Summary: Set in S1. Klaus finds an injured Kat in the woods. Will he save her? Will she live?
It was a dark night in New Orleans, as Klaus walked through the woods, a sudden rainstorm beginning, as he headed for the direction of the way out of the woods.
Suddenly, he stopped, catching something by scent, even in this weather. The plus of being a hybrid was that unlike a vampire, he could use his senses in the middle of a rainstorm, snowstorm, and etc without a problem. This scent was human blood, so he followed the scent trail.
Upon finding the source, he stopped, seeing that a car had crashed into a tree and there was someone still inside the car.
He was instantly in front of the car, only to see that that someone was a quite injured and out cold Katerina. He could tell that she had been like this for a while and, from the smell of her flowing wounds, she had and still was losing a lot of blood.
He rested a gentle hand on the side of her face.
"Katerina?" he called, hoping he could bring her around. "Can you hear me, luv?"
He used hybrid hearing to listen to her heartbeat and breathing, which he found to be slow. He knew she was dying and he also had heard from Mystic Falls that she was dying of old age. He could tell that it was true, too. He could see wrinkles on her now and there was some gray hair where she used to not have any gray hair.
After looking at her for a few minutes, contemplating on what to do, he made his decision, taking a chance. He was only half vampire, so he figured this would work, since he was a hybrid.
He bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her and save her life.
"Stay with me, Katerina. You need to fight," he said, as he made it go down her throat.
After her wounds had healed, he gently picked her up in his arms and headed back to the compound with her.
In the end, she lived.
