It was a beautiful day, as Katherine Pierce walked into her residential home. And that's when she sensed someone else. She was standing by the threshold to the living room, when she turned around.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhChmcWCfzV
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygOXgJMCAN
"James," she said in shock. And then, as a scent wafted over her and she heard Damon yell, "Katherine!", she was barely able to say, "Come in," inviting him inside.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iLYVc6mOV
As Damon through James away from her, she staggered back once before losing her balance. And then, as she lay on her back, she knew the dagger had vervain on it.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpT8nELNmZ
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL6uPLpcbz
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rUuyYbBsA
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYwdYHuly8
"How are you feeling?" he asked.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeQjb12zLz
"Like I just got vervained."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOnqx7OW9N
He saw that she didn't look good.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv6YS888N3
"Katherine, look at me."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqyWAdtAq1
She tried to do as he said.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDSLq8VRXh
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyWqBSjckd
"Damon," she said.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPjH4UF2yW
As she collapsed, he caught her from hitting the floor with a hand between her shoulder blades, an arm holding her up. Then he left the house to go home with her in his arms, knowing she would be okay once the vervain was out of her system. Blood would help, but not his. It would give her more vervain, since he mixed a little of vervain with alcohol every day and night. She needed someone else's. Maybe Elena would be willing.
Later, she awoke after Elena had given her some of her blood. Katherine could see that she was on the couch at the boarding house with Elena and Damon by the couch with worried faces.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nZd3Kr4Ie
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
