Summary: Set in S1. What if Kat came to New Orleans, only to have to save a certain Original she's never liked?
A/N: Kat isn't human in this one. She's still a vampire.
It was a dark night in New Orleans, as Katherine Pierce walked, heading towards the Bayou to check on a certain pregnant werewolf. She just hoped that there wouldn't be a fight. She didn't want to argue with a pregnant werewolf. She just wanted to see how she was doing after finding out about the pregnancy.
Suddenly, she saw that Klaus was in need of help in the middle of the woods which wasn't far from the Bayou. She knew she had to help him, but she had to have a plan. She couldn't help him if she got hurt or killed by the vampires, including Marcel. Marcel was standing a small distance away from him, as his vampires held the chains that were attached to Klaus' wrists. But she could see, even as a hybrid, he couldn't fight them off like he should be able to do, though his eyes were yellow like a werewolf's. And as she watched, the vampire whom had been standing beside Marcel, stepped towards him with a magical knife in hand and stabbed him with it, before going to stand by Marcel again.
Silently, with a piece of wood in hand, she crept up behind them, since they were too distracted with Klaus to know that she was there, and swiftly killed the vampire, with it, before pulling it out.
Marcel looked at her, before she stabbed it into him, just grazing his heart.
"Tell your vampires to back off. Now," she ordered in an angry tone. "I won't hesitate to kill you, you know."
"Katherine," he said through the pain.
"You remember. Good. Now let Klaus go, or I'll kill all of you."
Knowing Katherine never bluffed about anything, Marcel told them through the pain, "Let him go."
They obeyed.
"Good. Now what the hell did you do to him?" she questioned.
"Vervain with a mixture of some wolfsbane."
"Thank you for the corporation."
She pulled the stick out of him and headed towards where Klaus lay on the ground.
Without hesitation, Marcel and his guys left, Marcel knowing that it wouldn't be a smart idea to be staying there when it was Katherine. He knew her from experience that you didn't peeve Katherine off unless you wanted to be tortured and killed or one or the other.
She rushed to his aid and ripped the chains off his wrists, before kneeling down beside him.
"Klaus?" she called to him.
He almost growled, eyes still yellow from rage, but she could tell that he was also weak and he had been injected with wolfsbane, which she knew wasn't good for him.
"Calm down. It's just me. I'm going to help you, but you need to calm down and you need to listen to me," she said gently, as she ordered him.
Being weak, he finally calmed down, knowing he needed assistance and whether he liked it or not, Katerina was here and ready to help him, even though he was her enemy of 500 years and probably always would be.
"Katerina," was all he could say, as he finally let his rage die down and his eyes turned back to their normal color.
A few hours later, after she had gotten him home and in bed and had given him the cure for wolfsbane, she knew that he'd be okay. And even though she didn't like it much, she knew that after everything that had happened between them tonight through everything, she had started to fall for him. And she couldn't help but hear Listen To Your Heart play in her head.
Listen to your heart
When he's calling out your name
Listen to your heart
It's all that you can do
Listen to your heart
Before you tell him good-bye
Listen to your heart…
