I Need You (Kalijah)

        It was a dark night as Elijah Mikaelson, the eldest Original sibling, watched Hayley Marshall from the balcony from his bedroom silently, as the pregnant werewolf sat on a bench and looked into the distance.

        Suddenly, his phone went off.

        He took it out of his suit pocket and saw it was Katerina.

        “Katerina,” he greeted.

        “Elijah,” she greeted back, not sounding like his usual Katerina.

        “What’s wrong?”

        “I need you. I’m dying. The cure got shoved down my throat. Since I turned 500 years ago, it’s killing me. Time is catching up with me.”

        “I’m coming,” he said, before hanging up. He then went to his sister’s room where she was seated on her bed reading a girly magazine.

        “I have to go. I’ll be back shortly.”

        She set the magazine down and looked at him.

        “Go where?”

        “Mystic Falls. Katerina’s dying. I won’t be long. I’ll be back with her. Take care of Hayley.”

        Before she could say anything else, he was gone.





        An hour later, he walked into the room that she was in, to see her lying on her back in bed, a girl at her bedside whom he had never seen before. Katerina looked how she had the first time she was human, but yet she didn’t. He knew it was because she was dying and human. But it didn’t matter how she looked. He loved her all the same.

        “Nadia, this is Elijah. Elijah, this is Nadia. She’s my daughter. She found me after looking for me for less than 500 years,” she introduced them.

        “Nice to meet you. I’m glad Katerina has someone close to her other than myself,” he told Nadia. He then looked at his love life and said, “If you’d like, I could take you home with me. We can figure something out. I have to get home as soon as I can.”

        “Thank you, Elijah. I’d love that.”

        She looked at her daughter.

        “Nadia, if you want, I’d love for you to come with me. After all, I did promise you that we’d leave this town as soon as we could. This is your chance to go somewhere you’ve never been before.”

        “I’ll accompany you then. I’ll see what New Orleans has to offer.”

        Elijah strode over to her bedside and Nadia stepped out of his way.

        He gently picked her up in his arms and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

        A moment later, he vanished from the room with her, Nadia at his right side, heading for New Orleans. After all, it was much quicker to get there using vamp speed than a car.





        Once they arrived, he walked inside, invited Nadia inside, and headed upstairs. Then, once in a guest bedroom, he gently layed her down in bed and sat on her bedside, looking at her.

        “I never should have left you on your own, Katerina. I thought you’d be safe. I’m so sorry. Please, forgive me.”

        She rested a gentle hand on the right side of his face.

        “You didn’t know what would happen. Elijah, I will always forgive you, no matter what. I love you.”

        “I love you too, Katerina.”

        She took her hand away from his face.

        “You should go. You probably have something more important to do than to watch me slowly die. Besides, Nadia will be here to take care of me.”

        He got to his feet, and then lightly kissed her forehead.

        “I’ll be back later.”

        She watched, as he left.

        A moment later, Nadia came into the room and sat on her mother’s bedside.





        Later that day, they got Davina to do a spell to help Kat, which was successful, and Kat and Nadia stayed with the Originals in New Orleans.
