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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHqmmaFWG7
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGBuwGYpSd
"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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5EbfpN7yy
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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZqc9TVP7e
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx8nDEOn2X
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS9VZOveMG
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtaKMZYVhL
"How are you feeling?" he asked.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ46yhVTE9
"Like I just got vervained."667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU2RKRHpBe
He saw that she didn't look good.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJtew7Cu6s
"Katherine, look at me."667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qjfSxrAAT
She tried to do as he said.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgXjFoj4P0
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp24zdKCrd
"Damon," she said.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0azUO5HeW
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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa2IdBO8Wc
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
