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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhYWXd4yYI

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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRiFygoCs0
He knelt down beside her.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E0dKFDzQC
“Katerina?” he called, as he assessed her condition and wounds with his eyes.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJaxMgS3AO
“Klaus…” she murmured, barely awake.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiML07UeoWE
He pulled her gently into his arms.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7tjyRD6LG
“I’m here, luv,” he assured her.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZUoPAweI5
He got to his feet with her in his arms and hybrid-sped inside to his room.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBDJudOb8F

By the time he had gently layed her down on her back on his bed, she had blacked out.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTilsPATjW
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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaCVAlnfgg
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and her wounds and his wrist healed.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG69YgiUk09
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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmADYl0VTIF
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face, looking down at her, and waited for her to awaken.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqfdTQxAwd

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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Q2WECEj7
“Tell me who did that to you,” he said, before she could say anything.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzeKP91k6F
“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.”586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VlOcFdfhW
“Is it so hard to believe that I care about what happens to you?” he questioned her.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XQbiXVzRm
“Yes.”586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3fiNtWCiG
“Apart from what I did 500 years ago, why?”586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYSMHYhBAP
“Because like me, you’ll always be that monster,” she replied.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cvz5UOqjn
“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.”586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF823KFWWdV
“If you want to help me, then do it. All I’ve had this summer is fear, loneliness, and hatred.”586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHONlXfcZp
“Then I’ll help you. Despite what you think, we are alike, you and I.”586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOsp4YZnQh
She gave a smile.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8WshaE1yQ
“That we are.”586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKRkfxwzVn
He smiled back.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxl8Dr6UHt
A moment later, they were kissing with him on top.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn47JoQ7GiO
