I haven't written fanfiction in a long time but I wanted to write something to do with the season 5 finale. Just wanted to see what you all thought of this and if there are people who do like it, then I will carry it on. If not, then it can just stay as a one-shot! :) Enjoy!
As Katherine began to awaken into the world which had grown to despise her, the world looked down upon her in curiosity, excitement and jealousy. Her muscles ached like they've never ached before. Bruises had begun appearing in various forms across her now vulnerable and weak body. She flinched as the pain began to register with her. She flinched again after feeling something cool upon her forehead. An attempt at finding out what or who it was failed as she struggled adjusting to the light with her now dulled vision. Her eyes squinted as she heard a surprising yet comforting voice.
"It's fine, Katherine. Just take your time. Relax." She'd know that voice anywhere. Slowly but surely, Katherine opened her eyes, taking her time to adjust to how bright the room was. She wanted to confirm who was in the room with her. She was right. Katherine looked up to see the the dark haired boy she never once stopped loving, even when he hated her guts. Stefan. She let out a brief smile but quickly let it fall as she realised there were other people now crowding around her.
The brunette rapidly sat up straight, regretting it almost instantly as dizziness took over. "Alright, what happened and why are we in Stefan's room?" Katherine asked, taking in her surroundings.
Elijah gently took hold of both of her wrists and looked deeply into her in the eyes. "What's the last thing you remember, Katerina?"
"Elijah!" Katherine exclaimed, a huge grin across her face.
"This is serious, Katherine. What's the last thing you remember?" Klaus interrupted. She didn't even take her eyes away from Elijah whilst the hybrid spoke. Her face fell as she began to look blankly ahead, figuring out for herself just what the last thing she remembered was.
Her mouth opened and closed several times, trying to find something to say. "I..." She began, but couldn't find the words to finish or even attempt to carry on the sentence. She scanned the room, searching for something, anything that might jolt her memory slightly. Nothing. Then she spotted Elena on the other side of the room, wrapped securely in Damon's arms. Katherine's face hardened as the memories came flooding back. Elena's face in turn hardened as she glared at her ancestor and doppelganger. Now that she was mortal, she could kill her easily, finally get her back after what she did to Jeremy. Katherine could see now that Damon was only holding his girlfriend back for the protection of Katerina herself. Katherine looked towards Klaus who only smirked at her. Fear overwhelmed her as she realised what Klaus would soon do now that she was human again. She wanted to run. Run exactly how she had been doing for the past five hundred years. Being human was now a major flaw in that plan. Especially in the condition she was in at the moment. She'd barely be out of Mystic Falls before either Klaus or his minions caught her. Katherine took a deep breath and composed herself, composed herself for the danger that was about to hit her like a sudden tsunami that she couldn't run away from. "So I'm human?" She gulped. It was a question but it sounded more of a statement, if anything. Human. She mentally said again, playing around with the word. She'd forgotten what it was like to be human. It had been so long. She couldn't live a normal human life, surely? She had witnessed and mocked the vulnerability of Elena when she was human. Difference being, Elena had people around her that protected and followed her every move. Katherine was sure no one would ever be kind enough to protect her, the psychotic bitch who ruined everyone's lives.
Elijah spoke. He looked guilty for what happened to his beloved Katerina. "You're going to struggle adjusting back to a human life, Katerina. You're not exactly in the best shape either to be going out in the world on your own."
Katherine looked surprised. She laughed at the idea. "So you lot are actually going to look after me? I'm old enough, I'm sure I can look after myself, thanks."
"Stefan's going to look after you." The moral original stated. Katherine turned her head to look at Stefan, raising her eyebrows.
