It was a dark night as Damon staggered through the Mystic Falls streets, very warm and sweating, not exactly himself. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsruAu5TIXP

Meanwhile, Katherine was out looking for her elder childe, having found that he was MIA.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy1yvrly6H

Once she found him, he began to hallucinate and pinned her to a pole, her back up against it.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl59xVIwmY
"I choose you, Katherine."698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GmtZRB0JB
When he went for the side of her neck, she knew what he was hallucinating.

It was a dark night in the Mystic Falls woods, as Katherine stood with her back up against a tree, human Damon in front of her. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7438KWLUP
She used a fingernail to make a cut on her left collarbone. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2ziwKDK0f
"If you want it, take it," she instructed, teaching him something she had always done as long as she had been a vampire; take whatever you want, no matter the cost to others. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA836TYsvt8
He bent towards the cut. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhqiBzUHmi
"I choose you, Katherine."698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnIlws01FC
She smiled.

She rested gentle but firm hands on either side of his head, making him stop, keeping him from biting her and making him look at her. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTFyXuCz4u
"You're hallucinating, Damon; stop," she said gently. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej5U7yQPRF
"Katherine?" he said, looking at her, realizing he had almost bitten her in the present, when he had hallucinated. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl0YRHJLxt
"I'm here. It's okay. You didn't hurt me," she assured him. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglsYPrWFbW
He let her go and stepped back, which turned into a stagger. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvyGPatYhk
When he began to lose his balance from sudden weakness, she was instantly beside him and put an arm around him to help him. She then used her body weight to keep him on his feet. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvbo0kpaOv
"Let's go home," she stated.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z3HpIeLBX

Half an hour later, he lay in bed with his sire wetting his face down with a cool wet wash cloth. He was very pale and weak. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAos6LmAMR7
As she sat beside him on his bed, she felt helpless. She was helpless next to him. She was his sire and girlfriend. She was supposed to protect or at least save him, but all she could do was watch him slowly and painfully die. Her only hope was for Stefan to get the cure and bring it in time. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW894daYdFc
"You should go. I could hurt you," he whispered. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvouEv8de5
"You won't. I'm here until the very end."698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl5hLgP3Ty
"I love you," he replied in susurration, thinking this may be the last time he'd get to say it. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaUQzxdkAJ
"I love you, too."698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoel68Q9Uw
She bent down and kissed him, before pulling away. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MvpPZcCkK
He closed his eyes. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA435AG9ThG
"Thank...you," he managed to whisper. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDphkil2Z5G
A moment later, Klaus walked in with a vial of blood in hand.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqkluSeHmx
She sensed a presence, so she turned to look and was surprised that he was there with the cure, instead of Stefan. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvEpAmcjTC
"I hate to interrupt dear Katerina, but here you go," he said, walking over to her. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU34sgZMj5
She took it from him. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXonbeRlu4
"Where's Stefan?" she questioned. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx4DNBQvRE
"Oh, he's paying for this; bringing out his inner demons. See you around, Katerina," he replied, before vanishing. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaWfgMwid7
She turned back to Damon and uncorked the vial, before putting it to his lips, making the blood go down his throat. 698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz5JBpsJg3

Half an hour later he came to, cured, and she told him what he had missed. Now it was time to get Stefan back on track.
