Katherine felt ground underneath her as she came to, and then saw that wherever she was looked like Mystic Falls, but with no one populating it.598Please respect copyright.PENANATH9f7qs8Bb
"What the Hell?" She questioned.598Please respect copyright.PENANAELOxpVsTO0
There was a newspaper not far from her. She sat up and looked down at it at the date, which she read was April 22,1994.598Please respect copyright.PENANARRjFySOchu
She got to her feet and started walking, needing to know where she was. She knew she was dead and the Other Side had disintegrated, so why was she here? She needed answers and that's what she was going to get. She was Katherine and Katherine always got what she wanted, no matter what. It didn't matter if she was human or not.598Please respect copyright.PENANAhXOBFtxI4x

Once in the woods, she came upon something she recognized and knew what she had to do. She picked up the ascendant and set it up so it would work. Then, once there was an eclipse, she used magic to get transported out of there and to the real world.598Please respect copyright.PENANATAM3uGtwRP
A moment later, she found herself alive, human, and standing outside the Mikaelson family home in New Orleans.598Please respect copyright.PENANACTsvw5OTH4
She dropped the ascendant and walked inside to see everyone there, excluding her lover's elder brother, planning something, which she knew meant going to war. Elijah wasn't present, so she figured they were trying to get him back from an enemy. The only ones present were Klaus, Kol, Rebekah, Hayley, Marcel, Cami, Davina, and a child she guessed was the "miracle" baby she had heard about.598Please respect copyright.PENANA0ikC4VNBQn
When she walked in, she was met with a glare from Hayley, mostly shocked faces from others that she was alive, and a smile from Klaus.598Please respect copyright.PENANAYOsHUXgCoS
"What brings you here, luv?" He asked her.598Please respect copyright.PENANAuep21ZBQib
"I'll tell you later. Right now, I want to know what's going on. You look like you're going to war and you're going to kill someone."598Please respect copyright.PENANAYjUMA4moFq
"Well, no use avoiding your curiosity. Esther and Mikael have been resurrected. So have Kol and Finn, but Finn's in a box. Esther has captured Elijah and thinks that making us witches will bring our family together again. I'm going to go get my brother, while they go after her werewolf body guards," he explained.598Please respect copyright.PENANAcDVvSifivy
"We're not going to kill them unless we have to. I don't want to kill my own people. Besides, it won't earn their trust or respect by killing my family," Hayley told her.598Please respect copyright.PENANAkJgzztTMOc
"That, I can agree on. Family is everything. Family sticks together as one," Katherine sympathized. "I'm coming with you," she added, looking at Klaus.598Please respect copyright.PENANA9jcPda7yFk
"No. I won't have you put in danger. Stay here and wait for me," Klaus ordered.598Please respect copyright.PENANAhqBuHckL13
Before she could argue, he was gone, the others leaving as well. Then Cami headed home and Katherine was alone.598Please respect copyright.PENANAhjgWTpUnoE
Screw this. If I can't help with Esther, I can take care of Mikael, she thought, heading out, using her tracking skills and magic to find Mikael.598Please respect copyright.PENANABMZtAdAjt9
598Please respect copyright.PENANAhcSeZ5VgDV
598Please respect copyright.PENANAcpK199SV7R
An hour later, she found him in the woods. 598Please respect copyright.PENANAMtbEfzYSdg
She used magic to throw him against a tree.598Please respect copyright.PENANAKN4DhePB0U
"Well, well; if it isn't the runaway doppelgänger turned human again," Mikael greeted.598Please respect copyright.PENANAMGAFmsD0RS
"Hello again, Mikael," she greeted back.598Please respect copyright.PENANAXSA9qiBiWg
She through him again, as she walked towards him.598Please respect copyright.PENANAHh88z5zeYv
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but I'm going to destroy you. I won't let you kill Klaus and his siblings," she added.598Please respect copyright.PENANAOwkn2Eeqiu
"What are you going to do about it?" Mikael inquired. "You're human and you don't even have this." He took out the White Oak stake. "You can't kill me if you don't have the right weapon." He smiled at her.598Please respect copyright.PENANAOGr8FsPRhQ
Soon, they were fighting head on. She put up a pretty good fight, but she lost.598Please respect copyright.PENANAKubdgGJhmG
598Please respect copyright.PENANAffhNNFYDU7
598Please respect copyright.PENANAcbbrhKsh74
Meanwhile, Klaus had rescued Elijah and was now looking everywhere for the love of his life.598Please respect copyright.PENANAqGBj5GbnLL
His phone rang.598Please respect copyright.PENANAl1oFFLaQcV
He stopped on a sidewalk and answered it.598Please respect copyright.PENANATwSJTO1vO9
"I assume you're looking for your precious Katerina about now," Mikael said, before Klaus could say anything.598Please respect copyright.PENANAM4nQ2zWh3j
