Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.516Please respect copyright.PENANAoeZ4Gr2xPP
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.516Please respect copyright.PENANA1hUKPtykek
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.516Please respect copyright.PENANABcfOMEfncY
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.516Please respect copyright.PENANAGxqAuKt7kO
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.516Please respect copyright.PENANASLgUdJxGb8
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.516Please respect copyright.PENANAcNLMmEkpj1
"I was bitten by the hybrids he sent after me. I need your help. I need his blood; the cure. Please, Rebekah," she said, almost begging the Original sister.516Please respect copyright.PENANAdSsT0CmYL4
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.516Please respect copyright.PENANA629Q35IZOK
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.516Please respect copyright.PENANAfWFsBDiwPb
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.516Please respect copyright.PENANApjauTw0WMG
"Drink."516Please respect copyright.PENANA1U1DZtKjgs
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.516Please respect copyright.PENANAJBgbhUbSrv
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.516Please respect copyright.PENANAgzAkhnH1bm
"Thank you."516Please respect copyright.PENANAyIr0qc6O3C
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.516Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2TKaAj4ES
"You won't. I promise."516Please respect copyright.PENANApzuA16TcrJ
"Good."516Please respect copyright.PENANAb42jF0LjzH
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"516Please respect copyright.PENANAMI4a7fbR2l
"A lot; Alaric was turned by mother and alerted the council. They want us all dead I guess. But Alaric is dead now, Stefan is trying to get back to his old habits, and I killed Elena and almost Matt. I wanted Alaric dead and Elena was tied to him. I thought Alaric killed my brother. Now Elena's a vampire. Apparently, she had Damon's blood in her system. And I didn't know that."516Please respect copyright.PENANA2dppu43f2O
"Wow. I missed a lot," is all she could say to that. Since Rebekah hadn't known, she couldn't be mad at her for Elena turning into a vampire.516Please respect copyright.PENANApzflXUdugY
Suddenly, arrows started flying.516Please respect copyright.PENANATN3MdtlloT
"Get the blood and vervain! Just in case! Then we have to go!" Katherine yelled and grabbed the blood, putt it in a bag. Rebekah obeyed and did the same with the vervain, putting it in the same bag.
They made it outside the Mystic Grille, before everything started to unfocus for Katherine, and Rebekah grew pale and weak. Rebekah had taken an arrow in the middle of her chest, while Katherine had taken an arrow in the leg.
Rebekah slid down the wall to sit down, while Katherine set the bag down and knelt beside her.516Please respect copyright.PENANAOm37eGv80k
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.516Please respect copyright.PENANAwO031vmY59
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.516Please respect copyright.PENANANQGq7Q9IQx
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.516Please respect copyright.PENANAydJ7rXhMUB
"It's us," Kat answered him.516Please respect copyright.PENANAobOzOPMbwA
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"516Please respect copyright.PENANA8HFNJ7GHCy
"She saved my life. Then we had to leave. We got shot with arrows; me in the leg and Rebekah in the chest. But we're both still alive. We're right outside the Mystic Grille. We need help, Damon. Something was on them. You should try and keep her awake, while I go see if anyone's in there."516Please respect copyright.PENANAyx4UdMVNCG
"Will do," he replied to his sire.516Please respect copyright.PENANATb7U00x577
She got to her feet and used the wall to hold herself up, as she staggered towards the door and opened it enough so they only saw one hand, her upper body, and unhurt leg. Then she leaned on the door and scanned the crowd within, stopping when she saw Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes.516Please respect copyright.PENANAORjCL7y8Uj
Caroline saw Katherine.516Please respect copyright.PENANA8J7bG8ar7B
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."516Please respect copyright.PENANAb9SAUZHJ1i
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.516Please respect copyright.PENANAZjuUCxdPX6
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.516Please respect copyright.PENANAdFoZNkj7AC
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."516Please respect copyright.PENANAEIW8pgBglI
"Let's go," Tyler said.516Please respect copyright.PENANAtvXX9cVrN3
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.516Please respect copyright.PENANAAutqqt1qQp
They stopped by Rebekah.516Please respect copyright.PENANAnUdAkJ182O
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.516Please respect copyright.PENANAqPXs5xHUmp
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.516Please respect copyright.PENANA9CEFPIUl1h
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."516Please respect copyright.PENANAEuCl74ABOs
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.516Please respect copyright.PENANAoic4jpL2bC
"Katherine, hang in there. Damon's coming," Tyler instructed the Petrova vampiress, unsure of what to do or what else to say.
Damon hung up soon after.
