Introduction
There is a legend of two different creatures of the night, but one did not stay as a creature of the night. Instead, she got turned back into a human by getting the cure shoved down her throat. For 500 years, she was a legend as well as a nightmare. She lived to manipulate, lie, deceive, betray, and torture. She was the most cunning vampire known to all. Because she was a terrible person and had made many enemies as a vampire, after the cure for vampirism was shoved down her throat, she became a fearful human. She had nowhere to turn to and no one to ask for help, so she wandered around and found her way to a place she’d never been to. A town called Beacon Hills.
The other creature of the night was a legendary werewolf. He’d lost his family to a fire set by a hunter named Kate Argent. His legend began there, being the last living Hale. Or so they thought. For a long while, he left town until finally returning.
Shortly after he returned, the former vampire came to town. This is the story of Katherine Pierce and Derek Hale, from friends to falling in love, no matter how different it was.
Ch.1: A New Friend
It was a dismal night, as a human Kat drove down a road. She’d recently gotten the cure shoved down her throat. The car she was driving was what she’d stolen in Mystic Falls, Virginia. She hated feeling useless and fragile, but she couldn’t help it. Now that she was human, she was afraid; more afraid than ever. She wasn’t someone to let fear consume her, but she couldn’t stop her feelings. She’d made too many enemies to count as a vampire. The only way she felt she could survive was to keep driving. Besides, running was all she knew how to do after the life she’d led.
When she drove past a sign that read Welcome to Beacon Hills, there was something that ran in front of the car. She hit the brakes and ended up crashing the car into a tree.
She groaned from pain and saw the biggest werewolf she’d ever seen. She could tell it wasn’t the nice kind, either. It stood not far from the car and began to approach. That’s when she knew that it wanted to turn her into its dinner. She also knew there wasn’t much she could do. And she wasn’t in the best of shape right now. She couldn’t fend off a wolf, even if her life depended on it.
As she sat in her seat, in pain and injured, she watched the wolf, as it came to the car and easily got the door open. Before it could do anything else though, she and the wolf heard the sound of another wolf.
The wolf turned away from her and she saw the wolf that had roared. He wasn’t fully phased, though. That’s when she realized that wolves here were different. She knew a battle was coming.
She turned her head away and could hear the fighting between them.
About half an hour later, she heard the battle end and someone approach, so she turned her head to see him. It was the wolf that had attacked the fully phased wolf. She knew he was here to help her.
“What’s your name?” he asked her.
“Katherine Pierce,” she answered him. Although she usually didn’t give her name to strangers, she knew she had to so he could help her.
“I’m Derek Hale. I’m going to help you,” he replied.
When he told her that, she knew her assumption was right. He was there to rescue her. Then, a moment after that thought, everything went black for her.
Katherine didn’t know how long she’d been out, but when she woke up, she was in a hospital room and she realized that she was taken care of. She was in a little bit of pain, but she didn’t care. She’d learned centuries ago that pain made you stronger, as long as you could ignore the pain and move on. She also saw that it was daylight now. After she’d assessed all of this, she saw Derek walk in.
“You’re finally awake,” he greeted.
“If you came to make sure I survived, it takes more than a werewolf attack to get rid of me. I’m a lot stronger than I look. It’s sweet that you came to check on me, though.”
“You know about werewolves,” he stated.
“Well, I should hope so. I was a 538 year old vampire until my doppelganger shoved the cure for vampirism down my throat. That’s how I’m human. Since I made many enemies as a vampire, I thought I’d be safe if I kept going.”
“If you’d like, you could stay with me and I’ll protect you if you need it. I know what it’s like to always be running from something. I also know what it’s like to be alone. There are a few other wolves, but I don’t have a pack. Everyone I ever loved were killed by hunters. I’m the only survivor of the fire that killed my family. It wasn’t an accident, though. The hunters set it,” he offered and shared with her.
“I’m sorry you had to go through that, but I learned centuries ago that pain makes you strong. I lost my family, too. The Original werewolf-vampire hybrid needed a doppelganger to break the spell his mother set upon him 1,000 years ago. When I found out, I ran like hell and turned into a vampire by accident. I didn’t know that killing myself with vampire blood in my system would put me in transition. I didn’t know how vengeful he could be, though. When I went home to give my father what he deserved, I found my village, including my family, slaughtered. I hated my father for taking my daughter from me. Even when I searched for her, I couldn’t find her. I don’t know what happened to her. I can see we’re a lot alike,” she replied and informed him.
“That we are,” he agreed. He felt sorry for what she’d been through. He felt the sudden need to protect her, as if they were kindred spirits, meant to be together.
After she agreed to stay with him and let him protect her, they looked at each other for a while. Then he got her checked out of the hospital and he then took her home with him.
Ch.2: The Alpha
The next day, she got settled into the old burned Hale house. She was a little surprised that he’d stayed where such a tragic incident had happened, but she understood that it must hold so many memories for him. She understood that it was his family home.
That night, she was in the woods, seeing if she could track the alpha. She’d promised to help Derek, so they were looking in separate directions of the woods. He thought splitting up would be best.
