It was a beautiful day, as Klaus and Katherine stood not far from where the sun streamed in through a window. Klaus wanted her to tell him the truth of what had been going on while he had been out of the house.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdTgFcx5mP
"Tell me the truth," he growled at her.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70MCqtA5UG
"I'd rather die."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwst3TOHHl
"Then die," he said, being impatient.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGYV0A6p85
He tied her to a wooden chair in the sun and left the house. And as she sat there tied to the chair in the sun, she screamed in pain, as she burned.
An hour and a half later, Damon Salvatore stood outside Alaric's apartment and knocked. When nobody opened it and he heard a groan from inside, he opened the door and walked inside, closing the door behind himself.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mdiMymFXQ
Upon seeing her, he raced towards and knelt in front of her. As he worked with the ropes to untie her, she was still burning. He head was down, eyes closed. He couldn't hear anything from her, which worried him.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6gN6LUTFJ
Once the ropes were off her, he got to his feet and gently picked her up in his arms. He then layed her gently down in the middle of the floor, out of the sunlight. He raced to the bar where her jacket was and grabbed it, racing back. He then knelt at her side and listened for breathing.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAGruM6P4s
She was breathing, but it was so shallow and faint, he could barely hear it; even with his vampire hearing.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ce5h1DTJx
As he gently lifted her, her head went back. He pulled her into his arms and covered her skin with both her jacket and his. Then he got to his feet with her, walked out, closed the door behind himself, and raced towards the boarding house.
Once home, he closed the front door and raced to his couch. He gently layed her down on his couch and took the jackets off her. He sets hers on the recliner in front of the fireplace, and put his own back on. He positioned her head gently back, bit wrist, and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul3I7ugZ9R
While he was feeding her his blood, Elena opened the door and walked in, closing it behind herself.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZhyhHgkE0
"You found her," she said.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvKvamrZkV
"Yeah. At Ric's. That means he's in Ric's body. He nearly killed her. He must really want her dead," Damon explained.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWVs3UzNQ1
Elena stood not far from the couch.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FsrIaJayW
"Will she be okay?"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRKTAesdEr
"She'll have to wake up for me to know," he informed the doppelganger.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWfx7OB53L
Elena was silent, unsure of what to say.
An hour later, Katherine awoke, coughing and gasping. Damon helped her sit up, seated on the couch by her. He rested gentle hands on either side of her head, careful of her burnt skin. He looked into her face for any signs that she might not make it.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCw9VXlvqi
"Katherine," he greeted, once she had her breath.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshOYpxRU6T
He took his hands away.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CQlud0Z5c
"Damon. Thanks. You saved my life."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2iMOvGxKM
"Yes. And don't make me regret it. What happened?"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS7bZlvPCV
She explained to him what happened.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJvybxIe03
"I probably said the wrong thing to Klaus," she commented.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkODpnLFYOv
"Yeah. You think?" he said sarcastically. He then added, "You nearly died."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKbF1i8wjz
"Yeah, well, I can be stupid sometimes. I'll be more careful next time," she said. She added that last part when she saw his worried look.
