It was a beautiful day, as Katherine Pierce walked into her residential home. And that's when she sensed someone else. She was standing by the threshold to the living room, when she turned around.710Please respect copyright.PENANALfef0fwEPl
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.710Please respect copyright.PENANAuawHzfDXWK
"James," she said in shock. And then, as a scent wafted over her and she heard Damon yell, "Katherine!", she was barely able to say, "Come in," inviting him inside.710Please respect copyright.PENANAe0G1BCLa7F
As Damon through James away from her, she staggered back once before losing her balance. And then, as she lay on her back, she knew the dagger had vervain on it.710Please respect copyright.PENANAof19Bn8jDh
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.710Please respect copyright.PENANApLCNBYn17O
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.710Please respect copyright.PENANAkgArqjawMv
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.710Please respect copyright.PENANApEa9INc5gx
"How are you feeling?" he asked.710Please respect copyright.PENANAVWuxArCW95
"Like I just got vervained."710Please respect copyright.PENANAmKJVgLooqK
He saw that she didn't look good.710Please respect copyright.PENANACHGx8Vm3mv
"Katherine, look at me."710Please respect copyright.PENANAtDUILB2GOz
She tried to do as he said.710Please respect copyright.PENANAh12uobDZGv
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.710Please respect copyright.PENANAUSzFGskRBQ
"Damon," she said.710Please respect copyright.PENANAqNUm4E7p7V
As she collapsed, he caught her from hitting the floor with a hand between her shoulder blades, an arm holding her up. Then he left the house to go home with her in his arms, knowing she would be okay once the vervain was out of her system. Blood would help, but not his. It would give her more vervain, since he mixed a little of vervain with alcohol every day and night. She needed someone else's. Maybe Elena would be willing.
Later, she awoke after Elena had given her some of her blood. Katherine could see that she was on the couch at the boarding house with Elena and Damon by the couch with worried faces.710Please respect copyright.PENANAEKctIEj0nL
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
