Katherine woke up later that night, having gotten her neck snapped, feeling as if she had been vervained. She felt weak and realized that she was tied to a post in an old barn. She saw that Stefan was there with a dagger in one hand and his phone in the other, which meant that he had done this to her. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAiX2sNZ9cGx
"What are you doing, Stefan?" she weakly asked him. 430Please respect copyright.PENANARNlAyxPP0x
"Klaus is being stubborn, so I'm going to make him see it my way. He wants you alive. Otherwise, he would've killed you when he had the chance. You're leverage."430Please respect copyright.PENANAXaMAaXXYmN
She knew what he was getting at. Klaus didn't want to hand his family coffins over, so Stefan was resorting to drastic measures. If Klaus didn't hand them over or make the deal to do so, Stefan would kill her; his own sire. Once again, her life was hanging in the balance. 430Please respect copyright.PENANA8SQoRiqRHq
She watched, as he called someone, over-hearing both sides, because of her vampire hearing. 430Please respect copyright.PENANA1VeW1woTjI
"Where are you?" Klaus asked. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAf6fLe1Cw9K
"I'll give you a hint. I'm in the middle of nowhere with Katherine. Now, I want you to hand over those coffins," he replied, as he walked over to his sire.430Please respect copyright.PENANAgd4KIIOQwA
"Why should I?"430Please respect copyright.PENANACAbcEnGAln
"Because if you don't, Katherine won't live to see tomorrow."430Please respect copyright.PENANAE50o7fGCAw
Careful to not let the blade or dagger touch him, he stabbed her in the chest.430Please respect copyright.PENANA045Vb7Oq5v
"What did you do?" Klaus asked, hearing Katerina in pain. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAvuQKUtTADb
"I stabbed her in the chest. Sure, that won't kill her alone, but dip werewolf poison in a dagger and it's just as effective as a werewolf bite. Or move it closer and it'll go right through her heart."430Please respect copyright.PENANAMcRloITVKc
"No," she said weakly, knowing she was dying. 430Please respect copyright.PENANA7yTo8eaDwO
"You wouldn't kill your sire," Klaus said. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAzlYk4w6Y01
"You wanna bet?" Stefan replied. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAPgHxJ2f7JP
"I know my brother better than anyone and right now, I don't know how far he's willing to go. So when he tells you to blink, I suggest you blink," Damon said. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAZUWzKZMSLo
"Do we have a deal or not?" Stefan asked. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAyKCzlsqNPm
"Yes; we have a deal," Klaus replied. 430Please respect copyright.PENANACiyAkdI7KX
"Good. You'll find her in the barn. I'll leave the cure here," Stefan informed them, before hanging up. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAMKTat21q7x
Stefan pulled the dagger out and then left the cure on a stack of hay by the door, before vanishing. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAW9EBUTmZe7
430Please respect copyright.PENANAz1HAHzC1Lq
430Please respect copyright.PENANAzTZk64aq0K
Damon arrived in the barn to see Katherine tied to a post, out cold, head down and pale, a vial of the cure not far away.430Please respect copyright.PENANAzaAgNgTYV6
He was instantly in front of her. 430Please respect copyright.PENANAGzlRWT4Mso
He gently rested a hand between her shoulder blades and used his free hand to snap the ropes. He then caught her, arm under her head, hand between her shoulder blades, holding her up. He then gently layed her down on the ground on her back to retrieve the vial. 430Please respect copyright.PENANA0mZqKHzqzI
He knelt at her side when he had the cure in hand, and put it to her lips, making the blood go down her throat to save her life. 430Please respect copyright.PENANA3kl2lxAulo
When it was finished, he gently picked her up in his arms and then vanished for home.430Please respect copyright.PENANAyrkhkgn4VQ
