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.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGblQiH9Lu
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwwvgRXYfz
"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.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsyqKQt4iB
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.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqnE6NNkI9
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngeAUDMD5Z
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz6AvdWnwE
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMUrBB21Oh
"How are you feeling?" he asked.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWQr6Aof1i
"Like I just got vervained."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABmLWx2U3j
He saw that she didn't look good.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTxly7sbBv
"Katherine, look at me."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzfSnI8nUp
She tried to do as he said.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8s80m8L69
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuO27BeJGt
"Damon," she said.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjad6RGFJdz
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.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u1gzQoM7B
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
