It was a dark night as Damon staggered through the Mystic Falls streets, very warm and sweating, not exactly himself. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAtRHCeDM8BW

Meanwhile, Katherine was out looking for her elder childe, having found that he was MIA.728Please respect copyright.PENANAymV65Cq1gH

Once she found him, he began to hallucinate and pinned her to a pole, her back up against it.728Please respect copyright.PENANAcKIWPciHra
"I choose you, Katherine."728Please respect copyright.PENANA9r6U8dDu7S
When he went for the side of her neck, she knew what he was hallucinating.

It was a dark night in the Mystic Falls woods, as Katherine stood with her back up against a tree, human Damon in front of her. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAgAeSRdwbG3
She used a fingernail to make a cut on her left collarbone. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAE1GWShatjb
"If you want it, take it," she instructed, teaching him something she had always done as long as she had been a vampire; take whatever you want, no matter the cost to others. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAeEoelik8gb
He bent towards the cut. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAljgBNpIZ3U
"I choose you, Katherine."728Please respect copyright.PENANAjjdcNdQvne
She smiled.

She rested gentle but firm hands on either side of his head, making him stop, keeping him from biting her and making him look at her. 728Please respect copyright.PENANA0o3uSWNYwh
"You're hallucinating, Damon; stop," she said gently. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAdPcktl6JNL
"Katherine?" he said, looking at her, realizing he had almost bitten her in the present, when he had hallucinated. 728Please respect copyright.PENANA6WXXbhK62u
"I'm here. It's okay. You didn't hurt me," she assured him. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAr0ciQpeb0Y
He let her go and stepped back, which turned into a stagger. 728Please respect copyright.PENANALAvzcFLMsn
When he began to lose his balance from sudden weakness, she was instantly beside him and put an arm around him to help him. She then used her body weight to keep him on his feet. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAgd6YwKBhxH
"Let's go home," she stated.728Please respect copyright.PENANARq7CsyfQO9
728Please respect copyright.PENANAcn1mVXBgiP

Half an hour later, he lay in bed with his sire wetting his face down with a cool wet wash cloth. He was very pale and weak. 728Please respect copyright.PENANALgjf54VJKd
As she sat beside him on his bed, she felt helpless. She was helpless next to him. She was his sire and girlfriend. She was supposed to protect or at least save him, but all she could do was watch him slowly and painfully die. Her only hope was for Stefan to get the cure and bring it in time. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAF0xftRCce4
"You should go. I could hurt you," he whispered. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAWNHHsTnDnc
"You won't. I'm here until the very end."728Please respect copyright.PENANAphGfobKOyg
"I love you," he replied in susurration, thinking this may be the last time he'd get to say it. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAWS0Z6IZkV2
"I love you, too."728Please respect copyright.PENANAcEo8Vgl8Wf
She bent down and kissed him, before pulling away. 728Please respect copyright.PENANA2zcYtbymYw
He closed his eyes. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAHlU3fQBO6t
"Thank...you," he managed to whisper. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAKtzcJ1CbA6
A moment later, Klaus walked in with a vial of blood in hand.728Please respect copyright.PENANAi2Pxz8wIS8
She sensed a presence, so she turned to look and was surprised that he was there with the cure, instead of Stefan. 728Please respect copyright.PENANA30YplyQqba
"I hate to interrupt dear Katerina, but here you go," he said, walking over to her. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAsWRK8Zq9dP
She took it from him. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAlsMUJSpeTi
"Where's Stefan?" she questioned. 728Please respect copyright.PENANA0jFOUF8Ecj
"Oh, he's paying for this; bringing out his inner demons. See you around, Katerina," he replied, before vanishing. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAVq5bntiqtt
She turned back to Damon and uncorked the vial, before putting it to his lips, making the blood go down his throat. 728Please respect copyright.PENANAr8ZGxUmsJM
728Please respect copyright.PENANA48TeccxvA4

Half an hour later he came to, cured, and she told him what he had missed. Now it was time to get Stefan back on track.
