It was a beautiful day, as Damon and Katherine walked side by side, annoying the hell out of each other.776Please respect copyright.PENANAZKAQeRucR0

Once by what looked to be Elena's house, they saw a newspaper on the lawn.776Please respect copyright.PENANAmuY0qTQPHJ
They stopped and Katherine picked it up.776Please respect copyright.PENANAnP57SYKw1j
Damon looked at it over her shoulder.776Please respect copyright.PENANAcLh5EursVc
"October 10, 1994," Katherine read.776Please respect copyright.PENANAHgDhQ3p698
"Either we're in my personal hell, or we're living someone else's hell," he commented.776Please respect copyright.PENANAXiKtTqcb5x
"Or you're completely wrong," Katherine added.776Please respect copyright.PENANAlDxqkuy8Xv
Not long afterward, they found their way to the Salvatore boarding house.776Please respect copyright.PENANAEKetiHk68a

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.776Please respect copyright.PENANAvEflH1f3mx

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.776Please respect copyright.PENANA6RdpDRe4PO
Katherine went to stand not far from her elder childe.776Please respect copyright.PENANAUTEgiiIzfM
"Am I interrupting something?" she asked, looking at the stranger.776Please respect copyright.PENANAVSejJ4W46D
"As a matter of fact, you are. You're welcome to join us, though."776Please respect copyright.PENANA8LfN5zF0mv
"Leave him alone," she said in warning, before magically throwing the guy against the shelf. No one messed with him except her.776Please respect copyright.PENANAUYMgLNmZyJ
776Please respect copyright.PENANA79oamZhvrC
776Please respect copyright.PENANAouTb1PfNBl
When the guy woke up, he was tied to a wooden chair with chains.776Please respect copyright.PENANAiHvhFlJN3B
"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.776Please respect copyright.PENANAI3iW1fUOTU
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Damon asked.776Please respect copyright.PENANAwWGr3P0MVs
"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."776Please respect copyright.PENANAqiU5yQIZdx
Not taking the bait, she just simply asked Kai, "Do you know how to get the hell out of here?"776Please respect copyright.PENANA2z4ymTdiLY
"Yes," he replied.776Please respect copyright.PENANAjnbeytius9
"How?" Damon inquired.776Please respect copyright.PENANAkLawcMGWP6
"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.776Please respect copyright.PENANAKGAtMB1b3R
"No way," Damon answered.776Please respect copyright.PENANAtCsRLs2KLe
"Then you're never getting out of here," Kai told him, looking at both of them.776Please respect copyright.PENANAPY5rH72u01
"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.776Please respect copyright.PENANAPEk0opfYD5
"Fine," he replied, seeing her point. Like usual, she was right. Not that he'd ever admit to it outloud or anything.776Please respect copyright.PENANALnP1ZRYiUE
He unchained Kai and Kai went to sit at the table.776Please respect copyright.PENANA6gqTesAGiP
"Now tell us how we get out of here," Katherine demanded of Kai.776Please respect copyright.PENANA9TDsGaOtt7
"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."776Please respect copyright.PENANAv6iiIfVKzU
"Sounds good," Katherine commented.776Please respect copyright.PENANAHa3R8XpC3T
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.776Please respect copyright.PENANAFFwBgi1Rwk
776Please respect copyright.PENANAny5d1gwTh3
776Please respect copyright.PENANAWBoJ5eaUjA
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.776Please respect copyright.PENANAurNkwCxsHU
When they were in the cave, she dripped her blood on the ascendant and waited, Damon beside her. Then the eclipse came out.776Please respect copyright.PENANAL9cN1Rfe8w
Suddenly, Kai arrived with a bow and arrow and shot her with an arrow in her lower stomach.776Please respect copyright.PENANAhenJbsiQRj
"Katherine," her childe said.776Please respect copyright.PENANAxe8g7kfAHa
Pain surged through her, but he was there to keep her on her feet.776Please respect copyright.PENANA94vgKYEH4A
"You thought you could go without me? You were wrong. Now she's going to die for that mistake," Kai said.776Please respect copyright.PENANALmzjelbyna
"Burn in hell," Katherine responded.776Please respect copyright.PENANAxKpytv4w02
A moment later, they disappeared.776Please respect copyright.PENANA05wba3K91Z
As they disappeared, she leaned against Damon.776Please respect copyright.PENANASFgCBrcfWV
A few minutes later, they were outside the boarding house, home at last.776Please respect copyright.PENANAXfJufxIbjC
"We did it," she said with a smile.776Please respect copyright.PENANAH1nAehi1ms
They smiled at each other. Then, because of everything they had been through together, and because of the moment, they kissed.776Please respect copyright.PENANAFNyd3NLL6X
A moment later, Katherine pulled away.776Please respect copyright.PENANANAcZld2b2H
They looked at each other.776Please respect copyright.PENANAuZLAhvQYc7
A moment later, everything went black for her.776Please respect copyright.PENANAjYiN7MNona
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.776Please respect copyright.PENANAzqiLZLN2Hp
When her wound healed, he gently picked her up in his arms and went inside with her, heading upstairs to his own room.776Please respect copyright.PENANApq506F66FC
776Please respect copyright.PENANAePsGuxk8Ve
776Please respect copyright.PENANAnnoz27rqIe
Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed and sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.776Please respect copyright.PENANAVm0U9Qr1Dt
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."776Please respect copyright.PENANAIVQQp8DV2a
776Please respect copyright.PENANAuQBlsi5Zyt
776Please respect copyright.PENANABhpLPvQTUw
An hour later, she came to, clearly back to normal.776Please respect copyright.PENANA2OAbMM6BA1
They smiled at each other and shared a very passionate, lust-filled kiss.
