Save Us (Kat, Niklaus, Rebekah, Elijah, and Hayley
Katerina
It’s a dark night in Mystic Falls, Virginia as I enter the boarding house. I’m human now, so I’m not exactly keeping track of my vampire family. No one’s in the living room, so I can only assume that Damon, Elena, and Stefan aren’t home right now.
I have just poured myself a shot glass of bourbon and am sipping it, seated on the couch, when my phone rings. I take my phone out and smile, when I see the caller ID.
“Elijah. This is unexpected. What’s wrong?” I say, knowing him being in New Orleans keeps him occupied. Plus, Elijah never calls me. That means something must be wrong.
“I need your help, Katerina,” he informs me. He then explains to me the Celeste and sibling problem he’s having. He explains that Niklaus and Rebekah have been taken and Celeste is behind it all. He also informs me that she used witch magic to put witch names all over his body.
“I’m coming. I’ll be there as soon as I can,” I answer. “But there’s something you need to know.”
“What is it, Katerina?”
“I need to let you know that I’m human. I got the cure shoved down my throat. Now I’m dying. When this is all over, I need a witch to help me.”
“Oh, Katerina,” is all he can say.
As I drive my SUV, I want to kill Celeste for what she has done to Rebekah. I don’t and never have cared about Klaus, but I do care about Rebekah. And as I drive, Elijah goes on to tell me that he doesn’t know what state Klaus is in, but a pack of werewolves bit Rebekah. I then ask him to name the names of the witches Celeste put all over his body. We then realize that there’s one witch not on his body.
“I know what she’s holding them. I’ll get them out of there. You stay and keep Hayley out of danger. I’ll meet you there as soon as I can. I love you, Elijah.”
“I love you too, Katerina.”
We hang up.
As soon as I arrive in New Orleans, I head towards the abandoned hospital. I have a feeling that Celeste has them there. The witch, Genevieve, was a nurse there and Rebekah helped her help the epidemic patients back in 1918.
When I enter the old hospital, I walk silently down the hallways, looking for them.
“Klaus?” I call for him. “Klaus, where are you?”
A moment later, I find him in a room lying on a slab of pavement.
I go to and kneel down at his right side.
“Klaus?” I gently call to him.
Nothing. He must be out cold.
I pat his left cheek, trying to wake him up.
“Klaus, wake up. It’s me. Can you hear me? Come on. You have to wake up.”
When he doesn’t, I realize that something is wrong. I then see that it looks like someone stabbed him with something. So, using my Traveler magic, I concentrate, closing my eyes, resting a gentle hand on his chest, and think about getting whatever it is, out of him.
A few minutes later, a knife is in my hand and his wound is healed. I then put the knife in my purse and get to my feet, before trying again.
“Klaus, wake up. Klaus,” I call to him gently.
A moment later, he groans, as he starts to come to.
Niklaus
When I wake up, I still feel weak, but I don’t feel the knife inside me. I then see Katerina.
“Katerina?” I question her.
“It’s me. I just saved your life.”
“Why?” I ask her, knowing that after everything I have done to her for the past 500 years, she would never help me, much less save my life. Unless she needs me for something, of course.
“Because Elijah called me. You should go. I have to find Rebekah.”
Even though I don’t have all of my strength back yet, I have the hospital without looking back. I know Katerina will find her and bring her safely home. Katerina is many things, but she doesn’t have it in her to do anything to my sister.
Katerina
When I find Rebekah, I run towards her and look down at her in worry. She’s out cold, sweaty, and on her back on a bed.
I take Klaus’ blood out of my purse and open the vial. I then sit on her bedside and sit her up against me gently. I then put the vial to her lips, making it go down her throat to cure her.
Once it’s finished, I set it down on the table by the bed. I then lay her gently back down on the bed and get off the bed, looking down at her.
Rebekah
When I wake up, I feel better than before I had blacked out earlier. I then see Katherine standing at my left bedside.
“Katherine?”
“It’s me. How do you feel?”
“Better. What the bloody hell are you doing here?” I question her, as I slowly sit up.
"Elijah called me and asked me for help in finding you and Klaus. If we hurry, we can catch up with me before he gets home. Plus, he’s still weak from what Celeste or whoever did to him. But there’s only me, and I can’t help both of you at the same time, so I told him to start heading home,” she explains.
“Then let’s get out of this God forsaken place,” I reply, getting to my feet.
It isn’t long before we catch up with Nik and get home, where we’re welcomed back by Elijah, Hayley, and Marcel. I then go fetch some blood bags, so I can get my strength back. I don’t look it, but I’m still weak from what I’ve just been through.
