Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHlwmPI391
It was a dark night, as Kohl chased after Elena and Jeremy in their lake house. He headed up the stairs towards the Gilberts and headed for Jeremy. Elena got in his way and Jeremy fell down the stairs.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDidR4PEMt
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdSWgekrDm
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk3WVcrGQn
"Yes," she answered.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGn3XyOb1P
He tried to get past her, but she didn't let him. He grabbed her and pinned her against a wall, before he broke a piece of wood off the railing and stabbed her with it.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYwPgdbfUr
As she slid down the wall, she watched as he knelt beside her only brother. Then she saw Jeremy and Kol start fighting, before they disappeared from her sight. Then she saw Katherine at the door.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WOa4ofGl4
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiMiuTUAJQ
Come in, Elena thought back.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyFGTtdFrc
Katherine walked in and vanished to help Jeremy. She wanted to kill Kol but knew he needed to stay alive until Klaus came. He'd deal with Kol on his own terms.
Kol grabbed him and pinned him against the side of the bar.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhDctCrc40
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXPcPRy29S
With his free hand, he held a knife.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oMTbegmne
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFMEQun3Yj
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVHq3o5hu1
"Katherine," Kol greeted.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbVUllA3q6
"Kol, it's been a while. Jeremy, are you okay? Kol, I'd like to kill you for hurting the last of my family and Elena's family, but I won't. I'll leave you for Klaus to deal with."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nlv2i6Ss2
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHShTRK5ho2
"Because I just saved you."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8aLS02QsV
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnyL6XeR8V
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUQEwDxL7M
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0QxbDuFSS
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvbOlfvJDI
"You're welcome," she said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRLiOjyMet
"I'm going out," he replied.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2IicDGM3s
She watched him leave.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52i3utimBB
As her strength began to ebb away, she knew she didn't have much time left. She let go of the bar and slid down it. She was dying from the hybrid bites. She had come here for help, because she needed the cure.
Elena entered the kitchen after healing, only to see that Katherine was the only one there. She could easily see that she was hurt and losing consciousness. She could smell blood, too.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtitmXFZKM
Elena knelt in front of her and saw how pale she looked. She saw that she was sweating. That's when she knew that she had been bitten and needed the cure.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VWojiIHbw
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6FFK0mQXJ
As Elena slid her hand under her to rest between her shoulder blades, and gently pulled her towards her, Katherine blacked out. She gently pulled the unconscious vampiress into her arms, and slid her free arm under her legs. Then, with vampire strength, Elena picked her up and headed for the door.
Once Katherine was in Damon's bed at the Salvatore boarding house, Elena got the cure from the cooler in the basement. She then made it go down her throat, until it was finished.
When Katherine woke up, she felt better. She saw that Elena was seated on her bedside.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5rT09QeX
"Thank you," Katherine said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADAKvuTDIs
"You're welcome."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyNr7siCDl
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2hMYMOxK2
"Thanks," Elena said.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmdekANFIr
"You're welcome, Elena."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvor9anJZXJ
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
