Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hzklRldS9
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbGAIanrXi
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqVMW13VnY
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbbYyD62MH
"Yes," she answered.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtv8gosYGz
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPoeEeBIVR
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpp544lQQ5
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejdJUq49bK
Come in, Elena thought back.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW87zkFQEBk
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutkBPBuqmE
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAQqglRBq7
With his free hand, he held a knife.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPEXnFfIfc
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmziHs95F1
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkOHKHDY6V
"Katherine," Kol greeted.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRCWbyxcYK
"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."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBcgCPqXx3
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdeuOXRXRw
"Because I just saved you."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWr7i9hFLl
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5tapU1COn
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC2SBPb8FG
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qFdw04Dui
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo0ixp10Nd
"You're welcome," she said.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi9i3UkUKb
"I'm going out," he replied.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRhn0PKT8n
She watched him leave.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFDiCr6bNr
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1THFM7cW3
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgrilSGKqC
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs3z1krUj5
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl8kCQRAHm
"Thank you," Katherine said.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tS0mr4mt3
"You're welcome."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNuKFlyfWp
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL5KRza2yC
"Thanks," Elena said.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj0Gej2XaB
"You're welcome, Elena."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKePI6fvew
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
