It was a dismal night, as Katherine stood in front of Elijah.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PyvJlIcTB
“What do you want?” he said, his tone saying he didn’t want to talk to her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFRxhfExlh
“To tell you that you’re right. I spent so much time running and lying just to survive that I don’t—I’m starting to believe my own lies. I don’t even remember who I was when we first met. And I don’t want to find out.” She took a black box out of her purse.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROKWV20De7
“You have the cure,” he stated.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2vd5ACRok
“Yes, and I can shove this down Klaus’ throat and try to kill him, but even if I manage to do it, I’d lose you. And I don’t want that to happen.” She put the box in his hand. “I want you to trust me just like I’m trusting you. You don’t owe me anything. I’m going to let you decide where we go from here.”678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYKyy3wakP
He watched, as she walked away, before looking down at the cure in his hand.

It was a nebulous night at the Mikaelson place, as Elijah stood in front of her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3FSJHyujF
“Please, Elijah. It’s our turn,” she pleaded, Elijah having told her that he was leaving town to go follow Klaus to New Orleans.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcgOgeDHGJ
He kissed her on the forehead.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXgBzKNNQG
“Goodbye, Katerina.”678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4caJUWfhFT
As he walked away, she stood there with a shattered, broken heart.

It was a nebulous night, as a human Katherine sat in the driver’s seat in the wrecked car, injured. She’d been driving to wherever to keep distance between her and Damon. He’d tried having her go back to the boarding house to hand her over to Silas. She’d tried to run though and had rammed the car into a streetlight pole, wrecking the car and injuring herself.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfSEHfi7Kt
As she sat there, injured, she knew she was going to die if she didn’t get to the hospital, but she couldn’t go anywhere. Her human body didn’t want to go anywhere. Another reason was because she was too injured with blurred vision, as well as being stuck and in a lot of pain. She was stuck with what felt like a part of the car from the floorboard on her foot. It also felt like she had a sprained or fractured leg. She could feel her injured side, thigh, and possible dislocated shoulder. Plus she could feel blood on either side of her head and it felt as if she was losing a lot of blood.

Elijah Mikaelson was driving through Mystic Falls, looking for Katerina. He’d heard from Caroline what had happened so he was staying in town to keep her safe. That was his plan. He would protect her with his life.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKlbYI3vOD
When he saw the wrecked car and Katerina, he pulled over and once he got out, blurred to the wrecked car. When he had the door forced open, he could see that she was injured. There was blood on either side of her head, a shard of glass protruding from her side and in her thigh, and her thigh had an opened artery. It also looked like her shoulder was dislocated and her leg was possibly dislocated too.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnGDPscQM9
He rested a gentle hand on the right side of her head.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAlxmwRTBX
“Katerina. Can you hear me, Katerina?” he called to her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0SAr9QCrB
After a moment of nothing, he took his hand away and once her leg was free and shards of glass were out, he gently picked her up in his arms and blurred to his SUV and opened the passenger’s door. He then gently sat her in the seat and closed the door, before getting back in and driving towards the hospital to save her life. He didn’t dare feed her vampire blood, not knowing if she could digest it.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2tp1fX40C

Half an hour later, she was rushed down the hospital hallway, as Elijah watched silently. He could only hope that she would live. He didn’t want him saying goodbye to her to be the last memory he had of her. It couldn’t end like this.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVGYTBLFHS

Five hours later, after she survived surgery, he walked into her room and sat on her bedside, a hand on the left side of her face, waiting for her to come to.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhh0fYvmfE
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1eLDMZO8I
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2jW6ebIdh
An hour later, she woke up to see Elijah seated on her bedside with his hand on the side of her face, his other hand on top of her right one. That let her know that he’d saved her and she was relieved about that, though he’d left six months ago.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdMVxtx8ZY
She smiled.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdq0xyNseg
“You came back.”678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7DUxts7rw
He smiled.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gya2sFos1
“Of course I came back for you, Katerina. I’d do anything for you, no matter what.”678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR8Xfzwbex
“Well, thanks for saving my life. Are you staying?” she questioned, sitting up in bed.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmPCbJlTUj
“I am. I’m here to protect you, no matter what happens from this moment on,” he informed her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqFob7ZJIS
She smiled at that and he smiled back.
