It was a dark night as Damon staggered through the Mystic Falls streets, very warm and sweating, not exactly himself. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tcUc0qj2h

Meanwhile, Katherine was out looking for her elder childe, having found that he was MIA.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MDz7oZ9VR

Once she found him, he began to hallucinate and pinned her to a pole, her back up against it.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrpUITCnV2
"I choose you, Katherine."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXjLzBx0b6
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. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhnYlZH8et
She used a fingernail to make a cut on her left collarbone. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlpE1zlgkK
"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. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jHihEiFJg
He bent towards the cut. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6atyJg3VK
"I choose you, Katherine."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZFtCj79t6
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. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B8a8k6Iek
"You're hallucinating, Damon; stop," she said gently. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMZ0xr7ZIi
"Katherine?" he said, looking at her, realizing he had almost bitten her in the present, when he had hallucinated. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEXGxY8Wtc
"I'm here. It's okay. You didn't hurt me," she assured him. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyxSLJj4Jl
He let her go and stepped back, which turned into a stagger. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYa7yrloP1
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. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKRx96xX2L
"Let's go home," she stated.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWppGIv1dA

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. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeYjSpYAPw
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. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHzT5SlPM1
"You should go. I could hurt you," he whispered. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmCyxpr5Be
"You won't. I'm here until the very end."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mJ9WZfmsU
"I love you," he replied in susurration, thinking this may be the last time he'd get to say it. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaJc1cfrrH
"I love you, too."736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVjI4YgVjm
She bent down and kissed him, before pulling away. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRCiBpXgeY
He closed his eyes. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ewzpxTgtw
"Thank...you," he managed to whisper. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVgLnSDuW8
A moment later, Klaus walked in with a vial of blood in hand.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7HzK509eJ
She sensed a presence, so she turned to look and was surprised that he was there with the cure, instead of Stefan. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LaD9KqoIH
"I hate to interrupt dear Katerina, but here you go," he said, walking over to her. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExzHQzAEa0
She took it from him. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyKyUjWXsA
"Where's Stefan?" she questioned. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzCtU1e8OC
"Oh, he's paying for this; bringing out his inner demons. See you around, Katerina," he replied, before vanishing. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM1nXLYBTm
She turned back to Damon and uncorked the vial, before putting it to his lips, making the blood go down his throat. 736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VtRb2pIUa

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.
