It was a beautiful day, as Klaus and Katherine stood not far from where the sun streamed in through a window. Klaus wanted her to tell him the truth of what had been going on while he had been out of the house.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChzdYUTm5K
"Tell me the truth," he growled at her.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kPA7AeWtR
"I'd rather die."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2I75nr6Jd
"Then die," he said, being impatient.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFIaMqtpxV
He tied her to a wooden chair in the sun and left the house. And as she sat there tied to the chair in the sun, she screamed in pain, as she burned.
An hour and a half later, Damon Salvatore stood outside Alaric's apartment and knocked. When nobody opened it and he heard a groan from inside, he opened the door and walked inside, closing the door behind himself.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoebx5Y0nN
Upon seeing her, he raced towards and knelt in front of her. As he worked with the ropes to untie her, she was still burning. He head was down, eyes closed. He couldn't hear anything from her, which worried him.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaLcPE5gHu
Once the ropes were off her, he got to his feet and gently picked her up in his arms. He then layed her gently down in the middle of the floor, out of the sunlight. He raced to the bar where her jacket was and grabbed it, racing back. He then knelt at her side and listened for breathing.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm8XtSylxR
She was breathing, but it was so shallow and faint, he could barely hear it; even with his vampire hearing.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhPMG8K0YG
As he gently lifted her, her head went back. He pulled her into his arms and covered her skin with both her jacket and his. Then he got to his feet with her, walked out, closed the door behind himself, and raced towards the boarding house.
Once home, he closed the front door and raced to his couch. He gently layed her down on his couch and took the jackets off her. He sets hers on the recliner in front of the fireplace, and put his own back on. He positioned her head gently back, bit wrist, and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1KuxdLaqT
While he was feeding her his blood, Elena opened the door and walked in, closing it behind herself.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhsqslmBBC
"You found her," she said.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAKF1pO4Bd
"Yeah. At Ric's. That means he's in Ric's body. He nearly killed her. He must really want her dead," Damon explained.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6KQLrPPyF
Elena stood not far from the couch.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXafsmZMebt
"Will she be okay?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELeapusOqF
"She'll have to wake up for me to know," he informed the doppelganger.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHMYWU8Zvf
Elena was silent, unsure of what to say.
An hour later, Katherine awoke, coughing and gasping. Damon helped her sit up, seated on the couch by her. He rested gentle hands on either side of her head, careful of her burnt skin. He looked into her face for any signs that she might not make it.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21w6JIrPwN
"Katherine," he greeted, once she had her breath.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6KqaVxbZo
He took his hands away.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF8XOQl3f6
"Damon. Thanks. You saved my life."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG84EgLplt
"Yes. And don't make me regret it. What happened?"577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAsv1dIxwb
She explained to him what happened.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgKOxTwfvr
"I probably said the wrong thing to Klaus," she commented.577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMfykEsQ3h
"Yeah. You think?" he said sarcastically. He then added, "You nearly died."577Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKlyTQ9BKC
"Yeah, well, I can be stupid sometimes. I'll be more careful next time," she said. She added that last part when she saw his worried look.
