It was late afternoon, as Katherine Pierce tried to get to where she was now staying at; her apartment. She was worn out, though. She had gotten herself attacked; shot. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She only knew that she wasn't healing and she was weak. She didn't want to be seen like this, so she wanted to try and get inside her apartment.694Please respect copyright.PENANAM3GPytQVKK
Suddenly, she felt weaker and then felt the ground. She then sat against a vehicle, as her vision started to fade away.
When Elena smelled her scent, she followed it. It was an almost faint scent, though.694Please respect copyright.PENANAxnDN8vTSL4
When she saw her sitting against a white Minivan, she started forward, unsure if she was playing one of her games or not. Her head was down, but she could see her eyes were closed. She could smell a small scent of blood, too.694Please respect copyright.PENANAYe8JEugGxr
Suddenly, Damon Salvatore was at her side and grabbed her arm.694Please respect copyright.PENANAYEmUeBBiyS
"Elena, go. Find Rebekah. We're leaving."694Please respect copyright.PENANALT570mqqyH
He watched her vanish, before rushing to Kat's side at vamp speed.694Please respect copyright.PENANALxiPAxnCOh
He knelt in front of her.
"Katherine?" he called.694Please respect copyright.PENANANHNfwwIKJq
She groaned.694Please respect copyright.PENANAmnACck5Bs0
He scanned her with his eyes and saw that she was hurt. Her wounds were bleeding a little and she wasn't healing. He knew from the sire bond that she was dying.694Please respect copyright.PENANAJDeq7mrvvO
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet with her in his arms.694Please respect copyright.PENANAJFm9EMRqz2
"You'll be okay, Katherine," he promised. "Just stay with me."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAf9ZN0KVWhl
At vamp speed, he was by his car he had parked not far away. He then opened the passenger's door and gently sat her in the passenger's seat, before closing the door and going around the other side to get in the driver's seat.694Please respect copyright.PENANAabOmULBAd7
Once inside, he looked over at his sire.694Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0FdYgdVon
"Hang in there, Kat," he said, using his old nickname for her.694Please respect copyright.PENANAM64vs553hC
A moment later, Elena and Rebekah got in the back seat and closed their doors.694Please respect copyright.PENANAoiEn98ui5G
"Why are we saving Katherine?" Rebekah asked, as Damon drove as fast as he could back to Mystic Falls.694Please respect copyright.PENANA8R3HSVdEBV
"One, she's the only one that knows where the cure is. Two, we need her for more than one reason."694Please respect copyright.PENANAFjwrk5ORZX
"You make it sound like she's older and knows more than I do."694Please respect copyright.PENANAa2UPL2ex2w
"Technically, she knows more than you," he answered Rebekah.694Please respect copyright.PENANA234z7I2mYW
Elena was silent.694Please respect copyright.PENANAYQiSIuZtbX
There was another reason Damon was saving her, but he wasn't going to tell either of the vampiressess. He knew they wouldn't like it. The last reason he was saving her was because he cared about her. He didn't want to watch his sire die.
Once at home, Elena followed Damon inside the boarding house. She then stopped in the living room and watched him lay Katherine gently down on the couch.
When Katherine awoke, she was in the living room on the couch, Damon by the couch, Elena standing by the fireplace.694Please respect copyright.PENANA3OtYUt3D52
"Katherine," he greeted.694Please respect copyright.PENANAB3ZUH81q9K
"Damon," she greeted back.694Please respect copyright.PENANAHr8S6PBLfY
They smiled at one another.694Please respect copyright.PENANAhXnWedxN2a
She sat up, feeling like herself again.694Please respect copyright.PENANAuwtGsMHZA7
"Thanks," she said to him.694Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ11PlMRZH
"You're welcome," he replied.694Please respect copyright.PENANAhKxZM3yzSj
He helped her to her feet.694Please respect copyright.PENANAJT032pP2b3
Katherine and Damon looked at one another.
