It was a beautiful day, as Damon knocked on Ric’s apartment door and waited for someone to open the door. Klaus was keeping her hostage, so he thought he’d come by and give her a vial of vervain to use so he couldn’t compel her. He hated Katherine, but no one deserved torture, captivity, or being ripped of their free will. If she was alive, he’d help her the best of his ability.600Please respect copyright.PENANAqAWTsTIMqS
Ten minutes later, when no one opened the door, he figured he should see what was going on, so he did just that. He walked inside, closing the door behind himself. That’s when he saw her on her back on the floor, skin burning in the sun, and a bite on the left side of her neck. Because of the burning, he assumed that Klaus had taken her Daylight bracelet.600Please respect copyright.PENANAH2PEhOVnWl
He went over and closed the curtains to stop the burning. She was a vampire just like himself. If a vampire burned long enough, they’d die. He didn’t know how long that she’d been burning. If he hadn’t come today, she probably would’ve died before the sun went down.600Please respect copyright.PENANAAOuXpqrA4D
He knelt at her side and scanned her with his eyes. He’d gotten to her just in time, since she had started showing veins from burning in the sun. The veins were starting to disappear and her skin was starting to heal, but not as quickly as vampires usually do. He knew it was from the vicious bite.600Please respect copyright.PENANAcosTtWUK5s
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head, avoiding touching the werewolf bite.600Please respect copyright.PENANAfFpmvlJb5r
“Katherine, can you hear me? I need you to wake up. If you can hear me, open your eyes.”600Please respect copyright.PENANAR4dohSHJMs
When she didn’t reply or move a muscle, he patted her right cheek gently, his right hand resting on her forehead to keep her head still. In this state, she was fragile. He hated to call her that, but she was burning up. That, and she looked very weak and pale, not to mention, he was having a hard time waking her up. If and when she woke up, she wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. She’d be too weak to stand, much less walk. Even if she did wake up before he left with her, he’d still have to carry her.600Please respect copyright.PENANAhQgA9MXRyp
“Come on, Katherine; wake up. You need to tell me where the cure is,” he said, still patting her cheek.600Please respect copyright.PENANA01s84rTaxY
He stopped trying to wake her, when she began awakening.600Please respect copyright.PENANAvOmqYR246O
When she opened her eyes, he gave a smile.600Please respect copyright.PENANAfzHo5ecTGw
“Hey. Welcome back to the waking world.”600Please respect copyright.PENANAJIdywiC46Z
“Damon?” she inquired weakly.600Please respect copyright.PENANAhruJi6a3s7
“Don’t worry. I’m not here to kill you. I’m not an hallucination either. I’m getting you out of here, but you need to tell me where he’s go the cure. Surely, he didn’t leave you to die without leaving the cure behind.”600Please respect copyright.PENANAJTk4cAVHT2
“In a kitchen cupboard,” she weakly replied.600Please respect copyright.PENANAVz2iWtTNfD
He took his hand from her forehead and went to the kitchen to look in the cupboards.600Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZMzJ84zYS
She blurrily watched him go and turned her head to the left to watch him look for the cure; Klaus’ blood. As she did, everything began to seem too far away. She was also in a lot of pain from the bite and felt tired.600Please respect copyright.PENANAS5baQIwNcE
Once he’d found the vial of Klaus’ blood as well as her Daylight bracelet, he put the vial inside his jacket and blurred back over to her.600Please respect copyright.PENANAbJaFdKNtHC
Once knelt at her side, he could tell that she was about to go under again. He removed her jacket and slipped her Daylight bracelet on her wrist, before putting her arm around his shoulders and pulling her gently into his arms. Then he got to his feet and looked down at her.600Please respect copyright.PENANAimCLfmTA4o
“You’re gonna be okay, Katherine. You hear me? I’m gonna cure you, but not here.”600Please respect copyright.PENANAgmsk5l1vhb
He blurred towards his car outside and gently sat her in the passenger’s seat, before taking the vial out. By this time, she’d gone under.600Please respect copyright.PENANA0lX46ETcHp
He slid an arm under her head, gently positioning her head back. Then he put the vial to her lips, making the cure go down her throat. Then, after he figured she’d had enough, he layed her head on the seat again and closed the door. Then he drank the rest, having been bitten by Tyler, and got in the driver’s seat. Then he drove away, towards the boarding house.600Please respect copyright.PENANAnfxUPqK4c4
Later, she was cured and lived to see yet another day.

