Summary: Set in Originals S1 ep "Fruit of the Poisoned Tree." Shortly after Elijah's undaggered and returned to his siblings, as well as after they've won the compound back from Marcel, Kat goes to New Orleans, having been bitten by a wolf and in need of the cure for it. Can she get to the compound in enough time? Can Elijah convince Klaus to cure her? If so, will she stay? After she and Elijah get back together, something similar happens to her that happened in the actual ep with Agnes and Hayley. Can Kat be saved? If she's saved, what will happen?
It was a dismal night, as Katherine headed for the Mikaelson compound, assuming since it had been a few weeks or so, that the Mikaelsons were back in their own home by now. She wasn't in good shape though, as she headed for the compound, so she could only hope she could get there on her own. She'd been bitten in Mystic Falls by a werewolf more than once, so she'd gotten herself to New Orleans. She needed Elijah so he could convince Klaus to cure her. However, everything was blurry and she was already quite weak.
As she continued trying to get to the compound, she put a hand on a brick wall, trying to stay on her feet, as well as keep going. She knew she was losing though, as everything began to go black. Then, a moment later, she was swimming in darkness.
Elijah was walking after leaving the only bar in the French Quarter, but stopped when he smelled the scent of Katerina nearby. He hadn't known she was in town, so it surprised him that she was. Unless she needed something, he didn't think she'd be in town. Needing to know why she was in town, he followed her scent trail.
Half an hour later, when he saw her on her back on the ground, not far from an alley, he blurred towards her. He then knelt at her side, only to see the reason for her being in town. She'd been bitten quite a few times by a wolf.
He rested a hand on the side of her warm face.
"Katerina, can you hear me?" he called to her.
When he didn't get a response of any kind from her, he took his hand away from her face and gently picked her up, as he told her, "Stay with me, Katerina." Then he blurred home to the compound.
Forty minutes later, he was home and had just gently layed her down, when Rebekah appeared at the threshold.
"What the bloody hell?" she explained.
Elijah turned towards his sister. He knew she wouldn't be happy, since he knew how much she hated Katerina for being able to get away from Klaus.
"I expect you to behave yourself, Sister. She's been bitten. I need you to watch her while I get Klaus. Try not to kill her," he informed and asked of her.
Rebekah didn't want to be Katherine's babysitter, but when Elijah asked her to, she knew she had to.
She sighed, indicating that she clearly didn't want the job.
"Fine. Just don't take too long," she replied.
Satisfied with her answer, Elijah thanked her. Then left to go find Klaus.
After Elijah had gone, Rebekah went to the closest bathroom to get a couple cool wet washcloths so she could cool her down. No matter how long ago she'd been bitten, Katherine would still need cooled down.
The 500-year-old vampiress woke up a little to see where she was. She still felt weak and sweaty, though. And she didn't see Elijah. She assumed he was out convincing Klaus to save her life. She hoped he'd come back soon with Klaus, because she could feel how close she was getting to joining the Other Side.
