Summary: Set in S2, 4, and 5. Based on Imagine Dragons’ song “Demons.”
*Bulgaria- 1492*
When the days are cold and the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst, of all
And the blood’s run stale
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
It was a nebulous night, as a newly turned Katerina Petrova ran to the cabin in her village, seeing her villagers slaughtered. When she went inside the cabin she’d grown up in, she found that her father had a sword through him and was hanging from the wall. She also saw her mother with her throat torn open whom lay on the bed.
She rushed to her mother and sobbed.
After weeping over her mother, she fled her village and Bulgaria. She didn’t want to be killed by Klaus. She’d just seen what he’d done to her village and family just to get back at her for running. She had to run from him to survive.
*A View To A Kill*
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
When the curtain’s call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you’ve made
It was a dismal night at the house, as she lay on the couch, him with his back turned to her, leaning against a wall. He didn’t want to look at her, knowing he’d done something he shouldn’t have in his anger, but he didn’t want to back down. He didn’t want Tyler to be right. He also didn’t want to watch her die.
“Why are you doing this?” she inquired. “To me?” She didn’t care about why he was doing what he was doing to Tyler, since she didn’t care about him.
“Call it boredom. Maybe I’m just pure evil and I can’t help myself,” he replied.
She could see right through him, since they were so much alike. “No. It’s because you’re hurt. Which means a part of you is human. I know that you’re in love with me. And anyone capable of love is capable of being saved.”
She closed her eyes.
He turned around to finally look at her and went over to sit on the coffee table, which was in front of the couch.
“Katerina?” he called, since she wasn’t moving. After a moment of nothing, he realized that she was just moments from joining the Other Side. “Katerina,” he tried again, not wanting to believe that he was going to lose her because of his anger.
He gave a growl, before finally deciding to save her.
He sat on the couch with her against him, and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to cure her, saving her life. He didn’t know what he’d do if she died. He’d once hated her, but these days he cared for her.
*The Last Day*
Don’t wanna let you down
But I am Hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don’t wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
It was a beautiful day, as Katherine woke up in a chair in Alaric’s apartment. She was confused about why she was here. The witch whom had attacked her had spoken of Klaus, but this was not Klaus’ apartment. This was Ric’s. Then Ric approached her.
When he spoke, she knew that Klaus was inside Ric’s body.
“Oh, how I’ve missed you, Katerina.”
“Klaus.”
After she’d filled him in on everything going on and who was who, he took out a knife and approached, this time dressed for the dance.
He handed her the knife.
“I want you to stab this in your leg.”
She did as she was told.
“Good.” He began to leave, but then turned around to look at her. “Oh, and if you get bored, switch legs.” He left, closing the door behind himself.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
They say it’s what you make
I say it’s up to fate
It’s woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes
They shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can’t escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Klaus had just come back to town after hearing that she’d gotten the cure shoved down her throat and was now human. He was searching for her, knowing what she most likely was feeling now that she was only human. After 500 years, she’d been bested and turned back into a human. He was sure she was hating her life as a human and he didn’t blame her. They were too much alike, though he’d never admit it. He knew she had many enemies and if they found out that she was human, she’d be dead if nobody was there to protect her. He was looking for her so that he could be there for her, and protect her from those that tried to kill her or harm her in any way.
He stopped in the woods, smelling human blood and the scent of Katerina. He then followed it to a car that had crashed into a streetlight pole. He knew that it was her immediately.
He blurred to her side of the car and forced the jammed door open. He then assessed her condition.
“Katerina.”
He gently pulled her into his arms and then blurred to the Mikaelson mansion, where he gently layed her down in his bed. He knew that she’d be okay. There was blood on the left side of her head, but she’d live.
