Ch.14: Saved By An Old Friend (Kenzo)
Summary: Set in S7. She comes back to life after escaping the prison world and Kai, injured. What will ensue between old friends?
It was a dismal night, as a human and injured Katherine appeared in a cabin. There were several stab wounds on her and there was a dagger protruding from her thigh. There was also an arrow in her lower stomach and blood on either side of her head. When she appeared, she saw Enzo in the cabin. There was a table in front of her, so she set the ascendant on it and used a hand on the table to try and stay on her feet.
Enzo was drinking a shot glass of Bourbon in front of the fireplace, standing, when he smelled a mixture of blood and Katherine, so he set his glass on the mantle and turned around to look at her. When he did and saw her state, he knew that she’d had to deal with Kai.
In a blur, he was at her side and caught her from hitting the floor. He then gently layed her down on the floor.
“Stay with me, luv,” he said, and pulled the arrow out, tossing it to the floor. He could tell that she’d lost a lot of blood, but he didn’t wanna chance blood, knowing she couldn’t digest it last time she’d been human.
“Enzo,” she breathed, as she lay there, vision blurry, and felt a towel around her lower stomach. She knew he was trying to slow the bleeding. She also felt a hand on the side of her face.
“You’re gonna be okay, luv,” she heard him assure her, before she felt him pull her into his arms. Then everything went black for her.
As Enzo blurred to the nearest hospital, an injured and pale Katherine in his arms, he wondered how she’d ended up in the prison world. He also hoped that she’d make it through. She’d lost a lot of blood and was still bleeding from all her wounds. He knew as injured and pale as she was, it was pretty bad for her. He wasn’t and never had been a doctor, but he knew extensive wounds when he saw them. He knew that she could die if she wasn’t immediately tended to. He didn’t want her to die. They were old friends. He’d just never told Damon, knowing he hated her these days.
When he entered the hospital, she was paler than before. She was in even more terrible condition than before.
A few minutes later, he watched the doctors rush her down the hall. He didn’t want to lose her. Though Lily had abandoned him, Katherine never had. They had a lot of history together.
*Flashback- 1907*
Enzo had only been a vampire for a few years, so he was young and reckless. He didn’t know what he was or what all his abilities were, nor did he know any control. That was how Katherine, at 415 years old, found him. She’d explained everything and taught him everything there was to know as a vampire. At the time, he was in a town in Russia. Because of Katherine, he’d learned the ways of vampirism. When she’d done so, they’d become friends.
*End of Flashback*
A few hours later, Enzo was told that she would be okay, so Enzo went into her hospital room and sat on her bedside.
An hour later, when she woke up, she saw Enzo on her bedside. That’s when she knew that he’d saved her life.
She gave a smile.
“Long time no see, Enzo,” she greeted.
“It’s been a very long time, Katherine.”
“Thanks, Enzo, for the save,” she replied.
“Anything for you, Katherine,” he replied. “If you’d like, we can get out of here. You may stay with me if you’d like.”
She gave a smile.
“I’d love that. Thanks for everything, Enzo.”
He smiled back.
A few months later, they fell in love and became a couple.
