Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLp3GVhWWz
It was a dark night, as Kohl chased after Elena and Jeremy in their lake house. He headed up the stairs towards the Gilberts and headed for Jeremy. Elena got in his way and Jeremy fell down the stairs.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vLVrPYY6s
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt9gpsorIF
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pDB3tEXoP
"Yes," she answered.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqUiLpPs1F
He tried to get past her, but she didn't let him. He grabbed her and pinned her against a wall, before he broke a piece of wood off the railing and stabbed her with it.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHm8ftdyth
As she slid down the wall, she watched as he knelt beside her only brother. Then she saw Jeremy and Kol start fighting, before they disappeared from her sight. Then she saw Katherine at the door.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAepkVc3QM
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgknXSb7JJ
Come in, Elena thought back.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmGnMtGfgy
Katherine walked in and vanished to help Jeremy. She wanted to kill Kol but knew he needed to stay alive until Klaus came. He'd deal with Kol on his own terms.
Kol grabbed him and pinned him against the side of the bar.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YFdmCJqsr
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgQllbeyKk
With his free hand, he held a knife.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC8qAxRFbS
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV7lIWwTS2
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69raHTXjbB
"Katherine," Kol greeted.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccY4hNyuXM
"Kol, it's been a while. Jeremy, are you okay? Kol, I'd like to kill you for hurting the last of my family and Elena's family, but I won't. I'll leave you for Klaus to deal with."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXts81cB3in
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudscxnhtKn
"Because I just saved you."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FNIrhCEAL
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpx4vXxhCZ
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYvdbXPZiC
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxnKKgwC5W
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkxNTEI7k1
"You're welcome," she said.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMpUiRmAGj
"I'm going out," he replied.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lx9NJSwLo
She watched him leave.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSF6RY96Ur
As her strength began to ebb away, she knew she didn't have much time left. She let go of the bar and slid down it. She was dying from the hybrid bites. She had come here for help, because she needed the cure.
Elena entered the kitchen after healing, only to see that Katherine was the only one there. She could easily see that she was hurt and losing consciousness. She could smell blood, too.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGnIpFW04X
Elena knelt in front of her and saw how pale she looked. She saw that she was sweating. That's when she knew that she had been bitten and needed the cure.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6BkmVZfPC
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQbKcfNeuM
As Elena slid her hand under her to rest between her shoulder blades, and gently pulled her towards her, Katherine blacked out. She gently pulled the unconscious vampiress into her arms, and slid her free arm under her legs. Then, with vampire strength, Elena picked her up and headed for the door.
Once Katherine was in Damon's bed at the Salvatore boarding house, Elena got the cure from the cooler in the basement. She then made it go down her throat, until it was finished.
When Katherine woke up, she felt better. She saw that Elena was seated on her bedside.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgBJ9z3o06
"Thank you," Katherine said.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9tCq4RGuW
"You're welcome."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zAT3sCsuY
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHr5Vyw69B
"Thanks," Elena said.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMtKbolmyl
"You're welcome, Elena."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZMIDRLcro
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
