It was a beautiful day in Oregon, as Katherine Pierce drove out of town, heading for Mystic Falls to make sure those she cared about were okay. She couldn’t call because of nothing electric working or technology working anymore, so she had to drive. As she drove in the four door pickup truck she’d stolen, with windows down and the backseat full of all sorts of guns and ammo, she kept a hand gun in her lap, fully loaded. She wasn’t taken any chances. She also had a first-aid kit under the passenger’s seat and a full three containers of gasoline in the back of the truck.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9PY3kzpvq

A few weeks later, she pulled up in the driveway of the Salvatore boarding house. It looked untouched, but she knew all too well that looks could deceive.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnvdqS0fzN
She got out of the truck, closing the door as quietly as possible, the gun in her new holster she’d found a week ago.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbQ5pXGsyQ
She walked up to the door and knocked before walking in, closing the door behind herself.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxntksh8M6
“Damon?” she called.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb8wxsF5Ga
She entered the living room, where she saw him by his drinking table, drinking from a bottle of Bourbon.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdzqXD2Sy2
“In what universe do you have the right to be alive?” he said in the tone he always reserved for only her.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZZ0wjDfEW
“Maybe because I’m still a survivor,” she said, knowing his real question was how she was still alive. “Look. I didn’t have to risk my life coming here, but I did. I came back to make sure you’re okay and alive.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Bxooravs
He finally looked at her. “Why would you even care? You didn’t care before, so why now? It’s different now. Everyone I’ve ever loved and cared for is dead.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8TX4OwCrd
“I’ve always cared. It was just easier for me if you thought that I didn’t. I know it’s bad now, but we have to stick together.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1qKs7BCiF
“Thanks, but I’d rather take my chances here.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXF2XvJUy7
She sighed. “Fine. Just be careful and good luck.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutD8ajgAt6
He watched as she left.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcwYJX4CGh
After leaving, she drove around and found that those she had known or hadn’t known were dead. There was still one person left to check on though. She hadn’t seen her, so she assumed that she was home, staying as safe as she could.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdFIvak16t
She parked in front of the house and stood on the porch and knocked.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO8bxBc6V7
“Caroline?” she called through the door.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRuXx8RVz2
“Get out of here. Just go,” she heard from by the door on the other side.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8rgB5NLl3
“I know you’re alone now. I’m sorry for your loss. I know I’m not the best company in the world, but you don’t have to be alone. Damon already said no, which is understandable. I just want to help who I can. It’s best if we stick together. I have all the weapons and ammo we could need in the truck and a few other things we’ll need. If you pack now, we can get out of here before dark.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAQL8ql4kR
Caroline didn’t like Katherine very much, but she’d seen enough zombie movies to know that Katherine was right.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqgMFdnnt9
She sighed. “Fine. I’ll come.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD3aOxdkIw
A few minutes later, Katherine was driving out of town, Caroline in the passenger’s seat.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t3C3lywNN
“Where are we going anyway?” Caroline questioned.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhLFa0DOZU
“New Orleans to the compound. Sure, it might be dangerous at first, but the compound is built strong enough to keep those zombies out. Plus, I need to know if they’re all alive.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF0Bwb2WC8
“Makes sense,” Caroline replied, agreeing with her for once.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aou5vUMa7
“Before we get there though, don’t be mad at Klaus, but I have to tell you something,” Kat informed the blonde.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVBlkvl2tm
“What?” she asked, assuming that she wasn’t gonna like this.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrS3vKNLnR
As Kat drove, she told the blonde about the one night stand Klaus and Hayley had and about the baby named Hope they had had together.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh26f1mfTVk
“That’s all I know,” she finished.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuwUhbKaXs
“When’s the last time you heard anything from New Orleans?” she asked the former vampiress.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETkPtgXWWG
“A year. I haven’t heard anything since the cure was shoved down my throat. I haven’t even spoken to Elijah since he left right before I tried to kill my doppelganger in anger. I know I should be apologizing to Elena instead of you, but I’m sorry about that by the way.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtBx9m4HZ0
“I’m sure he’s okay,” she assured the brunette.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPGJ1ai5YK
Kat was silent.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOuI6sWqF7
712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6bssHY3Ql
712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkAQbrDQ5g
Several weeks later, when they were half way to New Orleans, they saw a blonde and a guy with one hand, on the side of the road looking like they were having truck problems and were clearly arguing with each other.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLhgddGnJM
