It was a beautiful day, as Damon and Katherine walked side by side, annoying the hell out of each other.774Please respect copyright.PENANATsgZrds71s

Once by what looked to be Elena's house, they saw a newspaper on the lawn.774Please respect copyright.PENANA4GF73cJH25
They stopped and Katherine picked it up.774Please respect copyright.PENANAHiw1Ibb3CU
Damon looked at it over her shoulder.774Please respect copyright.PENANAKwn73syhqb
"October 10, 1994," Katherine read.774Please respect copyright.PENANA73JBt5xllg
"Either we're in my personal hell, or we're living someone else's hell," he commented.774Please respect copyright.PENANA8a0ERo45lm
"Or you're completely wrong," Katherine added.774Please respect copyright.PENANAW8M89WbMoM
Not long afterward, they found their way to the Salvatore boarding house.774Please respect copyright.PENANANZf3lZSBvL

Days went by, each being the same day; the same date. It made them bored, so he learned how to make pancakes and she began doing crossword puzzles.774Please respect copyright.PENANAUW47BRgorY

One day, after an argument, she left him inside a grocery store. Then, when she came back, Damon was in trouble. They had thought that they were the only ones there. Apparently, they were wrong. There was a guy standing in the aisle, all the Bourbon bottles shattered around Damon, Damon on the floor as if he had been vervained, wet from the Bourbon that had fallen on him.774Please respect copyright.PENANAKo3Qh4j4bI
Katherine went to stand not far from her elder childe.774Please respect copyright.PENANA8QIsNEIl5Q
"Am I interrupting something?" she asked, looking at the stranger.774Please respect copyright.PENANAYWwvkkZtXH
"As a matter of fact, you are. You're welcome to join us, though."774Please respect copyright.PENANAJfImPL8hjP
"Leave him alone," she said in warning, before magically throwing the guy against the shelf. No one messed with him except her.774Please respect copyright.PENANAXklCyVWCeK
774Please respect copyright.PENANApp4XedvWDL
774Please respect copyright.PENANAmiiZNTG5fA
When the guy woke up, he was tied to a wooden chair with chains.774Please respect copyright.PENANAZCRZJynkSY
"Here's what's going to happen. One way or another, you're going to tell us everything we want to know. No lying to us, because we can tell if you're lying. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice," Katherine told him.774Please respect copyright.PENANAQi2zOb4AAs
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Damon asked.774Please respect copyright.PENANAdBHS2bmB7f
"Kai. I've been here a long time. No need for details, but I killed most of my siblings, so my father put me here as punishment. I wasn't born a typical witch, but I can absorb someone else's magic and use it as my own by touch. If I absorb too much, it'll kill the person. Then I'll have the person's magic for my own until it dies out. But enough of me. You're Damon Salvatore and Katherine Pierce. I'm surprised you're working together. You hate each other."774Please respect copyright.PENANAZPmjqJqxJn
Not taking the bait, she just simply asked Kai, "Do you know how to get the hell out of here?"774Please respect copyright.PENANAPMXxgL6fSA
"Yes," he replied.774Please respect copyright.PENANAbPPNVJfFUb
"How?" Damon inquired.774Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZUxd8Psfx
"If I tell you, you have to take me with you. But first, if you want to know how to get out of here, you have to let me go," Kai replied.774Please respect copyright.PENANAvcnyZavZHa
"No way," Damon answered.774Please respect copyright.PENANAJCpw5KinUW
"Then you're never getting out of here," Kai told him, looking at both of them.774Please respect copyright.PENANAiBmSRvUHcS
"I hate to say this, but he's right. We won't get out of here without his help. We need him. We've been here for days without a clue on how to get home. I don't like it any better than you do, but it has to be done. He's our ticket out of here," she told Damon.774Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Gtv3J1Ot
"Fine," he replied, seeing her point. Like usual, she was right. Not that he'd ever admit to it outloud or anything.774Please respect copyright.PENANAv1Nenx9QEi
