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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9GepRdY7J

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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaOLXwTyBl
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nuHEGIshh
She walked up to the door and knocked before walking in, closing the door behind herself.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqI7tKrh4h
“Damon?” she called.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPcnFHxoSv
She entered the living room, where she saw him by his drinking table, drinking from a bottle of Bourbon.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvFYXr4Eua
“In what universe do you have the right to be alive?” he said in the tone he always reserved for only her.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXnEVbuYV1
“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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmWIL1Lwwh
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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZj7tBNmzS
“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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUlJzTFBAf
“Thanks, but I’d rather take my chances here.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S1J0Pi8hd
She sighed. “Fine. Just be careful and good luck.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmLzbSjQCJ
He watched as she left.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuahX3v7Crx
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6PgAh9d30
She parked in front of the house and stood on the porch and knocked.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF3VU5SAJN
“Caroline?” she called through the door.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUbcIVJP14
“Get out of here. Just go,” she heard from by the door on the other side.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWTPoELbap
“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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeodJVf8SJL
Caroline didn’t like Katherine very much, but she’d seen enough zombie movies to know that Katherine was right.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg9jLlXtxx
She sighed. “Fine. I’ll come.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9wpYlcn1G
A few minutes later, Katherine was driving out of town, Caroline in the passenger’s seat.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP8epbtlhK
“Where are we going anyway?” Caroline questioned.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk16MEQMFl
“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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v4eOC6Oyi
“Makes sense,” Caroline replied, agreeing with her for once.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWd7MKTTKp
“Before we get there though, don’t be mad at Klaus, but I have to tell you something,” Kat informed the blonde.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0DL9M8Fp0
“What?” she asked, assuming that she wasn’t gonna like this.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6hz5czVNX
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3i8llbV3m
“That’s all I know,” she finished.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbyxADAgt6
“When’s the last time you heard anything from New Orleans?” she asked the former vampiress.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXdnpuEurM
“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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAFIJKZzaf
“I’m sure he’s okay,” she assured the brunette.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4GmTzdSWB
Kat was silent.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobAEQgZDAv
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gqTzMelqp
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloQA3OY8L0
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYSpgcPCov
Kat stopped the truck in front of them and rolled down the automatic passenger’s window, looking at them.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWm8B4H0XC
“Need some help?” she questioned.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMroH3wzNX
They looked at them.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuigzn03jzR
“We’ve got this, Sweet Cheeks,” the guy replied to her.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0o4hnTYFK
“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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZOeEhChqv
“We should go with them,” the blonde told him.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8AvpWBpta
“Fine,” he replied.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sT55aPAl3
“Great,” Kat said, and set the bag of weapons on the floorboard so there was space for them in the back.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxgjvmZ7ny
Once they were in, Kat continued the drive.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZdvdfiVQn
“I’m Katherine by the way and this is Caroline. Who are you two?”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XjjVrtEdA
“I’m Andrea and this is Merle. We’ve been looking for the group I got separated from. His brother, Daryl, is with them.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sh20OtoLz
“Well, nice to meet you. What did you do before the zombies happened?”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxX4XxQCd3
“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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorJ38tM2Wu
“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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0VYGjgILd
“I believe you. I’ve always been open-minded,” Andrea replied.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Px7ui282
“Thanks. What did you do before?” she said to Andrea, before asking Merle the question.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ9WyAzb39
“I’ll put it this way, Sweet Cheeks. I’m ex-military, but I also was in and out of jail a lot.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb7cOs7uHG
“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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5EPAcCKgn
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm6beKk7gv
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxdeYYnOfz
A week later, they made it to New Orleans.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfffWc4cfRB
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBy6t5UTpQ
“See if you can come in.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tks79tsw5
She tried but was barred.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZfVpb8h8z
“Let me call them so you can be invited in,” she told her, before calling loud enough for them to hear, “Anyone here?”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wwh1LjrQA
A blonde stranger holding a three year old girl appeared at the top of the stairs. “Come in.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtKIZUI7Ia
Caroline walked in and Kat closed the door.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zHL4z67wB
“Who are you?” Kat asked, once the girl was downstairs, standing in front of her.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63wEh64uEn
“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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E81SctTJa
“Well, I’m glad that you found your family. This little one must be Hope,” Katherine said with a smile.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY9m4zZ381
“Yes. And she’s all yours if anything happens to the last of us.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mchKfAPPj
“What’s that supposed to mean?”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRinTfu86Q
“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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5e5oq2qQm
“Where is he?” she asked, her worst nightmare happening.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvB5ynyH27
“He’s in bed.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDIOl6Blj1
“It was nice to meet you,” Kat replied.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA0agdYBxZ
“You too. Here.” She gave Kat Hope, whom Kat took, before Freya left.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJaZSf7uj4
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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JZ4Xb7JyF
Caroline took Hope, not knowing what the hell she was supposed to do.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKPdLrLDuf
Kat looked at Andre and Merle. “There’s plenty of Bourbon here and probably some human food too. Help yourselves.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wIz7K1ec9
Kat went upstairs, while Merle helped himself to a bottle of Bourbon.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxAMXlMllq
When Kat entered his room, she saw Klaus seated on his bedside, obviously staying with him until the very end.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMFyb0zlw8
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KpbC06g6J
“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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqxIbWWh36
“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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1KqKQCLk6
“Thank you, luv.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBOJIeqqfA
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunzpOJHc89
“Katerina,” he greeted. “You’re here.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WRS2aMAEp
She smiled. “Of course I’m here. I love you, no matter what. You know what has to be done though.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVSiQsNpSq
“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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFcjUrlb1a
“I will. I promise you,” she replied.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntE0xYXuQX
He closed his eyes, ready for the inevitable.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHzfn9ATvz
They shared one last kiss, before she took the White Oak stake from on top of the end table, and staked him, killing him.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07e7pd86AI
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ6sRQfuMQ
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8NPhdYesf
“I should make sure she’s okay. Take her,” Caroline told Klaus, always being a good samaritan.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu67BjawAQD
He took Hope. “Of course, luv,” Klaus replied.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrUzJ3cSMG
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpppOiz2cOQ
“I’m sorry, Katherine,” was all she could say.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX4XxcErTg
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO6WC4PXtd
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrMAzdw3Vs
“How about you go to bed. It’s been a while since either of us have slept,” Caroline suggested.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3gVjF9HSc
“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.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOJsMEzwRM
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiumo3NiwGn
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtYCpdKTG2
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH82D0j11lc
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFKkNVmSPC
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ24xyHKGqz
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2sB32egCb
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.