Kat stopped the truck in front of them and rolled down the automatic passenger’s window, looking at them.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XLTLk8WkC
“Need some help?” she questioned.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLhIytU7xk
They looked at them.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cqt3l8dUj
“We’ve got this, Sweet Cheeks,” the guy replied to her.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONPJAWmpk4
“Clearly. Look; you’re in the middle of nowhere with nothing but highway. It’s dangerous. If you want, we could give you two a lift somewhere, or you can join us. We’re going to New Orleans to see if some friends are okay. Our friends have a strong compound,” Kat explained.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAGoHETker
“We should go with them,” the blonde told him.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZSyrD7Sug
“Fine,” he replied.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYAYMiyLfw
“Great,” Kat said, and set the bag of weapons on the floorboard so there was space for them in the back.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS7yWa9O6X
Once they were in, Kat continued the drive.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh0wp6A5zw
“I’m Katherine by the way and this is Caroline. Who are you two?”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImk2WrjVYg
“I’m Andrea and this is Merle. We’ve been looking for the group I got separated from. His brother, Daryl, is with them.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N1NPjoHoO
“Well, nice to meet you. What did you do before the zombies happened?”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TfvpxKABe
“I was in college and sometimes spent the summer with my sister Amy and my father. He taught us how to fish. I lost her a year ago though. She turned into once of them and I had to shoot her,” Andrea explained.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL8frjWRN2
“I’m sorry for your loss. Luckily my family is long dead, so they don’t have to get killed by zombies. It’s a new world now, so it’s best that we don’t keep secrets. My parents were slaughtered by the Original werewolf-vampire hybrid Klaus in 1492 as vengeance for me running and turning. I turned myself into a vampire and I’ve been a survivor ever since, but now I’m human again, because the cure for vampirism was shoved down my throat. Caroline has only been a vampire for a few years. You can choose to believe me or not, but it’s true.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1iz74z7oe
“I believe you. I’ve always been open-minded,” Andrea replied.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCERWxHxrKO
“Thanks. What did you do before?” she said to Andrea, before asking Merle the question.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRg7nw87Ak
“I’ll put it this way, Sweet Cheeks. I’m ex-military, but I also was in and out of jail a lot.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Y1iRD5nI
“Well, not everyone is perfect. I can be pretty bad myself. I’ve killed many for 500 years, but being human has changed me. I don’t go around killing people anymore. Caroline hates killing though,” Kat replied.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAxmr355Ho
712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvDv6jMAUQ
712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzztVgh5VDL
A week later, they made it to New Orleans.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdGrRh4VAm
Kat parked in front of the compound and they followed Kat to the front door, who then opened the door and walked in. Andre and Merle also walked in. Kat stood by the door and looked at Caroline.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwbOjxNbuR
“See if you can come in.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C1Q0404rs
She tried but was barred.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZrlrBMcyL
“Let me call them so you can be invited in,” she told her, before calling loud enough for them to hear, “Anyone here?”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwpT6IPw3O
A blonde stranger holding a three year old girl appeared at the top of the stairs. “Come in.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVztiw6R4be
Caroline walked in and Kat closed the door.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Xd7uC0cx
“Who are you?” Kat asked, once the girl was downstairs, standing in front of her.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8j7eulyAR
“Elijah mentioned you might have a little bit of an attitude. I’m Freya. You might’ve heard of me. I was thought to be dead, but was actually taken as prisoner by our Aunt Dahlia.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctkD2OTlRD
“Well, I’m glad that you found your family. This little one must be Hope,” Katherine said with a smile.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9CtsOAVLD
“Yes. And she’s all yours if anything happens to the last of us.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnl0ysMqeF
“What’s that supposed to mean?”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5oOL0R0AD
“I’ve been trying to stay away from Hope all I can but sooner or later, it’s going to happen, which means that I must go, though Elijah has chosen to stay. Klaus is just fine and Rebekah is daggered. Her box is across the river if you want to wake her up. Kol is safe with his new love life Davina Claire,” Freya explained.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡindOAonIo8
“Where is he?” she asked, her worst nightmare happening.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpvd0hltVo
“He’s in bed.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1tr1HyZZ2
“It was nice to meet you,” Kat replied.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA8f71OKLL
“You too. Here.” She gave Kat Hope, whom Kat took, before Freya left.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb3vOy00Ht
Kat looked at Caroline. “I know you have no experience, but take Hope. I need to see Elijah. My last memory of him can’t be the breakup. Please. I don’t want him to die alone.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANH6eTsUcR
