The Sad Story Of Katerina Petrova/Katherine Pierce
My name is Katherine Pierce, formerly known in Bulgaria as Katerina Petrova and I am a vampire. I was born into a wealthy Bulgaria family under the name of Katerina Petrova on June 5th, 1473 where I lived in a village like any human.
In 1490, when I was seventeen years old, I became pregnant with an unknown man's baby. Because of that, my family disowned me for the shameful birth of an illegitimate daughter. I carried the child to term, but seconds after my daughter's birth, my father took her away, claiming it would be better for both of us if we never saw each other. You see, illegitimate children weren’t welcome in those days. I was devastated by this and tried to get my father to reconsider, saying, “Pa ‘pa, please!”, but as he walked away with her, he said, “No! You have disgraced this family!” I felt like my life had shattered. And to top it off, I was banished to England. There, I quickly learned to be English.
In 1492, when I met Lord Elijah, Lord Niklaus, and Lord Trevor my life changed completely. After I met them, I thought they were gentlemen. Niklaus even kissed my hand. Trevor was the most polite, because he developed a crush on me.
Later, I found out what his family is and that I was Klaus’ doppelganger. I ran from him, but Trevor found me in the woods. He told me to run to a cabin and tell her who had sent me. Rose let me in and compelled the old woman that owned the cabin, to bring me food and water. And after I had been fed and had had water, Rose locked me in one of the bedrooms. I took my dagger and cut my wrists, so I would die, instead of being brought to Klaus by Rose. But she smelled my blood and forced her blood down me. I gagged, and she went over to speak to Trevor. Trevor wanted me to live, but Rose was looking out for her and Trevor’s well-being. She told him that “whoever double crosses Klaus always ends up in his debt.” Trevor argued that he loved me. Then I saw a length of rope and hung myself.
When I awoke, I was on the bed with an overwhelming hunger. I was in transition to become a vampire. I was so thirsty, and my feelings were heightened. Trevor asked me why I did it and told me he would’ve helped me escape. I told him that he would’ve helped me run.
When Rose came at me with a stake to try and kill me, I pushed the old woman in front of me. Rose staked her, instead. The blood was so much that I couldn’t resist. So, I fed on the woman’s neck and tossed her to Rose. I apologized before fleeing.
When I arrived back at my village in the latter months of 1492, I found all the villagers and my family dead; slaughtered. When I saw my ma’ ma’s body, I wept over her for what seemed like an hour. Then I ran from Bulgaria and stayed in England until I was banished after they found out what I am.
In 1498, after escaping from Klaus, I returned to Bulgaria for my long-lost daughter whom was eight at the time. I searched every village and cottage that I could find but had no luck in finding her.
When I came to America, I changed my name to Katherine Pierce and went to live in Mystic Falls, Virginia in 1864, where I told them that my parents were killed in a fire and I was an orphan. Mr. Giuseppe Salvatore, Stefan and Damon's father, took me in. So, I lived in the Salvatore boarding house and met Stefan. I fell in love with him, as he did with me. Then I met Damon after he came home from war to see his little brother. He had been fighting on the south side. Damon fell in love with me, as did I with him.
Not long afterward, I told Damon and Stefan what I am. Because Stefan was so afraid of me, I compelled him not to be afraid of me. I couldn't have people in Mystic Falls knowing that I'm a vampire. And then Stefan made a big mistake by telling his father what I am. That led to the vampire raid. I was captured, but Damon and Stefan got me out. And then their father killed them, resulting in them waking up in transition.
When they did awake, they saw the church fire and thought I was dead. But little did they know, I had a Lockwood on my side. George Lockwood helped me escape Mystic Falls in exchange for the moonstone that I still had in my possession. He helped me by helping me fake my own death.
Throughout the centuries, I watched Damon and Stefan from a distance. I made sure they were safe.
When I came back in 2009, I watched them from a distance. I wanted Stefan back. And then I saw the doppelganger. Elena Gilbert. I pretended to be Elena, which caused Damon and Stefan to go insane trying to figure out who was Elena and who was me at times. At the time, Stefan and Elena were together, but I wanted Stefan back. I felt like, in my absence, my doppelganger had taken him away from me. In the midst of trying to get back at Elena and trying to get Stefan back, I cut off John Gilbert's hands, turned Caroline Forbes, Liz Forbes' daughter and one of Elena's best friends, into a vampire, and other things I don't care to mention.
