It was a dark night as Damon staggered through the Mystic Falls streets, very warm and sweating, not exactly himself. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAZPZMqM2c3I

Meanwhile, Katherine was out looking for her elder childe, having found that he was MIA.719Please respect copyright.PENANAgiRRNT4Dy6

Once she found him, he began to hallucinate and pinned her to a pole, her back up against it.719Please respect copyright.PENANAxZvSVCz2hu
"I choose you, Katherine."719Please respect copyright.PENANAk04ikK9m1O
When he went for the side of her neck, she knew what he was hallucinating.

It was a dark night in the Mystic Falls woods, as Katherine stood with her back up against a tree, human Damon in front of her. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAUKNZO0kgID
She used a fingernail to make a cut on her left collarbone. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAyFdtKHEWUa
"If you want it, take it," she instructed, teaching him something she had always done as long as she had been a vampire; take whatever you want, no matter the cost to others. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAPvk1y92sK6
He bent towards the cut. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAqZg54ZbQCP
"I choose you, Katherine."719Please respect copyright.PENANAgPaXssd3NA
She smiled.

She rested gentle but firm hands on either side of his head, making him stop, keeping him from biting her and making him look at her. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAO3mwAlDdO6
"You're hallucinating, Damon; stop," she said gently. 719Please respect copyright.PENANA5KBl5yPHE5
"Katherine?" he said, looking at her, realizing he had almost bitten her in the present, when he had hallucinated. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAbB7gpekE4T
"I'm here. It's okay. You didn't hurt me," she assured him. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAIKTfK1fKOe
He let her go and stepped back, which turned into a stagger. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAKEkqeIiv7h
When he began to lose his balance from sudden weakness, she was instantly beside him and put an arm around him to help him. She then used her body weight to keep him on his feet. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAHc99vsjEPj
"Let's go home," she stated.719Please respect copyright.PENANAXOmCTzQxZq
719Please respect copyright.PENANA30jMAc4dT7

Half an hour later, he lay in bed with his sire wetting his face down with a cool wet wash cloth. He was very pale and weak. 719Please respect copyright.PENANA4PjyJQsTlG
As she sat beside him on his bed, she felt helpless. She was helpless next to him. She was his sire and girlfriend. She was supposed to protect or at least save him, but all she could do was watch him slowly and painfully die. Her only hope was for Stefan to get the cure and bring it in time. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAOVVMFNzNOY
"You should go. I could hurt you," he whispered. 719Please respect copyright.PENANASimcaBfEa9
"You won't. I'm here until the very end."719Please respect copyright.PENANABv1MzQxuHb
"I love you," he replied in susurration, thinking this may be the last time he'd get to say it. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAvxYOAdT6BC
"I love you, too."719Please respect copyright.PENANA1U22dahvhx
She bent down and kissed him, before pulling away. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAluXDSXZDjY
He closed his eyes. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAKSruBSOC6Q
"Thank...you," he managed to whisper. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAqIKdXuE5T8
A moment later, Klaus walked in with a vial of blood in hand.719Please respect copyright.PENANAtfmeqBPsTW
She sensed a presence, so she turned to look and was surprised that he was there with the cure, instead of Stefan. 719Please respect copyright.PENANASJ0QmelsL0
"I hate to interrupt dear Katerina, but here you go," he said, walking over to her. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAYyGhHxGMV9
She took it from him. 719Please respect copyright.PENANA9iEPTzGpri
"Where's Stefan?" she questioned. 719Please respect copyright.PENANADftvSa5R4W
"Oh, he's paying for this; bringing out his inner demons. See you around, Katerina," he replied, before vanishing. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAq4dKY1snXQ
She turned back to Damon and uncorked the vial, before putting it to his lips, making the blood go down his throat. 719Please respect copyright.PENANAVw692CyJna
719Please respect copyright.PENANANTAuVmvVTW

Half an hour later he came to, cured, and she told him what he had missed. Now it was time to get Stefan back on track.
