It was a nebulous night at the Salvatore boarding house, as human Katherine set the empty shot glass down on Damon’s drinking table.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUJOL15spP
“You’re miserable,” Damon stated.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx78CxjS1ST
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV2oAXIjcp
“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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRwBeGO5O0
She gripped his arm, but hesitated.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQYwfcLRhc
“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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEBHVD8PcK
She let go and looked at him.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8E9oph7h3
“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.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s96Uwg7ot
“And that would be tragic,” he commented, not caring.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpqeHxYexY
“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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonayucB5Gv
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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbTrunfL0i
“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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHqikv6aaa
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZIDrkOyqb
“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.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudUh9DlzGY
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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UMsU5H54e
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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA0AxpOvXf
“Stay with me, Katherine,” he said. “Please.”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIRIsnORuV
He blurred to the hospital, hoping she’d live.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKy9X6KAVR

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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmZHTUqKW5
Meredith came over.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWT4oLzD6D
“What happened?”639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELhWabFtxm
“She wrecked my car and got herself injured in the process. I’ll explain later, but this is my fault,” he summarized.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sZp0Vf1W8
Meredith knew he wasn’t telling her everything, but didn’t question him. Right now, all that mattered was saving Katherine’s life.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjrgg69Njz
She put a breathing mask on her.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjmJVodtvA
“I’ll let you know how it goes,” she told him.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ATP82HT8T

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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PamFmJkI4
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIlTtLOswh
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fusk6Htgn
A few hours later, Meredith informed him that she’d be okay and he went to her room.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJY7nlf1O9
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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8IqgM7JMz
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J85JhZFVb
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvxEsyE7BS
An hour later, she woke up and they settled things between each other, and he took her home. And so their love story continued.
