It was a dark night as Damon staggered through the Mystic Falls streets, very warm and sweating, not exactly himself. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAQVbXzLAjaq

Meanwhile, Katherine was out looking for her elder childe, having found that he was MIA.661Please respect copyright.PENANAPhWHDmZnCt

Once she found him, he began to hallucinate and pinned her to a pole, her back up against it.661Please respect copyright.PENANAXauRH3NBKB
"I choose you, Katherine."661Please respect copyright.PENANAR5IFWZ3MdR
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. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAMTWqMZYm3T
She used a fingernail to make a cut on her left collarbone. 661Please respect copyright.PENANArFbwRSw5nB
"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. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAD2mtsiXhmJ
He bent towards the cut. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAqexHugMGxJ
"I choose you, Katherine."661Please respect copyright.PENANA4vAfAc4sts
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. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAkioqdLAFR0
"You're hallucinating, Damon; stop," she said gently. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAcO47MzA1Uf
"Katherine?" he said, looking at her, realizing he had almost bitten her in the present, when he had hallucinated. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAVEXU9IdPb5
"I'm here. It's okay. You didn't hurt me," she assured him. 661Please respect copyright.PENANA2MLEBiLbyP
He let her go and stepped back, which turned into a stagger. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAIETI4ltQOa
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. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAE9pmg117yM
"Let's go home," she stated.661Please respect copyright.PENANAUJKt8aIWYB
661Please respect copyright.PENANA7rAnt3aBoA

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. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAy3a6i3Zieh
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. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAoSglKX7Pqo
"You should go. I could hurt you," he whispered. 661Please respect copyright.PENANArD56HMUxz3
"You won't. I'm here until the very end."661Please respect copyright.PENANAPk1guvnGDJ
"I love you," he replied in susurration, thinking this may be the last time he'd get to say it. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAHyx7xKDlNd
"I love you, too."661Please respect copyright.PENANAEy3k6l6FrJ
She bent down and kissed him, before pulling away. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAe7E8AUJYgR
He closed his eyes. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAbgg86QyOuU
"Thank...you," he managed to whisper. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAcc0bpYPcop
A moment later, Klaus walked in with a vial of blood in hand.661Please respect copyright.PENANA08Sg94p4Lw
She sensed a presence, so she turned to look and was surprised that he was there with the cure, instead of Stefan. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAw2h1p0tF3E
"I hate to interrupt dear Katerina, but here you go," he said, walking over to her. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAFg9mhUxjSO
She took it from him. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAIW126hLqwN
"Where's Stefan?" she questioned. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAQrAaluvbtp
"Oh, he's paying for this; bringing out his inner demons. See you around, Katerina," he replied, before vanishing. 661Please respect copyright.PENANA0O8hYZMT3S
She turned back to Damon and uncorked the vial, before putting it to his lips, making the blood go down his throat. 661Please respect copyright.PENANAy1CdlRNlKq
661Please respect copyright.PENANA34QzPqKoTJ
661Please respect copyright.PENANACASaKxca2q
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.
