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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIuwqsvFHw
“Who are you?” Katherine asked her.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGMHV2et45
“My name is Nadia Petrova and you are my mother,” she said.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jUCMObiGP
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuuh19DfaH

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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUelVZWuGqM

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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXv8D2GoCs
No, he thought to himself.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT19Na39AlA
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty5y3GO2s8
“Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her, not knowing how she was human or if she could digest vampire blood.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQFwyQ0sOd
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR3vjcglwy
“Elijah?” she questioned weakly, very weak from blood loss.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJM4kvZcRp
“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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVDFFebW2Q
“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.”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLzsvlvq2C
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHMqq8n05O
As he gently slid an arm under her legs and his other under her, she began to go under.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQABdcGDMWL
“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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyRMneTzKS
Elijah gently pulled her out of the wreckage and picked her gently up in his arms, before blurring towards the Mystic Falls hospital.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCm4sKi5TL

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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVaEbcPzik
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH5FDHLDbp
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmw0oq7Dv3
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hvYlrbzpZ
She smiled back.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPouCOKo6g
“You saved my life. Thank you.”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi45A1B5BA
“I will always save you, Katerina, no matter what,” he replied.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uw5Eu5rQz
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OPKdkJoIT
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBR2daDShV
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOF5ENntoo
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWdvpwphyN
When Nadia heard a noise, she went to investigate and found her on the floor.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1N2PKbLna
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcTPMN9cQU
As she fell to the ground below, she hoped Nadia and Elijah would forgive her.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYHid0FQ8g
When she felt like someone had caught her, she opened her eyes to see Elijah.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Ek1BElSS
He set her on her feet.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfa48lAShZ
“What are you doing, Katerina?” he asked of her.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Eg55aojV
She knew he met to be asking why she would be committing suicide, when he was here for her.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoAAkH5Pzc
“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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgHpxopboa
“I promise you, Katerina, we will find a way. We always do,” he replied.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TtVyPSeEw
“Then save me,” she said.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o3NDWsaKP
“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.
