Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTOXac14hD
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYNw06PXWE
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSreOjo1Ebc
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rF8dc8m4V
"Yes," she answered.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ceASsFsuL
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfAq9yQLwK
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzgoWCdK8T
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVExzpJ2JJ
Come in, Elena thought back.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi995kSEhAb
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xzqrnbgvo
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHHP9WAVRm
With his free hand, he held a knife.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcP2Yxep7t
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6wHnqrtdb
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJezZLoeD2J
"Katherine," Kol greeted.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYri4GmOdG
"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."702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE7aEfHL23
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxd38ObkzU
"Because I just saved you."702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxbudNlJou
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQywHh0AgcB
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bjhRXCgvE
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUVKSqxqqK
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRehQdmBSg6
"You're welcome," she said.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUONizfnCqY
"I'm going out," he replied.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrNe2rO2FF
She watched him leave.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WdfORmvYo
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfIDqvk0wt
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u2d79aKqR
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hx7xGlOMa
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iECkMg1WV
"Thank you," Katherine said.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqemoZvRNwv
"You're welcome."702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwrgRRn1Bm
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYcWdwdKFW
"Thanks," Elena said.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzQlG3PznI
"You're welcome, Elena."702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQROpz3mTfm
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
