It was a dark night, as Katherine reached the compound, limping, vision going grey, heavily bleeding from her wounds. And once on the Mikaelson doorstep, she felt something hard beneath her, vision going black.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAhOkqbE8u

Klaus on his way out when he smell blood; human blood. And once he opened the door, he was shocked to see a very human Katerina on her back on the porch.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMFE7BiEkY
He knelt down beside her.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CbKVeWw5k
“Katerina?” he called, as he assessed her condition and wounds with his eyes.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmX8HF5sWL
“Klaus…” she murmured, barely awake.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF0xBh0II0
He pulled her gently into his arms.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG91jhAVBK
“I’m here, luv,” he assured her.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l9oK8AJDy
He got to his feet with her in his arms and hybrid-sped inside to his room.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKE2pN0E5T

By the time he had gently layed her down on her back on his bed, she had blacked out.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKu6sFUOm2
He sat on her bedside and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her after what looked to be a vampire attack, hoping it would work, knowing that she had gotten the cure shoved down her throat.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGiLU8DiiD
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and her wounds and his wrist healed.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3eDtwdLFd
He sighed in relief, glad that she would live to see another day. He had never shown it, but he had always secretly loved her and cared about her.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiS5XIZWxk
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face, looking down at her, and waited for her to awaken.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxCrw6AHpp

When she woke up, it was still dark outside and she was in Klaus’ room, who was seated on her bedside, looking down at her like he cared for her.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm3YFLZY2K
“Tell me who did that to you,” he said, before she could say anything.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaQckmykLe
“It was a vampire. That’s all I know. Why didn’t you kill me when you had the chance? I’m not worth anything to you anymore. I’m useless to you; especially, now that I’m a weak, helpless human.”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR48H1cPuo
“Is it so hard to believe that I care about what happens to you?” he questioned her.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjtO0FYSy4
“Yes.”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN2dKV4Bej
“Apart from what I did 500 years ago, why?”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wxe98oGWU
“Because like me, you’ll always be that monster,” she replied.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqJzdMSmW0
“Is that really what you think of me? A monster? I saved your life tonight. I even refrained from showing up back in Mystic Falls to see you. I kept my distance, despite your change.”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfPVTTyHTm
“If you want to help me, then do it. All I’ve had this summer is fear, loneliness, and hatred.”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvrobJ4kkN
“Then I’ll help you. Despite what you think, we are alike, you and I.”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EoNzSb8s5
She gave a smile.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWi7OIUrff
“That we are.”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M7XIw2pne
He smiled back.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm72nloEkBp
A moment later, they were kissing with him on top.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx77W0MY4S
