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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JPWNI9gnW
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK4woHHOEy
"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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX6SkLU7WE
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcN1UiNPsh
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs4wLFxma4
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj5TyR2sQR
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AR9QeVX5K
"How are you feeling?" he asked.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNSFxhp56w
"Like I just got vervained."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeBZauNIp9
He saw that she didn't look good.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlONAkHLKl
"Katherine, look at me."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5RzO0KIGM
She tried to do as he said.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ZxWal37h
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELnexxzm7B
"Damon," she said.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrsQOEYbQD
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Wco3XJFT
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
