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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96lTuZArMQ
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEGmFhpsYa
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENpdN1LhFc
I pull her gently into my arms.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYt0aL5oEE
"Rebekah, it's me. Katherine. Can you hear me?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3R89y2o9b
Nothing.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRFUvnenW7
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApptNvdPGx
"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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn9WmS7ciu
"Who would've thought it would've been you," I comment after I put two and two together.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzkkC6AGOq
"What happened?" she asks me.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSqDnwV78c
"I was attacked by a hybrid."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrxxxUXz14
I sit up in bed and look at her.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF3w8XwQIK
"Now, If you don't need anything from me, I need to get home."
Katherine
I watch her as she vanishes.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxxlUcvgYr
"You're welcome," I say to the empty air.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrXF69dF1M
I head downstairs to leave so I can check on Elena.
When I knock on the door, her brother answers it.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgEFA5rckS
"You're not welcome here," he says, as if I don't already know that.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CaZzsIxEZ
"I know, but I came to see how your sister is doing."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmXwIN5YuT
"She's coping. Now go away."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ygVZVapi3
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFKAGeSaAU
"Jer, who is it?" she calls to her brother.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp0Ht3iCED
"No one important."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzcuxpjfwG
She comes up to stand next to him.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uvkt3oapK
"Katherine," she greets, but not in a friendly way.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzv1ScYiHK
"Hey, Elena," I greet more friendlier to her than she did to me.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPRcyMTmWo
"What are you doing here? Now is not the time."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhagL0kQFC
"I came to see you. I heard what happened. I want to help you if you'll let me," I explain.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wpWPrqypq
She sighs.
"Okay. Jeremy, I'll see you later. I'll be back."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ClzDtR1nT
We walk away side by side.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31s8gVUPA1
"Do you really want to help me?" she asks me.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNYk9pcVEv
"Yes. I know you never wanted this."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHQ6QO5HKY
"So you'll help me?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0SE6xFKDR
"Yes."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UlsqGJ71p
"Thank you, Katherine."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr1KO5UL7g
"You're welcome, Elena."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwOWiz5jxb
And so our friendship starts.