He unchained Kai and Kai went to sit at the table.774Please respect copyright.PENANAvf8xRQIyCK
"Now tell us how we get out of here," Katherine demanded of Kai.774Please respect copyright.PENANAJvpq6OQoBi
"First we use this," he said, grabbing something. "It's an ascendant." He looked at Katherine. "Drip some of your blood on it when we're ready to use it." He looked at them both. "Then, once there's an eclipse, we hold the ascendant and it'll take us home."774Please respect copyright.PENANA3ukuMJ5tDl
"Sounds good," Katherine commented.774Please respect copyright.PENANAXb3Im27Bjh
Damon didn't like working with Kai, but he was willing to do almost anything if it meant that he would be alive and home again.774Please respect copyright.PENANAgkHv8zEuwA
774Please respect copyright.PENANATjMMVmX79f
774Please respect copyright.PENANAvuK5b9CvRa
The day they were planning to go home, they made a plan. Damon killed Kai, before they went down in the cave and waited for the eclipse.774Please respect copyright.PENANAjv9vcHE1OD
When they were in the cave, she dripped her blood on the ascendant and waited, Damon beside her. Then the eclipse came out.774Please respect copyright.PENANA38FyM605yH
Suddenly, Kai arrived with a bow and arrow and shot her with an arrow in her lower stomach.774Please respect copyright.PENANA1bslAlYUIE
"Katherine," her childe said.774Please respect copyright.PENANASdOB1r5eyw
Pain surged through her, but he was there to keep her on her feet.774Please respect copyright.PENANA4uxYnBfiYn
"You thought you could go without me? You were wrong. Now she's going to die for that mistake," Kai said.774Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0XVKBFDwV
"Burn in hell," Katherine responded.774Please respect copyright.PENANAGTZ3IWvADb
A moment later, they disappeared.774Please respect copyright.PENANAWfY0IP3Tcj
As they disappeared, she leaned against Damon.774Please respect copyright.PENANAZT4021wJw9
A few minutes later, they were outside the boarding house, home at last.774Please respect copyright.PENANAtLgk2mcTQJ
"We did it," she said with a smile.774Please respect copyright.PENANAw7UDHpZjYo
They smiled at each other. Then, because of everything they had been through together, and because of the moment, they kissed.774Please respect copyright.PENANAn3xiyuS4C1
A moment later, Katherine pulled away.774Please respect copyright.PENANAc2ezz3gBT0
They looked at each other.774Please respect copyright.PENANAga8FOqK5oI
A moment later, everything went black for her.774Please respect copyright.PENANArhKggOAaIZ
With vampire reflexes, he caught her from hitting the ground and gently layed her down on her back on the ground. He then pulled her gently into his arms, before biting his wrist and putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her, hoping it would work, considering that before she had died and before she had become a Traveler inside Elena and had to be killed, her body had been rejecting vampire blood. He hoped it would work, because he didn't want to watch her die yet again. While in that place with her, he had began to feel something for her. He didn't want her to die.774Please respect copyright.PENANASixhp70OrQ
When her wound healed, he gently picked her up in his arms and went inside with her, heading upstairs to his own room.774Please respect copyright.PENANASJzucoHVy4
774Please respect copyright.PENANA4Tpa5bj90W
774Please respect copyright.PENANAIEUzCgVYML
Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed and sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.774Please respect copyright.PENANAef22PMXUbx
As he waited, he thought of something she had said a few years ago. Considering he didn't hate her anymore, she had been right. "Love; hate; such a fine line."774Please respect copyright.PENANAQWcmKgWNx8
774Please respect copyright.PENANAzzBh2IukUh
774Please respect copyright.PENANA1gRAWjtgdt
An hour later, she came to, clearly back to normal.774Please respect copyright.PENANADA203J8gjR
They smiled at each other and shared a very passionate, lust-filled kiss.
