It was a nebulous night in an alley, as she stood not far from the vampiress after finding her after she’d grazed the vampire’s heart that day, thinking she was the enemy.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlMpNhuf0Z
“Who are you?” Katherine asked her.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF0BYgXENc
“My name is Nadia Petrova and you are my mother,” she said.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC73yQdHh8
Katherine looked at her silently, shocked that somehow, fate had intervened and brought her daughter back to her.

It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the driver’s seat, injured after the car crashing into a street light pole. She’d been trying to get away from Mystic Falls so that Silas couldn’t get to her, but had managed to crash a car that she’d stolen from a road.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixhBvWL9sL

Meanwhile, Elijah Mikaelson had just arrived back in town to check up on his Katerina. He’d ignored several of her calls this summer and recently, not wanting to speak to her or see her. She hadn’t left any messages, but now that she hadn’t been answering her phone when he called back, he was worried and had the feeling that something had or was about to happen. If something ever happened to her after he’d left her to fend for herself, he’d never forgive himself. She was his world and he loved her for who she was, no matter what. If she died while he was in New Orleans, he didn’t know what pieces of him would still be intact, if any would be left. It would shatter him into a million pieces if she were dead. Despite everything she’d done, he loved her. He loved both the good and bad parts of her, just as she did with him.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD0yfjZKTJ

Half an hour later, once on a desolate street, he saw a wrecked car that had crashed into a street light pole. He saw that there was still someone inside, but not moving. Due to smelling the mixed scents of human, blood, and Katerina, he knew who it was.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBFaGwmEpV
No, he thought to himself.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOw735SsTW
He vamp-sped to the driver’s side and forced the crinkled, dented, and jammed door open. He assessed her condition with his eyes and saw that there was blood on either side of her head, some scrapes and scratches, and her lower stomach was bleeding from a shard of glass protruding from it. He pulled the shard of glass out and tossed it on the floorboard, before gently resting his hands on either side of her head.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXksxFFdoDf
“Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her, not knowing how she was human or if she could digest vampire blood.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36JXtmOFdh
Hearing a familiar voice through the darkness that surrounded her, she fought against the darkness and when she woke up a few minutes later, she was met with Elijah’s worried face.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBby3ivNaX
“Elijah?” she questioned weakly, very weak from blood loss.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxubO5aYqJ1
“I came back to check on you, since you weren’t answering my calls back. I’m glad I did. Can you digest vampire blood?” he replied.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28OpbSlx2j
“I don’t know. Elena shoved the cure down my throat shortly after you left me, since I was upset and took it out on her and tried to kill her.”628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0APoy2f3g
He wasn’t happy that she’d tried to kill Elena nor was he happy that Elena had shoved the cure down her throat, but he didn’t show it.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXxWxA8Fjj
As he gently slid an arm under her legs and his other under her, she began to go under.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjW2JlxkT7
“You’re going to be okay, Katerina. Just stay with me. I’ll protect you, but you have to fight for me,” was the last thing she heard, before she plummeted back into the darkness.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxo8DwQ2Tm
Elijah gently pulled her out of the wreckage and picked her gently up in his arms, before blurring towards the Mystic Falls hospital.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznbGQwqLFY

After pacing in the waiting room for a few hours, a doctor finally came in to tell him that the surgery went great and she was in a recovery room, but she had a concussion, so it could be a day or so before she woke up. He thanked her and went to her room to stay with her. He knew Katerina. She was a fighter. It wouldn’t take too long for her to wake up. He figured anyway. He could only hope that the odds were in their favor.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EBuDnZh27

628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69RpMVNBkS
The next afternoon, when she woke up, he gave a smile, knowing that she’d be okay. He could only hope, anyway. The cure had been shoved down her throat. Since it had never been taken before, they didn’t know if there were any side effects to it.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTgiSfshIq
She smiled back.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe71JvUx4kM
“You saved my life. Thank you.”628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZgNpoBza5
“I will always save you, Katerina, no matter what,” he replied.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rUeBxaf2a
A moment later, they kissed.

It was a beautiful day at the Mikaelson mansion, as she lay in bed. She’d had a heart attack last night and now she was on bed rest until the very end, Nadia at her side. Nadia wanted her to live instead of letting herself die, but she had just found her weeks ago. She didn’t want to do that to her. She didn’t want to lose her, so she was choosing death.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgFcxEvMH3
After hours had passed, Elijah came to her bedside with a way to save her. He had a witch in New Orleans doing a spell that would reverse the dying of old age at a rapid pace side effect of the cure.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjAKVq8KoS
So, after the spell had been finished, she was a healthy human again.

It was a dismal night at the Mikaelson mansion, as Katherine went downstairs for a drink, Nadia in the parlor.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1AQXhyoKk
Once she’d cleared the stairs, she stopped, a hand on the left side of her chest, pain having travelled up her arm and all the way to her chest. It was like she couldn’t breathe. Then everything went black and she collapsed.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00uR0lm2w8
When Nadia heard a noise, she went to investigate and found her on the floor.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjMVcOqf4E
When she knelt by her, she realized that she’d had a heart attack. So, after getting her to the hospital, she told Elijah on the phone, who then said he’d be there as soon as he could.

It was a nebulous night, as Katherine closed her eyes, ready to end her suffering of dying of old age, not wanting to go through all of that. She’d been told by an expert on vampires that she can’t be fixed. She was aging and it couldn’t be helped. She then stepped off.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwQC6xdQ3D
As she fell to the ground below, she hoped Nadia and Elijah would forgive her.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1TvSKliXM
When she felt like someone had caught her, she opened her eyes to see Elijah.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZP5lJTV8p
He set her on her feet.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv80QGaPnM
“What are you doing, Katerina?” he asked of her.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxdvULk0Oj
She knew he met to be asking why she would be committing suicide, when he was here for her.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH3wS7Mybu
“Because I’m dying of old age and it can’t be stopped. I went to an expert. I don’t want the pain of dying of old age,” she explained.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKi3N6qNjV
“I promise you, Katerina, we will find a way. We always do,” he replied.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkonBZ7bX2y
“Then save me,” she said.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstWrWLzH6A
“You know I will,” he replied.

After Nadia died of Tyler’s bite at the Mikaelson mansion because she didn’t want Katherine to have to sacrifice anything for Klaus to cure her, all Katherine could do now was to sit by the bed on the floor and cry. Elijah was there, but all he could do was hug her in comfort. There were no words to say.
