Katherine Pierce

662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0HBd7b7pL
I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCJynYnjIH
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ELvwE4pSj
I toss the empty blood bag onto the floor and look him over, remembering Klaus saying he's unclean. And that's when I see it. The werewolf bite.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAY2EjlhDP
"No," I say. "No. Damon."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvg5xYEaaW
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoDogj1mhj
"Elena, it's me. We have a problem. Did Damon tell you if he was bitten by a werewolf or not? He has a werewolf bite on his arm. And I can't get him up. Can you come over?" I say, before she can say anything.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFOivgTWwo
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYehkpdhYq
She hangs up and I put his phone back.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvON3axHnJY
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7LIC4LG9q
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo0x8zDOIe
I wait.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIxjwWjnpW
Nothing.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cSrw0Gpuz
I take his hand in mine.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8dQMh3TgZ
I can't lose you, Damon. Please wake up, I think to him.
Elena soon arrives and kneels down on the left side of him. The opposite side I'm on.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgltbQTgpJ
"We need to get him home," I inform her.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaXl9H2g45
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqOt3OrpoZ
"I don't know. Klaus must've taken it. And we don't have time to waste. We'll have to manage. Even if I burn alive helping him. It's worth it. I owe him one and he's my family. Family is everything to me."
By the time we get him in bed, I'm burnt terribly. I lean against the wall by his bedroom door, back against the wall, my vision blurry, my focus going in and out, as I watch Elena standing at his bedside with a wet wash cloth.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua4zuuAOwv
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3LniYQmRx
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9ZEWf3FTx
"Katherine," she says.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjGxwN1BRf
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrCfKVrAzz
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIEEolXMl0
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVNu1D275r
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh7i9jP63M
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcDNEzc0V8
"I don't know."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s8lN7wXw1
Alaric Saltzman walks in.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEzbntBTL3
"How's Damon doing?"662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMNQGUdnfa
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe5FVEj9XG
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDta256pFL
I feel myself slide down the wall, as weakness starts to come.

I go to Katherine Pierce and catch her, as she starts to slide down the wall. I see she's weak, burnt badly, and fighting to stay awake. But how much longer can she fight? Even a vampire has to give up someday. And Katherine's been fighting constantly for 500 years. I have to try and help her, though. For Elena's sake.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFvry1Y9vh
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pEvH0NFVX
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fqk3FDNeO
"I'm going home," I tell Elena, before leaving with Katherine.
Not long afterward, I enter my apartment, closing the door behind myself. I then set her on her feet. I came here so Elena wouldn't know what's going to happen. I should probably kill Katherine now. Put her out of her misery with a stake through her heart. But for some reason, I can't find the will to do that to her.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuzj9wmI5e
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J68kHnVoe
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL99fb2HFF
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvuEcpqguY
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZHUtTyaCH
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGPNPyHDrH
I gently lay her down on the floor and take my jacket off. I use my jacket to put under her head and see her skin start turning purple.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiAfP4pfse
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnslX97gi2m
I check to see if she's breathing. Obviously, she's not. So, even though she's a vampire, I give her some breath before pulling her into my arms gently. She's breathing again, which is a good sign. I use a knife to cut my wrist, and I gently position her head back, putting my wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to I'm feeling better. I look down at my arm and my bite mark is gone. That means I've been cured.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwEgjIX3pG
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhJD0T42pr
"Thanks," I say.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXmCC2iQbT
"You should think, Katherine too. She was nearly burnt alive getting you here. Ric's at home helping her. She told me the cure before she nearly blacked out on us," she explains.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQzKqsg8pZ
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsttB0nknZH
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOOWfUb6Ff
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRatLfxHED
I stand by my drinking table and pour myself a shot glass of liquor, slowly sipping it.

I feel the familiar liquid once I awaken, and start drinking. But once I have my strength back, my senses come alert. I can hear someone's heart beating and hear breathing. And the blood is warm…so warm and fresh. And then I smell Alaric's scent. Everything comes flooding back and I realize I'm drinking from Alaric. He gave me his blood to save my life. He probably did it for Elena.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYBiTyNV32
I stop drinking and open my eyes.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTXVHrIu7W
I look up at him and know I nearly died. And that means I took a lot. He's very pale. I nearly killed Elena's guardian.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA824JXbb1f
I get to my feet, as does he.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw7HKhdchQ
"Thanks," I say.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMYrtpJZgF
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht8S0pUYo1
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zTotRVYU2
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGnPoSI2l6
"You need blood, Alaric."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl4COf5EWJ
"No," he argues.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdN9TgplCn
"Alaric, you're going to die."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpekqiR0z2a
"Then I'll die."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rdFHIohUG
I hear his heart and breathing slow.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w1npgVHKm
"I don't want you to."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYELFADjdq5
I look at his hand and his ring is off.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwNA5FtQTl
No, I think to myself.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmXsx7Apnm
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z74xDDoxr
At vamp speed, I'm instantly kneeling at his side. He's still breathing. Barely. This is all my fault. I've been so stupid today.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhWCvbnZik
I bite my wrist and put it to his lips, making my blood go down his throat to heal him. I listen, as it helps him get stronger, and watch as his color comes back to his skin. I know he didn't want this, but I'd rather him be angry at me, than for him to die.

I come to to see myself on myself on my back on my floor. Katherine is knelt at my side.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Tpel9i1Q
I sit up.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjoyRcWabG
"Thank you."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelBzOqc4he
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrHzmSYo4J
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk1cmAveX1
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi8fDxi0Ap
She helps me to my feet.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryHvsgjJlV
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
