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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMamkcJSRb

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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J0plGwtaa
He knelt down beside her.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWElqUoBBwR
“Katerina?” he called, as he assessed her condition and wounds with his eyes.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzZCOwvEHp
“Klaus…” she murmured, barely awake.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe24lKHmHX
He pulled her gently into his arms.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeRCwldA8D
“I’m here, luv,” he assured her.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpqNykt1jr
He got to his feet with her in his arms and hybrid-sped inside to his room.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc9hsc0ZWU

By the time he had gently layed her down on her back on his bed, she had blacked out.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG6fcdRYNL
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60IszdCtAQ
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and her wounds and his wrist healed.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXUz8Lzb8X
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIQopKU9kW
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face, looking down at her, and waited for her to awaken.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfmPUhBMRB

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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5eDlrgfUM
“Tell me who did that to you,” he said, before she could say anything.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkOQuqBPFn
“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.”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lvnGG7svT
“Is it so hard to believe that I care about what happens to you?” he questioned her.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMSU4qTY1J
“Yes.”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaaTHihDxW
“Apart from what I did 500 years ago, why?”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0No44v2BzS
“Because like me, you’ll always be that monster,” she replied.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4soVXrmFk
“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.”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwTwGDlBxR
“If you want to help me, then do it. All I’ve had this summer is fear, loneliness, and hatred.”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlMu4E8g19
“Then I’ll help you. Despite what you think, we are alike, you and I.”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAux9dTS14
She gave a smile.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATjFYR1Or2
“That we are.”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePRlmoZiDN
He smiled back.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToxLbzk6UQ
A moment later, they were kissing with him on top.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuq2mL3mfU
