Ch.7: OUAT/VD/Originals crossover: New Friends
Summary: Set at the end of OUAT S5 but without Hyde and Jeckle brought in. Zelena, Hook, Charming, and Snow White never got sucked into the portal from the door Zelena sent Roland and the others to. Storybrooke stayed as Regina and Emma’s town, instead of being handed over through one of Rumple’s deals. Set 3 years into the future after VD S8 and Originals S4. Kat escapes from the prison world she was sent to after she died, only to find herself anywhere but Mystic Falls or New Orleans like she was hoping. Elijah is on his own after the prophecy was stopped and all of the siblings and Hope have survived. He suddenly ends up in an unfamiliar place with no one he knows in Storybrooke, but has come to find himself face to face with the only person he knows from their world. Katherine isn’t happy to see him after he left her for his brother and never showed up when she was dying of old age. Elijah never knew that she was dying and he wants to fix things with her, but she seems to not want to even see him, much less talk to him. Will they ever be together again? Will there be a new big bad, or will it be peaceful without danger? What will happen?
It was a beautiful day, as Katherine Pierce appeared in an unfamiliar forest. She had just come from a prison world with help from the ascendant. She had hoped to end up in either Mystic Falls or New Orleans, but this place was neither. She was about to turn around to go find out where she was, when her ex suddenly appeared from nowhere, looking just as confused and curious as she was. His confusion disappeared when he saw her though, and appeared her.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oUVFBZgDF
“Katerina?” he inquired.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbYNlIzmjv
“Don’t. Just stay away from me,” she said in an angry tone, putting up invisible walls against him so he wouldn’t hurt her by leaving again. This time though, she was the one to walk away.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniabSFyhr0
He was confused by her anger, as she walked away from him, but he needed to know what this place was first.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2TqWlkWp2
He blurred over to stand behind her and grabbed her arm gently.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcUnZ3MAI3
“Do you know what this place is?” he questioned her.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv69xVFU0n
She stopped and looked at him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA79HMisfka
“I just got here too, so I don’t know. I’m about to find out, though. You’re free to follow, but after we find out where we are, steer clear of me.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NYRfyCOer
He let go of her, trusting her for now that she wasn’t lying to him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmyf3yn3IW
When they saw the sign on the road, they found out the name of the town and followed the road into town.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViGDaWXlaG
When they got to the town, he finally spoke.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZB7ST5fNp
“I don’t understand why you’re so angry with me. We’ve always forgiven each other in the past. Besides, I was going to come back after everything was dealt with.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwB1gUVrVM
“I know you left to help Klaus in New Orleans and I could have forgiven you for that, but you seem to not get the big picture. I don’t care whether you know about it or not, but I was dying of old age and you never came to try and save me or to say goodbye. I waited for you for weeks, Elijah. Thanks to Elena, I got the cure shoved down my throat. I admit that I’m the reason why since I took my anger towards you out on her and tried to kill her, but I still died. You know, it’s a little ironic that Elena can forgive me for everything on my deathbed, and Stefan could give me peace, but you couldn’t even be bothered to show. When Damon got in my head, I thought that you had finally come to say goodbye or to save me, but it was all part of Damon’s torment for me, but I’m not mad at him, because I know that I deserved it after everything I put him through. Death wasn’t the worst part though. It was being taken by a black mass and ending up in a prison world. So yes; I have the right to be angry at you,” she informed him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgEYa4oWmV
“I’m sorry, Katerina. I didn’t know. I would’ve come if I had known. You know that, Katerina.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ07KeVDyq
As they talked, they gained an audience, but they were too involved in their half yelling and half arguing, though she was the one almost yelling.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59KfimeRcW
“That doesn’t mean that I can forgive you for not showing up. You never even answered my calls when I first got turned back into a human.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jVoN6Lv9X
All he could say to that was, “I hope you can forgive me someday. You loved me for 500 years Katerina, and I still love you, no matter what.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjrRdtygwU
She was innerly happy that he still loved her, but knew that she couldn’t let him get off that easily.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgdbYs7egZ
“I will forgive you someday, but not anytime soon. I need you to give me time to figure things out. I think the best thing right now is for us to figure out if we can trust each other again without breaking each other’s hears or suddenly up and leaving,” she told him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNIivDdQ8V
“Then I will keep my distance until you are ready,” he agreed with her.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU89brqLSP
They walked towards the crowd, as a blond girl with a sheriff’s badge on her jeans walked towards them.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEl7LA41xk
“I hate to intrude, but it’s kind of a rule that we know who and what everyone in town is. I apologize for the audience. We don’t usually get visitors very often. I’m Emma by the way.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pgdSf8D9O
“Nice to meet you, Emma,” Katherine said with a friendly smile. “Well, if you and the others can keep a secret from the outside world, I’m Katherine Pierce and this is Elijah Mikaelsons. In our world, vampires exist and he’s one of the Original vampires. I’m a former vampire that wished to be a vampire again in the beginning when my doppelganger, Elena, shoved the cure for vampirism down my throat. I tried to kill her but now killing isn’t my style anymore. Not after I lost Nadia to Tyler’s werewolf bite. I’m the same person but kind of reformed,” she summarized.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBhwAlh6ol
“Don’t worry. We never leave town, so your secret is safe with us,” Emma assured them both.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0TN00KNoK
“Why haven’t we heard of Storybrooke before?” Elijah had to ask Emma.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIefXPRuT7R
“Because Regina is the one who created it. Every fairytale that you grew up with as a child is real in this town. Henry was the one who believe it before even I did. He’s my biological son, but Regina is the one who adopted and raised him. I was too young to raise a child by myself. Why don’t we go to the diner? We can get to know each other better and Granny can get you a room or two to stay in.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB9hBo2YSK
“That would be great,” Katherine agreed and followed Emma to the diner with the crowd of people in the lead.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eu2yVHeHf
