It was a nebulous night at the Salvatore boarding house, as human Katherine set the empty shot glass down on Damon’s drinking table.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq817Czp0g
“You’re miserable,” Damon stated.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOn9HnB3oE
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor.”621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnBu9z6Gws
“You’re a liar. Your hair’s messed up, your nails are chipped. You’re a sad, miserable human being and you want me to turn you. So, here.” He bit his wrist and offered it to her.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMwxQCON2B
She gripped his arm, but hesitated.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhekohCW6y9
“Go ahead, drink up. I’ll kill you, you’ll bit the mailman, you’ll be a vampire again. Go ahead, come on,” he encouraged.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZcDoBNi6k
She let go and looked at him.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQFCjwZyDQ
“I can’t, okay? No one’s ever taken the cure before. If I die, there’s a good chance I may never wake up.”621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh84criJx2
“And that would be tragic,” he commented, not caring.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv9O0aJaIY
“And deep down, in that mushy-gushy Elena-loving heart, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want me to die,” she said, standing in front of him, a hand on his chest. Then she stepped back. “I have enemies everywhere. What happens when word gets out that I’m a human? I can’t protect myself. I’m weak and I’m slow. Do you have any idea what it’s like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon. Please, just…help me,” she pleaded with him.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPvZGSBHj3
He looked at her in silence, debating on what to do. She was right, because they would always have a connection. He hated that and her, but he couldn’t deny it.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl7DsKK97l
“Fine. I’ll protect you,” he stated, not sure if it was a promise or not.

She silently watched, as he walked out of the living room. She knew why, too. She’d broken his heart so many times that he hated her. He hated what she’d done when she’d been a vampire. Now that she had humanity, she found herself wanting to apologize and to tell the truth to him, instead of lying to him. She knew that he wouldn’t believe her, though.

It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the car after having tried to run when Damon had tried handing her over to Silas. She tried to stay awake despite her injuries, but knew if she wasn’t found soon, her injuries would kill her.

About forty minutes later, he finally found his wrecked car with Katherine still inside. He could smell blood, even from a distance. He blurred to her side of the car, and saw that she was quite injured. There was a shard of glass in her thigh and side. Her wrist was cut from a few small pieces of glass by her on the seat. There was blood on either side of her head, too.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPACUOgLp6w
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVRauuzda3
“I’m so sorry, Katherine,” he apologized, though he didn’t know if she could hear him. “Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes if you can hear me.”621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV1rdDlThw
He waited for a few minutes, but didn’t get anything from her.

He took his hands away and pulled out both shards of glass, and tossed them to the ground. He then gently picked her up in his arms and blurred towards the hospital. As he did, he could tell that she had and was still losing a lot of blood, not to mention the artery in her thigh had been opened by the shard of glass he’d pulled out, and she was very pale.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiNufomJN5
This is my fault. Just hang on. Don’t die on me, he thought, knowing if he didn’t get her to the hospital soon, she was going to die.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dCdogDUUR
“Stay with me, Katherine,” he said. “Please.”621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMcgWa9n9x
He blurred to the hospital, hoping she’d live.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQgUcLROhz

Half an hour later, he walked into the hospital with her in his arms, which Meredith saw. Damon saw an unused bed in the hallway and gently layed her down on it.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY95uZG4Jn
Meredith came over.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr2qlKhWw3
“What happened?”621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQHw6LUEZS
“She wrecked my car and got herself injured in the process. I’ll explain later, but this is my fault,” he summarized.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA1sBgp9Ba
Meredith knew he wasn’t telling her everything, but didn’t question him. Right now, all that mattered was saving Katherine’s life.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XsNh3yRNr
She put a breathing mask on her.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SFyfdWG8U
“I’ll let you know how it goes,” she told him.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFomcP1uOfZ

Half an hour later, he was in the waiting room, while Katherine was in surgery. He hoped that she’d be okay, but he didn’t know what extent her injuries were. He wasn’t a doctor. All he knew was how to tend to wounds.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT4LlAZsmc
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTOzhNG3mB
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs92ZBgo86y
A few hours later, Meredith informed him that she’d be okay and he went to her room.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7d9g6YCP0
He sat on her bedside with a gentle hand on the side of her face, looking down at her, glad that she was alive, and waited for her to wake up.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qHzywKGPR
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WhVOpcA5m

An hour later, she woke up and they settled things between each other, and he took her home. And so their love story continued.
