It was late afternoon, as Katherine Pierce tried to get to where she was now staying at; her apartment. She was worn out, though. She had gotten herself attacked; shot. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She only knew that she wasn't healing and she was weak. She didn't want to be seen like this, so she wanted to try and get inside her apartment.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaMijcm6Ur
Suddenly, she felt weaker and then felt the ground. She then sat against a vehicle, as her vision started to fade away.
When Elena smelled her scent, she followed it. It was an almost faint scent, though.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCQ3EopfWp
When she saw her sitting against a white Minivan, she started forward, unsure if she was playing one of her games or not. Her head was down, but she could see her eyes were closed. She could smell a small scent of blood, too.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabXbd05OqM
Suddenly, Damon Salvatore was at her side and grabbed her arm.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRt3MeVpQY
"Elena, go. Find Rebekah. We're leaving."622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkBbN4KskL
He watched her vanish, before rushing to Kat's side at vamp speed.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlqoOzxGvd
He knelt in front of her.
"Katherine?" he called.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMByy543Efw
She groaned.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5dWGzXewm
He scanned her with his eyes and saw that she was hurt. Her wounds were bleeding a little and she wasn't healing. He knew from the sire bond that she was dying.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ykjonQKFV
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet with her in his arms.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaM5NqDyPu
"You'll be okay, Katherine," he promised. "Just stay with me."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pcAhfFl0l
At vamp speed, he was by his car he had parked not far away. He then opened the passenger's door and gently sat her in the passenger's seat, before closing the door and going around the other side to get in the driver's seat.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJCFkhzVQQ
Once inside, he looked over at his sire.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOxFOIBrTA
"Hang in there, Kat," he said, using his old nickname for her.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhaJbG48Uk
A moment later, Elena and Rebekah got in the back seat and closed their doors.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTGBIOCftY
"Why are we saving Katherine?" Rebekah asked, as Damon drove as fast as he could back to Mystic Falls.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1u8RrTC1X
"One, she's the only one that knows where the cure is. Two, we need her for more than one reason."622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPVZzQwoGz
"You make it sound like she's older and knows more than I do."622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq7wrUTUsG
"Technically, she knows more than you," he answered Rebekah.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSELXFf23gT
Elena was silent.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDlrMLGJFd
There was another reason Damon was saving her, but he wasn't going to tell either of the vampiressess. He knew they wouldn't like it. The last reason he was saving her was because he cared about her. He didn't want to watch his sire die.
Once at home, Elena followed Damon inside the boarding house. She then stopped in the living room and watched him lay Katherine gently down on the couch.
When Katherine awoke, she was in the living room on the couch, Damon by the couch, Elena standing by the fireplace.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrAeNKIjue
"Katherine," he greeted.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQBjrjsilC
"Damon," she greeted back.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAc7bUP6aU
They smiled at one another.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKIOVKzggv
She sat up, feeling like herself again.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyl3DIYKgJ
"Thanks," she said to him.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgvBp7UFgU
"You're welcome," he replied.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch1RfbBrPX
He helped her to her feet.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MC3h65qop
Katherine and Damon looked at one another.
