Summary: Set in Originals S5 and VD some time after Kat was killed in S8. When Rebekah runs across a human Kat that escaped the prison world Ric's former students were put in, will she be a decent enough person to save her? If so, can the Originals work together to save her life? Will Kat live? If so, can Kat make a plan of action to imprison The Hollow, instead of allowing Klaus to die? Will Kat and Elijah get their happy ending at last?
It was a nebulous night, as a human Kat walked through New Orleans, heading in the direction of the compound. She'd just come from a prison world. She hoped she could make it there. She needed help. She'd been attacked by Alaric's former students. That, and one of them had toyed with her like she was prey. She didn't blame her, though. Her humanity was off. However, she almost wished that she'd been attacked by Kai. He'd just let it happen like it was some show, though.
Suddenly, as she got close to the street the compound was on, everything blurred. She knew it was from blood loss. And as she tried to keep going, she used a hand on a brick wall to guide her. Despite how much she tried to keep going though, she felt the ground after a few minutes. Then, as everything began to go gray and then black, she heard the voice of the only person that could save her without using vampire blood. The person that despised her the last time she'd been human.
Rebekah Mikaelson had been walking through the nearly empty quarter during the late hours, heading home, but then she stopped in her tracks. From a distance, she saw a human and alive again Katherine. One that was injured. Because she was alive, she assumed that she'd come from a prison world.
After a moment of debating on whether or not to save her, she blurred over to her and knelt at her side.
"Stay with me, Katherine."
The blonde put a hand on Katherine's that was on her bite wound. She then used her phone to call for help.
Elijah was in another section of the quarter with Klaus. Klaus didn't want to endanger anyone, so he was going to kill himself. Because of this, Elijah had already told him that he'd die with him. Before either of them could do anything though, Elijah got a call from Rebekah, which Klaus listened in on.
"I need help. Katherine's alive. I think she escaped a prison world. If you want her alive, I need assistance. She's been injured," she explained. "I'm by Bourbon Street."
"I'm on my way," Elijah told her.
"I'm coming with you. I'll help," Klaus said, as Elijah hung up.
Rebekah kept pressure on her neck wound, which looked like a vicious vampire bite, and looked at her other wounds. She could see werewolf claw marks on her. Although she'd never much liked her due to her being able to escape her brother when she couldn't, she knew that no one deserved something like this. Not even Katherine herself. So, for Elijah, she was willing to try and save her.
"Katherine, I need you to try and stay awake."
About twenty minutes later, Elijah appeared a distance away with Klaus. That's when they both saw the damage. As soon as they saw that, they both blurred to the scene. For Elijah, it was because even after everything, he still and would always love her with his whole being. For Klaus, it was because he didn't exactly want her dead anymore. When she'd died years ago when she'd been human dying of old age at a rapid pace, his vendetta against her and hatred had left him for good. He'd never forgotten about her, though. He couldn't. And a part of him had always wondered since then where she'd ended up at afterward, knowing that the Other Side was non-existent. Now, seeing her, he knew where she'd been. He'd kept tabs on certain events in Mystic Falls, so he knew that her coming from a prison world meant that she'd had to come up against a werewolf and vampire, both of whom had turned out differently, because Alaric had been afraid to let them loose into the world after the mistakes they'd made. He also knew that there was someone else in that prison world. Someone that was a lot worse than himself and vampire Katerina.
