Katherine Pierce

540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXPr4mBLBv
I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVaWLLm3bI
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ceN9wMZ22
I toss the empty blood bag onto the floor and look him over, remembering Klaus saying he's unclean. And that's when I see it. The werewolf bite.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1x3TDEJTc
"No," I say. "No. Damon."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeAukBg3bw
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN76Kv3yxOL
"Elena, it's me. We have a problem. Did Damon tell you if he was bitten by a werewolf or not? He has a werewolf bite on his arm. And I can't get him up. Can you come over?" I say, before she can say anything.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWQjcV75za
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhPg97A3Z4
She hangs up and I put his phone back.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvQ78Q7jpt
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vTUZ03PFu
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge1vK5XOji
I wait.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRGsfEyGCI
Nothing.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFtE4QhM0r
I take his hand in mine.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrbNJbFtDQ
I can't lose you, Damon. Please wake up, I think to him.
Elena soon arrives and kneels down on the left side of him. The opposite side I'm on.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEs0CqAZIn
"We need to get him home," I inform her.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG5a5avA0J
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6nwIODGQb
"I don't know. Klaus must've taken it. And we don't have time to waste. We'll have to manage. Even if I burn alive helping him. It's worth it. I owe him one and he's my family. Family is everything to me."
By the time we get him in bed, I'm burnt terribly. I lean against the wall by his bedroom door, back against the wall, my vision blurry, my focus going in and out, as I watch Elena standing at his bedside with a wet wash cloth.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW3bv0OizZ
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUbl2lT51r
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3GHyBqF5e
"Katherine," she says.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5UZxXDm8R
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvxQoeF3FZ
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA1rKxwzVB
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nehscMbE9
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydEsw2PW48
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6rhtZ2cS6
"I don't know."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVPN6Srftt
Alaric Saltzman walks in.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vmRlRBXkr
"How's Damon doing?"540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCaM11IcxA
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LVlw5YLOW
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCmilyVdgG
I feel myself slide down the wall, as weakness starts to come.

I go to Katherine Pierce and catch her, as she starts to slide down the wall. I see she's weak, burnt badly, and fighting to stay awake. But how much longer can she fight? Even a vampire has to give up someday. And Katherine's been fighting constantly for 500 years. I have to try and help her, though. For Elena's sake.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR0WUt9Otx
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp6XFoncTI
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkKgHBB85J
"I'm going home," I tell Elena, before leaving with Katherine.
Not long afterward, I enter my apartment, closing the door behind myself. I then set her on her feet. I came here so Elena wouldn't know what's going to happen. I should probably kill Katherine now. Put her out of her misery with a stake through her heart. But for some reason, I can't find the will to do that to her.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CDVwJUw8j
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHihrEzlG16
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlqU8SxfEr
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaTgmC8kRQ
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqaDnWFkK0
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCeiePRVNx
I gently lay her down on the floor and take my jacket off. I use my jacket to put under her head and see her skin start turning purple.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdwNlrSmrz
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiN8xfJFXY
I check to see if she's breathing. Obviously, she's not. So, even though she's a vampire, I give her some breath before pulling her into my arms gently. She's breathing again, which is a good sign. I use a knife to cut my wrist, and I gently position her head back, putting my wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to I'm feeling better. I look down at my arm and my bite mark is gone. That means I've been cured.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Yx2fepOu
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Ig6kpRNz
"Thanks," I say.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv9eL85qaw
"You should think, Katherine too. She was nearly burnt alive getting you here. Ric's at home helping her. She told me the cure before she nearly blacked out on us," she explains.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9iciNecI4
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh5wCdsnai
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGesAAjoDMq
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv6lFzChj5
I stand by my drinking table and pour myself a shot glass of liquor, slowly sipping it.

I feel the familiar liquid once I awaken, and start drinking. But once I have my strength back, my senses come alert. I can hear someone's heart beating and hear breathing. And the blood is warm…so warm and fresh. And then I smell Alaric's scent. Everything comes flooding back and I realize I'm drinking from Alaric. He gave me his blood to save my life. He probably did it for Elena.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB8EVwnspC
I stop drinking and open my eyes.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOGgalDdik
I look up at him and know I nearly died. And that means I took a lot. He's very pale. I nearly killed Elena's guardian.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VMPTwSSL2
I get to my feet, as does he.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbHDMQs2kc
"Thanks," I say.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug7w9qMIiy
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLgfCJm9ig
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR89GtKcAST
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC85RKat0f
"You need blood, Alaric."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKedSGRf7fq
"No," he argues.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbGy3G1Ohs
"Alaric, you're going to die."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZakV49i4h
"Then I'll die."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAsnT5dGKV
I hear his heart and breathing slow.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jCRq83dkm
"I don't want you to."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JKZFCubfu
I look at his hand and his ring is off.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyMtZuuc3r
No, I think to myself.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp51il1HtL
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIgsKrvv15
At vamp speed, I'm instantly kneeling at his side. He's still breathing. Barely. This is all my fault. I've been so stupid today.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kWeddEX20
I bite my wrist and put it to his lips, making my blood go down his throat to heal him. I listen, as it helps him get stronger, and watch as his color comes back to his skin. I know he didn't want this, but I'd rather him be angry at me, than for him to die.

I come to to see myself on myself on my back on my floor. Katherine is knelt at my side.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCFJsLgU6W
I sit up.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvOJDFZ8H6
"Thank you."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq96PsZ7dWB
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65WCGu7i7z
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6htsr54MjP
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cynQNieJ9
She helps me to my feet.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TC8w8GdnO
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
