The Chronicles of Katerina Petrova and Niklaus Mikaelson: I Will Always...

Ch.10: Dance Back From the Grave

It was a beautiful day, as everyone stood outside the compound, looking at a couple dead vampires. Someone had been killing vampires left and right for the past day or two and nobody liked it. It was unnerving. The way they had been killed though, with that certain mark, and the way they looked, it made the Originals think of the guy that had been so hard to kill the first time around. He couldn't be alive again, though. Could he? Klaus had killed him himself. He had watched him die.

That night, though, when Klaus entered the bar, Cami was a little hurt and the guy he knew had been dead was very much alive and tried to kill Klaus. And as the guy tried to kill him, Klaus yelled out to Cami, "Run! Get somewhere safe!" Then, before he knew it, the guy had the tip of the weird-looking knife on his forehead and he felt himself start to desiccate.

Katherine walked into the bar to see the scene. She knew she was only human, but she had to do something. She had to save the father of her child. She couldn't just let him die, even if she did still hate him. So, she grabbed a piece of wood from a broken chair and plunged it as hard as she could through his back, which made him stop and let go of Klaus whom fell to the floor on his back.

The guy turned around to see her, but didn't say anything to her, before he left the bar silently.

She ran towards and knelt beside him.

"Klaus, it's me. Can you hear me? Klaus," she called to him.

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

She took it away and gently pulled him into her arms, before using a piece of wood to cut her wrist. She then put her wrist to his lips, making it go down his throat, knowing that he wasn't fully desiccated, which meant he was still alive.

When he woke up, he was in his room at home and in bed, Katerina at his side.

"Hey. You're awake. Welcome back," she greeted him.

"What happened?" he asked her, looking at her.

"I saved your life is what happened. You nearly died tonight."

"Thank you, Katerina."

"Anytime, Klaus."

The next day, they realized that Rebekah was MIA, so they all went in search of her, which ended when they finally found her and got her home.
