Summary: What if Katherine had come back in town in enough time to save Elena, and maybe Matt? Will she get there in time? Will she save them both? After making the car go off the bridge, will Rebekah have the heart to save Matt, or will she leave him to die with Elena?560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXISluZtWu
It was a dark night, as Bonnie and Damon were at a storage unit in a storage shed where Klaus was. They stood there watching him, looking down at his burnt body. Then he opened his eyes.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAtvTOfK60
"There's the crispy fried Original," Damon said.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohRaJt0lEK
"Could you give me a minute?" Bonnie asked him, looking at the easy-going vampire.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko5hsFMXSe
"Of course," he answered her.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdeNYhrdcO
He closed the door to the shed and walked off.
Vampire Alaric walked into the storage room, looking for Klaus but saw Damon. He snuck up behind him and put an arm around his throat in a tight hold.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndwisSRugT
"Where's Klaus?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAApQsWrSPn
"How'd you find where he is?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbP6wP49Zi
"Answer the question."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIC1zUaplH
"Unit three number 10210," he lied.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yPetZQKln
After getting what he needed, he tightened some more, which made him pass out. He let go and let him fall to the ground on his back. Then he walked towards unit three and started searching, opening up storage sheds as he went.
Meanwhile, Bonnie had Klaus who was still in his coffin, in the back of a car and was seated in the passenger's seat, waiting for Damon and Rebekah so they could leave. She then called up Rebekah when she didn't get a hold of Damon.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE95H5kyjz
"I'm just outside. What do you want?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo1usoDYcf
"I'm waiting for you two so we can leave," Bonnie replied.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlC41InbvO
"Go ahead. We'll meet you there," she said before hanging up.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK7o9U6LBn
She put her cell phone away before entering the building.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUphsWe0du
"Damon?" she called.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnLIRNpvvj
There was silence.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpZWP4vUXP
"This isn't funny, Damon," she added.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sXby1jjfA
A moment after she added that, she saw him passed out on the cement floor. She ran to and knelt beside him. She was wary while making sure he was okay or going to be okay. Someone else besides them was here.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGvQ2C9Qnb
"Damon?" she called to him. "Come on, Damon. Wake up."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR2eIeQRzr
She softly slapped him on the cheek.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvUAoQi1k5
He groaned and then came to, looking up at her.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJRn2qT7gH
"You're here."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQHvjrTwFB
"I've been here for the last five minutes," she answered, as he slowly sat up.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2FefM79jn
"We got to go. Ric's here. And he's intent on killing Originals first. You're in danger if he gets anywhere near you. Come on."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97g0t6hjY4
A moment later, they were running.
Bonnie was about to drive off, when Alaric arrived.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxFqy7MTzU
"Hello, Bonnie."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78c0Pr9XgY
"Alaric."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8wXh7l3QI
"Why don't you be kind and hand me Klaus."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2uk0bbXeZ
"So you can kill him? No."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAObYM80p4
"No? I thought we were friends. Come on. I have to kill him and the rest of his family so I can kill the rest of the vampire race. That is if you want. Right? To have a normal life without vampires to ruin everything?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKDUjH1kIu
"Go rot in hell," she retorted.
"I like the choice of words," Damon said, Rebekah at his side.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3T2bmJFpY
Alaric looked at him.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoES3gp3Yxn
"Glad you made it."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpB3107mGU
He opened up the back of the car and then opened up his coffin. Klaus looked up at him before he plunged the stake into his heart and they all watched Klaus burn in flames.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0bPYrf4OQ
"No!" Rebekah half yelled and half sobbed. Then, before Damon could stop her, she ran towards Alaric as Alaric closed the lid to the burning Original. She grabbed him and through him hard, acting on revenge, before Damon grabbed her.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbbGpYzifK
"Get in the car," he said.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyutH4a04F8
"No," she replied, before running off at vamp speed.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjMJ2bUMgH
"Okay. Be stubborn then," he said, and then thought to Bonnie, Go home. I'll handle Ric.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3st1LXdgV
A moment later, Bonnie drove out, heading back to Mystic Falls, her destination being her home.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcoWDlkZwJ
Damon and Alaric faced off, ready to fight.
Back at Mystic Falls, Rebekah was in the woods on the phone with Stefan.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmbYa4Qv72
"Elijah just told me everything. Oh, and Klaus is dead. Alaric killed him. Without him, I'm nothing. He deserves to die for what he did. You know the only way he'll die," she told him.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiflJMPEXsR
"Rebekah, don't do this," was all Stefan got out before she hung up on him.
