It was a beautiful day, as Katherine Pierce walked into her residential home. And that's when she sensed someone else. She was standing by the threshold to the living room, when she turned around.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeU0dWKzA4
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOCyTTwXGP
"James," she said in shock. And then, as a scent wafted over her and she heard Damon yell, "Katherine!", she was barely able to say, "Come in," inviting him inside.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvkqqk3iuv
As Damon through James away from her, she staggered back once before losing her balance. And then, as she lay on her back, she knew the dagger had vervain on it.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQQXA4QHFi
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrSz58a1XY
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVKIaRdOHC
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK1lJg9B5x
"How are you feeling?" he asked.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshgVMztO3T
"Like I just got vervained."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmWCBcZNio
He saw that she didn't look good.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQoKXFPQD0
"Katherine, look at me."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iZ44tSNwY
She tried to do as he said.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK16TYUtjib
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB71JGxyUqw
"Damon," she said.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki0iBJouXt
As she collapsed, he caught her from hitting the floor with a hand between her shoulder blades, an arm holding her up. Then he left the house to go home with her in his arms, knowing she would be okay once the vervain was out of her system. Blood would help, but not his. It would give her more vervain, since he mixed a little of vervain with alcohol every day and night. She needed someone else's. Maybe Elena would be willing.
Later, she awoke after Elena had given her some of her blood. Katherine could see that she was on the couch at the boarding house with Elena and Damon by the couch with worried faces.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr5PU1qmi3
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