Not long afterward, Damon arrived. He instantly went to stand in front of Katherine.516Please respect copyright.PENANA9WSPcMspbR
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."516Please respect copyright.PENANA1dAQ7a9CHg
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.516Please respect copyright.PENANAwfgsV4w7hv
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.516Please respect copyright.PENANANEVBb9b7KB
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.516Please respect copyright.PENANA731Im9fWxj
He caught her, as she lost her balance, unable to stand. And as he picked her up, he realized how weak she was. He felt her rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his neck.516Please respect copyright.PENANAkPIAvKCMmg
"Stay awake, Kat," he instructed, as he sped towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Once inside, Damon gently sat her in Elena's recliner, while Tyler carried Rebekah upstairs to the guest room, which was formerly Ric's room, and before that, Elena's Aunt Jenna's room. Tyler and Caroline stayed with Rebekah, while Damon stayed in the living room with his sire. Elena stood by and watched.516Please respect copyright.PENANAl5ED4QaBTF
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.516Please respect copyright.PENANAOZvOKpNdJh
"Kat, stay with me."516Please respect copyright.PENANA1SZRDSHQA5
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.516Please respect copyright.PENANACB0iH5xlV5
"The Council shot them with arrows. Something's on them. We need Meredith over here. She might know what's on them and how to cure them. And you need to call Klaus. He'll want to know about his sister."516Please respect copyright.PENANAFKbiTRg77d
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.516Please respect copyright.PENANAJy4nFLhGW1
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.516Please respect copyright.PENANA5DjIRFTyKJ
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.516Please respect copyright.PENANAWeADPAMKd8
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.516Please respect copyright.PENANAQVrvnariiX
"Let me try then," Klaus said. "Katerina, you have to stay awake. Think of your family. If you die now, you would've been fighting for nothing. You would've survived this long for nothing. You've been fighting for 500 years, Katerina. Don't give up now. You can't. We won't let you die," he told his former doppelganger, meaning it all. He had trust and faith in her now. And he cared about her. He then added to Elena, "I'm coming over to help. You'll have to invite me in. After this is all over though, you can uninvited me." He then hung up.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAdWpNaD9XTA
Half an hour later, he arrived and Elena invited him in. He walked into the living room and Damon stepped away, watching as he knelt in front of her.516Please respect copyright.PENANAkMexhIndp2
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.516Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1MbYpsBqi
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.516Please respect copyright.PENANA1TYVdI695o
"Klaus," she said back.516Please respect copyright.PENANA35Pm7SEh7j
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.516Please respect copyright.PENANApHKB3j4yFJ
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.516Please respect copyright.PENANAF3R2U60fbw
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.516Please respect copyright.PENANAEzc9rIcVJB
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.516Please respect copyright.PENANA9jldVaM7F6
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.516Please respect copyright.PENANAieBaOU9jQQ
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.516Please respect copyright.PENANAswDeoEXTpH
So they did and both got better.516Please respect copyright.PENANAKxJuVoP7M3
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAmLbAoCobVA
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.516Please respect copyright.PENANA5Kli0mB9C3
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.516Please respect copyright.PENANAZGOCUTT05h
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.516Please respect copyright.PENANAE3lVyXVpCM
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I know how it feels. It's different for everyone, but I want to help you. You're my family, Elena. I may not show it, but I care. I really do care."516Please respect copyright.PENANAsg1LAoArj4
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"516Please respect copyright.PENANANcfrqMTGYP
"I'm sorry, Elena. I would've been here if I didn't have hybrids on my tail. But I'm here to stay now. I'll help you in any way I can."516Please respect copyright.PENANA9lJNgVKGqM
"You want the truth, Katherine? I'm tired. All I try to do is fight and do the right thing. But Damon said I have to drink from the vein. I don't want to and it's killing me, trying to not drink from the vein. He told me I can't drink animal blood and I can't. He said I could only drink from the vein and that's all I can do. I can't even keep Damon's blood down. What am I going to do?"516Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ25v3raga
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.516Please respect copyright.PENANAZVi9Xkou0T
"Yeah. Why?"516Please respect copyright.PENANAGKgvvHHrud
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.516Please respect copyright.PENANALfulniNBXv
"It can't be," Kat whispered.516Please respect copyright.PENANAtZVKrIocQN
"What?"516Please respect copyright.PENANAnwUlIU5ihi
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"516Please respect copyright.PENANAhflWDDXsHS
"But what?"516Please respect copyright.PENANALhpi1TdNwK
"You're sired to Damon."516Please respect copyright.PENANAqD5ZcRhj2B
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.516Please respect copyright.PENANAv1YXahiqxU
"I don't know, but it happens once in a while. It can be broken. We just have to convince him to free you from the sire bond."516Please respect copyright.PENANABwWqjAwehf
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
