Summary: Set in S4E7 "My Brother's Keeper." Jeremy tries to kill Elena and she gets hurt. Will someone save her in time? Katherine gets hurt in the parlor too. Will she live?
It was a beautiful day, as Jeremy Gilbert stood in the parlor, a stake in his left hand.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm8zznE3Ae
A moment, Elena Gilbert walked into the parlor to see her brother.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHedIYJ72uW
"Where have you been? We've been looking for you," she told him.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9mVy5A21u
He started to turn the stake around in his hand.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5HKMHEStu
"What are you doing with that?" she asked cautiously.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn3uO5fkA9
"Every bone in my body is telling me to drive this stake through your heart," he answered her. "I don't want to."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00TIQUmc18
"Then don't."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRneK8BmWy
"You're a vampire."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f0S4Mo6Au
"Yeah, but I'm also your sister," she told him, as she stood in front of him.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIec7RvgVQ
He was silent.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq0rUisrRS
"Jer, you know I wouldn't hurt you," she added.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojkH8I1VdD
He showed her his bloody hand and veins started to show under her eyes, as she fought to control her thirst for it.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvQTgfl6Co
She took a few steps back.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQkLYDUtI9
"Get that away from me."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGr0m7RWtm
Suddenly, he lunged at her and she through him, making him land on his back on the floor.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP6hkGTWjU
"Oh, my God. Jeremy."
She knelt at his side.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYXV2kSKXT
"Jer, wake up. Jer. Please wake up, Jer," she called.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8gUv09rBD
Suddenly, before she could react, he attacked her and she felt something go into the side of her neck.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv8NNsRwwR
Jeremy got to his feet and stood over her.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspMNKwMyKn
She was on her knees on the floor, as she used one hand to try and locate what was in the side of her neck. Blood ran down the side of her neck, as she tried. Then her vision went blurry, and it was as if she couldn't breathe. She knew what it felt like to get a burn from vervain, but she hadn't been vervained until now.
Katherine Pierce was in the crowd of people that didn't know her, when she smelled a faint scent of fear mixed with blood. So she followed the scent trail.
When she arrived in the parlor, she saw Jeremy with a stake raised to kill his sister. Elena was on her back in very bad condition. She didn't know why Elena was a vampire or why Jeremy was going to kill her, but Elena was her family.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFpbUFhVst
At vamp speed, she grabbed him and through him, making him hit a wall and land on the floor out cold.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1h3pfsZjm
Katherine knelt down at her descendant's side and pulled the vervained piece of wood out of the side of her neck, ignoring the pain. She set it on the floor and looked down at her.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbE3XHBhxW
"Elena, can you hear me? It's me," she called to her.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcAVAmEyre
Elena heard a familiar female voice, but she couldn't respond to it. She was too tired. She couldn't think.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW91crLQcYS
"Elena, stay with me. Stay awake," Katherine begged.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5NqoWLATh
She pulled a barely conscious Elena gently into her arms and bit her wrist. She then put it to her lips.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyAS0NbjNt
"Elena, drink," she said.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWm8I4TDTQ
As darkness started to fog her mind, Elena felt the familiar liquid and started to drink.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP40DuT6tGd
The elder vampiress sighed in relief, as she watched Elena drink. It relieved her that the last of her Petrova bloodline family would be okay. Even though she hadn't shown it until now, family meant everything to her.
When Elena felt like herself again, she stopped drinking and opened her eyes, only to see Katherine Pierce.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MliP6KlxH
Elena sat up and Katherine let go of her.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ4Yh7rcqe
"Katherine?"712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlCe3jRPJ2
"It's me," she said.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR914PaxWb
"You saved me."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JEti5bcKl
"A thank you would be nice," Kat commented.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsNjEGYEAs
"What are you doing back?"712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQfqzGCcys
"Hiding from an old enemy."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKnPiWoMbB
"Klaus?" Elena guessed.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWd1XtOxdI
"No. Someone else. Another Original. Apparently, I'm here saving you, too."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrnirnC8Iy
"Thanks," Elena said.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0J7NBHyDV
Kat watched Elena get to her feet and go over to check on her brother, before she got to her own feet. She felt weak now, though, and staggered back against a wall. Her vision was blurry and unfocused. Then everything became distant and gray. She knew she should have fed, but food had been scarce for the past month. Then she felt pain in her head, as her head hit something. Another pain came from something else, but she didn't know what.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinvfwZM8GT
Elena looked over her shoulder, smelling blood. Then, seeing Katherine on her back on the floor, was instantly at her side.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAktJdHPr2
Seeing Elena and knowing Elena didn't know what was happening to her, she spoke as darkness started to close in.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50YnTM8HG5
"I haven't eaten for a while. I've been too busy hiding."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQVFpLeqKQ
Elena realized that the vampiress was in need of food; vampire food. She also knew that she smelled blood. So, she scanned for the source.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQiJdEZeAA
"Hang in there," Elena encouraged, as the vampiress started to black out.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH1xcRFrb6
Just then she saw a pool of blood start to form around her shoulders. That meant something had wounded her in the back.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBw4ze8q8d
Elena gently pulled her into her arms and pulled a knife out of the middle of her back between her shoulder blades. When she did, Katherine gasped softly and groaned. Elena then tossed the knife to the floor and took Kat's jacket off. She bundled it up and set it on the floor, before gently laying her down away from the blood, jacket under head.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5toWUiCBal
"Katherine, if you can hear me, you'll be okay."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINTbhssqSA
Elena bit her wrist and put it to an out cold Katherine's lips, making it go down her throat, while listening to her labored breathing. With her free hand, she held Katherine's left hand.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe9FGlFHV4
"Fight it, Katherine. Don't die on me. You saved me. Now it's my turn."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkOOjtl2bs
She looked down at her pale, dying descendant. Veins were showing on her, but they were slowly disappearing from sight. She knew that was a good sign.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdW3pdgtVl
After a few more minutes, she took her wrist away, which instantly healed. She then picked her gently up in her arms, grabbed Kat's jacket, got to her feet, and headed out the back to get Katherine to the boarding house.
Katherine groaned, as she opened her eyes. She was in a room in someone's bed. And as her focus settled, she saw Elena seated on her bedside.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm39YhoYNt
"You worried me," Elena greeted.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPSpv71XH8
"I guess we both did. Thanks for saving my life. Sorry I scared you."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBAnXDh9GJ
"It's okay. Just don't do that again."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIluC3SuXfY
She knew Elena meant for her not to be stupid like that ever again.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl57aX0uWSz
"Is your brother okay?" she asked her.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknVioWcsWG
"Jeremy's fine. He apologized to me and everything. He wasn't himself. He's a potential."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt9g0yGltF
Kat knew what Elena was saying.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1E9UWPYJY
"We have our work cut out for us then," she said to Elena.
"Yeah; we do."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46q1rxzTRn
Kat slowly sat up in bed.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaFjze0Gvo
"I'll owe you someday for this."712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTodpoND1Nb
They looked at one another in silence.
