Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TKsSjPx9i
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4p9zUNhGa
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvLyHsqKZG
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60kTHeldXn
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb77qNjjdk
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBccSmwTYz
"I was bitten by the hybrids he sent after me. I need your help. I need his blood; the cure. Please, Rebekah," she said, almost begging the Original sister.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1G0QyzT9p
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakGyntAdGr
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDXQADAMmS
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs3I63nfQn
"Drink."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD4AdGrn26
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbMmiRQ5PV
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EsOvCFC8n
"Thank you."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf6cDVUKJS
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXutLZENVsz
"You won't. I promise."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10CsaRuFK2
"Good."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxmU5FupTR
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLijAWU9BaK
"A lot; Alaric was turned by mother and alerted the council. They want us all dead I guess. But Alaric is dead now, Stefan is trying to get back to his old habits, and I killed Elena and almost Matt. I wanted Alaric dead and Elena was tied to him. I thought Alaric killed my brother. Now Elena's a vampire. Apparently, she had Damon's blood in her system. And I didn't know that."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwq5hSdfSR
"Wow. I missed a lot," is all she could say to that. Since Rebekah hadn't known, she couldn't be mad at her for Elena turning into a vampire.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMENBOhtUP
Suddenly, arrows started flying.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TjdyAO4L1
"Get the blood and vervain! Just in case! Then we have to go!" Katherine yelled and grabbed the blood, putt it in a bag. Rebekah obeyed and did the same with the vervain, putting it in the same bag.
They made it outside the Mystic Grille, before everything started to unfocus for Katherine, and Rebekah grew pale and weak. Rebekah had taken an arrow in the middle of her chest, while Katherine had taken an arrow in the leg.
Rebekah slid down the wall to sit down, while Katherine set the bag down and knelt beside her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp427gWzB64
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjcijZpw6A
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApUDVeAHRI
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoClIG0bL1m
"It's us," Kat answered him.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSFR1Ye0Hg
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1JN5cPE99
"She saved my life. Then we had to leave. We got shot with arrows; me in the leg and Rebekah in the chest. But we're both still alive. We're right outside the Mystic Grille. We need help, Damon. Something was on them. You should try and keep her awake, while I go see if anyone's in there."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGPO2lTtFd
"Will do," he replied to his sire.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsbFjo3mnl
She got to her feet and used the wall to hold herself up, as she staggered towards the door and opened it enough so they only saw one hand, her upper body, and unhurt leg. Then she leaned on the door and scanned the crowd within, stopping when she saw Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE9wOTHS6S
Caroline saw Katherine.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dWIhS5oc2
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUPPmCOOMv
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzqgsYX1Jz
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqNMjWxllV
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIt6RD8DB0
"Let's go," Tyler said.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStjrEoL3A4
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRdsVK7aZz
They stopped by Rebekah.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEOQEDDZP3
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGcIyzgQ33
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cXCFqy4Ne
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynhjLrQkmG
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFDJtbCwr4
"Katherine, hang in there. Damon's coming," Tyler instructed the Petrova vampiress, unsure of what to do or what else to say.
Damon hung up soon after.
Not long afterward, Damon arrived. He instantly went to stand in front of Katherine.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznw1YLhmuX
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJumcq7xvz
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajTpwRGR6w
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCwrWyl32U
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qM3T0FOAV
He caught her, as she lost her balance, unable to stand. And as he picked her up, he realized how weak she was. He felt her rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his neck.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM2y56PVmk
"Stay awake, Kat," he instructed, as he sped towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Once inside, Damon gently sat her in Elena's recliner, while Tyler carried Rebekah upstairs to the guest room, which was formerly Ric's room, and before that, Elena's Aunt Jenna's room. Tyler and Caroline stayed with Rebekah, while Damon stayed in the living room with his sire. Elena stood by and watched.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyEWppL5hE
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSOjbLgCfl
"Kat, stay with me."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYYVSM5pZ8
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCGVYAlks8
"The Council shot them with arrows. Something's on them. We need Meredith over here. She might know what's on them and how to cure them. And you need to call Klaus. He'll want to know about his sister."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhTwWiK6Jt
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1cezcuCj9
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFotRH0fYpv
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVT1fuLUPZ
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbtmhBxyac
"Let me try then," Klaus said. "Katerina, you have to stay awake. Think of your family. If you die now, you would've been fighting for nothing. You would've survived this long for nothing. You've been fighting for 500 years, Katerina. Don't give up now. You can't. We won't let you die," he told his former doppelganger, meaning it all. He had trust and faith in her now. And he cared about her. He then added to Elena, "I'm coming over to help. You'll have to invite me in. After this is all over though, you can uninvited me." He then hung up.
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn6PtnxhvW
Half an hour later, he arrived and Elena invited him in. He walked into the living room and Damon stepped away, watching as he knelt in front of her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5C2GRSU7b
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU7b7JGsWh
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwDOxe1bKc
"Klaus," she said back.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNRHPrVxqN
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Tfoq0fo9
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ57PKFN0Y
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3zQd7CMSa
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisujHxTrcD
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF81IInRBR3
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ae4e3yc5N
So they did and both got better.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO6urb2CaE
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d0ovzdSk0
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACjepIHgb6
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAohfhkNun
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZnZ4PReNu
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I know how it feels. It's different for everyone, but I want to help you. You're my family, Elena. I may not show it, but I care. I really do care."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4L894vNFo
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJV2AAMOwX
"I'm sorry, Elena. I would've been here if I didn't have hybrids on my tail. But I'm here to stay now. I'll help you in any way I can."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50FHRWgzJV
"You want the truth, Katherine? I'm tired. All I try to do is fight and do the right thing. But Damon said I have to drink from the vein. I don't want to and it's killing me, trying to not drink from the vein. He told me I can't drink animal blood and I can't. He said I could only drink from the vein and that's all I can do. I can't even keep Damon's blood down. What am I going to do?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hPsRyVnsY
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4EKVDRI8p
"Yeah. Why?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19fGD6FJUI
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOCnD4FSmR
"It can't be," Kat whispered.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ3OsIn7rB
"What?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMBResJAl2
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7VdInuBPc
"But what?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWMYjTxgTm
"You're sired to Damon."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8hUMBV5CB
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NnWaQMhwd
"I don't know, but it happens once in a while. It can be broken. We just have to convince him to free you from the sire bond."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqagj6vo2G7
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
