Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZovLPInk0
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1IHE0Mkoh
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QSgkb8WEq
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlRuTgh8LK
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWdjAWEtxb
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lEo9H9nVa
"I was bitten by the hybrids he sent after me. I need your help. I need his blood; the cure. Please, Rebekah," she said, almost begging the Original sister.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT6HPeW4Dw
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ieIWcBwP
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQktdN3732g
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGzXtyLliE
"Drink."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYo7FAKmEY
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb28ShCAl3
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UTiqzI4w2
"Thank you."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqypvNMAxw
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gAl9oCtD7
"You won't. I promise."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2faM8GjLL5
"Good."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7PDw2T1do
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM3KwR0pag
"A lot; Alaric was turned by mother and alerted the council. They want us all dead I guess. But Alaric is dead now, Stefan is trying to get back to his old habits, and I killed Elena and almost Matt. I wanted Alaric dead and Elena was tied to him. I thought Alaric killed my brother. Now Elena's a vampire. Apparently, she had Damon's blood in her system. And I didn't know that."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmELaVuUcs4
"Wow. I missed a lot," is all she could say to that. Since Rebekah hadn't known, she couldn't be mad at her for Elena turning into a vampire.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gGHQw47QG
Suddenly, arrows started flying.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOgDrMCK1T
"Get the blood and vervain! Just in case! Then we have to go!" Katherine yelled and grabbed the blood, putt it in a bag. Rebekah obeyed and did the same with the vervain, putting it in the same bag.
They made it outside the Mystic Grille, before everything started to unfocus for Katherine, and Rebekah grew pale and weak. Rebekah had taken an arrow in the middle of her chest, while Katherine had taken an arrow in the leg.
Rebekah slid down the wall to sit down, while Katherine set the bag down and knelt beside her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDoBlm4eSS
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgpfRB978x
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iPqFw3URI
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIBcn9hIAD
"It's us," Kat answered him.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2DiU1I85b
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjlnoEWDqn
"She saved my life. Then we had to leave. We got shot with arrows; me in the leg and Rebekah in the chest. But we're both still alive. We're right outside the Mystic Grille. We need help, Damon. Something was on them. You should try and keep her awake, while I go see if anyone's in there."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP4kxW0Dlz
"Will do," he replied to his sire.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXSxCYpQMP
She got to her feet and used the wall to hold herself up, as she staggered towards the door and opened it enough so they only saw one hand, her upper body, and unhurt leg. Then she leaned on the door and scanned the crowd within, stopping when she saw Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscY9tbiPmR
Caroline saw Katherine.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgUg78TtEI
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDeI3RZSEy
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfC2AJ4vG3
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkKmqbOcub
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ02bMPHAjZ
"Let's go," Tyler said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fJT1gE068
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQLF8nJpvm
They stopped by Rebekah.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPnZyjNLnG
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mXEfVb80S
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QBVKpnk2A
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSpdqEXuvo
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqDUjK3oNk
"Katherine, hang in there. Damon's coming," Tyler instructed the Petrova vampiress, unsure of what to do or what else to say.
Damon hung up soon after.
Not long afterward, Damon arrived. He instantly went to stand in front of Katherine.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXkbBKIXTN
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp2iVoUWEE
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdly58VUPeM
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ahbeQbmJ5
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR8sQHiC41
He caught her, as she lost her balance, unable to stand. And as he picked her up, he realized how weak she was. He felt her rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his neck.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hW4shtnMa
"Stay awake, Kat," he instructed, as he sped towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Once inside, Damon gently sat her in Elena's recliner, while Tyler carried Rebekah upstairs to the guest room, which was formerly Ric's room, and before that, Elena's Aunt Jenna's room. Tyler and Caroline stayed with Rebekah, while Damon stayed in the living room with his sire. Elena stood by and watched.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKz1ev70cb
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIKZf1EWAr
"Kat, stay with me."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ngb8o7dFo
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgLQOz2aKw
"The Council shot them with arrows. Something's on them. We need Meredith over here. She might know what's on them and how to cure them. And you need to call Klaus. He'll want to know about his sister."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAv5h0FNgt
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgY7R3cVjP
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EI8gDmSU7
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay7NpL3lcI
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfH9dVTXH2
"Let me try then," Klaus said. "Katerina, you have to stay awake. Think of your family. If you die now, you would've been fighting for nothing. You would've survived this long for nothing. You've been fighting for 500 years, Katerina. Don't give up now. You can't. We won't let you die," he told his former doppelganger, meaning it all. He had trust and faith in her now. And he cared about her. He then added to Elena, "I'm coming over to help. You'll have to invite me in. After this is all over though, you can uninvited me." He then hung up.
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKajPzmmmQ
Half an hour later, he arrived and Elena invited him in. He walked into the living room and Damon stepped away, watching as he knelt in front of her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dc3Olaes1
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr68pVPPqJ
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAkhGKPpp3
"Klaus," she said back.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRr71cmbGg
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGS9Dcx6GY
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3akLT581M
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj5ZEBlzl8
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsum3zMMJo
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj6zR40CBn
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp0rEPfRkt
So they did and both got better.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIOlzFVV4H
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtAuKF1PNb
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEacFzn6pGS
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBJGIGNsP0
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrcDPjdqOG
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I know how it feels. It's different for everyone, but I want to help you. You're my family, Elena. I may not show it, but I care. I really do care."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzfYFuGyhV
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP7rawlK4l
"I'm sorry, Elena. I would've been here if I didn't have hybrids on my tail. But I'm here to stay now. I'll help you in any way I can."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZDPWn8pxI
"You want the truth, Katherine? I'm tired. All I try to do is fight and do the right thing. But Damon said I have to drink from the vein. I don't want to and it's killing me, trying to not drink from the vein. He told me I can't drink animal blood and I can't. He said I could only drink from the vein and that's all I can do. I can't even keep Damon's blood down. What am I going to do?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlPYmuueXx
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VqdPtmLgK
"Yeah. Why?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV1yt6VkqP
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBSBd1ogXI
"It can't be," Kat whispered.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIkxFTk1ib
"What?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmzPCcP88f
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXbeEJJcT3
"But what?"679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeQtHZkhFQ
"You're sired to Damon."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3vhdJsoTP
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64e2ryje33
"I don't know, but it happens once in a while. It can be broken. We just have to convince him to free you from the sire bond."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KAN0xpPCI
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
