Summary: Set in S5E1. What if Damon saved Kat from Silas when he tried to drown her? What if the vervain made Caroline black out when she had that water?641Please respect copyright.PENANAAGgqnzQejB
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, Virginia. Human Katherine was taking a bath upstairs in Damon's bathroom. She was alone in the Salvatore boarding house, because Damon was dealing with a Jeremy issue. She didn't know what issue it was, but she hoped he would be back soon in case any of her enemies came by to kill her tonight.641Please respect copyright.PENANASsciNhcdXx
Silas, at the moment, pretending to be Stefan, walked into the bathroom.641Please respect copyright.PENANAh3r9cVDvyR
"What are you doing in my brother's bathroom?" he asked her.641Please respect copyright.PENANAH2qeV3BE2W
"Isn't it obvious?" she said playfully. "Come join me."641Please respect copyright.PENANAjZTnykhHGf
He bent down by the tub.641Please respect copyright.PENANAaLyW98Sh1E
"You're human. That's good. You deserve it," he said to her, smiling.641Please respect copyright.PENANAKxBoQxfakB
Knowing Stefan would never say something like that, she knew he had to be Silas. So she reached over to grab a knife that she had in the corner as a weapon for herself.641Please respect copyright.PENANA80FMSuTqza
He grabbed her by the throat and her head slammed against a part of the tub.641Please respect copyright.PENANAeC2A5ADBGy
"Now I get to kill you," he said.641Please respect copyright.PENANA2r7vNIl6hC
She tried to fight him, as he held her under the water, hand around her throat, but he was immortal. He was much stronger than her.
When Damon walked in to see the scene, he through Silas away from her at vamp speed.641Please respect copyright.PENANAGz9owQiPgD
"Stay away from her," he warned Silas.641Please respect copyright.PENANA0OdxqdsdhA
Silas stared him down, before vanishing.641Please respect copyright.PENANALho0Zf1h4G
At vamp speed, Damon was by the tub. Without hesitation, he lifted her gently out of the tub and grabbed a white towel. He then layed it on the floor and gently layed her down on it.641Please respect copyright.PENANAygyEpGaK5p
"Katherine," he called to her. "It's me. Can you hear me, Kat? Katherine."641Please respect copyright.PENANA4lXY4z1Hq1
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face and gently patted her cheek, trying to wake her.641Please respect copyright.PENANAnpVlOorRCx
"Katherine, wake up. Come on. I didn't save your life for you to die on me."641Please respect copyright.PENANAlnn7RNPSrq
She opened her eyes to see him, but she felt weak, light-headed, tired, and disoriented.641Please respect copyright.PENANAqzMfOMZ47F
"Damon," she whispered.641Please respect copyright.PENANAosjqWEEmOD
"Hey," he greeted. "You're okay. You're alive."641Please respect copyright.PENANAOaDyOdcyCx
"Thanks," she managed.641Please respect copyright.PENANA5lwOHEAa1K
"You're welcome," he replied.641Please respect copyright.PENANACzYQJafAd7
A moment later, she blacked out.
When she awoke, she saw that she was in his bed in his room, fully clothed, Damon leaning in the doorway.641Please respect copyright.PENANApOtzKKRSvl
She sat up.641Please respect copyright.PENANAwU3cEfvUqM
"You saved my life, Damon. Thank you."641Please respect copyright.PENANAtEf731OFJg
"I know. For now, Silas has left."641Please respect copyright.PENANAyvq2a74796
"Good."
Caroline and Elena were at college with Megan as a roommate. They didn't know their roommate and had hoped to see Bonnie. They didn't know where she was, because they hadn't heard from her or seen her on campus.641Please respect copyright.PENANAAQsNz3oHWM
Megan and Elena weren't in the room. Elena had gone to check out a party, while Megan had gone to join the party. So Caroline decided to do a little snooping around in Megan's stuff. But then when she drank half a bottle of what said Vitamin water, she realized it was vervained water.641Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7qQLSuA0e
She fell to the floor from weakness and the burning sensation. And as she fell, she dropped the bottle and the rest of the water spilled onto the floor and burned her hand and arm from touch. When it did, she screamed in pain. And because there was vervain in her system, the room spun. Then everything went black for her.
Elena walked into the room to tell her about the party, when she saw her best friend and smelled vervain.641Please respect copyright.PENANAwFvdlyW44a
Elena was instantly at her side.641Please respect copyright.PENANA9Iv1BjjVKv
"Caroline. Caroline, wake up. Caroline," she called, while hoping Megan wouldn't walk in to see the scene.
When she came to, Elena knew she'd be okay.
When the end of the day was over for everyone, Elena and Caroline went to bed, Jeremy and Damon kept an eye on Katherine, and everyone kept a look out for Silas.
