It was a beautiful day, as Katherine Pierce walked into her residential home. And that's when she sensed someone else. She was standing by the threshold to the living room, when she turned around.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1ckSudxBE
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX1LbJCiXt
"James," she said in shock. And then, as a scent wafted over her and she heard Damon yell, "Katherine!", she was barely able to say, "Come in," inviting him inside.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPclpX0ha0
As Damon through James away from her, she staggered back once before losing her balance. And then, as she lay on her back, she knew the dagger had vervain on it.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbPXHRP7GB
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFYvwdOo0w
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEiqHjSxq5
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqZMH0fRQt
"How are you feeling?" he asked.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoaGWXe7qi
"Like I just got vervained."674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpAMEG455U
He saw that she didn't look good.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQCfdcGoGu
"Katherine, look at me."674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8NKvtHIlm
She tried to do as he said.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6KDNybKaR
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2tVS1nZef
"Damon," she said.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vuNpsNetZ
As she collapsed, he caught her from hitting the floor with a hand between her shoulder blades, an arm holding her up. Then he left the house to go home with her in his arms, knowing she would be okay once the vervain was out of her system. Blood would help, but not his. It would give her more vervain, since he mixed a little of vervain with alcohol every day and night. She needed someone else's. Maybe Elena would be willing.
Later, she awoke after Elena had given her some of her blood. Katherine could see that she was on the couch at the boarding house with Elena and Damon by the couch with worried faces.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOJHqLmT6v
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
