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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F78bmp8qD
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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSMGESg5vp
She walked towards them.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JJo2ezTk2
"Katerina?" Elijah questioned, seeing her.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CkmABktYn
"I need your help," she told him.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH1iuGqMmg
"This isn't the time or place, but we'll discuss this later."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqvynhwXZR
"What happened?" she questioned.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J2JKCOLqF
"Someone sent a suicide bomber out here," Hayley informed her.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxY4KEOCpH
"Why would someone want to kill werewolves?"536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey9WiOnUyF
"I don't think they planned it like this. Whoever it was, has to be targeting me and my unborn child."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKDybcvxBy
"You're pregnant?"536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz40WFvwe31
"I guess you haven't heard. I'm carrying Klaus' "miracle" child, as the wolves call it."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGSULl3azc
"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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1elyps1mjs
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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYotMBkBltn
Eve stood up and looked at her.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemiKMK7yEa
"Katherine; nice to see you again. I wish it was under better circumstances, though," she greeted.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpq13h3aUb
"It's nice to see you, too. What can I do to help?"536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDoVGPaXyU
"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."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDMjF9N3AN
"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."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLvIbWZbPs
"We've been banished. We can't enter the French Quarter."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9g1HCNLc3
"I'm sure the Originals will have something to say about that. Go make the cure. I'll do what I can."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1iOMPCkbe
"Thanks, Katherine."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1zjMJYbkC
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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUcvSs7vkS
"Don't be afraid. It was just an explosion. Everything will be okay. What's your name?"536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s1lgb1XIh
"Sydney."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrpXnb5edp
"William."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Gede6G1t
"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?"536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllDCTp1iLG
"What?" they asked.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg9TPsQjFU
"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."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSCTvf5xyR
The children listened to her and then Sydney had to ask, "Where's your ma'ma?"536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg09bumcSdz
"She's one of the stars now."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDaDfqP7al
Katherine gave them a smile and then went to comfort and tend to others.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBt8WPAPM8
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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxDJA58KSb
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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZQl4g6n4A
"Get them out of here. I need to help her," he told Hayley.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoL6uqyhxl
She knew who he was referring to.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL7gt0IVBR
"I'll meet you at the church."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAbwM72DMW
Elijah left the wolves to find the love of his life, though she was his ex.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg31M30MmbY
"Katerina!" he yelled, as he raced towards where she lay.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9iEj0Soch
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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCsDFQB9xC
He gently pulled her into his arms and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUB5I2K6WL
"Stay with me, Katerina. I'm right here. I"ll protect you. Just stay with me," he said, not wanting to lose her.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ607BAmuvpf
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.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz08NvY3U8
She smiled and slowly sat up in bed.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXQKAhPWxW
"You saved me. Thanks."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IjYcTCyig
"Always and forever, Katerina," he replied with a smile.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYXr441WDv
She smiled back.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ2qyQOXqV
A moment later, they were kissing.
