It was a dark night as Damon staggered through the Mystic Falls streets, very warm and sweating, not exactly himself. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA3x9W071BFs

Meanwhile, Katherine was out looking for her elder childe, having found that he was MIA.717Please respect copyright.PENANAxlQ5igE55b

Once she found him, he began to hallucinate and pinned her to a pole, her back up against it.717Please respect copyright.PENANALpXd4vkKJF
"I choose you, Katherine."717Please respect copyright.PENANADwqnjkjLP5
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. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAMvNqYdJW1o
She used a fingernail to make a cut on her left collarbone. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA3PHCKAZ06r
"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. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAdSJ9vjEqBo
He bent towards the cut. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAWoY9DZJvvB
"I choose you, Katherine."717Please respect copyright.PENANAa6rof4dhmK
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. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAQJQ8h3ZsGA
"You're hallucinating, Damon; stop," she said gently. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAfwJv5GSyN4
"Katherine?" he said, looking at her, realizing he had almost bitten her in the present, when he had hallucinated. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAXtFWrFnr7C
"I'm here. It's okay. You didn't hurt me," she assured him. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAZHgLisYSuV
He let her go and stepped back, which turned into a stagger. 717Please respect copyright.PENANACmnzJnnwet
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. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAVpgoyqKL4x
"Let's go home," she stated.717Please respect copyright.PENANARAz8WytGJw

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. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAHQoo1GaboS
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. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA0hkpRHIrrx
"You should go. I could hurt you," he whispered. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAafMzNzF6bn
"You won't. I'm here until the very end."717Please respect copyright.PENANA1RsBxckuJK
"I love you," he replied in susurration, thinking this may be the last time he'd get to say it. 717Please respect copyright.PENANADcwWCqpdxl
"I love you, too."717Please respect copyright.PENANAWFOYaIMRnE
She bent down and kissed him, before pulling away. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAbQQOxApcia
He closed his eyes. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAIFUE7EpZUM
"Thank...you," he managed to whisper. 717Please respect copyright.PENANALLzGXASPnz
A moment later, Klaus walked in with a vial of blood in hand.717Please respect copyright.PENANAzmPthmFIlk
She sensed a presence, so she turned to look and was surprised that he was there with the cure, instead of Stefan. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAk6WuTUcD9z
"I hate to interrupt dear Katerina, but here you go," he said, walking over to her. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAirCJGv9sLC
She took it from him. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA4sLzWMLjAS
"Where's Stefan?" she questioned. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAJjBeNrzKd9
"Oh, he's paying for this; bringing out his inner demons. See you around, Katerina," he replied, before vanishing. 717Please respect copyright.PENANA0nsvOuHR1P
She turned back to Damon and uncorked the vial, before putting it to his lips, making the blood go down his throat. 717Please respect copyright.PENANAWZZRQm6g7i
717Please respect copyright.PENANA1ioUwqacgb

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.
