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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qGxYGGAR0

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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQojJB02MQ
He knelt down beside her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyQ96Gy2HR
“Katerina?” he called, as he assessed her condition and wounds with his eyes.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarzqEzFMZp
“Klaus…” she murmured, barely awake.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe8YujAtdl
He pulled her gently into his arms.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cX84T95yV
“I’m here, luv,” he assured her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd4pPi9v0r
He got to his feet with her in his arms and hybrid-sped inside to his room.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1QMl3ikDt

By the time he had gently layed her down on her back on his bed, she had blacked out.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMZHi5WSgv
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQsUwyXeBE
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and her wounds and his wrist healed.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ4Nwyt03Z
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLWUbIkExE
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face, looking down at her, and waited for her to awaken.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDh0sMLd9n

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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJzg7EH5wU
“Tell me who did that to you,” he said, before she could say anything.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfYxooYCuL
“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.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSBWksJ7Wv
“Is it so hard to believe that I care about what happens to you?” he questioned her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN3H4IOcP3
“Yes.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKVoJeJN7t
“Apart from what I did 500 years ago, why?”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwH0aeZOsP
“Because like me, you’ll always be that monster,” she replied.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg2MnTbOlr
“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.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4a4guMwlw
“If you want to help me, then do it. All I’ve had this summer is fear, loneliness, and hatred.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80qsKgCxGv
“Then I’ll help you. Despite what you think, we are alike, you and I.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMl3yAI7ij
She gave a smile.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEShBKnxix
“That we are.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJhQqHY2iq
He smiled back.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa1OVBahMs
A moment later, they were kissing with him on top.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXykG9OGBm8
