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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8hrIGTkdc
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9PD4ckqlS
She walked towards them.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxxo4v6rck
"Katerina?" Elijah questioned, seeing her.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f4wdYdgs4
"I need your help," she told him.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZENwiRGNWj
"This isn't the time or place, but we'll discuss this later."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQx4ZrSnFH
"What happened?" she questioned.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8NsIoR9tK
"Someone sent a suicide bomber out here," Hayley informed her.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtH1bjsiqr
"Why would someone want to kill werewolves?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1V31xjtdV
"I don't think they planned it like this. Whoever it was, has to be targeting me and my unborn child."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyT8FhT7kF
"You're pregnant?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd6Pnb46jz
"I guess you haven't heard. I'm carrying Klaus' "miracle" child, as the wolves call it."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc51dnbLhWu
"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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUGkEicdcw
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfSgFaEIJX
Eve stood up and looked at her.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYiOTCyUIN
"Katherine; nice to see you again. I wish it was under better circumstances, though," she greeted.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK3Ny3gM8d
"It's nice to see you, too. What can I do to help?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8okT3aVlxQ
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qr96qBYE2
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvRruTejd3
"We've been banished. We can't enter the French Quarter."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkPtYw6UV5
"I'm sure the Originals will have something to say about that. Go make the cure. I'll do what I can."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1LSuMqRLT
"Thanks, Katherine."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0WbaVpySF
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMWNELBAvJ
"Don't be afraid. It was just an explosion. Everything will be okay. What's your name?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcIpaHvbaB
"Sydney."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o9Rt2YfyP
"William."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq2NwBO30J
"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?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbjDsHyY7S
"What?" they asked.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruInwO0PCZ
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORK4zkrYjM
The children listened to her and then Sydney had to ask, "Where's your ma'ma?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x58a8SxJD
"She's one of the stars now."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxMXrgUxt8
Katherine gave them a smile and then went to comfort and tend to others.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JNbkXQpfO
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJoFquCdGc
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9p3b4vX8s
"Get them out of here. I need to help her," he told Hayley.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHQvAuDF1s
She knew who he was referring to.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBokho1kToe
"I'll meet you at the church."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1tWMDmTjl
Elijah left the wolves to find the love of his life, though she was his ex.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXGdYOZSH0
"Katerina!" he yelled, as he raced towards where she lay.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGme6GU8foi
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJbcOwCoBU
He gently pulled her into his arms and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiKM39GTii
"Stay with me, Katerina. I'm right here. I"ll protect you. Just stay with me," he said, not wanting to lose her.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpUQijB0HU
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjAHHvCiO4
She smiled and slowly sat up in bed.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODwD28S9Ce
"You saved me. Thanks."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhl5OduWFa
"Always and forever, Katerina," he replied with a smile.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsHvVYajKb
She smiled back.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU1VDeXQAw
A moment later, they were kissing.
