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.488Please respect copyright.PENANAReZKfF8TDu
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.488Please respect copyright.PENANAoTa2u1ko3z
"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.488Please respect copyright.PENANAU2RoqHz0yL
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.488Please respect copyright.PENANAMoZrMfY4de
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.488Please respect copyright.PENANA0ftk9tLm98
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.488Please respect copyright.PENANA9TNQx3lFJ3
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.488Please respect copyright.PENANAM8QC315bYa
"How are you feeling?" he asked.488Please respect copyright.PENANAlOBqAiRf6o
"Like I just got vervained."488Please respect copyright.PENANAIGpCIHAtNM
He saw that she didn't look good.488Please respect copyright.PENANAD8vssZdGsC
"Katherine, look at me."488Please respect copyright.PENANAanfoMWlvE3
She tried to do as he said.488Please respect copyright.PENANA3zgGGklULo
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.488Please respect copyright.PENANA40doK6txEP
"Damon," she said.488Please respect copyright.PENANAqD8yDsCf36
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.488Please respect copyright.PENANAacdyodL0Py
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
