My Happy Ending (Kat’s POV; Kalijah)

        I feel something soft, as I’m lying on my back somewhere. I don’t know where I am right now and everything’s silent. The last thing I remember is being swept into oblivion, or whatever that black mass was. I thought I’d end up in hell, but I don’t feel like I’m surrounded by fire and there’s all the silence. Unless I’m just in my own hell. I don’t want to be in any kind of hell, though. I had enough hell when Damon got inside my head and tried to torment me when I was dying as a human. I know he hates me, but I was trying so hard to be a better person. Nadia, my daughter, and Stefan, Damon’s brother, were the only ones that saw that. Stefan even tried to give me peace before I died, while Nadia tried to save me. In the end, Nadia and I died in peace. Now I’m here, wherever here is.

        I open my eyes and slowly sit up in bed.

        I look around and see that I’m in a bedroom.

        I get to my feet and go to the window and look out it.

        For a few minutes, I’m silent, once I see what it looks like. I don’t know what to think. It looks like I’m still in Mystic Falls, but it’s different. The cars and houses I can see look abandoned. Curious, I decide to investigate. So, I leave the house and take a walk.





        I stop walking to pick up the newspaper on Elena’s old lawn. And when I do, I see that the date is October 5, 2009. The day I turned Caroline Forbes into a vampire. That was a gift I gave her, so I figure I’m not in my own hell. I made her a better person by turning her. If I’m not in hell, then where am I?

        I drop the newspaper and continue walking.

        I stop walking, seeing someone standing not far from me, looking at me.

        I smile, as she approaches me.

        “Long time no see, Katherine. You’re probably wondering where you are, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is getting you out of here. Davina’s doing a spell as we speak. You’re needed in New Orleans. Esther, Mikael, and Finn have risen and are plotting against Klaus, Elijah, Hayley, Kol, Davina, Cami, and Marcel. Rebekah is returning with Hope. Hope needs protected. She was born a witch as well as a hybrid. Every enemy in the French Quarter think she’s dead, but they’ll soon find out the truth. You’re the only one I could think of that could help. You know what it’s like to lose a daughter. You also know the Mikaelsons very well. Help them. Please,” she says to me.

        “You’re right. Don’t worry. I’ll save Hope and help them the best I can,” I assure Sophie Deveraux. She’s an old friend and I want to respect her wishes.

        A moment later, I find myself in a mausoleum with a teenage witch. She’s probably Davina.

        “Welcome back to the land of the living,” she greets.

        “Thanks. Nice to meet you, Davina. I’d love to get to know you, but I have somewhere to be,” I reply, before walking out, not letting her say anything else.





        Before I know it, I’m at the Mikaelson family home.

        I walk in just as Klaus says, “To go get our daughter.”

        Before he and Hayley can go anywhere, I walk inside.

        A moment later, Klaus has me pinned to a wall.

        “Katerina,” he growls. “What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be dead.”

        “And you’re supposed to be going with Hayley to get Hope. Don’t worry. I pose no threat to her. Cliff notes is that I did die, but not for long. Sophie told me what’s going on and that she wants me to help. I promised her I would, so don’t kill me yet. Besides, I know what it’s like to lose a daughter, one way or another. I’m here to help protect her and help you defeat Esther and Mikael. So swallow that ego of yours and learn to trust me.”

        He lets go of me and I look at them both.

        “Let’s go fetch Hope and Rebekah. I’m not staying alone here and you’re the best protection in the world, apart from Hayley and Elijah, of course.”

        “I don’t think my brother will be much company or of use. Esther did something to him. Now he has killed a bar full of humans.”

        “Then I’ll bring him back from the deep end. He would never hurt me, no matter what I am or what I do,” I inform him.





        Soon, we arrive at the bar and I can see why Klaus is so clearly worried. So, once I tell Rebekah the cliff notes, we head back.





        Once Klaus has him on his own bed and has gone, I silently sit on his bedside, hand in his, waiting for him to come to. Rebekah didn’t know what else to do, so she broke his neck.





        An hour later, he awakes to see me.

        I smile.

        “Katerina?” he questions with one hand on the side of my face. “Is that really you?”

        “It is. I’m not a hallucination. I’ve come to help you and to help take down your parents.”

        “You’re human. What has happened to you?” he asks.

        “Long story,” I reply, before giving him the cliff notes.

        “Forgive me, Katerina. I would’ve helped if I had known.”

        “I forgave you on my deathbed. Don’t tell Klaus you know. I understand why he didn’t tell you. You would’ve dropped everything here to try and save me, and he needs you to stay here with him,” I say.

        We smile at each other in understanding and forever and eternal love.





        Soon, the Mikaelson’s parents are defeated and Finn is in a coffin for punishment, so all is well. Rebekah and Hope even come home for good. And Elijah and I even get back together, so I stay and Hayley and I become friends. I finally get my happy ending.
