Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr7ptBjmoK
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0B7MSSarR
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zOR7r4Vqd
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMUX14AC1S
"Yes," she answered.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth1JfYrJ6r
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNm6APrFCA
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO9PvKTmwQ
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD56njeMrk
Come in, Elena thought back.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8OQN5Rd8t
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwwoEGpo1t
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9fPLRdL1b
With his free hand, he held a knife.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaNnF4goGE
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVIGG8jtbs
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZiEQ1xmwl
"Katherine," Kol greeted.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYfYvVygyP
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6NlrB1Ynf
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoSQYJlhxW
"Because I just saved you."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx21t1tcctm
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSmM0CPlWi
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT61zxXkVC8
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hHWveZ4D5
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2bVJuQPAt
"You're welcome," she said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWT6I2780T
"I'm going out," he replied.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsvTJXtSbY
She watched him leave.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMoiCWE7L3
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgADDYZ6kPC
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCzalVLjsx
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyCgeh32eb
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sUX4AyBhF
"Thank you," Katherine said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k9c7P6MpO
"You're welcome."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpivJBsPDqL
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8CEEKPVun
"Thanks," Elena said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7r619yoNK
"You're welcome, Elena."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxiLwHZO7x
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
