It was a beautiful day, as Katherine stood behind a tree, watching the scene unfold. Damon was confronting Kai about getting the hell out of there. She would help if need be. He was her childe. She had sired him in 1864. Besides, she was once in love with him and she would do anything for him. And to this day, she still loved him with all of her heart. No one was allowed to hurt him or mess with him but her.512Please respect copyright.PENANAU1oabY7mHr
When Kai and Damon were fighting and her childe was losing, it angered her and she felt the need to protect him. Without thinking, she appeared and through Kai off.512Please respect copyright.PENANALveW0UfrfU
Damon looked from where he was, to see that Katherine was who had thrown Kai off him. And from the scent, she was human. It surprised him that she was trying to stop Kai. She was only human and Katherine. She didn't care about him, so why help him? Had dying changed her? Had being human given her humanity again?512Please respect copyright.PENANA3fQJwQdW4D
Katherine stood in front of Kai, looking fearless and determined. She always looked fearless when facing danger and the enemy, but deep inside, she always had doubts and fear about the oncoming fight, never knowing if she would survive the fight. That's what she felt about now, but she wouldn't let Kai sense it. Right now, the only weapon she had was a Traveler knife; specifically created to destroy Travelers. She knew he wasn't a Traveler, but it was worth a shot. And If she was going to die, she was going to die fighting to save Damon.512Please respect copyright.PENANAp8LHGhaVzP
"If it isn't the famous Katherine Pierce, come to your childe's rescue," Kai greeted her.512Please respect copyright.PENANAZFPguFjGyp
"Kai," she greeted back. "You're quite famous yourself for killing your siblings. That's why you're here. And all you ever wanted and still want is magic. You hate that you weren't born with magic, unlike your family. I've got news for you. Vengeance dies hard and you belong here. You deserve to rot in here for what you've done."512Please respect copyright.PENANAuolBibW49T
She gave a smile.512Please respect copyright.PENANAF7q5GuOlPm
His mood became dark and he lunged for her. And as he did, she pulled out the Traveler knife to stab him, but he grabbed a hold of her wrist. 512Please respect copyright.PENANAx7iSs5zG7S
She tried to fight against him and they ended up with her up against a tree, her back touching the bark of the tree.512Please respect copyright.PENANAIl6xd3o9og
He was stronger than her, which surprised her, considering they were both technically human.512Please respect copyright.PENANAyzKbWao4PZ
She continued to fight against him, trying to get the knife in him, but he maneuvered the knife, hand still around her wrist, and it stabbed her in the side.512Please respect copyright.PENANA1tbCvLHV5E
He pinned her to the tree, applying pressure to her throat with an arm.512Please respect copyright.PENANAdUEU4KPYvI
She gasped, trying to breathe.512Please respect copyright.PENANAv8or2zNcoo
"Looks like you're next on my list," he said.512Please respect copyright.PENANA2vpYi9Mdrt
Everything went dim and gray for her.512Please respect copyright.PENANAuEQhE46RGX
Damon through him off his pain in the ass sire and snapped his neck. He then rushed to her side where she lay on her back, side heavily bleeding with the knife still in it, eyes closed, pale from blood loss.512Please respect copyright.PENANA6xfsl9cjtz
"Katherine," he said.512Please respect copyright.PENANAdnruFXjHV1
He immediately took the knife out, knowing what It did to her, considering she was descended from Travelers.512Please respect copyright.PENANAgfsClRd3tb
He bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to save her life, as her breathing slowed, hoping it would work. In the living world, she hadn't been able to digest vampire blood.512Please respect copyright.PENANAQstBqE7TFk
Soon, her wounds were healed, so he took his wrist away, which instantly healed.512Please respect copyright.PENANAcwBj5iYGOo
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head and sighed in relief, figuring that she would live to see another day.512Please respect copyright.PENANAaLXvyunrRy
A moment later, still out cold, she began to cough up the blood he had given her.512Please respect copyright.PENANAA3f0u4kM6E
He looked down at her, not knowing what to do. All he knew to do was hope for her to wake up and be okay. His mission to get the hell out of dodge had now changed course. He had to help Katherine now, before he could leave.512Please respect copyright.PENANAzKlA5HNdZ9
He put the Traveler knife inside his jacket and then gently pulled her into his arms, getting to his feet and heading for the boarding house.512Please respect copyright.PENANA3N4Casve3q

Once in the living room, he gently layed her down on his couch. 512Please respect copyright.PENANAjUqvQ7KX2N
As he sat in his chair, shot glass of Bourbon in hand, watching her insensible form, he wondered how she had come here. Why was she here? Why was she human, when she had died in Elena's body? What would happen when she woke up? If she died, would she go into transition and become a vampire again? If so, would he have to teach her control, or would she be able to deal with it all on her own? Would she live to see another day? Did she care about him, even though she hadn't shown it since 1864? Did she love him? Would they ever learn to get along?512Please respect copyright.PENANAgVJNkyzyzn

She didn't know how long she had been out, but when she came to, she was on Damon's couch with him watching her from his recliner.512Please respect copyright.PENANAe3ILH9XoNo
"You're awake," he greeted.512Please respect copyright.PENANAOuL7OP4LaQ
He went to sit on her bedside on the couch.512Please respect copyright.PENANA6Iq7CAudZ0
She slowly sat up and looked at him.512Please respect copyright.PENANA23h4wriP07
He looked at her, as he rested gentle hands on either side of her head.512Please respect copyright.PENANArIL8emyf57
"How are you feeling?"512Please respect copyright.PENANAmt3uVTOyH1
"Like I just got stabbed and nearly killed," she answered.512Please respect copyright.PENANAAmO7JafDsH
"You were pretty close. I healed you, but you're body rejected my blood."512Please respect copyright.PENANAeq3oSV7Bfg
"Great," she said sarcastically. She didn't feel like dying of old age all over again.512Please respect copyright.PENANAyrqJa6yFKU
"Don't worry. We'll find a way to stop it."512Please respect copyright.PENANA0zhgo7I1Qq
"There is no way. If there was, don't you think I would've found one the first time around? The only solution is to put me in another body. Why do you think I jumped into Elena's? I wanted to live just a little longer. Then Nadia died and my life didn't mean anything anymore."512Please respect copyright.PENANAgfyDn79ecu
"Let's go one step at a time. Okay? First, let's get you back to health. Then we can get out of here and stop this from happening to you again."512Please respect copyright.PENANAngPIoxY01D
"I need blood to restore what I lost first. Then I should be okay. Right now, I'm just tired," she replied.512Please respect copyright.PENANAl5cWtQoktw
"Get some sleep," he told her, before kissing her on the forehead and taking his hands away from her head.512Please respect copyright.PENANASUb7YMKVx0
512Please respect copyright.PENANAPUpzUPigU4
512Please respect copyright.PENANAHtYdwpEmnS
Soon, she was back to health and they were alive again. They even found a way through a powerful witch how to stop time from catching up with her. So she was saved and Damon and Katherine got back together.512Please respect copyright.PENANAv0wkg4hOew
