Summary: Set in S4E7 "My Brother's Keeper." Jeremy tries to kill Elena and she gets hurt. Will someone save her in time? Katherine gets hurt in the parlor too. Will she live?
It was a beautiful day, as Jeremy Gilbert stood in the parlor, a stake in his left hand.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7g4m31m7h
A moment, Elena Gilbert walked into the parlor to see her brother.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HUSFAIifm
"Where have you been? We've been looking for you," she told him.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPd9W0ESSq
He started to turn the stake around in his hand.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUvVvRc78E
"What are you doing with that?" she asked cautiously.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Jx5PDUY4
"Every bone in my body is telling me to drive this stake through your heart," he answered her. "I don't want to."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME0ntqLqSi
"Then don't."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h5kxgfX1a
"You're a vampire."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvGCKgYFpb
"Yeah, but I'm also your sister," she told him, as she stood in front of him.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeNfoE6S8k
He was silent.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXJfq5Ksfr
"Jer, you know I wouldn't hurt you," she added.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCfS2G0ea3
He showed her his bloody hand and veins started to show under her eyes, as she fought to control her thirst for it.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp5QctJhGF
She took a few steps back.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbvOVgVwAG
"Get that away from me."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zMMs3bPdh
Suddenly, he lunged at her and she through him, making him land on his back on the floor.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RKGm2AZK6
"Oh, my God. Jeremy."
She knelt at his side.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CF5uEaR3k
"Jer, wake up. Jer. Please wake up, Jer," she called.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ8nNGRbpw
Suddenly, before she could react, he attacked her and she felt something go into the side of her neck.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NL8anP74i
Jeremy got to his feet and stood over her.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNoER6UROq
She was on her knees on the floor, as she used one hand to try and locate what was in the side of her neck. Blood ran down the side of her neck, as she tried. Then her vision went blurry, and it was as if she couldn't breathe. She knew what it felt like to get a burn from vervain, but she hadn't been vervained until now.
Katherine Pierce was in the crowd of people that didn't know her, when she smelled a faint scent of fear mixed with blood. So she followed the scent trail.
When she arrived in the parlor, she saw Jeremy with a stake raised to kill his sister. Elena was on her back in very bad condition. She didn't know why Elena was a vampire or why Jeremy was going to kill her, but Elena was her family.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz8AewOYVd
At vamp speed, she grabbed him and through him, making him hit a wall and land on the floor out cold.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRngQvPbDW
Katherine knelt down at her descendant's side and pulled the vervained piece of wood out of the side of her neck, ignoring the pain. She set it on the floor and looked down at her.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiVjZDJ5Aj
"Elena, can you hear me? It's me," she called to her.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU5vKYlakW
Elena heard a familiar female voice, but she couldn't respond to it. She was too tired. She couldn't think.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BbkziWxRv
"Elena, stay with me. Stay awake," Katherine begged.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK33mpxgr8
She pulled a barely conscious Elena gently into her arms and bit her wrist. She then put it to her lips.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevwKEuVfe9
"Elena, drink," she said.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpCOm5t3yr
As darkness started to fog her mind, Elena felt the familiar liquid and started to drink.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPmBwree7z
The elder vampiress sighed in relief, as she watched Elena drink. It relieved her that the last of her Petrova bloodline family would be okay. Even though she hadn't shown it until now, family meant everything to her.
When Elena felt like herself again, she stopped drinking and opened her eyes, only to see Katherine Pierce.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzFX7x3T78
Elena sat up and Katherine let go of her.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILR3xSlKxK
"Katherine?"717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSixPBeWu3K
"It's me," she said.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPEP3wB1Tn
"You saved me."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtENi19OfgZ
"A thank you would be nice," Kat commented.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowkrwqcN93
"What are you doing back?"717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFgA6EIWW5
"Hiding from an old enemy."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1ekaYyouv
"Klaus?" Elena guessed.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplkLw1nWAY
"No. Someone else. Another Original. Apparently, I'm here saving you, too."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W0K5oD6vj
"Thanks," Elena said.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkEfdVbsWV
Kat watched Elena get to her feet and go over to check on her brother, before she got to her own feet. She felt weak now, though, and staggered back against a wall. Her vision was blurry and unfocused. Then everything became distant and gray. She knew she should have fed, but food had been scarce for the past month. Then she felt pain in her head, as her head hit something. Another pain came from something else, but she didn't know what.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVton9tVuc
Elena looked over her shoulder, smelling blood. Then, seeing Katherine on her back on the floor, was instantly at her side.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiRK2jsFsU
Seeing Elena and knowing Elena didn't know what was happening to her, she spoke as darkness started to close in.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCm3pzyFYp
"I haven't eaten for a while. I've been too busy hiding."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgkRGXag4s
Elena realized that the vampiress was in need of food; vampire food. She also knew that she smelled blood. So, she scanned for the source.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrhisi0H1C
"Hang in there," Elena encouraged, as the vampiress started to black out.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrimAw4qUl
Just then she saw a pool of blood start to form around her shoulders. That meant something had wounded her in the back.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmcc5nq26i
Elena gently pulled her into her arms and pulled a knife out of the middle of her back between her shoulder blades. When she did, Katherine gasped softly and groaned. Elena then tossed the knife to the floor and took Kat's jacket off. She bundled it up and set it on the floor, before gently laying her down away from the blood, jacket under head.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQJLZHiMzj
"Katherine, if you can hear me, you'll be okay."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7zZv7TlnB
Elena bit her wrist and put it to an out cold Katherine's lips, making it go down her throat, while listening to her labored breathing. With her free hand, she held Katherine's left hand.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULRKEE4eFx
"Fight it, Katherine. Don't die on me. You saved me. Now it's my turn."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuDAavxSoZ
She looked down at her pale, dying descendant. Veins were showing on her, but they were slowly disappearing from sight. She knew that was a good sign.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKocRTInno
After a few more minutes, she took her wrist away, which instantly healed. She then picked her gently up in her arms, grabbed Kat's jacket, got to her feet, and headed out the back to get Katherine to the boarding house.
Katherine groaned, as she opened her eyes. She was in a room in someone's bed. And as her focus settled, she saw Elena seated on her bedside.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH63o73bYBi
"You worried me," Elena greeted.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x8KnYzlFt
"I guess we both did. Thanks for saving my life. Sorry I scared you."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4G1XaZjdS
"It's okay. Just don't do that again."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf1tUaVI3b
She knew Elena meant for her not to be stupid like that ever again.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nt1mvY6Mb
"Is your brother okay?" she asked her.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudKx3gI4QB
"Jeremy's fine. He apologized to me and everything. He wasn't himself. He's a potential."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldLzad60PD
Kat knew what Elena was saying.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTDUja1v3P
"We have our work cut out for us then," she said to Elena.
"Yeah; we do."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CPjDal0lS
Kat slowly sat up in bed.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXaCaxfNtc
"I'll owe you someday for this."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewvwedCEDU
They looked at one another in silence.
