Katherine Pierce

I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr1wOMUPXE
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6c02RhBUu
I toss the empty blood bag onto the floor and look him over, remembering Klaus saying he's unclean. And that's when I see it. The werewolf bite.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cqbLG3DL7
"No," I say. "No. Damon."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4NqIg7U5l
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEIwpWo2he
"Elena, it's me. We have a problem. Did Damon tell you if he was bitten by a werewolf or not? He has a werewolf bite on his arm. And I can't get him up. Can you come over?" I say, before she can say anything.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ekJOR3An
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi3NYS8VWv
She hangs up and I put his phone back.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OnmMU9Jqr
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXC39U8ovQ
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9eHWZlPWw
I wait.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmEvewskeA
Nothing.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF7nEAHgvq
I take his hand in mine.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmZ8gpy7t0
I can't lose you, Damon. Please wake up, I think to him.
Elena soon arrives and kneels down on the left side of him. The opposite side I'm on.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KTMISXXIT
"We need to get him home," I inform her.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGbQTdLLSd
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyklwOvSla2
"I don't know. Klaus must've taken it. And we don't have time to waste. We'll have to manage. Even if I burn alive helping him. It's worth it. I owe him one and he's my family. Family is everything to me."
By the time we get him in bed, I'm burnt terribly. I lean against the wall by his bedroom door, back against the wall, my vision blurry, my focus going in and out, as I watch Elena standing at his bedside with a wet wash cloth.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaMYSq5zij
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmnozJTlMD
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1267GdzI91
"Katherine," she says.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYxowEkgqe
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrSzZJZeDp
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULfPvkMjle
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJnOJElIxA
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIx4Txw0vt
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZej3KpCSy
"I don't know."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGOh1azdhP
Alaric Saltzman walks in.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzyqyF6ucY
"How's Damon doing?"539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYph3NpTrm
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIQ8zopbB9
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMT1z9LEvb
I feel myself slide down the wall, as weakness starts to come.

I go to Katherine Pierce and catch her, as she starts to slide down the wall. I see she's weak, burnt badly, and fighting to stay awake. But how much longer can she fight? Even a vampire has to give up someday. And Katherine's been fighting constantly for 500 years. I have to try and help her, though. For Elena's sake.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j5qdTUrYU
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4MpgrzuxO
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY3Zy7HyPo
"I'm going home," I tell Elena, before leaving with Katherine.
Not long afterward, I enter my apartment, closing the door behind myself. I then set her on her feet. I came here so Elena wouldn't know what's going to happen. I should probably kill Katherine now. Put her out of her misery with a stake through her heart. But for some reason, I can't find the will to do that to her.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWlynJCb9P
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmEN5ELFnJ
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hB8243Rst
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LDsABCjnZ
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZX4pwXQg6
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYDzzTlf24
I gently lay her down on the floor and take my jacket off. I use my jacket to put under her head and see her skin start turning purple.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWR25cG0Kz
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW49NgRSYz5
I check to see if she's breathing. Obviously, she's not. So, even though she's a vampire, I give her some breath before pulling her into my arms gently. She's breathing again, which is a good sign. I use a knife to cut my wrist, and I gently position her head back, putting my wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to I'm feeling better. I look down at my arm and my bite mark is gone. That means I've been cured.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrtRdSh0VZ
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisNKHCJyt2
"Thanks," I say.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Wp3XX8ut
"You should think, Katherine too. She was nearly burnt alive getting you here. Ric's at home helping her. She told me the cure before she nearly blacked out on us," she explains.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG12gRvSJz
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIr296uHx9
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1Iz3davqT
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cGJJhDL2s
I stand by my drinking table and pour myself a shot glass of liquor, slowly sipping it.

I feel the familiar liquid once I awaken, and start drinking. But once I have my strength back, my senses come alert. I can hear someone's heart beating and hear breathing. And the blood is warm…so warm and fresh. And then I smell Alaric's scent. Everything comes flooding back and I realize I'm drinking from Alaric. He gave me his blood to save my life. He probably did it for Elena.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinbzTsf77p
I stop drinking and open my eyes.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe68gQaByr
I look up at him and know I nearly died. And that means I took a lot. He's very pale. I nearly killed Elena's guardian.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPS1kBPZvz
I get to my feet, as does he.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgojUNuXLMM
"Thanks," I say.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rluXGGPyZ
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRJjerNlhD
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwzcdRQ4Gu
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzNx7uIJuD
"You need blood, Alaric."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDPAbYDuEK
"No," he argues.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdQdeg4dVJ
"Alaric, you're going to die."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dEK9hCbZS
"Then I'll die."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3gE7nS0WM
I hear his heart and breathing slow.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5zDo6x0Sx
"I don't want you to."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKDk8bzLzT
I look at his hand and his ring is off.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4v8Fj6pgh
No, I think to myself.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIINdki5bq
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNHFKc2yvI
At vamp speed, I'm instantly kneeling at his side. He's still breathing. Barely. This is all my fault. I've been so stupid today.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaoih7GRru
I bite my wrist and put it to his lips, making my blood go down his throat to heal him. I listen, as it helps him get stronger, and watch as his color comes back to his skin. I know he didn't want this, but I'd rather him be angry at me, than for him to die.

I come to to see myself on myself on my back on my floor. Katherine is knelt at my side.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDeuXDEtIm
I sit up.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzhsNtDl1y
"Thank you."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3yYRWTZKp
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLC6QncwMc
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkopEPzdLvM
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd5QlGgRfz
She helps me to my feet.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhBmqxygqb
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