In 2010, after Tyler Lockwood's Uncle Mason came to town, Mason and I worked together so I could get the moonstone back. But then Damon killed Mason when he found out that Mason was a spy for me. And then Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes found out what one another are and, despite all odds, fell in love and stayed together. Then Tyler went through his very first transformation into a werewolf with the help of Caroline. And just so you know, John Gilbert was Elena's biological father, while Isobel was Elena's biological mother. Then, a little while later, John set a plan in motion to kill all vampires but didn't succeed. Elena, Alaric, Stefan, and Bonnie stopped him. John just couldn't see Elena's view point on vampires. All he saw was what he was taught from a young age; to destroy all vampires. Also, just so you know, Bonnie is Elena's other best friend and a Bennett descended witch.
About a month later Elijah, Trevor, and Rose came to town. Elijah came on behalf of Klaus to collect his doppelganger, Elena Gilbert. Trevor and Rose took her hostage to take her to Elijah when he came. It was to get out of debt with Klaus for Trevor helping me when I was human. Elijah let Rose go but killed Trevor. The Salvatore brothers then came to Elena's rescue and took her home after staking Elijah. Obviously, that only killed him temporarily.
When Klaus came to town, I quit with my games, so I could keep a low profile so that Klaus wouldn't kill me. I know I should've left town, but I didn't. I wanted to know what the hell Klaus was up to this time around. And then I found out that he was in town to find Elena Gilbert. He started trouble for us, all because he wanted to find Elena, so he could use her in the ritual to break the curse his mother, Esther, put upon him. And after the ritual, John gave up his life so that when Elena awoke, she would not become a vampire once so ever, since Damon force fed her his blood before the ritual, not trusting Elijah's elixir. But before he did, he left a note for Jeremy and Elena so that they would end on good terms. And after the ritual, Jules and Elena and Jeremy's Aunt Jenna were all dead. So, a few days later, they had a funeral for their Aunt Jenna.
In 2011, we all attempted to kill Niklaus Mikaelson, but it didn't work, so I left town to save my own ass from being crushed by Klaus. So, I made my way to New York and stayed there for a while until Damon, vampire Elena without her humanity on, and Klaus' only sister Rebekah, came to New York in search of me since I had the cure for vampirism after awakening Silas and killing Elena's brother Jeremy Gilbert. But then I tricked them and handed the cure over to Elijah. I trust him with my life always and forever.
When I arrived back in Mystic Falls, Virginia in 2012, Silas was messing with everyone's minds. He even got inside Klaus' head, making him think that he was dying with a piece of a White Oak stake still inside him. And then, around the time of Elena's graduation, I was mad at Bonnie for not giving me the cure back to me, so I took out on Elena and almost killed her. In order to survive, she forced the cure down my throat which made me human. And during this same time, the Originals left town, but before Elena and I had a face to face fight in the high school hallway, Elijah said his good-bye to me and kissed me on the cheek before he left to join Niklaus, his only living brother. Soon after, Rebekah followed to make sure Elijah was okay.
At the end of 2012, I tried to commit suicide, but Stefan caught me before I could finish falling from the clock tower in Mystic Falls. And that's when I finally told him what happened to me. So, despite how much Damon has tried to keep his word that he would protect me from Silas, it will never work. Especially, when he actually fed me to Silas himself to bring Bonnie back to life. Now Bonnie is alive and so is Jeremy. And no matter how much I try, I will never be able to defeat or stop time from killing me faster than normal. I am rapidly dying of old age each day. Damon and Elena don't even know it. But there is one thing that has brought me some happiness and peace deep down through recent events. My daughter that I searched for when she was eight years old, now I know as Nadia Petrova, found me. She has left town, though and when I was on my way to find a traveler to see if the traveler could help keep me alive longer, I hadn't even gotten half way down the stairs at the Salvatore boarding house when I had a heart attack.
Currently, in the year of 2013, I am in the hospital still alive, but I am still dying.

