Summary: A very human Kat come to New Orleans in search of Elijah for protection. Will he grant it? What will ensue?
It was a beautiful day in New Orleans, as a human Katherine Pierce, formerly Katerina Petrova, walked through the streets in search of Elijah Mikaelson, her ex who left her for his brother. She needed him now more than ever before. She was human now and she had many enemies; all of which were supernatural beings.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGnFqm9Hl9
When she made herself to the Bayou, she saw what looked to be the aftermath of an explosion that had been mixed with wolfsbane. And amongst the injured and non-injured werewolves were Elijah and Hayley. It looked to her like Hayley had finally found her family.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AWYLfgDvm
She walked towards them.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPB9zPOSZy
"Katerina?" Elijah questioned, seeing her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJPoTW1Pv3
"I need your help," she told him.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTEZR3HACc
"This isn't the time or place, but we'll discuss this later."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzwSr75yXj
"What happened?" she questioned.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3CRoFd7w4
"Someone sent a suicide bomber out here," Hayley informed her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfY1Klm9Vm
"Why would someone want to kill werewolves?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7XFwZqcEU
"I don't think they planned it like this. Whoever it was, has to be targeting me and my unborn child."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOWzrPOXIN
"You're pregnant?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A6Og3emcP
"I guess you haven't heard. I'm carrying Klaus' "miracle" child, as the wolves call it."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPQsy68n95
"No. I didn't hear. I've been trying to survive any humanly way, but someone broke his promise to protect me from Silas so, as usual, I ran for my life and decided to try my luck in New Orleans. Let's help your wolves first, though," she explained.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y9ZB1dkxs
They watched, as Katherine went over to where Eve was trying to comfort a small family of a little boy and girl and their parents.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6fpv0lknJ
Eve stood up and looked at her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrj6EdY9Mm
"Katherine; nice to see you again. I wish it was under better circumstances, though," she greeted.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzOQ6S6RZF
"It's nice to see you, too. What can I do to help?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mgio8GPZU
"Well, I need to go and make the cure for wolfsbane and someone needs to tend to the wounded and be of comfort to the others."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvxyndNWGT
"I'll do both with help from Hayley and Elijah, but there has to be some place you can go until we can fix the damage."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp26tzr4BWC
"We've been banished. We can't enter the French Quarter."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsriYCZsK3
"I'm sure the Originals will have something to say about that. Go make the cure. I'll do what I can."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVuHO642mw
"Thanks, Katherine."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPBH3q8D1f
While Eve walked off to go make the cure, she knelt on the ground and looked at the kids whose parents were trying to comfort them.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX2ViQQ6I3
"Don't be afraid. It was just an explosion. Everything will be okay. What's your name?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmRRRAR94a
"Sydney."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BELATV3hF
"William."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFXPMvLgMa
"Well, I know you're afraid right now, but you don't need to be. When I was your age, I used to be afraid too, but you know what?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5AujI0FPR
"What?" they asked.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxtR0Z2F1g
"My ma'ma told me to look to the starts and listen to the birds. The stars are your ancestors watching over you and if you listen to the birds with your heart, they'll guide you home and you're never really alone."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABhdaunbga
The children listened to her and then Sydney had to ask, "Where's your ma'ma?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR8qx4tvQ5
"She's one of the stars now."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUQsf9fDT2
Katherine gave them a smile and then went to comfort and tend to others.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdoVGE9A7t
As Elijah tended to the wolves and watched Katerina, it made him wonder if she had once had a child, as calm and nurturing as she was with the children.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn9gKYDASV
Soon, Eve returned with the cure in which Elijah, Hayley, and Katherine gave to the wolves.
When the wolves were heading out of the Bayou with Hayley and Elijah leading, heading for Father Kieran's church, another explosion happened.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9AP7N1Zaf
"Get them out of here. I need to help her," he told Hayley.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkhUOMfjzC
She knew who he was referring to.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq1GvnFJb1
"I'll meet you at the church."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmp5GweaIO
Elijah left the wolves to find the love of his life, though she was his ex.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwvTy6CL2B
"Katerina!" he yelled, as he raced towards where she lay.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeq8MQ54uE
He knelt at her side and looked down at her. She lay on her side with her lower left side bleeding, eyes closed, but alive.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdsT432bLZ
He gently pulled her into his arms and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ126wmFWycP
"Stay with me, Katerina. I'm right here. I"ll protect you. Just stay with me," he said, not wanting to lose her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40AqIUPOyo
He took his wrist away, which instantly healed, as did her wound.
A few hours later, when she woke up, she saw that she was in Elijah's room with him seated on her bedside.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkkQ1uyPFT
She smiled and slowly sat up in bed.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI8ZVv25aq
"You saved me. Thanks."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6E1SslRqZ
"Always and forever, Katerina," he replied with a smile.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJirbOxhokq
She smiled back.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTzSNefdOW
A moment later, they were kissing.
