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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXhqLO2ASe

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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jpcg9iY6v
He knelt down beside her.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxrJ0CO7Lc
“Katerina?” he called, as he assessed her condition and wounds with his eyes.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4YL7vD9oT
“Klaus…” she murmured, barely awake.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbM6ERl4yG
He pulled her gently into his arms.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVzunRRQSK
“I’m here, luv,” he assured her.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xms4e83Ax
He got to his feet with her in his arms and hybrid-sped inside to his room.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPorvN1Hcl

By the time he had gently layed her down on her back on his bed, she had blacked out.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwyz0m6BX9
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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjnvJJoSTB
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and her wounds and his wrist healed.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGjGMRhPba
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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSaKTVRSpl
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face, looking down at her, and waited for her to awaken.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNXSEdCqn8

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.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0QudFvVc1
“Tell me who did that to you,” he said, before she could say anything.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TXwF7I4cE
“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.”577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZtICfC9wA
“Is it so hard to believe that I care about what happens to you?” he questioned her.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe8EZxeH47
“Yes.”577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtf4DeLPXm
“Apart from what I did 500 years ago, why?”577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qZCxg1kfS
“Because like me, you’ll always be that monster,” she replied.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUSp6SsbTd
“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.”577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhWxgyvMPd
“If you want to help me, then do it. All I’ve had this summer is fear, loneliness, and hatred.”577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7BFJvsLX
“Then I’ll help you. Despite what you think, we are alike, you and I.”577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFj17caGI0
She gave a smile.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxmAVVEpz8
“That we are.”577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK6UYeulU6
He smiled back.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eyLbqbmga
A moment later, they were kissing with him on top.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrhkR1iRlt
