Katherine felt ground underneath her as she came to, and then saw that wherever she was looked like Mystic Falls, but with no one populating it.575Please respect copyright.PENANApdG2NOguco
"What the Hell?" She questioned.575Please respect copyright.PENANArJYhFvOEZh
There was a newspaper not far from her. She sat up and looked down at it at the date, which she read was April 22,1994.575Please respect copyright.PENANA6bjQGtrheU
She got to her feet and started walking, needing to know where she was. She knew she was dead and the Other Side had disintegrated, so why was she here? She needed answers and that's what she was going to get. She was Katherine and Katherine always got what she wanted, no matter what. It didn't matter if she was human or not.575Please respect copyright.PENANABPFMvkCg0i

Once in the woods, she came upon something she recognized and knew what she had to do. She picked up the ascendant and set it up so it would work. Then, once there was an eclipse, she used magic to get transported out of there and to the real world.575Please respect copyright.PENANANBTO2JFpQ9
A moment later, she found herself alive, human, and standing outside the Mikaelson family home in New Orleans.575Please respect copyright.PENANAsZCixyLYEF
She dropped the ascendant and walked inside to see everyone there, excluding her lover's elder brother, planning something, which she knew meant going to war. Elijah wasn't present, so she figured they were trying to get him back from an enemy. The only ones present were Klaus, Kol, Rebekah, Hayley, Marcel, Cami, Davina, and a child she guessed was the "miracle" baby she had heard about.575Please respect copyright.PENANALbmJ2Y9u28
When she walked in, she was met with a glare from Hayley, mostly shocked faces from others that she was alive, and a smile from Klaus.575Please respect copyright.PENANAGcD1uAPrRb
"What brings you here, luv?" He asked her.575Please respect copyright.PENANAzXNlovNhWv
"I'll tell you later. Right now, I want to know what's going on. You look like you're going to war and you're going to kill someone."575Please respect copyright.PENANA4frCzrwhhF
"Well, no use avoiding your curiosity. Esther and Mikael have been resurrected. So have Kol and Finn, but Finn's in a box. Esther has captured Elijah and thinks that making us witches will bring our family together again. I'm going to go get my brother, while they go after her werewolf body guards," he explained.575Please respect copyright.PENANAKMXkhW3gbe
"We're not going to kill them unless we have to. I don't want to kill my own people. Besides, it won't earn their trust or respect by killing my family," Hayley told her.575Please respect copyright.PENANAFUxH9EZuMx
"That, I can agree on. Family is everything. Family sticks together as one," Katherine sympathized. "I'm coming with you," she added, looking at Klaus.575Please respect copyright.PENANARMcX9mX2uU
"No. I won't have you put in danger. Stay here and wait for me," Klaus ordered.575Please respect copyright.PENANAP9zu5DxCvm
Before she could argue, he was gone, the others leaving as well. Then Cami headed home and Katherine was alone.575Please respect copyright.PENANAdg3aNGAIDA
Screw this. If I can't help with Esther, I can take care of Mikael, she thought, heading out, using her tracking skills and magic to find Mikael.575Please respect copyright.PENANAEyQP8BGP9U
575Please respect copyright.PENANAxHgOdpKsYw
575Please respect copyright.PENANAjKNWrhWE8S
An hour later, she found him in the woods. 575Please respect copyright.PENANAiU7ti63DtN
She used magic to throw him against a tree.575Please respect copyright.PENANAfnJF0islzT
"Well, well; if it isn't the runaway doppelgänger turned human again," Mikael greeted.575Please respect copyright.PENANAih058OvLaq
"Hello again, Mikael," she greeted back.575Please respect copyright.PENANAlohpDlFT63
She through him again, as she walked towards him.575Please respect copyright.PENANAfqrmO0Vvdl
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but I'm going to destroy you. I won't let you kill Klaus and his siblings," she added.575Please respect copyright.PENANA9iTDxEV7tB
"What are you going to do about it?" Mikael inquired. "You're human and you don't even have this." He took out the White Oak stake. "You can't kill me if you don't have the right weapon." He smiled at her.575Please respect copyright.PENANAFjccwH4988
Soon, they were fighting head on. She put up a pretty good fight, but she lost.575Please respect copyright.PENANAF5A1RjnsqN
575Please respect copyright.PENANAAp9mMT64L2
575Please respect copyright.PENANAYBDZaff5Ua
Meanwhile, Klaus had rescued Elijah and was now looking everywhere for the love of his life.575Please respect copyright.PENANA6vHxaun0Av
His phone rang.575Please respect copyright.PENANArR6gFAn0OG
He stopped on a sidewalk and answered it.575Please respect copyright.PENANAapYdlCAf5k
"I assume you're looking for your precious Katerina about now," Mikael said, before Klaus could say anything.575Please respect copyright.PENANAFhlU55nBdY
