It was a nebulous night at the Salvatore boarding house, as human Katherine set the empty shot glass down on Damon’s drinking table.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy69v3xPRQK
“You’re miserable,” Damon stated.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBdVTiDarV
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4MwSd4Uph
“You’re a liar. Your hair’s messed up, your nails are chipped. You’re a sad, miserable human being and you want me to turn you. So, here.” He bit his wrist and offered it to her.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAec2YUbcZ
She gripped his arm, but hesitated.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbvQI2iHqE
“Go ahead, drink up. I’ll kill you, you’ll bit the mailman, you’ll be a vampire again. Go ahead, come on,” he encouraged.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mf5lXZ5Ua
She let go and looked at him.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEIYSNiKMo
“I can’t, okay? No one’s ever taken the cure before. If I die, there’s a good chance I may never wake up.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZGk2CfiB4
“And that would be tragic,” he commented, not caring.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrK3r0TT2l
“And deep down, in that mushy-gushy Elena-loving heart, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want me to die,” she said, standing in front of him, a hand on his chest. Then she stepped back. “I have enemies everywhere. What happens when word gets out that I’m a human? I can’t protect myself. I’m weak and I’m slow. Do you have any idea what it’s like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon. Please, just…help me,” she pleaded with him.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eJxj75QA3
He looked at her in silence, debating on what to do. She was right, because they would always have a connection. He hated that and her, but he couldn’t deny it.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLaai5pTrV
“Fine. I’ll protect you,” he stated, not sure if it was a promise or not.

She silently watched, as he walked out of the living room. She knew why, too. She’d broken his heart so many times that he hated her. He hated what she’d done when she’d been a vampire. Now that she had humanity, she found herself wanting to apologize and to tell the truth to him, instead of lying to him. She knew that he wouldn’t believe her, though.

It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the car after having tried to run when Damon had tried handing her over to Silas. She tried to stay awake despite her injuries, but knew if she wasn’t found soon, her injuries would kill her.

About forty minutes later, he finally found his wrecked car with Katherine still inside. He could smell blood, even from a distance. He blurred to her side of the car, and saw that she was quite injured. There was a shard of glass in her thigh and side. Her wrist was cut from a few small pieces of glass by her on the seat. There was blood on either side of her head, too.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83KAgL16UQ
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvDqncDOjg
“I’m so sorry, Katherine,” he apologized, though he didn’t know if she could hear him. “Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes if you can hear me.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwHaqD3pY2
He waited for a few minutes, but didn’t get anything from her.

He took his hands away and pulled out both shards of glass, and tossed them to the ground. He then gently picked her up in his arms and blurred towards the hospital. As he did, he could tell that she had and was still losing a lot of blood, not to mention the artery in her thigh had been opened by the shard of glass he’d pulled out, and she was very pale.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczriNXK3Zx
This is my fault. Just hang on. Don’t die on me, he thought, knowing if he didn’t get her to the hospital soon, she was going to die.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIw1r16cKF
“Stay with me, Katherine,” he said. “Please.”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyKGw6pa7u
He blurred to the hospital, hoping she’d live.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P0sq4qspa

Half an hour later, he walked into the hospital with her in his arms, which Meredith saw. Damon saw an unused bed in the hallway and gently layed her down on it.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15ULTrTHPe
Meredith came over.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCqW7dIoIt
“What happened?”575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqsmrfGBMO
“She wrecked my car and got herself injured in the process. I’ll explain later, but this is my fault,” he summarized.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEdcFgJ5Le
Meredith knew he wasn’t telling her everything, but didn’t question him. Right now, all that mattered was saving Katherine’s life.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ymlhuoPVH
She put a breathing mask on her.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SniPamTbg
“I’ll let you know how it goes,” she told him.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM9wwCnvyx

Half an hour later, he was in the waiting room, while Katherine was in surgery. He hoped that she’d be okay, but he didn’t know what extent her injuries were. He wasn’t a doctor. All he knew was how to tend to wounds.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHJflg49OV
575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5AlGQ3Y6K
575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY10rTvFZ7
A few hours later, Meredith informed him that she’d be okay and he went to her room.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBZSlDwja4
He sat on her bedside with a gentle hand on the side of her face, looking down at her, glad that she was alive, and waited for her to wake up.575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv857AlaLN
575Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVTLLfoQh5

An hour later, she woke up and they settled things between each other, and he took her home. And so their love story continued.
