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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyoLfGrb9e
“Who are you?” Katherine asked her.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywngi9Gyqo
“My name is Nadia Petrova and you are my mother,” she said.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI6X5x1ZMD
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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Rp9sK8qi

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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj99992ehM

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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdmTkXjzZI
No, he thought to himself.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13lihHBo5M
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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrjo6XoiMD
“Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her, not knowing how she was human or if she could digest vampire blood.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnds97U90A
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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdx775D0T4
“Elijah?” she questioned weakly, very weak from blood loss.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmeMkQWzeT
“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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngT8MJbAJQ
“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.”630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCIeWfzbDK
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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBhUwj6lgA
As he gently slid an arm under her legs and his other under her, she began to go under.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFke6n9nNcX
“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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0FwhR5VOB
Elijah gently pulled her out of the wreckage and picked her gently up in his arms, before blurring towards the Mystic Falls hospital.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG9eGX5S3v

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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljpEAWuJwV
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5MwHlaaMP
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15zVAPW1mC
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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrul3OSOli
She smiled back.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X1sqvM1g7
“You saved my life. Thank you.”630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9ihsSxxjy
“I will always save you, Katerina, no matter what,” he replied.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcOMzqDAaz
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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrx412IX7N
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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda8x1DXKac
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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59pAFAiejy
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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtbz3N9pSf
When Nadia heard a noise, she went to investigate and found her on the floor.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdaPcrNgQf
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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI2M7tQNNI
As she fell to the ground below, she hoped Nadia and Elijah would forgive her.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxOE642Ecb
When she felt like someone had caught her, she opened her eyes to see Elijah.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡindBJDXnaY
He set her on her feet.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzGDjSp93q
“What are you doing, Katerina?” he asked of her.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMJHF49uzC
She knew he met to be asking why she would be committing suicide, when he was here for her.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL6dgGuon2
“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.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrH5fpFWtP
“I promise you, Katerina, we will find a way. We always do,” he replied.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE9Pg5CNL8
“Then save me,” she said.630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NBjiURPfH
“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.