Fight Song (Kalijah)
*Mikaelson Mansion*
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
Elijah and Katherine stood in front of each other at the Mikaelson place. He'd just told her that he was leaving town to follow Klaus to New Orleans to help Klaus with the witches.
"Elijah, please. It's our turn," she reasoned, pleading with him to stay.
"Katerina." He kissed her on the forehead. "Goodbye, Katerina."
A moment later, he was gone.
*Pennsylvania-Night*
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream 'em loud tonight
Can you hear my voice now?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Katherine stood in front of Elijah that night on a sidewalk. She needed to earn his trust back, she knew, so she knew one thing that could help give her some points.
"What do you want?" he asked, irritated.
"To tell you that you're right. I've spent so much time running and lying just to survive that I—I'm starting to believe my own lies. I don't even remember who I was when we first met. And I want to find out." She took the cure out of her purse.
"You have the cure."
"Yes, and I can shove this down Klaus' throat and try to kill him, but even if I managed to do it, I'd lose you. And I don't want that to happen." She set it in his hand. "I need you to trust me. 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."
He silently watched, as she walked away.
*1492-Bulgaria*
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep, say
I'm in too deep
And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
I still believe
Yeah I still believe
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Katerina Petrova knelt by her mother on the bed. She'd just found her slaughtered village. She knew this had been Klaus' doing. He was the only person that she knew that could do something like this. As she knelt by her mother, she wept over her.
*Fifty Shades of Grayson*
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me
It was a dark night, as a human Katherine Pierce spoke to Nadia over the phone.
"I'm Katherine Pierce. I survive." She hung up after that but then, a moment later, she dropped the bag that was over her shoulder and phone, feeling a pain travel up her arm and towards her chest. She put a hand on her chest, and then everything went black.
*500 Years of Solitude*
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
Katherine was on a bed with doctors trying to revive her after her heart attack, as Caroline called Elijah, knowing how much he cared about her, and probably still loved her. She knew it sucked to die alone, and she wanted Elijah to know what was happening to her. The doctors didn't think she'd make it, so Caroline thought that it would be best that Elijah know so he could come say goodbye, or maybe even find a way to save her life. Katherine deserved to have someone with her that cared about her.

Now I've got a lot of fight left in me
A few hours later, Elijah was seated on her bedside, having been informed by Caroline what all had happened to her. Katerina had been revived after about twenty minutes, but she wasn't out of danger quite yet. The doctors didn't think she'd make it through the night, but he knew better. She was a fighter, human or not. She'd make it through. He could only hope, though. Knowing what was happening, he wished that he had stayed, or at least asked her to come with him, instead of leaving her. Maybe if he had stayed, or asked her to come with him, maybe she never would have gotten the cure shoved down her throat. Maybe she'd still be a vampire and very much alive, instead of here in the hospital, fighting for her life, because he wasn't there when she needed him to stay.
He rested a hand on one of hers, and his other one on the side of her face, as he waited for her to awaken.
"I'm here, Katerina. You're not alone," he said, though he didn't know if she could hear him or not.
A few days later, she woke up, and she and Elijah got back together again.

Say You’ll Remember Me (Kalijah)
*500 Years of Solitude*
He said, “Let’s get out of this town.
Drive out of this city, away from the crowds.”
I thought heaven can’t help me now
Nothing lasts forever, but this is gonna take me down
He’s so tall and handsome as hell
He’s so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
It was a beautiful day, as a human Katherine lay in bed, dying of old age. She was lost in memories, as she lay there. She felt like she was ready to die though. After the life she’d led as a vampire, it was only right for it to finally be her time. Besides, there was no way out. She couldn’t be fixed, because time was finally catching up with her and she would be going where she knew she deserved to go. She would either find peace on the Other Side, or she would be going in another direction due to all the sins she’d committed as a vampiress. She was fated not to live long as a human. If there was a way to stop it, she would, but she didn’t have a choice in the matter. Nadia would have to live the rest of her vampiress life without her and try to be happy, because Katherine knew that she would never get to spend a long enough life with her daughter.
