Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNjGB9D3nE
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WLVDlyy7b
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AVHon3vdg
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcLrnPYsGu
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQuNtcFP9h
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeg9s9goy8
"I was bitten by the hybrids he sent after me. I need your help. I need his blood; the cure. Please, Rebekah," she said, almost begging the Original sister.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq75YqmnhS
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p5LiGBmN6
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoaZSzoUpr
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlTMFsBTTN
"Drink."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl6wVIMqaS
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBwy2psT3w
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GELKnkZQx
"Thank you."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM7V99GxzS
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwwPDSjNLm
"You won't. I promise."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQqUs2NGZy
"Good."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhrB4TH5mX
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAcmfRUq8I
"A lot; Alaric was turned by mother and alerted the council. They want us all dead I guess. But Alaric is dead now, Stefan is trying to get back to his old habits, and I killed Elena and almost Matt. I wanted Alaric dead and Elena was tied to him. I thought Alaric killed my brother. Now Elena's a vampire. Apparently, she had Damon's blood in her system. And I didn't know that."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtyeMffOfW
"Wow. I missed a lot," is all she could say to that. Since Rebekah hadn't known, she couldn't be mad at her for Elena turning into a vampire.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEITjMsGWis
Suddenly, arrows started flying.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52JQwuutze
"Get the blood and vervain! Just in case! Then we have to go!" Katherine yelled and grabbed the blood, putt it in a bag. Rebekah obeyed and did the same with the vervain, putting it in the same bag.
They made it outside the Mystic Grille, before everything started to unfocus for Katherine, and Rebekah grew pale and weak. Rebekah had taken an arrow in the middle of her chest, while Katherine had taken an arrow in the leg.
Rebekah slid down the wall to sit down, while Katherine set the bag down and knelt beside her.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIl1DtvzQ1
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1qaNnLI3h
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaHnJphgea
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx29wvzvNr
"It's us," Kat answered him.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqAI5PIs5c
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHOBjE7llF
"She saved my life. Then we had to leave. We got shot with arrows; me in the leg and Rebekah in the chest. But we're both still alive. We're right outside the Mystic Grille. We need help, Damon. Something was on them. You should try and keep her awake, while I go see if anyone's in there."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaJmjzP6A1
"Will do," he replied to his sire.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafyj8lyQIX
She got to her feet and used the wall to hold herself up, as she staggered towards the door and opened it enough so they only saw one hand, her upper body, and unhurt leg. Then she leaned on the door and scanned the crowd within, stopping when she saw Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl6ICj7ExO
Caroline saw Katherine.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZlAo133re
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5veaz2apH
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln4UXAsYdb
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0wG1oQMqk
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSGFoLacW7
"Let's go," Tyler said.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80jr75XrMU
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaJr7KH9AD
They stopped by Rebekah.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JnFXlL98h
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcTQSVZUCM
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbIm6K64Df
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJwC4yqmAw
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmrrKdxjC1
"Katherine, hang in there. Damon's coming," Tyler instructed the Petrova vampiress, unsure of what to do or what else to say.
Damon hung up soon after.
Not long afterward, Damon arrived. He instantly went to stand in front of Katherine.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYhSV35LaW
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TOuGYE0I2
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAZqEmXeq5
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkQhB6QB0C
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYLq8hfKak
He caught her, as she lost her balance, unable to stand. And as he picked her up, he realized how weak she was. He felt her rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his neck.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xhMjrOd63
"Stay awake, Kat," he instructed, as he sped towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Once inside, Damon gently sat her in Elena's recliner, while Tyler carried Rebekah upstairs to the guest room, which was formerly Ric's room, and before that, Elena's Aunt Jenna's room. Tyler and Caroline stayed with Rebekah, while Damon stayed in the living room with his sire. Elena stood by and watched.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7iJdfPHKw
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiscuwvtCV
"Kat, stay with me."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweP1xJ1CWZ
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQZGJYNcad
"The Council shot them with arrows. Something's on them. We need Meredith over here. She might know what's on them and how to cure them. And you need to call Klaus. He'll want to know about his sister."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbst2zcmpY
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocOJAqGpNX
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsG49aVFwr
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJHnCwgteG
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1blV0PGm4h
"Let me try then," Klaus said. "Katerina, you have to stay awake. Think of your family. If you die now, you would've been fighting for nothing. You would've survived this long for nothing. You've been fighting for 500 years, Katerina. Don't give up now. You can't. We won't let you die," he told his former doppelganger, meaning it all. He had trust and faith in her now. And he cared about her. He then added to Elena, "I'm coming over to help. You'll have to invite me in. After this is all over though, you can uninvited me." He then hung up.
597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5u6wPNfYB
Half an hour later, he arrived and Elena invited him in. He walked into the living room and Damon stepped away, watching as he knelt in front of her.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9j94rv3yX
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X7tNbX14Q
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DyKVYagud
"Klaus," she said back.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxkspIVh6B
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4PsPZUbep
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx2JkTIzzZ
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Njfw14t9b
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1YE4DYzOQ
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBDmPqO2bz
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA8NJ00sAg
So they did and both got better.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhuv7dxdxH
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVb65Qg093
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1C50omMy2
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFn0KAhDY7
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizv8PkC9Yt
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I know how it feels. It's different for everyone, but I want to help you. You're my family, Elena. I may not show it, but I care. I really do care."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4GSCDQPDi
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEmur8v8mk
"I'm sorry, Elena. I would've been here if I didn't have hybrids on my tail. But I'm here to stay now. I'll help you in any way I can."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpVRQiXxVO
"You want the truth, Katherine? I'm tired. All I try to do is fight and do the right thing. But Damon said I have to drink from the vein. I don't want to and it's killing me, trying to not drink from the vein. He told me I can't drink animal blood and I can't. He said I could only drink from the vein and that's all I can do. I can't even keep Damon's blood down. What am I going to do?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJcpNN1DGH
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcG5xg9O5w
"Yeah. Why?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMfGAYHjaf
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa28YQ98j3t
"It can't be," Kat whispered.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjRUkxqjT6
"What?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkr5k7j8eM
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhsP1lAjOE
"But what?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsshYab8EP
"You're sired to Damon."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxT69PskMc
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmVKPVhA0S
"I don't know, but it happens once in a while. It can be broken. We just have to convince him to free you from the sire bond."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABmtY4q6Qv
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
