Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Pzop6z7E
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ274xNPl9Iw
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxxlePznG3
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhBibQ5yzr
"Yes," she answered.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXJiXbaymk
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus29usZoWG
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdUjDVpbsF
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLx13GYkhu
Come in, Elena thought back.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGADz6V1S9B
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfXlCSEXLJ
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2qkoov6Ur
With his free hand, he held a knife.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwfEWz7ozq
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcdBc4LciH
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT1n25mgQT
"Katherine," Kol greeted.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YHukIvhfp
"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."633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNKHNBUkaw
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eRrl2cq3l
"Because I just saved you."633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj7gCmQnXE
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnJ2DHmtRI
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQEaZBFB4W
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZpbEvVFih
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kPK4cvuIU
"You're welcome," she said.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqlMYTxjtZ
"I'm going out," he replied.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryKFS7wVET
She watched him leave.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh8ujpbX0E
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXXuxKIpAU
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Ka8X2yZG
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZne3ayzrp
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F5FbfQlpC
"Thank you," Katherine said.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVxu2okJ0E
"You're welcome."633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSm6B9Vmxn
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib8x0atb7L
"Thanks," Elena said.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNEwRXrFWd
"You're welcome, Elena."633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUzIZ5GIAk
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
