It was a dark night, as Katherine reached the compound, limping, vision going grey, heavily bleeding from her wounds. And once on the Mikaelson doorstep, she felt something hard beneath her, vision going black.530Please respect copyright.PENANAoYxBbwFU5f

Klaus on his way out when he smell blood; human blood. And once he opened the door, he was shocked to see a very human Katerina on her back on the porch.530Please respect copyright.PENANAyAnSbLAPHR
He knelt down beside her.530Please respect copyright.PENANAW35i9UYOWa
“Katerina?” he called, as he assessed her condition and wounds with his eyes.530Please respect copyright.PENANA6nV0iDEcXs
“Klaus…” she murmured, barely awake.530Please respect copyright.PENANAHPfL0X9llV
He pulled her gently into his arms.530Please respect copyright.PENANA2zVRVAOY8A
“I’m here, luv,” he assured her.530Please respect copyright.PENANAczkdihPTSE
He got to his feet with her in his arms and hybrid-sped inside to his room.530Please respect copyright.PENANAw8LEhkJknv

By the time he had gently layed her down on her back on his bed, she had blacked out.530Please respect copyright.PENANARiH2jUw9zZ
He sat on her bedside and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her after what looked to be a vampire attack, hoping it would work, knowing that she had gotten the cure shoved down her throat.530Please respect copyright.PENANAWkTsGC23og
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and her wounds and his wrist healed.530Please respect copyright.PENANA4NCCGeowXx
He sighed in relief, glad that she would live to see another day. He had never shown it, but he had always secretly loved her and cared about her.530Please respect copyright.PENANA5CpKHsEDol
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face, looking down at her, and waited for her to awaken.530Please respect copyright.PENANAQOEkNMIU0d

When she woke up, it was still dark outside and she was in Klaus’ room, who was seated on her bedside, looking down at her like he cared for her.530Please respect copyright.PENANA6lTL0NU7No
“Tell me who did that to you,” he said, before she could say anything.530Please respect copyright.PENANAmYqDo8yliu
“It was a vampire. That’s all I know. Why didn’t you kill me when you had the chance? I’m not worth anything to you anymore. I’m useless to you; especially, now that I’m a weak, helpless human.”530Please respect copyright.PENANAGo9I0ufuX9
“Is it so hard to believe that I care about what happens to you?” he questioned her.530Please respect copyright.PENANAey2Xi4BnUW
“Yes.”530Please respect copyright.PENANAzHLJ54IxNU
“Apart from what I did 500 years ago, why?”530Please respect copyright.PENANAspnqiRfMqk
“Because like me, you’ll always be that monster,” she replied.530Please respect copyright.PENANAaSJ3ZXItZx
“Is that really what you think of me? A monster? I saved your life tonight. I even refrained from showing up back in Mystic Falls to see you. I kept my distance, despite your change.”530Please respect copyright.PENANA2g6T5aBcgo
“If you want to help me, then do it. All I’ve had this summer is fear, loneliness, and hatred.”530Please respect copyright.PENANA4l1J2pBldu
“Then I’ll help you. Despite what you think, we are alike, you and I.”530Please respect copyright.PENANAzB2uDiHaYS
She gave a smile.530Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6CpgyYNGv
“That we are.”530Please respect copyright.PENANA14175YcdNC
He smiled back.530Please respect copyright.PENANAKlMYWMu5Id
A moment later, they were kissing with him on top.530Please respect copyright.PENANAWzkEIRGxf3
