Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGydWJ8UkZj
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC8kHLrBaA
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgar2EDtA3
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabPyHCcBNy
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2XAooEOFU
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqFKmX09Fl
"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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UkpcFZM7E
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm55fqqxb7
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAsZrCzL5b
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQax8CZg7VI
"Drink."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPCLTTy2jm
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHYCjTaWNT
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOhtG64QQe
"Thank you."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTSTtPGLRs
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZwtlfyetf
"You won't. I promise."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs4dTNDJX2
"Good."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBRD4l7RKr
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbamG1Jnggw
"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."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3rzcNfZMY
"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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlrt6IWoDg
Suddenly, arrows started flying.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESSXNr4IKD
"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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerfBxhp0dk
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8PZycduhO
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgB1PvQs7F
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDadpxPLKa
"It's us," Kat answered him.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLlGbkgKIT
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1D0E71VN0
"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."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyCCz9gsHM
"Will do," he replied to his sire.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWaJ44Csn5
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjbnSF6HwB
Caroline saw Katherine.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7gK7ZzVzo
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSSEHnDhjj
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9YxdT0bV7
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuDutzlps4
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwt8sCmVyF
"Let's go," Tyler said.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtgkkCuu1C
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEGpJJQ94O
They stopped by Rebekah.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclIO6gkOWJ
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHybTYG3PY
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKNlfvjRJD
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOQZ0MEvTk
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa54xCERwr
"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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFGu62wCcp
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0d7EPoLYo
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvFJVgL1zF
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaw1TJuyNS
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4OAPTzFbA
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GcsV89pMR
"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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BLEQdxj6D
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDySTEuhjb
"Kat, stay with me."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kuqyZEz4A
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mA6THtewq
"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."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6FN057F4E
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6EyTDVYRd
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l3CICFLfs
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h9UnV3JyB
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbhEE2FYO6
"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.
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDeuV2p3jX
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bfUZXgVqF
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZUZQRAfE8
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qPd8Pke7b
"Klaus," she said back.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ4bqfgBut
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVDKwaMtWx
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbDTXzrAyM
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacr5zdjKSZ
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSLWp0QIOc
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SXfAU5Af1
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM8qEUNRu5
So they did and both got better.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebesl7kDHT
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuK7A07Pud
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJLLQ5bHsL
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9WO6mcOSE
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7cojdcKI4
"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."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgHtCDSrpa
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkOQBJOcNL
"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."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetI2J4ZqA5
"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?"658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7xPI62Nb2
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKFLWNrDQJ
"Yeah. Why?"658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1f8fLBZAe
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhsywlOAcj
"It can't be," Kat whispered.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60rtTV6Yc4
"What?"658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPfFycsBd5
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdXoqXLJFK
"But what?"658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBmhRZiRfk
"You're sired to Damon."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03YDqEbTne
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPkfokUTo4
"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."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn1OZNGcAE
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
