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.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTqYAnAMY0
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLJRoaYgTV
"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.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQi2mnLrKH
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.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm3clqA17U
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6PsxsrTBG
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPILOdDkv1m
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S6gL1732B
"How are you feeling?" he asked.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GZ7GmFj4z
"Like I just got vervained."669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisIby4z38C
He saw that she didn't look good.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvo6p30X6u
"Katherine, look at me."669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRgJs5aQbT
She tried to do as he said.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B0lE2MJvf
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zi91V0C8D
"Damon," she said.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUals0VtcBh
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.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlgEtNfZHv
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
