Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxsZbdCbH0
It was a dark night, as Kohl chased after Elena and Jeremy in their lake house. He headed up the stairs towards the Gilberts and headed for Jeremy. Elena got in his way and Jeremy fell down the stairs.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kjAuLWuPb
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tz70KveZR
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFgS8qQmjQ
"Yes," she answered.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4zgIY8ANt
He tried to get past her, but she didn't let him. He grabbed her and pinned her against a wall, before he broke a piece of wood off the railing and stabbed her with it.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMBtofZVaG
As she slid down the wall, she watched as he knelt beside her only brother. Then she saw Jeremy and Kol start fighting, before they disappeared from her sight. Then she saw Katherine at the door.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOnHFEprNh
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSDFCYcQMz
Come in, Elena thought back.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN7827H979
Katherine walked in and vanished to help Jeremy. She wanted to kill Kol but knew he needed to stay alive until Klaus came. He'd deal with Kol on his own terms.
Kol grabbed him and pinned him against the side of the bar.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJI0jBGzW3
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYV1VEGj0F
With his free hand, he held a knife.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15PobWasj0
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP2QMV3a6F
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oscl2cQTp
"Katherine," Kol greeted.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUwk1YrqkE
"Kol, it's been a while. Jeremy, are you okay? Kol, I'd like to kill you for hurting the last of my family and Elena's family, but I won't. I'll leave you for Klaus to deal with."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP9Lb55tKd
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDFoj5Gvgn
"Because I just saved you."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUg7pz4ZFH
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOiRpYdxS6
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsEM6pfABV
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyYBf04BYH
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a0eqzRmL6
"You're welcome," she said.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydWACp3E74
"I'm going out," he replied.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJZIleRzP4
She watched him leave.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzqjRX2KAe
As her strength began to ebb away, she knew she didn't have much time left. She let go of the bar and slid down it. She was dying from the hybrid bites. She had come here for help, because she needed the cure.
Elena entered the kitchen after healing, only to see that Katherine was the only one there. She could easily see that she was hurt and losing consciousness. She could smell blood, too.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTymFgPSMn
Elena knelt in front of her and saw how pale she looked. She saw that she was sweating. That's when she knew that she had been bitten and needed the cure.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskohuS2wB3
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv6l7qimzR
As Elena slid her hand under her to rest between her shoulder blades, and gently pulled her towards her, Katherine blacked out. She gently pulled the unconscious vampiress into her arms, and slid her free arm under her legs. Then, with vampire strength, Elena picked her up and headed for the door.
Once Katherine was in Damon's bed at the Salvatore boarding house, Elena got the cure from the cooler in the basement. She then made it go down her throat, until it was finished.
When Katherine woke up, she felt better. She saw that Elena was seated on her bedside.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tNqSJJpXK
"Thank you," Katherine said.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeNoZle4G9
"You're welcome."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P6bAHk8GZ
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtgg9KIzOi
"Thanks," Elena said.716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs6TOmlxpz
"You're welcome, Elena."716Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotVgYrGhoZ
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