"If you harm her in any way, I will make you suffer. I will tear you apart, limb by limb. I give you my word," Klaus warned him.598Please respect copyright.PENANAdNmroL8Ota
"Come alone. You better hurry, or you'll be too late. Let's face it; she's human now; easy to kill."598Please respect copyright.PENANAEmRoMWm5sl
Mikael hung up and Klaus gave a growl, before heading for the woods, making a guess of where they might be. Mikael had always loved the woods.598Please respect copyright.PENANAtId7QL5UnG
598Please respect copyright.PENANAjjIWYmOe6m
598Please respect copyright.PENANAOpeOtgvDA0
Mikael had Katherine in an old house in the woods, tied to a chair with ropes, injured but still a fighter.598Please respect copyright.PENANABjQsBKEWkS
"You're going to pay when he gets here," she warned him.598Please respect copyright.PENANAsMmxtbeH6u
"Oh, really? I don't think so. I have the White Oak stake and he doesn't. I'm much more powerful than even a hybrid; an abomination."598Please respect copyright.PENANABgaMIsGITw
"Strength always out weighs weapons," she said. "The mind is the best strength he'll ever have against you. You think you'll win, but you won't. The thing stronger than your hatred for him is his love for me. Love is always stronger than hate."598Please respect copyright.PENANAEOt12PIwkz
"Shut up," Mikael growled.598Please respect copyright.PENANAv9sg7LI6Op
"Go to hell," she replied.598Please respect copyright.PENANAEvZrbS0YgE
"You first," he replied back.598Please respect copyright.PENANArdX0PYCp7M
He stabbed her in the stomach.598Please respect copyright.PENANAvsX4V5WrXN
"Been there. Done that," she said through the pain.598Please respect copyright.PENANAotmlWWwoyM
He pulled the dagger out and let it drop to the floor.598Please respect copyright.PENANAMG0qrr4kra
A moment later, Klaus arrived.598Please respect copyright.PENANAd62Hm8ROgS
She watched them fight one on one and was glad when, with dim vision, she saw Klaus get the White Oak stake and pierce Mikael's heart with it.598Please respect copyright.PENANA98WfZyVvCi
As Mikael lay on his back, dead, Klaus got to his feet.598Please respect copyright.PENANAnoOfelHBCb
A moment later, he was in front of her, snapping the ropes.598Please respect copyright.PENANAW3cRvPvwK8
Once finished, he rested gentle hands on either side of her face, keeping her head up.598Please respect copyright.PENANAsEKDzXH54v
"Katerina? Katerina. Can you hear me, Katerina?"598Please respect copyright.PENANAGp6frkC0Lc
Not getting an answer, he bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, using one hand to keep her head up.598Please respect copyright.PENANAIsnRERyYZJ
"Come on Katerina; Drink."598Please respect copyright.PENANA8zuGJc5YDZ
Feeling the familiar liquid, she began to drink and, once her wounds were healed, she woke up a little.598Please respect copyright.PENANA0we72vB9Vh
"Klaus," she whispered.598Please respect copyright.PENANAxdJlddRtYB
He gently picked her up in his arms.598Please respect copyright.PENANAChDmezxKdN
"It's okay. I'm here. You're safe now, Katerina, luv."598Please respect copyright.PENANAgP32VDAfTp
She wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes.598Please respect copyright.PENANADbO4f6byku
598Please respect copyright.PENANA1LlcnrMbeg
598Please respect copyright.PENANAR9fOxxkZh4
Once home, he gently layed her down in his room on his bed and sat on her bedside, his hand in hers, looking down at her.598Please respect copyright.PENANA2GHt0hjoTY
598Please respect copyright.PENANAuaYbTc2OIO
598Please respect copyright.PENANAIsbLkzKATU
A few hours later, she woke up to see him on her bedside, looking down at her in worry.598Please respect copyright.PENANAlVX5HZDq6p
She smiled and rested a gentle hand on the left side of his face.598Please respect copyright.PENANAgfKF6p1Mlk
"I'm okay. Don't worry. You saved me and defeated Mikael."598Please respect copyright.PENANARkKdewOPxf
"How can I not worry? I almost lost you, Katerina."598Please respect copyright.PENANAIM4qBMrSKt
"But you didn't. Live in the moment. Plot against your mother tomorrow."598Please respect copyright.PENANATnTq89XVO3
She gave him a kiss and then a smile.598Please respect copyright.PENANA7m0ibMNpq0
He smiled back.598Please respect copyright.PENANAyCjs625JpU
"You're absolutely right."598Please respect copyright.PENANAnHGK2fg0ie
A moment later, they were kissing and taking clothes off, going to third base. And in that moment, they came back to each other.598Please respect copyright.PENANAu4EmKOnfDM
598Please respect copyright.PENANAd3WNh5Adqg
598Please respect copyright.PENANALy1PHjFY9I
A few weeks later, Esther was dead and all was peaceful in both the Bayou and French Quarter. Witches were able to do magic again, the werewolves were allowed back in the French Quarter, and Rebekah and Hope were able to return home to Klaus, Hayley, Elijah, and Kol.598Please respect copyright.PENANAfvdhJnfJle

A few months later, Katherine and Klaus had a little girl named Katherina Petrova Mikaelson, who was born a hybrid; half werewolf, half vampire, and half human.598Please respect copyright.PENANActqBLQ4h0y