Caroline took Hope, not knowing what the hell she was supposed to do.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt35JFdvrLK
Kat looked at Andre and Merle. “There’s plenty of Bourbon here and probably some human food too. Help yourselves.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVILGv5KmL
Kat went upstairs, while Merle helped himself to a bottle of Bourbon.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yF1cdZzkR
When Kat entered his room, she saw Klaus seated on his bedside, obviously staying with him until the very end.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz3IDsQNwq
She walked up to them and stood behind Klaus with a hand on his shoulder.. She didn’t think he’d attack her or anything, so she wasn’t afraid.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBl6hOAmEi
“Katerina,” Klaus greeted, not looking at her. “I’m sorry. There’s nothing I can do.” He knew how much she and Elijah loved each other.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI4fMb8wIA
“I know. It’s not your fault. Caroline’s downstairs with a couple human friends we made. I should be the one to do it when the time comes.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkZQFKf4qS
“Thank you, luv.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvOLWwwd7D
She took her hand away and he vanished from sight. She then sat on his bedside, her hand on his right one and her other one gently on the left side of his face.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HFQ48i6Vy
“Katerina,” he greeted. “You’re here.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQoFw6nw1B
She smiled. “Of course I’m here. I love you, no matter what. You know what has to be done though.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9vjooH1wv
“I love you too, Katerina. I know. Don’t think that this is your fault. Think of it like this. You’ll be taking my pain away. Do me a favor, though. Look after what’s left of my family; Especially, Hope. She just lost her mother. I wish for you to take over as her mother.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNgXeszioX
“I will. I promise you,” she replied.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ08QvaYM4
He closed his eyes, ready for the inevitable.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzECIfvvDQ
They shared one last kiss, before she took the White Oak stake from on top of the end table, and staked him, killing him.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JmA44lMlG
Afterward, she slid to the floor, her back against the bed, her arms around her legs and head down, and cried. She didn’t want anyone to see her cry and never had. She’d never liked to show any weakness in front of anyone.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWVxQOZmxL
As Klaus mingled downstairs, getting to know Andrea and Merle, he and Caroline heard her crying her heart out. Care had never witnessed any weakness from Katherine, nor had she ever took her for the type of girl to break down after a loss. That was more of her style. She always hated someone to be hurting one way or another though, no matter who it was. She always felt like no one, no matter who it was, should have to deal with anything alone.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YueF4I2nk
“I should make sure she’s okay. Take her,” Caroline told Klaus, always being a good samaritan.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcgmwAgmjA
He took Hope. “Of course, luv,” Klaus replied.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFsc18iyok
Care blurred upstairs and walked into Elijah’s former room, closing the door behind herself. She then sat on the floor next to the grieving human, an arm around her in comfort.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ruLRkVqu
“I’m sorry, Katherine,” was all she could say.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtpEteRd5Y
Katherine let her try and comfort her, though nobody had ever done that before. She was glad that unlike others, she wasn’t trying to tell her that everyone would be okay, because in this world, nothing was okay. She was also glad for the comfort and wasn’t surprised, knowing how much Care hated people being in pain.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP4vCmbvL4
After what felt like a while, she finally was able to get control over herself and stop crying, which she did. She then lifted her head and wiped her eyes.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFoNWDxbGr
“How about you go to bed. It’s been a while since either of us have slept,” Caroline suggested.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo5J483P79
“Good idea. Elijah would want us to stay rested and wanted me to take care of his family, so that’s what I’ll do. He wouldn’t want anyone to give up, either.”712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLRRtPvvlD
A few minutes later, Elijah’s body was taken care of and Kat was asleep in Elijah’s bed. The others were asleep too, Merle and Andrea in separate guest rooms and Hope in her room, while Klaus and Caroline were asleep in Klaus’ bed after making love. They were finally together.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHC2f1oHVe
712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSJtvBsGOh
712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY7DfkRmdy
A month later, after everything that had happened, Merle and Andrea hooked up and Kat slowly healed from the loss of Elijah. Hope was a part of that healing and for once in their lives, she and Klaus had bonded and became friends.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf3XPzAE0K
712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9biVTSxybR
712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cOD7f6ZKN
Years later, when all the walkers died out from hunger and being killed by survivors, things began to get back to how they were before the walkers. So those who were survivors, lived as happily as they could. Kat even reunited with her vampiress daughter, Nadia, and Damon was one of those survivors as well as Andrea, Merle, Kat, Hope, Caroline, Klaus, Davina, Kol, and Rebekah.