*England- 1492*
My one condition is
Say you’ll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your
Wildest dreams, ah-ha oh,
Wildest dreams, ah-ha oh.
It was a dismal night, as Katerina Petrova stood by a table of food. She was soon introduced to Klaus and Elijah and gave a bow to both of them.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” she said.
“My pleasure,” Elijah replied.
Klaus took her hand and kissed it. When she called him Niklaus, he said, “Please. That’s what my mother calls me. Call me Klaus.”
She gave a smile at them both but was more intrigued with Elijah. She felt like she could trust him, even though they had only just met.
*Tomb*
I said, “No one has to know what we do.”
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound
She looked at him from within the tomb, when she saw him appear. She didn’t know what his intentions were, but she knew that half the time his loyalty was to Klaus, so she was indecisive whether she could trust him or not. She didn’t know in this century what he wanted or what he was doing in Mystic Falls.
Elijah sensed what she was feeling and said to her, “I’m glad you have a good sense to be frightened, Katerina.”
*American Gothic- Mikaelson Mansion*
Nothing lasts forever but this is getting good now
He’s so tall and handsome as hell
He’s so bad but he does it so well
And when we’ve had our very last kiss
My last request is
Say you’ll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your
Wildest dreams, ah-ha oh,
Wildest dreams, ah-ha oh
Katherine and Elijah stood in front of each other, Katherine not knowing what Elijah would choose. But then he informed her that he was leaving town to help Klaus in New Orleans. She didn’t want him to leave, but she couldn’t do much. There was only one thing she could do to try and make him stay.
“Please, Elijah. It’s our turn,” she pleaded.
“Katerina,” he said. He kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye, Katerina.”
She watched, as he walked away.
*American Gothic- Day*
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
You’ll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
Elijah and Katherine stood in front of each other, half talking and half arguing with one another.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he needed to know.
“No. Of course, you’re not a means of survival. You looked out for me when I had no one. You’ve given me a second chance now, when no one else will.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “I love you. Elijah.” She put her hand down when he turned his face away. “You don’t believe me.”
He looked at her.
“I want to. It’s my disease. I just keep wanting to believe you, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you? I don’t know you. I don’t think I ever will.”
She watched for a moment, as he walked away, before catching up with him and putting a hand on his arm, stopping him.
“Wait.”
He looked at her hand, then her, then her hand again, and finally her once more.
She got the hint and let go.
“Goodbye, Katherine.”
She could only watch, as he walked away.
*Mikaelson Estate- 1492*
Say you’ll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just pretend
Say you’ll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your (just pretend, just pretend)
Wildest dreams, ah-ha ho
In your wildest dreams, ah-ha ho
(even if it’s just in your wildest dreams) ah-ha
In your wildest dreams, ah-ha
It was a beautiful day on the Mikaelson estate, as Elijah and Katerina played chase. She stopped running and gave a laugh, saying, “You’re meant to catch me.”
He stopped as well and replied, saying, “Well, if I catch you, then the game will be over.”
They gave a smile at each other, before going to sit on a cement bench.
He said, “Let’s get out of this town.
Drive out of this city, away from the crowds.”
I thought heaven can’t help me now
Nothing lasts forever, but this is gonna take me down
He’s so tall and handsome as hell
He’s so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
It was a beautiful day, as a human Katherine lay in bed, dying of old age. She was lost in memories, as she lay there. She felt like she was ready to die though. After the life she’d led as a vampire, it was only right for it to finally be her time. Besides, there was no way out. She couldn’t be fixed, because time was finally catching up with her and she would be going where she knew she deserved to go. She would either find peace on the Other Side, or she would be going in another direction due to all the sins she’d committed as a vampiress. She was fated not to live long as a human. If there was a way to stop it, she would, but she didn’t have a choice in the matter. Nadia would have to live the rest of her vampiress life without her and try to be happy, because Katherine knew that she would never get to spend a long enough life with her daughter.
*England- 1492*
My one condition is
Say you’ll remember me
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your
Wildest dreams, ah-ha oh,
Wildest dreams, ah-ha oh.
It was a dismal night, as Katerina Petrova stood by a table of food. She was soon introduced to Klaus and Elijah and gave a bow to both of them.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” she said.