Elijah was silent, not needing to ask if she trusted them. If she didn’t trust them, she wouldn’t have told them what she had. That meant that he had to trust them too.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3WOBxdTj0
Once inside, Elijah sat in an empty booth, while his Katerina sat at the bar on a stool, eating and drinking a shake. When she finished her food and was half way through her shake, he saw a boy with a book sit by her and they began to talk. As they did, he used vamp hearing to listen, curious as to what they had to say. When he did, he realized that they were talking about him and Katerina. The boy wanted them to forgive and get back together again, because he thought that they were meant to be. He called it true love, but in his and Katerina’s world, there was no such thing as true love.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqaK72XSBn
He tuned them out and looked around at everyone else in the diner. He saw a dark haired lady sitting alone, obviously grieving over a loved one. He’d had that look many times after losing someone close to him. He also saw a red head with a baby girl who was also grieving. He figured that they had both been close to whoever they had lost. He then saw Emma and a couple talking that, with super hearing, he found out were Snow White and Prince Charming, apparently Emma’s pairing. Further listening and he found out everyone’s names.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcXypNys7Y
Soon after, he got a shot glass of Bourbon from Ruby who he sensed was a werewolf.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOs8pyrgJh

After a conversation about everything and everyone with Henry, Kat went over to sit at a table with Zelena.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c4OUOhk5R
“I heard about what happened. I just thought I’d give you my condolences. She’s beautiful.” Her last sentence she stated about Robin. “You’re lucky to be able to raise her. I never got to raise my own daughter. She was torn from my arms. Luckily I got to know her after she was grown up and a vampire, but she got bitten by a werewolf and I was afraid to call Klaus to cure her. For that, I’ll have to lvie with regret for the rest of my life.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBy3ciMRSX
“Thank you, but you didn’t have to share. I’m sorry for you loss though. What was her name?” Zelena replied.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cz4CCne3g
“Thanks. Her name was Nadia Petrova.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQldxGD5ug
“That’s a pretty name,” Zelena replied.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUe7kGO33s
“It is. I’ll see you later. Regina needs my help more than anyone,” Kat said.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIlsMnaHjD
Zelena watched her go. There was nothing she could do for Regina, but maybe the ex-vampiress could help her.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu45MfQYNo
Kat sat in front of Regina who immediately asked, “What do you want?”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuMXS1qtsd
“I just want to say that I’m sorry for your loss,” she replied.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1tK29mS9S
“Why? You never knew him.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20xtG4r3gy
“You’re right, but he was always one of my favorite fairytales. I loved how he was free to do as he wanted. I dreamed of being free all of my life. I wasn’t free because of my father. I even hated him; especially, when he tore my daughter from my arms and I was banished to England. I still wasn’t free though and I never truly will be. As long as Elijah’s brother is alive and wants me dead, I won’t be free. My point is that I know what it’s like when it seems that everyone you love dies. All my friends are dead and so are my parents and my daughter Nadia. I don’t have anyone except for Elijah. We’ve broken up, but if he had to choose between my death or his, he’d save me in literally an instant. I know that it seems like there’s no hope, but you will find hope. Everything will work out.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5acnhahPm
“Thanks,” Regina replied. No one had said anything like that before.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNraCZXQasL
Kat smiled. “You’re welcome.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBgBgrajFo
She got to her feet and went to Granny to get a room, before going to her room.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6KSpZXbO7
Once she had closed the door, she layed on the bed on her back. Today had been overwhelming. At least she had helped a couple people who were grieving like she was though. She had even made a town of friends. She just needed to work on not screwing it up. She also had to figure out what to feel about Elijah. He had left and hadn’t come back, but he still loved her and she loved him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfySKbDTyJ
She fell asleep soon after.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm9avZsuYg

444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37WvUjx4k3
The next day after breakfast, she went to the library to check it out.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEZ8FrmlRE
While she was looking at shelves of books to pass the time with something that wasn’t grief, she heard the librarian Belle, and someone she hadn’t met yet, talking. It sounded like they had decided to have a future together. A part of it was because she was pregnant with his child. Then she got a name. The guy was Rumple, which let her know his full name.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1ChcKLUSe
After she left the library empty handed, she saw someone leaning against the wall of a building, apparently waiting for her.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ9XP5nWbD
She crossed the street and stood in front of him.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4CHCRgjs5
“We haven’t been properly introduced,” he greeted.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGJxZuRlh9
“Let me guess. Hook.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK49xOZjwkq
“Aye. You’ve heard of me,” he replied.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwhmvNSvJQ
“Who hasn’t? You’re in a lot of books and you were one of my favorites. Pirates are free and I always wanted to be free of everything.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60rKpWMHLF
“You still could, love.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcdVLhLsEQ
“I already am. Elijah is here and Klaus probably doesn’t even know I’m alive. I can be free here. I can stay and Elijah won’t have to worry about protecting me all the time. He’s been protecting me from Klaus for 500 years. He deserves a break. We both deserve a life together.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcmQdkJtRi
“Then why don’t you do it?” he encouraged.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyXiAyDyaC
“Because I need to have some space to think. I’m not as great at forgiving as he is. I’m not noble like him. I lie and deceive and manipulate when I’m a vampire. That’s why he left. He gave up on trying to figure me out. Now I’ve changed, but it’s so easy to fall back into old habits.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAzPPkFd3c
“I know what you mean, love.”444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPgrqKGKtq
“Nice meeting you, Hook,” she said, before walking away.444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcdyypXPqH
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJscNynnd7
444Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMBYoALBSU
A month later, she and Elijah were back together and all was forgiven. They even decided to stay.
