It was a nebulous night at the Salvatore boarding house, as human Katherine set the empty shot glass down on Damon’s drinking table.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXplBcM0Zt
“You’re miserable,” Damon stated.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KCrii6cHB
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstrhhMCY32
“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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiiKhx1UhZ
She gripped his arm, but hesitated.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeijaGEw0ei
“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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN7IxENLOZ
She let go and looked at him.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5WDnrXDJZ
“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.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw99P6QGQz7
“And that would be tragic,” he commented, not caring.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDHqNDEjZh
“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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb63RdLDI1O
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EmiKiR4wq
“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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtndBOLdapa
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZTAUbXKq4
“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.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE0H3hcvfr
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BtRhBdXqu
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt8UpRFa2W
“Stay with me, Katherine,” he said. “Please.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl5b0Qw9HQ
He blurred to the hospital, hoping she’d live.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYS13nR4wJ

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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPxwKPa63k
Meredith came over.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsspJpMjSW
“What happened?”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOtudDUIgM
“She wrecked my car and got herself injured in the process. I’ll explain later, but this is my fault,” he summarized.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv08oVc5fDi
Meredith knew he wasn’t telling her everything, but didn’t question him. Right now, all that mattered was saving Katherine’s life.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyrWgnlt4s
She put a breathing mask on her.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAjazGBOS7
“I’ll let you know how it goes,” she told him.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc1Vz9XoDU

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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKwv3Jlkmk
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEm8O4MWTt
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgouLPQ3gk
A few hours later, Meredith informed him that she’d be okay and he went to her room.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxogwqy3wq
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kt14cAeXZ
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNrxy14KKq

An hour later, she woke up and they settled things between each other, and he took her home. And so their love story continued.