“My pleasure,” Elijah replied.
Klaus took her hand and kissed it. When she called him Niklaus, he said, “Please. That’s what my mother calls me. Call me Klaus.”
She gave a smile at them both but was more intrigued with Elijah. She felt like she could trust him, even though they had only just met.
*Tomb*
I said, “No one has to know what we do.”
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound
She looked at him from within the tomb, when she saw him appear. She didn’t know what his intentions were, but she knew that half the time his loyalty was to Klaus, so she was indecisive whether she could trust him or not. She didn’t know in this century what he wanted or what he was doing in Mystic Falls.
Elijah sensed what she was feeling and said to her, “I’m glad you have a good sense to be frightened, Katerina.”
*American Gothic- Mikaelson Mansion*
Nothing lasts forever but this is getting good now
He’s so tall and handsome as hell
He’s so bad but he does it so well
And when we’ve had our very last kiss
My last request is

Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your

I’d Always Come For You (Kalijah)
Just one more moment
That’s all that’s needed
Like wounded soldiers
In need of healing
Time to be honest
This time I’m pleading
It was a beautiful day in an alley in New York, as they stood in front of each other, half arguing and half talking.
“Is that what I am to you? A means of survival?” he questioned.
“No. Of course, you’re not a means of survival. You looked out for me, when I had no one. You’ve given me a second chance now, when no one else will. I love you.” She rested a hand on the side of his face. “Elijah.” He moved his face away, and she dropped her hand. “You don’t believe me.”
“I want to. It’s my disease. I just keep on wanting to believe you, but how can I when, at every turn, you give me a reason to doubt you? I don’t know you. I don’t think I ever will.”
She felt helpless and desperate to make him stay with her, but knew she couldn’t, as she watched him walk away.
That night, when she handed the cure over to him, that was the first sign of trust that she had been willing to give him, and that he hadn’t seen in a very long time. As she had told him, he didn’t even owe her anything. She was letting him choose where they stood with their relationship.
Please don’t dwell on it
‘Cause I didn’t mean it
That night, Elijah chose to follow Klaus to New Orleans, so he told her goodbye and kissed her on the forehead.
After he had left, she was heartbroken and angry and, thinking Elena had said something to Elijah that had screwed everything up, Kat tried to kill her, but she got the cure shoved down her throat, turning her human.
Six months later, she died and was taken somewhere that wasn’t the Other Side. It was a hellish prison world.
I can’t believe I said I’d lay our love on the ground
But it doesn’t matter ‘cause I made it up
Forgive me now
Every day I spend away
My soul since I love
Gotta be some way I can make it up to you now
Somehow
It was a dismal night in New Orleans, as Elijah walked, heading for home after a few drinks. He was unhappy at Niklaus for everything but was staying due to the prophecy and Aurora. She hated Elijah for compelling her not to go with them back then but hated Klaus for moving on.
He stopped, seeing a girl on the sidewalk. He hadn’t expected to see her in town as long as he and Klaus were here, nor had he expected her human. He knew she had to be human, smelling the blood.
By now you know that
I’d come for you
No one but you
Yes I’d come for you
But only if you told me to
I’d fight for you
I’d lie it’s true
Give my life for you
You know I’ll always come for you
I was blindfolded
But now I’m seeing
My mind was closing
Now I’m believing
He blurred across the street towards her and knelt at her side. He rested gentle hands on either side of her head and scanned with his eyes for what her injuries were. She was very pale, as he did so.
“Katerina, can you hear me?” he called to her. “Katerina,” he said, after a moment of nothing.
He gently picked her up in his arms and took her to the only working hospital, figuring she was human due to the cure, and not knowing if she could digest vampire blood.
“I’m so sorry, Katerina. Forgive me. Stay with me, Katerina. Please,” he said, as he blurred towards the hospital.