You’re here tonight

600Please respect copyright.PENANAVuIHG4srGL
It was a dismal night at Mystic High, as everyone tried to kill Klaus. Katherine opened up a couple grenades saying, “Kaboom,” before throwing it at the hybrids that were coming to help Klaus. Killing Klaus didn’t happen in the end though, because Stefan stopped Damon to save him. If Klaus died, Damon would’ve been hunted down and killed by Klaus’ hybrids.600Please respect copyright.PENANAX9p66iEQLW
Later that night, when Katherine was heading down a hall towards the side exit where she’d parked her car, she was pinned against a set of lockers by Rebekah. Apparently, someone had undaggered her and she had heard about the plan to kill Klaus. She knew that that meant that she was on vengeance strike. She definitely knew that when Rebekah plunged a hand through her chest.600Please respect copyright.PENANAb0zrDZ7PEB
“I should rip your heart out right now,” Rebekah said.600Please respect copyright.PENANA6wlwDliG8B
“In that case, how about you kill everyone involved,” she replied.600Please respect copyright.PENANAxVNNTo8Acw
“Maybe I will,” the Original sister said.600Please respect copyright.PENANAD5WYEmIzVP
“I don’t doubt that you’re capable of killing all of us, but would you take away Elijah’s love? Could you live with yourself? You have too good of a heart. I don’t think you can kill me,” Katherine stated truthfully to her. She had no reason to lie. She didn’t know much about Rebekah.600Please respect copyright.PENANANJvRo9FH76
She felt another squeeze of her heart and everything went blurry.600Please respect copyright.PENANA1EOJ5wuPYC
“You underestimate me,” she growled at Katherine.600Please respect copyright.PENANAnkO7TLBBKt
“Then go ahead and kill me. It’ll make you feel so much better,” she urged her.600Please respect copyright.PENANAUN5OUu1xtD
She felt her hand leave her chest and then felt pain of something being stabbed close to her heart.600Please respect copyright.PENANAutFSOIW4vD
“Maybe I’ll take you up on your offer,” she heart the ancient vampiress say. Then she felt the thing, maybe a stick, start to pierce her heart. Then she felt her ass on the floor and even more pain. Then it was as if she couldn’t breathe and she closed her eyes.600Please respect copyright.PENANAXH78iu5hci
Damon, seeing the scene, snapped her neck and knelt in front of Katherine, before quickly pulling out the stick and tossing it to the floor. He then bit his wrist and put it to her lips to heal her quicker, which worked.600Please respect copyright.PENANAXRmXahrxZf
After she’d healed, he gently pulled her into his arms and blurred off wit her.