Niklaus
I turn to look at Katerina.
“Care to tell us why exactly you’ve come here, Katerina? You and me both know we don’t like each other. Why would you help me? Why come to New Orleans?”
“I already told you most of it when I rescued you. The other reason is that the cure got shoved down my throat. Now I’m dying. I need a witch to do a spell for me,” she replies.
Looking at her, I realize that she’s telling the truth. She’s human. She still looks young, but she has grown to having gray hair.
“Oh, Katerina,” I say.
I turn away from her and head for the stairs. I lean heavily against the railing, as I start to head up the stairs.
“Let me help,” she says, before putting an arm around me and helping me.
I silently let her, and we head for my room, stopping once I’m in my bed.
“I’ll get you some blood. You need your strength back and mine probably won’t taste good. That, and before Damon fed me to Silas, the cure was still in me. I don’t know if it still is or not, but I do know that I can’t digest vampire blood. If I can’t get a witch to help me, I’m a lost cause. So, if there’s a part of you that cares; a part that has some humanity, do me a favor. Promise me that you won’t kill Nadia if she comes here looking for me,” she says.
“Who’s Nadia exactly?” I ask her.
“My long-lost daughter. When Silas was alive, she kept me safe, even when I didn’t know who she was. She found me after less than 500 years of searching for me. She’s all I have left of my family, Klaus. I didn’t even know she was alive, because I couldn’t find her in 1498. I searched every village in Bulgaria, but she wasn’t there. I didn’t get reunited with my daughter for her to get killed by my greatest enemy. Please. Consider this my dying wish.”
I can tell that she’s practically begging me to spare her only child. So, knowing what I’ve cause her and what it feels like now to have a child, I decide to honor her wish.
“I promise you, Katerina, that not harm will come to Nadia, as long as my family and I exist,” I answer her.
“Thank you. I’ll be back with blood for you.”
A few minutes later, she comes back with a cup of blood and hands it to me.
I take it and start to sip it.
“I’ll be back later to see how you’re doing,” she says, before walking out of my room.
Elijah
When Katerina rejoins us and tells us the whole situation, it makes me wonder why she didn’t come to us sooner.
“I need someone to come with me in case something or someone tries anything.”
She looks between Marcel, Hayley, and I.
I’m about to volunteer, when Hayley speaks.
“The cemetery has a spell on it, so I should go. I’m the only one here that’s not a vampire or a hybrid.”
“Be careful,” I say.
“We’ll be careful,” Katerina promises me.
I watch, as she and Hayley walk off to go help Katerina.
Hayley
Katherine and I are silent, as we walk towards where the witches are at in the cemetery. I don’t like going back there where they threatened to kill my baby and myself a few weeks ago, but no vampire can enter or leave this cemetery. So, I’m stuck helping her. Besides, I’m probably the only one the witches aren’t afraid of and won’t kill.
We walk inside to see Monique by a table.
She looks at us.
“Who’s this? What are you doing here?” she asks me.
“Monique, this is Katherine. She needs help and you’re the only one that can help her,” I reply.
Katherine walks towards her until she’s in front of the table.
“I need you to do a spell for me. There has to be something you can do to stop me from growing old faster than usual. If not, maybe you can do what’s called the Immortal spell. My ally in Mystic Falls did it once. You should be able to, too. But only as a last resort. I don’t want to die. It’s too soon. I just got my daughter back. I don’t want to lose or leave Nadia again. I have her a promise that I will always be there for her, and I intend to keep that promise. Please,” she tells her.
After searching in spell books for a while, she does a spell which restores her how she was. It makes her a vampire again.
Afterward, she looks at Monique.
“Thank you.”
I follow Katherine out, glad to be out of there.
“So, you’ll be leaving then?” I ask her, as we head back to the Originals’ family home.
“Not right away, no. I need to know where Elijah and I stand first. I need to know if he’ll be going back. By the looks of things, he’ll be staying. Which means that Nadia will come looking for me here. If Elijah stays, I’m staying for good. Nadia’s feeling protective just like any child, so she’ll be coming to look after me. Even if she does though, I don’t have to worry. Klaus has given me a promise that he won’t kill Nadia. I made him promise, knowing I was dying. And considering I saved his and Rebekah’s life tonight, he owes me their lives. Klaus is many things, but he is not that much of a monster. He doesn’t break promises,” she explains to me.
Katerina
When we get home, Hayley goes to bed, and I stay in Elijah’s room with my favorite Original. I tell him everything and I decide to stay. So, we all live as happily ever after as we can, with Klaus and Rebekah getting their full strength back. Also, just as I predicted, Nadia comes to live with us and war between us and Celeste continues.
