It was a nebulous night at the Salvatore boarding house, as human Katherine set the empty shot glass down on Damon’s drinking table.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhpTR8jYrB
“You’re miserable,” Damon stated.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTrdiDuhDb
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor.”637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi0jHMBS2c
“You’re a liar. Your hair’s messed up, your nails are chipped. You’re a sad, miserable human being and you want me to turn you. So, here.” He bit his wrist and offered it to her.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvk0JFY57k
She gripped his arm, but hesitated.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf1wHOorNh
“Go ahead, drink up. I’ll kill you, you’ll bit the mailman, you’ll be a vampire again. Go ahead, come on,” he encouraged.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhpEIUYBW9
She let go and looked at him.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC7rYxvRk9
“I can’t, okay? No one’s ever taken the cure before. If I die, there’s a good chance I may never wake up.”637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjoff6eV3a
“And that would be tragic,” he commented, not caring.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDiQf8IlsR
“And deep down, in that mushy-gushy Elena-loving heart, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want me to die,” she said, standing in front of him, a hand on his chest. Then she stepped back. “I have enemies everywhere. What happens when word gets out that I’m a human? I can’t protect myself. I’m weak and I’m slow. Do you have any idea what it’s like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon. Please, just…help me,” she pleaded with him.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEBVkVTIGC
He looked at her in silence, debating on what to do. She was right, because they would always have a connection. He hated that and her, but he couldn’t deny it.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ2CU2V2lD
“Fine. I’ll protect you,” he stated, not sure if it was a promise or not.

She silently watched, as he walked out of the living room. She knew why, too. She’d broken his heart so many times that he hated her. He hated what she’d done when she’d been a vampire. Now that she had humanity, she found herself wanting to apologize and to tell the truth to him, instead of lying to him. She knew that he wouldn’t believe her, though.

It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the car after having tried to run when Damon had tried handing her over to Silas. She tried to stay awake despite her injuries, but knew if she wasn’t found soon, her injuries would kill her.

About forty minutes later, he finally found his wrecked car with Katherine still inside. He could smell blood, even from a distance. He blurred to her side of the car, and saw that she was quite injured. There was a shard of glass in her thigh and side. Her wrist was cut from a few small pieces of glass by her on the seat. There was blood on either side of her head, too.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GDeWpV68L
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEOcWfGjDt
“I’m so sorry, Katherine,” he apologized, though he didn’t know if she could hear him. “Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes if you can hear me.”637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20sIqsmvAM
He waited for a few minutes, but didn’t get anything from her.

He took his hands away and pulled out both shards of glass, and tossed them to the ground. He then gently picked her up in his arms and blurred towards the hospital. As he did, he could tell that she had and was still losing a lot of blood, not to mention the artery in her thigh had been opened by the shard of glass he’d pulled out, and she was very pale.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBRYbNo25V
This is my fault. Just hang on. Don’t die on me, he thought, knowing if he didn’t get her to the hospital soon, she was going to die.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0YGvjn9US
“Stay with me, Katherine,” he said. “Please.”637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkEvAErqe4
He blurred to the hospital, hoping she’d live.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Dd6VTjpt

Half an hour later, he walked into the hospital with her in his arms, which Meredith saw. Damon saw an unused bed in the hallway and gently layed her down on it.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVegeTdJFF
Meredith came over.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg5wBD6Iw9
“What happened?”637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5O17TO7T5
“She wrecked my car and got herself injured in the process. I’ll explain later, but this is my fault,” he summarized.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF256B3jfjZ
Meredith knew he wasn’t telling her everything, but didn’t question him. Right now, all that mattered was saving Katherine’s life.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtssuxrEcdd
She put a breathing mask on her.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0jk5RPFXO
“I’ll let you know how it goes,” she told him.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUFT0YqOXc

Half an hour later, he was in the waiting room, while Katherine was in surgery. He hoped that she’d be okay, but he didn’t know what extent her injuries were. He wasn’t a doctor. All he knew was how to tend to wounds.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjhNAwPHEj
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiJx4FbPER
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU5yqPiQd4
A few hours later, Meredith informed him that she’d be okay and he went to her room.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoPeKB3Wor
He sat on her bedside with a gentle hand on the side of her face, looking down at her, glad that she was alive, and waited for her to wake up.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXC8uzEh3k
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgbZErBNkW
637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls81iVzcqS
An hour later, she woke up and they settled things between each other, and he took her home. And so their love story continued.