It was a dark night, as Matt drove Elena in his truck, heading out of town. Elena wasn't completely okay with it, but she had talked to Stefan and she was getting ready to call Damon.
Damon thought Ric was going to fight him, but he didn't. He punched him to the ground once and then he walked away.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueiZadgq6k
Damon answered his phone.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7BdKS2Ogb
"Hello, Elena."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa7r0YWID7
"I heard. Do you feel anything?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPCdMblFvi
"Not yet. But since I might be a dead man, if you had to choose, who would it be? Who would be the one to get the good-bye?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxHPPINUqj
"I love you, Damon. But I never stopped loving Stefan. I love you both. I don't want to choose, but if I had to, I would choose you. I love you. I had my time with Stefan, but as much as I still love him, he hurt me so much. That's something I don't know if I can forgive. Not right now."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYgnFHTfPQ
Suddenly, Elena saw Rebecca standing in the middle of the road on the bridge.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5xZ2PMHz0
"Matt, watch out!" she yelled.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AsvOkYV7C
He slammed on the brakes and swerved to avoid hitting Klaus' sister. He tried to stay on the road at the same time, but didn't succeed. The truck fell off the bridge and plummeted into the ice-cold water below.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarddxpnxO4
Damon heard everything. He hung up and ran towards Mystic Falls at vamp speed.
A few minutes later, Rebekah made a life changing decision. She dove under the water towards the truck and pulled Matt out, closing the door behind her so Elena couldn't get out.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM02TWJC4C
A moment later, she was out of sight with Matt and on her way home.
Katherine had just arrived back in town and was walking down the road on her way to Elena's, when she saw what had happened with her own eyes, which never deceived her. She stopped in the middle of the bridge and took her jacket off before diving in and swimming towards the truck. She knew Elena was still in there.
When she got there, she knew she was dead, but she didn't care. She dove inside the truck, put a gentle arm around her, and swam to the surface with her.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vB3btYYtT
Just as she surfaced with her, Damon arrived on the bridge. When he saw her, he took Elena from her and got her onto the bridge. He gently layed her down and did heart compressions to try and revive her.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xM0oDwzZN
"Come on, Elena. Come on," he pleaded, knelt beside her.
Five minutes later, she coughed and then looked up at him.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqnvcq61LU
"Damon."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbAIoE0ART
"Elena."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ380vaipYw5
Suddenly, Elena realized something after he helped her to her feet and put his dry jacket around her.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNNdVvMJxU
"Katherine. Where is she?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBJJvm6lxT
Damon looked at the water.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LVpabUT3n
"She was there. I'll go find her. Get yourself home. Call Stefan if you have to," he said before jumping into the water in search of her.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU3MiifZAi
He soon spotted her leaned against a post underneath the bridge, eyes closed.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh6WWWQcxQ
"Katherine?"560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjvPrrSeCL
He swam towards her.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI2832XnZA
When he got to her, he saw a stake in her abdomen. She was bleeding out heavily and as he looked at her. She was pale with blue lips and cracked-looking skin. That's when he knew she was dying. Her last deed had been to save Elena. And she had. Now he had to save his Sire.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ykj64LUK8
"Hold on, Kat," he pleaded to her before gently picking her up and carrying her in his arms, running towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Jeremy walked into the living room when he saw Alaric.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzpuNIbNCj
"How'd you get in here?" he asked.
"Easy. I'm a ghost. I just had to tell you that I will always be with you, before I go to where I belong now. I'll be here whenever you need me. I'll always be there for you no matter what. Take care."560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke1Efy9apg
And with that, he vanished into thin air.
A few minutes after Elena walked in, Damon rushed in into the living room with a dying Kat in his arms.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jXMHd1hLZ
"Damon?" Elena questioned, as he layed his sire down on the couch and then bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, positioning Kat's head gently back, as to make his blood go down her throat.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzJCnVb53d
"Jeremy, grab a towel. Elena, pull it out," Damon ordered.
A moment later, she pulled it out and Jeremy gave his sister a towel. She immediately applied pressure to the wound with the towel to stop the bleeding.
A few minutes later, her wound healed and Kat came to.560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu5GEqIiL4
As Kat fed on Damon's blood, Elena had Jeremy put the towel in the washer. So everybody lived happily ever after.