I finally know just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does
So if you’re ever lost and find yourself all alone
I’d search forever just to bring you home
Here and now I vow
By now you know that
I’d come for you
No one but you
Yes I’d come for you
But only if you told me to
I’d fight for you
I’d lie it’s true
Give my life for you
You know I’d always come for you
I’d always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there’s still life in me
No matter what
Remember you know I’ll always come for you
After the doctors had cared for her, he sat on her bedside, his hand in hers. He hated seeing her like this, but was thankful that she was at least alive, even if she wouldn’t be waking anytime soon. It would break him if he lost her of all people. He couldn’t let Aurora find out about her. She might use or kill her.
“Katerina, I don’t know if you can hear me, but I’m here. I’m not leaving. I will never leave you again. I promise. I never should’ve left. I hope you can forgive me someday.”
Yes I’d come for you
No one but you
Yes I’d come for you
But only if you told me to
And I’d come for you
No one but you
Yes I’d come for you
But only if you told me to
I’d fight for you
I’d lie it’s true
Give my life for you
You know I’d always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there’s still life in me
No matter what
Remember you know I’ll always come for you
You know I’ll always come for you
In the end, a few months after Klaus had disposed of Aurora by sealing her in the Garden, she woke up from her mild coma just fine, and she and Elijah got a second chance.
That’s all that’s needed
Like wounded soldiers
In need of healing
Time to be honest
This time I’m pleading

I Will Never Leave You Again (Kalijah)
*Present*
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
It was a nebulous night in New Orleans, as Katherine sat in the SUV she'd stolen and had accidentally wrecked. She'd injured herself in the process, too. She knew she had to stay awake until someone could rescue her, so she tried to concentrate on memories with Elijah.
*American Gothic*
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
It was a dismal night at the Mikaelson mansion, as they stood in front of each other.
"Please, Elijah. It's our turn," she begged.
"Goodbye, Katerina."
He kissed her on the forehead and then blurred off, leaving her standing there, fighting emotions. He'd literally broken up with her, even though she'd tried to show him that she trusted and loved him, but he'd left, technically throwing it back in her face.
*Present*
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Despite her efforts to stay awake, she couldn't. Her injuries were just too much, and she'd lost too much blood. Besides, she was so tired of running and fighting.
An hour later, Elijah was walking home, when he smelled blood and human, so he went to investigate.
Ten minutes later, after seeing an SUV crashed into a pole and that someone was still inside, he blurred over and opened the door, only to see a very human Katerina.
"Katerina?" he said, shocked to see her human, but got over it in a moment, and rested a gentle hand on the side of her face. "Katerina, can you hear me? Katerina," he called to her. Please. Not you, too. Stay with me, Katerina, he thought to himself.
He scanned for the injuries she had that he could see. He saw a shard of glass in her thigh and below her lower stomach. Her thigh had an opened artery, and there was blood on either side of her head. She was way too pale from blood loss, and he could barely hear her breathing. He could tell that she'd been here for at least an hour.
He put her arm around his shoulders and gently picked her up in his arms, blurring towards the hospital. No matter what, he couldn't lose her, but he knew he was every passing minute, as he blurred towards the hospital. And even if this was partly her own fault or someone else's, it was also his fault. He'd left and hadn't even called to be sure she was alive, or even okay. He should've known that leaving was the worst thing he could do to her.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the hospital and, after they put an insulator breathing mask on her to keep her breathing, and got an ivy in her, he could only watch as she was rushed down the hall into surgery.
As they cared for her, he paced in the waiting room, hoping for her to come through. She was a fighter, but she was human now. There was only a certain amount of time she could fight.
*1492*
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something, you can't replace
Tears stream down your face and I
Tears stream down your face
It was a dark night, as Katerina Petrova knelt by her mother and cried. She didn't grieve for her father, but her mother was a different story. They had been very close. Now, she and the rest of her village were dead. She was foolish to think that she would be free as a vampire. She knew now that she would never be free.
*Present*
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
A few hours later, she was in a recovery room, Elijah seated on her bedside, one hand on top of hers, and the other resting on the side of her face. He'd been told that she'd be okay, now that she'd survived surgery, and the blood she'd lost had been restored. It was just a matter of her waking up.
"Forgive me, Katerina. Whatever has happened, partly your fault or not, this is at least partly my fault, too. I never should have left, least of all, without calling. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. I'm right here, Katerina. I promise you, I will never leave you again."
The next day, she woke up and they got back together.
