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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrOJaGdngg
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQeuNmW78z
"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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaBqsBjhm9
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnIeWLd3Hl
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2ckETEmzP
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSafhTIrYc
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wZSq6zcfB
"How are you feeling?" he asked.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVPnM4pffw
"Like I just got vervained."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNYlcLpnFe
He saw that she didn't look good.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaREGeVHE1V
"Katherine, look at me."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi2JUVrfNW
She tried to do as he said.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkgZVxyt4s
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDEgKFTzfn
"Damon," she said.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeq1ig4ORL
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbVLk4qXBh
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
