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.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884dIoS9Aj
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.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqArZPLIb9i
She walked towards them.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3lUljOxRr
"Katerina?" Elijah questioned, seeing her.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXdmioWgVA
"I need your help," she told him.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF5jVt7FQi
"This isn't the time or place, but we'll discuss this later."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6LhSNb2b2
"What happened?" she questioned.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTmk98XRpp
"Someone sent a suicide bomber out here," Hayley informed her.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi9mpgcA3a
"Why would someone want to kill werewolves?"618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYHzIohE8W
"I don't think they planned it like this. Whoever it was, has to be targeting me and my unborn child."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuRM808C8u
"You're pregnant?"618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw46xWU9YI6
"I guess you haven't heard. I'm carrying Klaus' "miracle" child, as the wolves call it."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kHfC3p0kS
"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.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVUyN1NCE7
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.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXYKk9qwCE
Eve stood up and looked at her.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZBiYXWv9b
"Katherine; nice to see you again. I wish it was under better circumstances, though," she greeted.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kJs8oiYtZ
"It's nice to see you, too. What can I do to help?"618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl7SJrkNp6
"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."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QwdKKW1nU
"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."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4wxaxSpYV
"We've been banished. We can't enter the French Quarter."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgVUgk9ShO
"I'm sure the Originals will have something to say about that. Go make the cure. I'll do what I can."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLp7hVmzWo
"Thanks, Katherine."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfox6ShwuV
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.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnGUy4ghAO
"Don't be afraid. It was just an explosion. Everything will be okay. What's your name?"618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjlF1i0j81
"Sydney."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEHCu02eAb
"William."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFd6Fs9CUE
"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?"618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtebkzX3H5m
"What?" they asked.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE06vUwO7s
"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."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrhmirTTZ8
The children listened to her and then Sydney had to ask, "Where's your ma'ma?"618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5SgAXAF9r
"She's one of the stars now."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFrFhEIpbF
Katherine gave them a smile and then went to comfort and tend to others.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxCbuxmpKS
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.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nq7DcUgWP
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.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeQWbou7Gw
"Get them out of here. I need to help her," he told Hayley.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQuOspYZia
She knew who he was referring to.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQvlFnTGnV
"I'll meet you at the church."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyqbAif0FA
Elijah left the wolves to find the love of his life, though she was his ex.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEwNZut2Zj
"Katerina!" he yelled, as he raced towards where she lay.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc3yxcLGEj
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.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B1O5HP6iJ
He gently pulled her into his arms and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9mCWHP4M6
"Stay with me, Katerina. I'm right here. I"ll protect you. Just stay with me," he said, not wanting to lose her.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FtxGZCvBv
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.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBfbtjwWOA
She smiled and slowly sat up in bed.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc7lOFuR3g
"You saved me. Thanks."618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8J6DIkCX2
"Always and forever, Katerina," he replied with a smile.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcoO4O2zvo
She smiled back.618Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIADwrTqUwL
A moment later, they were kissing.