"If you harm her in any way, I will make you suffer. I will tear you apart, limb by limb. I give you my word," Klaus warned him.575Please respect copyright.PENANA3cxOPrLpVM
"Come alone. You better hurry, or you'll be too late. Let's face it; she's human now; easy to kill."575Please respect copyright.PENANAOOC2tjd2iS
Mikael hung up and Klaus gave a growl, before heading for the woods, making a guess of where they might be. Mikael had always loved the woods.575Please respect copyright.PENANAPjyNnBX2Hw
575Please respect copyright.PENANARZRn3ZJzHg
575Please respect copyright.PENANAqzCGxOPp6E
Mikael had Katherine in an old house in the woods, tied to a chair with ropes, injured but still a fighter.575Please respect copyright.PENANARkIGezj03k
"You're going to pay when he gets here," she warned him.575Please respect copyright.PENANApqK6t8RM0d
"Oh, really? I don't think so. I have the White Oak stake and he doesn't. I'm much more powerful than even a hybrid; an abomination."575Please respect copyright.PENANA0EgVCcuMib
"Strength always out weighs weapons," she said. "The mind is the best strength he'll ever have against you. You think you'll win, but you won't. The thing stronger than your hatred for him is his love for me. Love is always stronger than hate."575Please respect copyright.PENANAbKpOd1249E
"Shut up," Mikael growled.575Please respect copyright.PENANAmgWjhLo0ud
"Go to hell," she replied.575Please respect copyright.PENANAlP4NQYtFPH
"You first," he replied back.575Please respect copyright.PENANAQbZDpBzOdS
He stabbed her in the stomach.575Please respect copyright.PENANA8RJjeSVQxo
"Been there. Done that," she said through the pain.575Please respect copyright.PENANAVg8sFpUUmL
He pulled the dagger out and let it drop to the floor.575Please respect copyright.PENANAYb5QNYwY5u
A moment later, Klaus arrived.575Please respect copyright.PENANALcuzeRK2w7
She watched them fight one on one and was glad when, with dim vision, she saw Klaus get the White Oak stake and pierce Mikael's heart with it.575Please respect copyright.PENANAauepiQqHnV
As Mikael lay on his back, dead, Klaus got to his feet.575Please respect copyright.PENANAdXYOdPg59q
A moment later, he was in front of her, snapping the ropes.575Please respect copyright.PENANADLmowqxldR
Once finished, he rested gentle hands on either side of her face, keeping her head up.575Please respect copyright.PENANApb7AfC6w4G
"Katerina? Katerina. Can you hear me, Katerina?"575Please respect copyright.PENANAuHzNT1hPXh
Not getting an answer, he bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, using one hand to keep her head up.575Please respect copyright.PENANA8gETZuI2Pf
"Come on Katerina; Drink."575Please respect copyright.PENANAfAEQ7vVa0J
Feeling the familiar liquid, she began to drink and, once her wounds were healed, she woke up a little.575Please respect copyright.PENANAxnsn5czzcW
"Klaus," she whispered.575Please respect copyright.PENANArLyXUWZIff
He gently picked her up in his arms.575Please respect copyright.PENANA8oYjdbpSfg
"It's okay. I'm here. You're safe now, Katerina, luv."575Please respect copyright.PENANAOPtK8FThAP
She wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes.575Please respect copyright.PENANAFdrShojhx5
575Please respect copyright.PENANA44fbJaKHi3
575Please respect copyright.PENANASycAZxCpL4
Once home, he gently layed her down in his room on his bed and sat on her bedside, his hand in hers, looking down at her.575Please respect copyright.PENANAMSBmfik8ex
575Please respect copyright.PENANA5OSgVPnBd3
575Please respect copyright.PENANAlufO7BrRP8
A few hours later, she woke up to see him on her bedside, looking down at her in worry.575Please respect copyright.PENANAQWOqsCduj3
She smiled and rested a gentle hand on the left side of his face.575Please respect copyright.PENANA7Supn7ou75
"I'm okay. Don't worry. You saved me and defeated Mikael."575Please respect copyright.PENANAkNH19jyjni
"How can I not worry? I almost lost you, Katerina."575Please respect copyright.PENANAaGe4zJSkA6
"But you didn't. Live in the moment. Plot against your mother tomorrow."575Please respect copyright.PENANA4LyjuJKk86
She gave him a kiss and then a smile.575Please respect copyright.PENANAILMs2B2gvY
He smiled back.575Please respect copyright.PENANAmwLEQplnHo
"You're absolutely right."575Please respect copyright.PENANAskPAhReWrr
A moment later, they were kissing and taking clothes off, going to third base. And in that moment, they came back to each other.575Please respect copyright.PENANA4GNYsMUPWP
575Please respect copyright.PENANAa8eKuWmZ0M
575Please respect copyright.PENANAJdbDH0hfHx
A few weeks later, Esther was dead and all was peaceful in both the Bayou and French Quarter. Witches were able to do magic again, the werewolves were allowed back in the French Quarter, and Rebekah and Hope were able to return home to Klaus, Hayley, Elijah, and Kol.575Please respect copyright.PENANAUVHdywHz8m

A few months later, Katherine and Klaus had a little girl named Katherina Petrova Mikaelson, who was born a hybrid; half werewolf, half vampire, and half human.575Please respect copyright.PENANAmtggtEubuS