Suddenly, she stopped, feeling like she was being watched.
A few moments later, she saw it. Then it lunged at her. Then she was looking at the face of the alpha wolf.
It bent its head towards her. She knew it wanted to hurt her just like the others. The others hadn’t survived its attack, though. She wasn’t going to let it hurt or kill her. She was determined to survive. To her, this alpha was just like any werewolf she’d ever encountered as a vampire. She wouldn’t let it win. That was for certain. Especially, when she was still Katherine Pierce, human or not. Plus, she knew that she had a werewolf as protection.
She put hands on its chest to try and keep its attack at bay. It was the only thing she could do to save herself until Derek found out that she needed help. As she tried to keep it at bay though, it kept pushing forward, towards her, and she could feel its claws sink into her skin. Even though it hurt, she didn’t show it, since she never let anyone know she was hurt. She never liked showing weakness.
After a while of not finding the alpha, Derek went in search of Katherine. When he did, he smelled blood. As he followed the scent, he hoped Katherine wasn’t who he was smelling. He never wanted anything to happen to her.
When he arrived, he saw the alpha as well as an injured Katherine. That angered him, so he made himself known and let his claws and wolf face appear. Then he roared, getting the alpha’s attention.
As she lay there, she felt the weight of the alpha lift from her and then blurrily saw the alpha approach Derek. She knew he was there to protect her and help her. She was very thankful for that, and that was all that she cared about. She hoped the alpha got what it deserved.
Forty minutes later, Derek had succeeded in killing the alpha. When he killed it, he took his power, becoming the alpha. Because of this, his werewolf eyes had changed color.
After he’d killed the alpha and had become the new alpha, he rushed over to where an injured Katherine lay.
He knelt by her and could see that, despite her injuries, she was still alive.
When she saw him at her side, she knew without question that the alpha had gotten what he’d deserved. She was happy about that. She knew that she was in bad shape, though. She knew she’d lost a lot of blood, since everything was starting to go black. Her injuries didn’t even hurt anymore.
“Stay with me. You’re going to be okay,” he assured her, pulling her gently into his arms and getting to his feet.
Several hours later, she woke up in the Hale house, her injuries tended to. She assumed he’d taken her home after probably taking her to the hospital.
“Hey,” Derek greeted, seated on her bedside, having been waiting for her to awaken. “Feeling better?”
She looked at him.
“Yeah. Thanks.”
“Well, I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you,” he confessed.
“You might not have noticed, but it goes both ways,” she confessed to him.
She gave a smile and sat up in bed.
After a few moments of looking at each other, they began to kiss.624Please respect copyright.PENANAosbbJmsWlT
Ch.3: The Kanama
Katherine and Derek were in town, digging up information about the kanama that had recently been spotted at a house. It was a house that Isaac had been living at with his father. Scott had gone there with Allison so she could chain him inside a cooler. During Scott’s phasing, Allison had seen something reptilian. Derek had known of the kanama’s legend and knew what it was. There wasn’t much known about it, though.
That night, after searching for the kanama, they came face to face with it at the high school indoor pool.
The kanama lunged for Katherine, but Derek went between them. Within a few minutes, the kanama had scratched him on the neck. Because its scratch and saliva paralyzed anyone, Derek fell paralyzed, landing by the pool and falling off the ledge, into the water.
Katherine stood face to face with it, debating on what to do. She wasn’t sure how to get rid of it, but she knew she had to try something. There was only a certain amount of time that he could survive under water
She kept an eye on the kanama, as she went over to a mirror in the corner. They knew that it didn’t have an identity.
The kanama crept towards her and was about to lunge at her, when she put the mirror between them. For a few minutes, it looked at itself in the mirror. Then it backed off and fled out of the room completely.
When it had gone, she dove into the water for Derek. Then, once she spotted him, she swam towards him and put an arm around his waist, pulling him and herself to the surface of the water.
She swam towards the side of the pool and got them both out. Then she gently layed him down on the floor.
She looked down at him and realized he wasn’t breathing, so she started doing heart compressions. She knew how to, since her mother had been a nurse in the 1400’s.
After ten minutes, he coughed up the water, so she stopped.
She rested a hand on the side of his face and he looked at her.
“Where is it?” he asked her.
“I scared it off,” she answered him.
Although he knew she’d once been a vampire, it kind of surprised him that she’d made it flee.
“Let’s get out of here,” she added. “Can you move yet?”
“No. Not yet,” he answered her.
With that answer, she knew she’d have to get them both out of there. So, that’s exactly what she did.
An hour later, she had him in bed at home.
While he rested, she left to go track down the kanama and take it down once and for all. She knew she couldn’t waste time. It could find someone else more vulnerable. She didn’t care who the kanama was as a person. This thing was like an uncontrollable animal. She wasn’t going to let it hurt anyone else. It was a threat and she’d always excelled at taking down threats. After all, she was Katherine Pierce.
After taking out the creature, she went back home where Derek was.
After they went through many things together, she made up her mind to stay in town. So, without further ado, their love story continued.
