kat said.
“It never bothered me,” Elsa informed her.
“Your sister, Anna. I can tell that you care about her a lot. I was an only child, but I always wanted to find my daughter that my father tore from my arms at birth for being born out of wedlock, since I lived in a time where no one was allowed to have a child born to someone that your parents never chose for you. I never could find her and it’s been 500 plus years. I know I’d do anything to get Nadia back. Whatever price it takes, I’d pay it. She’s all I have left of my old life. All my friends are dead and so is my family, if you don’t count the vampires that I created when I was still a vampire,” Kat informed her. Then she made a realization. “You can’t control your magic. Can you? What you said to Klaus wasn’t a threat. It was a warning.”
“What makes you think you know me?” Elsa wanted to know.
“Well, I don’t really know you. That’s true. But I had to learn on my own when I was a vampire, how to control my abilities and urges back then. I had no one to teach me until I ran into a couple vampires that later became some of my best friends. Pearl and Anna taught me what they knew and I learned things from them. I didn’t even know what an herb, vervain, was until Pearl showed it to me and told me what vervain did to vampires. Control was never my strong suit. But now, as a human, even though I don’t have anything I have to learn to control, I do have to learn how to be human. When you’re a vampire for centuries, you forget how it is to be human and what food tastes like. I’m actually kinda happy to be human, despite not being able to get myself out of certain situations. At least in this life, I have friends that didn’t have to become my friends through any deceiving, backstabbing, lying, or threatening. I actually have made real friends for once. I haven’t had any real friends since I was human before I turned into a vampire,” she answered Elsa.
Elsa finally decided to tell her what she needed Anna for.
“Anna helps me control it. So if I can find her, she can help me undo this. We can get rid of all this, the whole wall, when she’s here.”
“Well, I’m afraid she’s not. It’s just me right now and Klaus on the other side. Klaus is half vampire and half werewolf. My world calls him a hybrid, since he’s two in one species. He was born a werewolf, so he gets his temper mostly from that. It’s kinda strange that Klaus would actually want to save my life after everything, but I guess we’ve both moved on and forgiven each other for past things. We used to be quite the enemies. Now we’ve grown kinda close.”
Elsa saw how bad it was getting for Katherine, because of the coldness.
“I’m very sorry I trapped us here. I didn’t mean it,” Elsa apologized to her.
“I know,” Katherine replied.
Klaus could hear everything, as he told Charming and Hook over the phone.
“You two might wanna hurry it up. It’s pretty bad over here for Katerina,” Klaus said, and then hung up. Then he called Katerina. He knew it was bad from the sound of her heart with hybrid hearing and the sound of Elsa calling her name.
When Elsa saw Klaus come up on the phone, she figured out how to answer it by tapping answer call.
“Katerina?” Klaus called.
“It’s me. She’s not doing good,” Elsa informed him, although he already knew that, but didn’t know to what extent. “She’s freezing,” Elsa added.
About half an hour later, when Charming and Hook heard about how bad it was, they arrived back at the wall. Charming set Bo Peep’s crook against part of the wall and spoke close to where Klaus held his phone.
“Elsa, listen to me. I need you to find a way out.”
“I need Anna,” Elsa told Charming.
“Well, we don’t have her right now, but we have a way to find her. And we will. But right now, you’re gonna have to do this on your own.”
“I can’t control this.”
“I know how you feel. You’re trapped. It’s a battle you can’t win, but it’s exactly the kind of battle you have to fight. Or you’ll die.”
“No, I won’t. I’ll survive, but Katherine…”
“Survival isn’t enough. You have to live.”
“Where did you hear that?” Elsa asked, knowing that that’s exactly what her sister would say.
“You know where.”
“Anna? You knew her?”
“Yeah, I did. She helped me once, a long time ago, become who I am. She saved my life. And yours. And now, we need you to save Katherine’s. I didn’t know much about Anna, but she wouldn’t want you to live in an ice cave. Which is where you’ll be if you don’t melt that ice. Now do it.”
Elsa concentrated and soon was able to get the wall down enough for someone to rescue Katherine.
“I see her. Katherine,” Hook said.
Katherine still hadn’t woken up.
Klaus was instantly at her side in a blur after hanging up his phone. He grabbed her phone and then gently picked her up in his arms. Then he blurred out of the ice cave.
While Klaus left to take care of Katerina, Charming and Elsa spoke.
“You did it. You saved her,” Charming congratulated her.
“Yes. I did,” Elsa replied. “But I also endangered her. You owe me nothing.”
“I owe your sister everything. What I said was true. She helped me. And now I’m gonna help you. This isn’t over. We’re gonna find Anna.”
The light came back on, when Charming got home with Elsa, so Klaus whom had layed Katerina down on the couch, got a heater for her and turned it on. He then sat by her on the couch. Klaus hoped that she’d be okay, since he didn’t want anything to happen to her now days. Plus, he knew that Elijah would kill him if he let her die.
After Snow entered the apartment with baby Neal and she saw the extra company, in which Charming introduced her to, everyone in the room heard a heartbeat, which was a signal that Anna was still alive somewhere.