It was a dismal night, as Damon searched for Katherine through each Mystic High hall, having heard from Elena that she had shoved the cure down her throat when Katherine had almost killed her. It had been a few hours ago, but he hoped she’d still be here somewhere. He knew her as well as he knew himself. As a vampire, she had everything going for her. As a human, she’d be alone and scared, not to mention hurt and maybe a little paranoid.600Please respect copyright.PENANAfhV74HCfDU
When he’d found the hall they’d fought in, she was gone, so he went back to his car to try and find her elsewhere. He’d search every road of Mystic Falls if he had to. For some reason, her being human made him care about her well-being. He hadn’t cared about her since 1864.600Please respect copyright.PENANA1misTfAcGX
600Please respect copyright.PENANABpgY7BaBUV
600Please respect copyright.PENANAxHIaDbugb1
Twenty minutes later, he found her limping down one of the desolate roads. Knowing her, he figured asking her to get in would prove to be unsuccessful, so he pulled over and got out.600Please respect copyright.PENANAQvmo0lcqD3
“Katherine.” He put a hand on her arm, stopping her.600Please respect copyright.PENANAZdNRsnP5AJ
She turned around to face him and he let go.600Please respect copyright.PENANAPYzheiLljA
“Come to celebrate in my misery? Come to finish what Elena started? Go ahead. Put me out of my misery,” she said with anger, angry at herself that she’d been defeated by her baby vampire doppelganger, and taking it out on him.600Please respect copyright.PENANAWgclehaTQe
“I’m not here for either reason. I’m going to help you. You need help. You’re human, injured, and not as powerful as you were. Let me help you.”600Please respect copyright.PENANAXV5IAyLJiV
“Fine,” she said, before limping towards the car.600Please respect copyright.PENANAeVOpx3Gc4l
Just as he began following behind her, he saw her begin to collapse.600Please respect copyright.PENANAlM1TjIdn1i
He blurred right behind her and put an arm around her. Then he knelt down with her against him. That when he saw a shard of glass in her thigh and a bigger shard of glass in her stomach.600Please respect copyright.PENANAh9UVCEUaGS
Once he’d gotten her in the car, he pulled both out, tossing them to the ground, and used a towel from the backseat to tie around her thigh. He used the other one for her other wound.600Please respect copyright.PENANAo8dTJYa2Ed
As he drove, he used his right hand to apply pressure with the towel, trying to slow the bleeding. Normal people would’ve taken her to the hospital, but there was a first-aid kit at home. He figured that he could use that to get her wounds taken care of. He figured she’d ben find after that.600Please respect copyright.PENANA6gjaLmpNfZ
When he’d taken care of her wounds in his room, he was right. She’d be fine.

“Katherine!” he yelled, as he raced towards his wrecked car that she sat in. He’d broken his promise he’d made to her that he’d protect her from Silas. Now she’d somehow caused his car to be totaled. The hood and both sides were crinkled, including the trunk. Also, all of the windows were shattered and he could smell a lot of blood; her blood.600Please respect copyright.PENANA2xT7TAQjMs
When he tried opening the door, it was jammed, so he forced it open. Then, when it opened, her left hand fell off the seat. He gently turned her head towards him and snapped her seatbelt in two. That’s when he saw that she had a dislocated shoulder and a piece of glass grazed in the right side of her neck. She had blood on either side of her head too and was bleeding from the back of her head, but he’d already seen that. He pulled the glass out and scanned the rest of her. Seeing more glass in her, he did the same he’d done with the first glass he’d seen in her. Then he used his vamp strength to move a piece of the car in the floorboard, to free her foot so he could get her to the hospital.600Please respect copyright.PENANAU3DKTJ95VL
He rested gentled hands on either side of her face, head still turned towards him.600Please respect copyright.PENANAbUmw0kL5uN
“Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes. I’m going to get you to the hospital. I just need you to open your eyes.”600Please respect copyright.PENANAjqYCLZK2EJ
After ten minutes, she finally opened her eyes to see him.600Please respect copyright.PENANAHrmsziCd5A
“I’m so sorry, Katherine. Silas told me to hand you over in exchange of him telling me where Stefan is. I promise you, I will never do that again.”600Please respect copyright.PENANA6rmKHNmfwL
She began to close her eyes and he carefully pulled her into his arms.600Please respect copyright.PENANAPnEY8gX9zF
600Please respect copyright.PENANArhUII1Ji1e

Half an hour later, as she was rushed down the hall, because of her extensive injuries, her body was going into shock.600Please respect copyright.PENANA3GFwEUYc5j
600Please respect copyright.PENANAvbbIbQ58lz
600Please respect copyright.PENANAMNiTtajk4R
Hours later, after surgery, she was settled into a recovery room and he was told he could see her. So he went to sit on her bedside and rested his hand on top of her right one. She hadn’t woken up yet, so he was just silent, happy that she was alive.600Please respect copyright.PENANADa9pv2aZIv
He gave a smile, realizing that he more than cared about her. He was falling for her all over again.
