Summary: Set in S4E7 "My Brother's Keeper." Jeremy tries to kill Elena and she gets hurt. Will someone save her in time? Katherine gets hurt in the parlor too. Will she live?
It was a beautiful day, as Jeremy Gilbert stood in the parlor, a stake in his left hand.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssi4gQd9wT
A moment, Elena Gilbert walked into the parlor to see her brother.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp0CA1VnJQ
"Where have you been? We've been looking for you," she told him.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLzJ3zBV5N
He started to turn the stake around in his hand.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Qg3BcZQs
"What are you doing with that?" she asked cautiously.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBK5XUGWsI
"Every bone in my body is telling me to drive this stake through your heart," he answered her. "I don't want to."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTPm91I9ZW
"Then don't."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdRRGVVv4V
"You're a vampire."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW3csVoXnC
"Yeah, but I'm also your sister," she told him, as she stood in front of him.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qXBR0rAeB
He was silent.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aKAGKMOp3
"Jer, you know I wouldn't hurt you," she added.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh843oUA2Y9
He showed her his bloody hand and veins started to show under her eyes, as she fought to control her thirst for it.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGWTQWtABO
She took a few steps back.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApMBEpHXos
"Get that away from me."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGpHS4PpdC
Suddenly, he lunged at her and she through him, making him land on his back on the floor.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSuCY59Ago
"Oh, my God. Jeremy."
She knelt at his side.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGew9JcmRiD
"Jer, wake up. Jer. Please wake up, Jer," she called.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANZQAuZlQE
Suddenly, before she could react, he attacked her and she felt something go into the side of her neck.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BIAm2H9wX
Jeremy got to his feet and stood over her.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOGyoN1GnE
She was on her knees on the floor, as she used one hand to try and locate what was in the side of her neck. Blood ran down the side of her neck, as she tried. Then her vision went blurry, and it was as if she couldn't breathe. She knew what it felt like to get a burn from vervain, but she hadn't been vervained until now.
Katherine Pierce was in the crowd of people that didn't know her, when she smelled a faint scent of fear mixed with blood. So she followed the scent trail.
When she arrived in the parlor, she saw Jeremy with a stake raised to kill his sister. Elena was on her back in very bad condition. She didn't know why Elena was a vampire or why Jeremy was going to kill her, but Elena was her family.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLzsI9gBin
At vamp speed, she grabbed him and through him, making him hit a wall and land on the floor out cold.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb8YdWPqRR
Katherine knelt down at her descendant's side and pulled the vervained piece of wood out of the side of her neck, ignoring the pain. She set it on the floor and looked down at her.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDD107ueLW
"Elena, can you hear me? It's me," she called to her.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDfdJWaDRw
Elena heard a familiar female voice, but she couldn't respond to it. She was too tired. She couldn't think.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiyrARqpx6
"Elena, stay with me. Stay awake," Katherine begged.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkibMKRtTt
She pulled a barely conscious Elena gently into her arms and bit her wrist. She then put it to her lips.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Cm4ZAle0
"Elena, drink," she said.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikD3f0w3Db
As darkness started to fog her mind, Elena felt the familiar liquid and started to drink.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjX26r8Xd8
The elder vampiress sighed in relief, as she watched Elena drink. It relieved her that the last of her Petrova bloodline family would be okay. Even though she hadn't shown it until now, family meant everything to her.
When Elena felt like herself again, she stopped drinking and opened her eyes, only to see Katherine Pierce.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB21rCnE2l
Elena sat up and Katherine let go of her.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw8nZXhdcc
"Katherine?"611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kv20mgaIB
"It's me," she said.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ixmkG16d
"You saved me."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncynMgVvTD
"A thank you would be nice," Kat commented.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH9CWnD7Yr
"What are you doing back?"611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACnM6L3dVJ
"Hiding from an old enemy."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy1eoG7KNi
"Klaus?" Elena guessed.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTjgv6OPx9
"No. Someone else. Another Original. Apparently, I'm here saving you, too."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJutARFoe1
"Thanks," Elena said.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcJxA5ih9m
Kat watched Elena get to her feet and go over to check on her brother, before she got to her own feet. She felt weak now, though, and staggered back against a wall. Her vision was blurry and unfocused. Then everything became distant and gray. She knew she should have fed, but food had been scarce for the past month. Then she felt pain in her head, as her head hit something. Another pain came from something else, but she didn't know what.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5yPYGNWQa
Elena looked over her shoulder, smelling blood. Then, seeing Katherine on her back on the floor, was instantly at her side.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBznwUYx1Ro
Seeing Elena and knowing Elena didn't know what was happening to her, she spoke as darkness started to close in.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkb25khLRx
"I haven't eaten for a while. I've been too busy hiding."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc2smHiyxt
Elena realized that the vampiress was in need of food; vampire food. She also knew that she smelled blood. So, she scanned for the source.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtzj2SabQv
"Hang in there," Elena encouraged, as the vampiress started to black out.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlhd3QIecC
Just then she saw a pool of blood start to form around her shoulders. That meant something had wounded her in the back.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvVQW9cQqg
Elena gently pulled her into her arms and pulled a knife out of the middle of her back between her shoulder blades. When she did, Katherine gasped softly and groaned. Elena then tossed the knife to the floor and took Kat's jacket off. She bundled it up and set it on the floor, before gently laying her down away from the blood, jacket under head.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lSha0WQ7w
"Katherine, if you can hear me, you'll be okay."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FmqrzZMeF
Elena bit her wrist and put it to an out cold Katherine's lips, making it go down her throat, while listening to her labored breathing. With her free hand, she held Katherine's left hand.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3m2mGDDCq
"Fight it, Katherine. Don't die on me. You saved me. Now it's my turn."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXBY968WIf
She looked down at her pale, dying descendant. Veins were showing on her, but they were slowly disappearing from sight. She knew that was a good sign.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9vjpZMmm1
After a few more minutes, she took her wrist away, which instantly healed. She then picked her gently up in her arms, grabbed Kat's jacket, got to her feet, and headed out the back to get Katherine to the boarding house.
Katherine groaned, as she opened her eyes. She was in a room in someone's bed. And as her focus settled, she saw Elena seated on her bedside.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6XtLzkdvQ
"You worried me," Elena greeted.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13CH6GQJW9
"I guess we both did. Thanks for saving my life. Sorry I scared you."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpKOLNjD5t
"It's okay. Just don't do that again."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW9UasW6sE
She knew Elena meant for her not to be stupid like that ever again.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPCoTi4cCZ
"Is your brother okay?" she asked her.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwpNCRWVfS
"Jeremy's fine. He apologized to me and everything. He wasn't himself. He's a potential."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzToM3YmDdI
Kat knew what Elena was saying.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50yYGalqpK
"We have our work cut out for us then," she said to Elena.
"Yeah; we do."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDDu2xcb7R
Kat slowly sat up in bed.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU483GkcyT9
"I'll owe you someday for this."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb4lZhLIJn
They looked at one another in silence.
