It was a dark night as Damon staggered through the Mystic Falls streets, very warm and sweating, not exactly himself. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAMkyUFzX5Yb

Meanwhile, Katherine was out looking for her elder childe, having found that he was MIA.865Please respect copyright.PENANACcC44Kcxbe

Once she found him, he began to hallucinate and pinned her to a pole, her back up against it.865Please respect copyright.PENANAb2FSP7hsxq
"I choose you, Katherine."865Please respect copyright.PENANAyCQ32A79NX
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. 865Please respect copyright.PENANABFrTkwsne2
She used a fingernail to make a cut on her left collarbone. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAjQpNsxsRau
"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. 865Please respect copyright.PENANANdBfD5mZYn
He bent towards the cut. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAowiN5WDpY9
"I choose you, Katherine."865Please respect copyright.PENANAeJQV1F4YRM
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. 865Please respect copyright.PENANA1KSCtKKUiA
"You're hallucinating, Damon; stop," she said gently. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAGIB0UsgDrY
"Katherine?" he said, looking at her, realizing he had almost bitten her in the present, when he had hallucinated. 865Please respect copyright.PENANA32QzCuFERf
"I'm here. It's okay. You didn't hurt me," she assured him. 865Please respect copyright.PENANA1iOTIwPyPE
He let her go and stepped back, which turned into a stagger. 865Please respect copyright.PENANApYr12gnqHV
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. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAuKvVxJDvAW
"Let's go home," she stated.865Please respect copyright.PENANANXfpxTLEJS
865Please respect copyright.PENANAyMNEHaroEi

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. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ9E5MxfCd
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. 865Please respect copyright.PENANA0S7RUc5cO4
"You should go. I could hurt you," he whispered. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAKw11u9RTSG
"You won't. I'm here until the very end."865Please respect copyright.PENANAamcglP2s96
"I love you," he replied in susurration, thinking this may be the last time he'd get to say it. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAWgn8SmAmmO
"I love you, too."865Please respect copyright.PENANARVLPfLB4m5
She bent down and kissed him, before pulling away. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAGjYz3EGFYX
He closed his eyes. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAfn9wSMQ19p
"Thank...you," he managed to whisper. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAn0MsELW0a1
A moment later, Klaus walked in with a vial of blood in hand.865Please respect copyright.PENANAdesufCYAsZ
She sensed a presence, so she turned to look and was surprised that he was there with the cure, instead of Stefan. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAPRdmQeAgjL
"I hate to interrupt dear Katerina, but here you go," he said, walking over to her. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAo6fRUxliDB
She took it from him. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAb3umsz1yyD
"Where's Stefan?" she questioned. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAWOlonvVx18
"Oh, he's paying for this; bringing out his inner demons. See you around, Katerina," he replied, before vanishing. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAi8doEWZh98
She turned back to Damon and uncorked the vial, before putting it to his lips, making the blood go down his throat. 865Please respect copyright.PENANAD5bAuJbRev
865Please respect copyright.PENANArqUiSigil1
865Please respect copyright.PENANACjSskBZnNl
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.
