Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOUCzgAqr4
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBROLxIctR8
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2HQOchZlk
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi4BIOiObM
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjKcaLNYF4
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD2Jl7LOpX
"I was bitten by the hybrids he sent after me. I need your help. I need his blood; the cure. Please, Rebekah," she said, almost begging the Original sister.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq5f0fYaXr
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpQm9P1SMX
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqiqnQ1Pwo
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7PGk5Bu4j
"Drink."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6WOQhlELJ
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5ilshC9Ee
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW7CVUyOk6
"Thank you."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBFJ5JK7FM
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eEKlmBWu9
"You won't. I promise."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeJLlorX2Q
"Good."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVcDGv8Wol
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2tCQKZSSF
"A lot; Alaric was turned by mother and alerted the council. They want us all dead I guess. But Alaric is dead now, Stefan is trying to get back to his old habits, and I killed Elena and almost Matt. I wanted Alaric dead and Elena was tied to him. I thought Alaric killed my brother. Now Elena's a vampire. Apparently, she had Damon's blood in her system. And I didn't know that."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEoYRKFD0D
"Wow. I missed a lot," is all she could say to that. Since Rebekah hadn't known, she couldn't be mad at her for Elena turning into a vampire.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DKEREwFnI
Suddenly, arrows started flying.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnunyoCLsj
"Get the blood and vervain! Just in case! Then we have to go!" Katherine yelled and grabbed the blood, putt it in a bag. Rebekah obeyed and did the same with the vervain, putting it in the same bag.
They made it outside the Mystic Grille, before everything started to unfocus for Katherine, and Rebekah grew pale and weak. Rebekah had taken an arrow in the middle of her chest, while Katherine had taken an arrow in the leg.
Rebekah slid down the wall to sit down, while Katherine set the bag down and knelt beside her.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAu7b9o7i5
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ383agJTzAz
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4gFj7et9v
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8EEOzeuCE
"It's us," Kat answered him.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEdlFPFoow
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyaWindA5J
"She saved my life. Then we had to leave. We got shot with arrows; me in the leg and Rebekah in the chest. But we're both still alive. We're right outside the Mystic Grille. We need help, Damon. Something was on them. You should try and keep her awake, while I go see if anyone's in there."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXmFuWsxAI
"Will do," he replied to his sire.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqpxKVIBKY
She got to her feet and used the wall to hold herself up, as she staggered towards the door and opened it enough so they only saw one hand, her upper body, and unhurt leg. Then she leaned on the door and scanned the crowd within, stopping when she saw Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTfuOz2QOt
Caroline saw Katherine.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38ajAKfgL7
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuZ8r4NpWh
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE3cdALKmn
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ewiFgYlUF
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL4o96mHia
"Let's go," Tyler said.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAeBNa6hSt
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6zQbFLlsW
They stopped by Rebekah.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3XjOMv1i1
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqGFXBXwBi
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiF1lMM50u
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02tA4XqdQe
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2r1VgC0N7
"Katherine, hang in there. Damon's coming," Tyler instructed the Petrova vampiress, unsure of what to do or what else to say.
Damon hung up soon after.
Not long afterward, Damon arrived. He instantly went to stand in front of Katherine.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyy8Rh42sD
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa656kYjHyR
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljTnagTo7m
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5xdEeeXU6
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB7hYjwAmW
He caught her, as she lost her balance, unable to stand. And as he picked her up, he realized how weak she was. He felt her rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his neck.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBcaENSEya
"Stay awake, Kat," he instructed, as he sped towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Once inside, Damon gently sat her in Elena's recliner, while Tyler carried Rebekah upstairs to the guest room, which was formerly Ric's room, and before that, Elena's Aunt Jenna's room. Tyler and Caroline stayed with Rebekah, while Damon stayed in the living room with his sire. Elena stood by and watched.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORcXi72NHL
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXF4exT99k
"Kat, stay with me."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2btwPU8Anq
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1dvXVRtNi
"The Council shot them with arrows. Something's on them. We need Meredith over here. She might know what's on them and how to cure them. And you need to call Klaus. He'll want to know about his sister."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1URqVCAf7
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYm1q6gMzR
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGCYRvjMHq
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyqVAZbdZF
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vy2XfFBjn
"Let me try then," Klaus said. "Katerina, you have to stay awake. Think of your family. If you die now, you would've been fighting for nothing. You would've survived this long for nothing. You've been fighting for 500 years, Katerina. Don't give up now. You can't. We won't let you die," he told his former doppelganger, meaning it all. He had trust and faith in her now. And he cared about her. He then added to Elena, "I'm coming over to help. You'll have to invite me in. After this is all over though, you can uninvited me." He then hung up.
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQXye5OYTk
Half an hour later, he arrived and Elena invited him in. He walked into the living room and Damon stepped away, watching as he knelt in front of her.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHxXX5TIJC
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHyfnixNxB
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI3cQqgH5e
"Klaus," she said back.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80niIAtLdS
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg98Uhg1qE
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETxBxtnP3X
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt4wRIHGVs
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE62dxJ7iuA
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J9jvRuVsz
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpeLTmS5da
So they did and both got better.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeMawu2gVz
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RuPlrfvTh
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWB5LRwtwe
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY09LeWndp0
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwkYN6Ky0f
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I know how it feels. It's different for everyone, but I want to help you. You're my family, Elena. I may not show it, but I care. I really do care."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMtWA2987n
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHRtSj9Zjh
"I'm sorry, Elena. I would've been here if I didn't have hybrids on my tail. But I'm here to stay now. I'll help you in any way I can."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0D7FmlUfp
"You want the truth, Katherine? I'm tired. All I try to do is fight and do the right thing. But Damon said I have to drink from the vein. I don't want to and it's killing me, trying to not drink from the vein. He told me I can't drink animal blood and I can't. He said I could only drink from the vein and that's all I can do. I can't even keep Damon's blood down. What am I going to do?"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo1yhmisku
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ779HHsaiei
"Yeah. Why?"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4DT3kZBhU
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpR4Pe5oDR
"It can't be," Kat whispered.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8blok97d6
"What?"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSdKtGiFMN
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYQaFT9aJd
"But what?"711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmQQ7fjK2I
"You're sired to Damon."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF92M51NuV
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM7APGEEX2
"I don't know, but it happens once in a while. It can be broken. We just have to convince him to free you from the sire bond."711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwRMtHJWz6
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
