Summary: Set between S4E6 "We All Go A Little Mad Sometimes" and S4E7 "My Brother's Keeper." Jeremy is one of The Five, but his nightmares haven't started yet and he hasn't tried to kill Elena yet. Katherine comes back to town after she finds out that Elena has just become a vampire. She says she wants to help her, but is it true? Rebekah gets into trouble. Will she be saved?
Katherine
It's a dark night, as I drive my SUV through Mystic Falls, Virginia on my way to Elena's to check on her. I heard what happened to her and I know she didn't want to be one of us; a vampire.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zcAm26hpt
When I smell smoke not far away, I drive through the forest until I see a house on fire. I then park not far from the little, brown house to investigate.
As I enter and walk around, fire is all around me and wood is falling and catching fire. And as I head towards what looks like the former living room, I smell a little of her scent. Rebekah Mikaelson. I have to save her. She's Klaus' only sister and she can be useful at certain times.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEVw4uTKkZ
When I see her, I'm instantly at her side. I kneel beside and look down at her to assess her condition. I can see she was attacked. It looks like a werewolf or hybrid. She has been scratched a lot and has been bitten twice. She's still bleeding and her eyes are closed. There's a dagger in her abdomen which is not what a phased hybrid or werewolf can do. And I smell vervain. She's not healing, so she might be dying.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugpFbNke4D
I pull her gently into my arms.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOyMSCiP3S
"Rebekah, it's me. Katherine. Can you hear me?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn7lseO44x
Nothing.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1rrOHIDds
I gently pick her up and leave the house at vamp speed. Then, once outside, I lay her gently down by my SUV and use my jacket as a pillow for her head. I then kneel beside her and look down at her. I sense that she's still breathing, but it's very shallow. I'm right. She's dying. I pull the dagger out and lay it on the ground.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wblV1tAtd
"Hang in there, Rebekah," I encourage her, though I'm uncertain as to if she can hear me or not.
Ten minutes later, I'm driving out of the forest with Rebekah in the passenger's seat. I have a house of my own in Mystic Falls, so I'm going to take her there. I have some of the cure there if I'm not too late to save her life.
Rebekah
When I wake up, I feel like myself and I'm healed. I'm on an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room. Katherine Pierce is standing at my bedside.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaZz1Ogt8F
"Who would've thought it would've been you," I comment after I put two and two together.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeMDtc33NO
"What happened?" she asks me.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwCbsKGCYT
"I was attacked by a hybrid."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97vc6rmDiS
I sit up in bed and look at her.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5PRS12LqO
"Now, If you don't need anything from me, I need to get home."
Katherine
I watch her as she vanishes.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveopg76FfL
"You're welcome," I say to the empty air.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTxhQt1Rrt
I head downstairs to leave so I can check on Elena.
When I knock on the door, her brother answers it.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssoHWspfRQ
"You're not welcome here," he says, as if I don't already know that.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPgdcdDdxG
"I know, but I came to see how your sister is doing."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G3lzzhl9B
"She's coping. Now go away."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWeVIfSNwo
I know he's trying to make me leave since he doesn't like me. He seems different to me. There's a scent to him and I realize what's different. He's a Hunter now. Not just any Hunter. He's one of The Five. This makes me a little wary, but I urge myself to stay where I am.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aM5Nhi2GZ
"Jer, who is it?" she calls to her brother.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoiKHWcWRp
"No one important."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNMKs6u5jd
She comes up to stand next to him.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOdhrIUCkw
"Katherine," she greets, but not in a friendly way.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnlc47MlVe
"Hey, Elena," I greet more friendlier to her than she did to me.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTEcgVEUZi
"What are you doing here? Now is not the time."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ827YKQIMH9
"I came to see you. I heard what happened. I want to help you if you'll let me," I explain.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkxqx1B2z0
She sighs.
"Okay. Jeremy, I'll see you later. I'll be back."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RyI9J8W90
We walk away side by side.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpSZkAHblv
"Do you really want to help me?" she asks me.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfildBv7Iy
"Yes. I know you never wanted this."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRLmNbzawi
"So you'll help me?"694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XLt9esBFm
"Yes."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEB0FF6u7C
"Thank you, Katherine."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH6WxGgRpW
"You're welcome, Elena."694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReIk9B7rbt
And so our friendship starts.
