Understanding (Kalijah)

        It was a dismal night in New Orleans in the woods, as Rebekah walked, in search of Hayley, while talking to Elijah to let him know what happened.

        Suddenly, smelling human blood and Katherine, she was directed to where an injured and human Katherine lay on her back, out cold, an ascendant in hand.

        “You better hurry up and get over here. Now,” she said, before hanging up.

        As she looked at her, she wondered what the hell had happened to her. Last she had seen her, she had been alive and a vampire. Now she was human and, seeing the ascendant, had come from somewhere that had put her in this condition. Despite the fact that she despised her, Katherine didn’t deserve what had happened to her. Despite everything, she didn’t want her to die, but if she didn’t help her, that’s what would happen. She didn’t have to see her injuries to know that.

        She approached and then knelt beside her and took the ascendant, before putting it in her jacket. She then looked down at her.

        “Katherine?” she called. “Can you hear me?”

        After a moment of nothing, she sighed.

        A moment later, Elijah appeared.

        “Katerina?” he said, seeing her.

        “I found her like this. I don’t know what happened, but I can take care of her. We just need to get her home,” she explained to her elder brother.





        Half an hour later, Elijah had layed her down on his bed and now watched, as Rebekah took care of her.

        After Rebekah had taken care of her, she put gentle hands on either side of her head to take a look.

        When she found her, she silently watched and began to understand her and know what had happened. It made her feel bad for her. She had had her daughter too young and couldn’t fight to keep her. Then they had been reunited, only for her to have to watch her die of a werewolf bite. Seeing her past made her understand why and how she had become who she was these days.

        After a chat with her, she knew why she wasn’t waking up. She had lost her only child and felt that Elijah didn’t care anymore. She felt that she had no reason to fight and just wanted to give up.

        She left her head and then stood and looked at him, before informing him of what she’d seen. She then said, “She feels that she lost everything. She doesn’t want to wake up. You need to talk to her. I’ll leave you two alone.”

        Elijah went to sit on her bedside and rested a gentle hand on her forehead, before going into her head. He saw everything his only sister had, but some of her past he knew. He hadn’t known about her daughter, though.

        “Katerina,” he said, once he found her.

        “Elijah?”

        “It’s me. Rebekah told me everything. I need you to wake up.”

        “And why would I do that? I’ve lost everything. You don’t even care anymore. You left.”

        “You haven’t lost everything. You still have me. Just because I left, doesn’t mean I stopped caring,” he assured her. “I still love you.”

        That gave her a smile.

        “I love you, too.”

        In the end, she woke up and they got back together again.
