It was a dark night, as Katherine reached the compound, limping, vision going grey, heavily bleeding from her wounds. And once on the Mikaelson doorstep, she felt something hard beneath her, vision going black.373Please respect copyright.PENANAGMTvaaRW7A

Klaus on his way out when he smell blood; human blood. And once he opened the door, he was shocked to see a very human Katerina on her back on the porch.373Please respect copyright.PENANANHJCIbcytB
He knelt down beside her.373Please respect copyright.PENANATRlJXW1hdq
“Katerina?” he called, as he assessed her condition and wounds with his eyes.373Please respect copyright.PENANAw6mSadOTRa
“Klaus…” she murmured, barely awake.373Please respect copyright.PENANAgTbnOjKRT1
He pulled her gently into his arms.373Please respect copyright.PENANAE4yM2b4pvN
“I’m here, luv,” he assured her.373Please respect copyright.PENANA8blGN5yx7i
He got to his feet with her in his arms and hybrid-sped inside to his room.373Please respect copyright.PENANAnKlmxehSEx

By the time he had gently layed her down on her back on his bed, she had blacked out.373Please respect copyright.PENANAk59Qgx2hY2
He sat on her bedside and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her after what looked to be a vampire attack, hoping it would work, knowing that she had gotten the cure shoved down her throat.373Please respect copyright.PENANAwH8COEzs2z
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and her wounds and his wrist healed.373Please respect copyright.PENANAH4LBpSlngD
He sighed in relief, glad that she would live to see another day. He had never shown it, but he had always secretly loved her and cared about her.373Please respect copyright.PENANAkQOWJ3wqbu
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face, looking down at her, and waited for her to awaken.373Please respect copyright.PENANAc1jkRTidbE

When she woke up, it was still dark outside and she was in Klaus’ room, who was seated on her bedside, looking down at her like he cared for her.373Please respect copyright.PENANA0LWA7YtpJ6
“Tell me who did that to you,” he said, before she could say anything.373Please respect copyright.PENANAkGhDuw1nt2
“It was a vampire. That’s all I know. Why didn’t you kill me when you had the chance? I’m not worth anything to you anymore. I’m useless to you; especially, now that I’m a weak, helpless human.”373Please respect copyright.PENANApRjBBUdkFU
“Is it so hard to believe that I care about what happens to you?” he questioned her.373Please respect copyright.PENANA5a2RRPURRs
“Yes.”373Please respect copyright.PENANAg40A9nFkLC
“Apart from what I did 500 years ago, why?”373Please respect copyright.PENANACPzUZ47Ccq
“Because like me, you’ll always be that monster,” she replied.373Please respect copyright.PENANAE10KUodjW8
“Is that really what you think of me? A monster? I saved your life tonight. I even refrained from showing up back in Mystic Falls to see you. I kept my distance, despite your change.”373Please respect copyright.PENANAqdlM8uXPPX
“If you want to help me, then do it. All I’ve had this summer is fear, loneliness, and hatred.”373Please respect copyright.PENANA5HWK9pxUPG
“Then I’ll help you. Despite what you think, we are alike, you and I.”373Please respect copyright.PENANAbrwWfb8m9Y
She gave a smile.373Please respect copyright.PENANAjkfe7NaMbd
“That we are.”373Please respect copyright.PENANAYt4nz9sAu8
He smiled back.373Please respect copyright.PENANAkxaKdJmi4J
A moment later, they were kissing with him on top.373Please respect copyright.PENANAvRy69Y1Qbk