A while later, Kat came to to see that she was in the Charmings’ apartment and wasn’t dying anymore, with Klaus seated by her on the couch.
She gave a smile.
“Thanks for the save.”
He smiled back.
“You’re welcome, luv.”
Days later, after they’d found out about the Snow Queen and the Shattered Sight spell, which they found out about around the time that Anna showed up with Kristoff, Elsa tried taking the wall down but it didn’t work. So, they were all stuck in town. Knowing that the Shattered Spell was coming soon, Charming and Snow locked themselves in separate cells at the police station. Snow had given baby Neal to Katherine whom then asked Anna to take baby Neal, instead. Then Kristoff was handcuffed to a desk and Elsa and Anna stayed on guard inside the police station. While that went on, Robin tied himself to a tree and Regina locked herself inside her own vault. Everyone else did their own thing to try and keep from hurting each other. Katherine and Klaus had their own plan, however. They knew how horrible their dark sides were. If they came out, who knew what would happen to each other or other people. So, since there was currently a vacant vault, they used that. Katherine used chains to hook up in the vault.
“Are you sure this will work? We both know you can break through things if you’re angry enough,” Kat wanted to know, needing his opinion. She didn’t feel like getting killed by him.
“There’s a reason why there’s a spell on this vault, luv.”
Kat silently put the chains on him and hoped that they would hold him in place. Then she tied herself with rope which she’d attached to the other wall of the vault, away from Klaus, and sat in a chair.
When the spell began, Snow and Charming let go of each other’s hands, since they’d been holding hands, and Charming stepped away from Snow where she was in a separate cell.
“Prince Charming. Finally, I’m seeing you clearly,” Snow said.
“And what do you see?” he wanted to know.
“A fraud. A shepherd. Who has no business being royalty.”
“Well, I see a spoiled little princess who ran away from her troubles; who always runs away.”
“I can’t believe I had a child with you,” she replied.
“Well, maybe you didn’t. Could be Wale’s,” Charming replied.
“If this is what marriage is like, I’m glad you keep postponing ours,” Kristoff told Anna.
“You don’t mean that, Kristoff. It’s the spell,” Anna reasoned.
“No. I’m seeing clearly now, too. I’m beginning to think this haircut wasn’t my only bad idea.”
“I know this isn’t really you. I know it, but it’s still upsetting, so I’m just going to go see me sister and you just stay here handcuffed where you can’t hurt anybody,” she replied. “But me. With your words.”
Anna walked away from him and to the sheriff’s office, where Elsa was at.
Snow and Charming continued arguing with each other.
“That’s ridiculous,” Charming replied to Snow.
“If you knew how to swaddle our child correctly,” Snow replied.
“I swaddle him perfectly.”
“He’s a baby. Not a breakfast burrito.”
Anna tried to intervene to stop them from arguing, since their child was asleep and she didn’t want their arguing to wake him up, but it didn’t work out.
“Hey, I wasn’t the one that told Cora about your secret boyfriend,” Charming continue arguing.
“Are you selling me out?” Snow asked him.
Regina was in her vault, her dark side having come out to play, and was raving about being sealed in her own vault.
Rumple sealed Belle inside his shop in the back.
Meanwhile, Klaus and Katherine’s dark sides had also come out to play sort of speak.
“Well, well. Look who I’ve finally got in my grasp,” Klaus commented.
“You’ll have to break those chains first, Niklaus,” she replied, knowing that he hated the name that his mother had given him, since it reminded him of his mother.
Klaus gave a growl.
“Oh, the things I’ll do when I get out of these chains, Katerina,” he threatened.
“Go ahead. Give it your best shot,” she encouraged.
He pulled on the chains, trying to get out of them, but they were strong enough that they held together, much to Katherine’s luck.
“Maybe if you do get free, I’ll find you a White Oak stake and we can finally settle this once and for all,” she threatened him some more.
“Maybe I’ll get out of these chains and I’ll finally get my vengeance. Then I can tell my brother you had an accident. Maybe another thousand years and he’ll get over you like he and I both got over Tatia,” he threatened back.
Elsa visited Ingrid in the snow cave and soon after, Anna found a note that had come over with Anna and Kristoff through a portal, which said that their mother was sorry for trying to take away Elsa’s powers and that she was wrong to put Ingrid in the urn and she loved Ingrid. After Ingrid read that, she undid the spell, which killed her and the spell stopped.
After the spell had finished, everyone found each other, Regina undid the spell that sealed her inside her vault during the spell, Rumple unsealed Belle from the back of his store, Charming and Snow got out of the cells, Kristoff got unhandcuffed, and Regina unchained Klaus and undid Katherine’s ropes, before going over to her office and unsealing Henry in there. Then Regina and Robin found each other in the woods and everyone was safe. No one luckily got hurt from anyone else. And after everything that had been said between each other, it was all forgiven.
That night, after Elsa and Anna and Kristoff went home, Kat and Klaus realized what they felt for each other now. After all the times of being there for each other and everything they’d gone through since they’d first arrived in town, they’d fallen for each other. And so, they decided to stay in town and continue their love story there.
