Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFSuHZT2EU
It was a dark night, as Kohl chased after Elena and Jeremy in their lake house. He headed up the stairs towards the Gilberts and headed for Jeremy. Elena got in his way and Jeremy fell down the stairs.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOccgBHwH9
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadS81YPDJK
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHjFslf0tx
"Yes," she answered.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwds5sqHrc
He tried to get past her, but she didn't let him. He grabbed her and pinned her against a wall, before he broke a piece of wood off the railing and stabbed her with it.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mktT39q0H
As she slid down the wall, she watched as he knelt beside her only brother. Then she saw Jeremy and Kol start fighting, before they disappeared from her sight. Then she saw Katherine at the door.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0ENYQgAZ4
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0FX9RJVwj
Come in, Elena thought back.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLgBvyCOhb
Katherine walked in and vanished to help Jeremy. She wanted to kill Kol but knew he needed to stay alive until Klaus came. He'd deal with Kol on his own terms.
Kol grabbed him and pinned him against the side of the bar.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFJLh5I2u0
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oJtex7Bmt
With his free hand, he held a knife.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySj7c8K7Sb
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bQg0kHl52
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14kHoHua04
"Katherine," Kol greeted.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdy5kRcSKK
"Kol, it's been a while. Jeremy, are you okay? Kol, I'd like to kill you for hurting the last of my family and Elena's family, but I won't. I'll leave you for Klaus to deal with."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN5VbhUEvo
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAkXsZ1dYu
"Because I just saved you."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAAdPdOeAz
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESADavDkSI
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8vei43yfI
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUfapqBy57
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkVJWejNHG
"You're welcome," she said.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuwLyfSI9n
"I'm going out," he replied.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48JDm3JuKd
She watched him leave.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs08uyzp3A9
As her strength began to ebb away, she knew she didn't have much time left. She let go of the bar and slid down it. She was dying from the hybrid bites. She had come here for help, because she needed the cure.
Elena entered the kitchen after healing, only to see that Katherine was the only one there. She could easily see that she was hurt and losing consciousness. She could smell blood, too.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mpuJP0RHH
Elena knelt in front of her and saw how pale she looked. She saw that she was sweating. That's when she knew that she had been bitten and needed the cure.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ykDAiN230
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cWK9D0ZnR
As Elena slid her hand under her to rest between her shoulder blades, and gently pulled her towards her, Katherine blacked out. She gently pulled the unconscious vampiress into her arms, and slid her free arm under her legs. Then, with vampire strength, Elena picked her up and headed for the door.
Once Katherine was in Damon's bed at the Salvatore boarding house, Elena got the cure from the cooler in the basement. She then made it go down her throat, until it was finished.
When Katherine woke up, she felt better. She saw that Elena was seated on her bedside.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRqiDdFyYE
"Thank you," Katherine said.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYddoyQ16fb
"You're welcome."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CW758dEIv
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCuAs32oDC
"Thanks," Elena said.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2PUWxBFxm
"You're welcome, Elena."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDTlftML3v
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
