Summary: Set in 2x22 “As I Lay Dying.”
*As I Lay Dying*
Where is the moment we needed the most?
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion’s gone away
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!

It was a dismal night, as she stumbled through the festival, though at the moment, she was hallucinating. She’d been bitten the night before, so she was dying of a werewolf bite and no one knew what the cure was, so she hadn’t told anyone that she was dying, other than Damon, but she figured he hated her too much to save her, so there wasn’t any point. He had once loved her the most though.

She stood with her back against a tree, him in front of her.
“Why must you run from me?” he questioned her.
“Because I know that you will chase,” she replied with a smile.
“Then let me chase you forever.”
She made a cut by her collarbone.
“I’m not going to feed you, Damon. If you want it, take it,” she told him.
“I choose you, Katherine,” he said, and then fed from the wound.
She smiled.

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You’re faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life’s been way off line
You’re falling to pieces every time
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!
‘Cause you had a bad day
You’re takin’ one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day

After arriving back at her Bulgarian village after recently turning, she found bodies of her villagers on the ground. Fearing for her mother, she ran to the cabin, only to find her father on the wall with a sword through him and her mother on the bed with her throat torn open. She didn’t grieve for her father, but she went to where her mother lay and wept over her.

The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Will you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don’t need no carryin’ on!
You had a bad day!

It was a beautiful day, as she stood in front of her vanity, Damon behind her.
“Will you miss me while you’re off fighting for the south?” she questioned him.
“I will,” he told her.
“Then promise me that you will return quickly,” she said.
“I promise,” he replied.

You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind

It was a beautiful day, as she ran through the woods, fleeing from those that wanted to take her back to Klaus so he could sacrifice her in the ritual. Klaus needed the moonstone and her to do the ritual to become the hybrid he was destined to be, but she was fleeing and had it with her.
She tripped over a branch and fell. Though she wasn’t harmed, she stayed where she was, knowing they were close.
“Katerina!” she heard Elijah call to her. “It’s pointless to run. Klaus will find you wherever you are.”
*Present*
Ohh…holiday..
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that strong
And I’m not wrong
Yeahh
So where is the passion when you need it the most?
Ohh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
‘Cause you had a bad day!

Damon was at the festival, searching for Katherine. After a while to think of whether to save her or not, he decided to go look for her so he could get her home. He couldn’t have her wandering around town in her condition. Who knew what she would do, since she wasn’t in her right mind. He had to find the cure, but first he had to get her home.
When he finally found her, she was in the woods, weak, a hand on a tree to stay on her feet.
Damon was instantly in front of her.
“Damon?” she inquired, for the moment, in the present.
He put a hand on her arm to keep her on her feet.
“Let’s get you home,” he said.
He caught her from collapsing, when everything went black for her. Then he gently picked her up in his arms and blurred home.
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You’ve seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Once home, he gently layed her down on his bed and put a cool wet wash cloth on her forehead. She was warm and sweaty, so he had to do something to try and cool her down and this was the only way he knew how.
Knowing how much Elijah cared about Katherine, he called him up and informed him of the situation. Then they hung up once he told him that he’d get the cure for her.
Damon sat on her bedside. He hated her, but he knew that a part of her would always have a connection with her. A part of him didn’t want her to die. He definitely didn’t want her to die of a werewolf bite, but he couldn’t do much to help her. All he could do was watch her die.
After handing Damon the cure, Elijah left to go deal with Klaus for biting her in the first place.
Damon took the wash cloth off and put the vial to her lips, making the blood go down her throat. He knew she was just moments from death, but hopefully it wasn’t too late.
After the vial was empty, he rested a hand on the side of her face, waiting for her to awaken, seeing that she was going to be okay now.
When she began to wake up, he was relieved. He took his hand away from her face.
