It was a beautiful day, as Damon and Katherine walked side by side, annoying the hell out of each other.708Please respect copyright.PENANALpyHMg6GRw

Once by what looked to be Elena's house, they saw a newspaper on the lawn.708Please respect copyright.PENANAHUfzG8HbYS
They stopped and Katherine picked it up.708Please respect copyright.PENANAywJcrXFLam
Damon looked at it over her shoulder.708Please respect copyright.PENANAGk2p2HuJ0b
"October 10, 1994," Katherine read.708Please respect copyright.PENANAkErPY0XfKp
"Either we're in my personal hell, or we're living someone else's hell," he commented.708Please respect copyright.PENANATqeRSKChS7
"Or you're completely wrong," Katherine added.708Please respect copyright.PENANA5kfcRUcuQb
Not long afterward, they found their way to the Salvatore boarding house.708Please respect copyright.PENANAgA2hFpZUEd

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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAtvQ6la5CJg

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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAleVkyQ4wKX
Katherine went to stand not far from her elder childe.708Please respect copyright.PENANAJs3q9BPJos
"Am I interrupting something?" she asked, looking at the stranger.708Please respect copyright.PENANA36r4YO77NO
"As a matter of fact, you are. You're welcome to join us, though."708Please respect copyright.PENANA2eFk9pcCZg
"Leave him alone," she said in warning, before magically throwing the guy against the shelf. No one messed with him except her.708Please respect copyright.PENANAFTv9u67rQz
708Please respect copyright.PENANAVeX9tjPKJV
708Please respect copyright.PENANAc6CvXqDBlP
When the guy woke up, he was tied to a wooden chair with chains.708Please respect copyright.PENANAGzbPNphWNJ
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAwpSpATzk4J
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Damon asked.708Please respect copyright.PENANAr4eS3MImTL
"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."708Please respect copyright.PENANAuFzGvbkifQ
Not taking the bait, she just simply asked Kai, "Do you know how to get the hell out of here?"708Please respect copyright.PENANAaNxKjMtzcr
"Yes," he replied.708Please respect copyright.PENANAi6oFfIC9O0
"How?" Damon inquired.708Please respect copyright.PENANAPsyELTXNfa
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAKj3rLrwbvx
"No way," Damon answered.708Please respect copyright.PENANAfNQ5WYF4Sp
"Then you're never getting out of here," Kai told him, looking at both of them.708Please respect copyright.PENANAGXxKUqMoF2
"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.708Please respect copyright.PENANALppXIqB4Lx
"Fine," he replied, seeing her point. Like usual, she was right. Not that he'd ever admit to it outloud or anything.708Please respect copyright.PENANAFfIIoA0vX6
He unchained Kai and Kai went to sit at the table.708Please respect copyright.PENANAYBxXIFofZ3
"Now tell us how we get out of here," Katherine demanded of Kai.708Please respect copyright.PENANAB6PbiV6zNP
"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."708Please respect copyright.PENANAxO9xhu6SrG
"Sounds good," Katherine commented.708Please respect copyright.PENANAnxlZxYTl56
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAMWxZqPBhP5
708Please respect copyright.PENANALPYjADPg6z
708Please respect copyright.PENANAITLdkKj2km
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANAQDhzxKkj9v
When they were in the cave, she dripped her blood on the ascendant and waited, Damon beside her. Then the eclipse came out.708Please respect copyright.PENANACqAlKgz4Mi
Suddenly, Kai arrived with a bow and arrow and shot her with an arrow in her lower stomach.708Please respect copyright.PENANAN1HfUIm3kX
"Katherine," her childe said.708Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wf24wruVN
Pain surged through her, but he was there to keep her on her feet.708Please respect copyright.PENANAcF7TTydGbs
"You thought you could go without me? You were wrong. Now she's going to die for that mistake," Kai said.708Please respect copyright.PENANASds6fyGraj
"Burn in hell," Katherine responded.708Please respect copyright.PENANAeIVBMyWJl8
A moment later, they disappeared.708Please respect copyright.PENANAvz0pyWsOyy
As they disappeared, she leaned against Damon.708Please respect copyright.PENANAiEY5omr5PN
A few minutes later, they were outside the boarding house, home at last.708Please respect copyright.PENANARimIAsVp6v
"We did it," she said with a smile.708Please respect copyright.PENANAcN51QL55KR
They smiled at each other. Then, because of everything they had been through together, and because of the moment, they kissed.708Please respect copyright.PENANA5WWPbKc79Q
A moment later, Katherine pulled away.708Please respect copyright.PENANAqte59GrUj7
They looked at each other.708Please respect copyright.PENANAovJ9MsBc1i
A moment later, everything went black for her.708Please respect copyright.PENANAq0NN5CEAu4
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.708Please respect copyright.PENANA3US8XgO0Fx
When her wound healed, he gently picked her up in his arms and went inside with her, heading upstairs to his own room.708Please respect copyright.PENANA8Se62Bqwfo
708Please respect copyright.PENANAC4pn3ddTbA
708Please respect copyright.PENANAhK00bhKXiG
Once in his room, he gently layed her down in his bed and sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to.708Please respect copyright.PENANA3xHMDpieYD
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."708Please respect copyright.PENANAPUwUf9Qlvz
708Please respect copyright.PENANAXggyoxMP0j
708Please respect copyright.PENANAs7rE6Aj0eA
An hour later, she came to, clearly back to normal.708Please respect copyright.PENANAckTcwCwa43
They smiled at each other and shared a very passionate, lust-filled kiss.
