It was a beautiful day, as Katherine Pierce walked into her residential home. And that's when she sensed someone else. She was standing by the threshold to the living room, when she turned around.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXbIljF8Sv
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMhZBYyRCb
"James," she said in shock. And then, as a scent wafted over her and she heard Damon yell, "Katherine!", she was barely able to say, "Come in," inviting him inside.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbet7nClLHe
As Damon through James away from her, she staggered back once before losing her balance. And then, as she lay on her back, she knew the dagger had vervain on it.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O5gIPSdLw
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOZ4M8TItl
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fu1MZJKgW
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92MX5jmGE6
"How are you feeling?" he asked.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJHmKFEYkM
"Like I just got vervained."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JukrmeLBA
He saw that she didn't look good.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwregj0n34D
"Katherine, look at me."632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Rmt2GwEH
She tried to do as he said.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqpocVrmvE
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7vBiNyLr1
"Damon," she said.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iXJMyTdo0
As she collapsed, he caught her from hitting the floor with a hand between her shoulder blades, an arm holding her up. Then he left the house to go home with her in his arms, knowing she would be okay once the vervain was out of her system. Blood would help, but not his. It would give her more vervain, since he mixed a little of vervain with alcohol every day and night. She needed someone else's. Maybe Elena would be willing.
Later, she awoke after Elena had given her some of her blood. Katherine could see that she was on the couch at the boarding house with Elena and Damon by the couch with worried faces.632Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhbW2bShs9
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
