Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgJZQbC7xW
It was a dark night, as Kohl chased after Elena and Jeremy in their lake house. He headed up the stairs towards the Gilberts and headed for Jeremy. Elena got in his way and Jeremy fell down the stairs.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChbg7C6nud
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFkbDtcj8k
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP07mwBfgIY
"Yes," she answered.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ660tvkxJ0W
He tried to get past her, but she didn't let him. He grabbed her and pinned her against a wall, before he broke a piece of wood off the railing and stabbed her with it.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHhKlcRayF
As she slid down the wall, she watched as he knelt beside her only brother. Then she saw Jeremy and Kol start fighting, before they disappeared from her sight. Then she saw Katherine at the door.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qrrF56Fjb
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBzaoFLXJ2
Come in, Elena thought back.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgjVzoRZgy
Katherine walked in and vanished to help Jeremy. She wanted to kill Kol but knew he needed to stay alive until Klaus came. He'd deal with Kol on his own terms.
Kol grabbed him and pinned him against the side of the bar.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOswfJ6i1F
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00HfXjq08t
With his free hand, he held a knife.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Y7Qq294j
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBK4mqmrlR
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFUsuNlhRj
"Katherine," Kol greeted.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe9VUSKshp
"Kol, it's been a while. Jeremy, are you okay? Kol, I'd like to kill you for hurting the last of my family and Elena's family, but I won't. I'll leave you for Klaus to deal with."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UF5WLygH0
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59pR67Ix5S
"Because I just saved you."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSmbywVsgT
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmpwSeqX8Q
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0SCMfY735
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Osb1SJ7E
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZxsv24mzy
"You're welcome," she said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6OYb0qTgk
"I'm going out," he replied.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtvD0LniDL
She watched him leave.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih1jolAGNS
As her strength began to ebb away, she knew she didn't have much time left. She let go of the bar and slid down it. She was dying from the hybrid bites. She had come here for help, because she needed the cure.
Elena entered the kitchen after healing, only to see that Katherine was the only one there. She could easily see that she was hurt and losing consciousness. She could smell blood, too.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJGjYYqkSd
Elena knelt in front of her and saw how pale she looked. She saw that she was sweating. That's when she knew that she had been bitten and needed the cure.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1fxk0ASE0
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoZoWxSV36
As Elena slid her hand under her to rest between her shoulder blades, and gently pulled her towards her, Katherine blacked out. She gently pulled the unconscious vampiress into her arms, and slid her free arm under her legs. Then, with vampire strength, Elena picked her up and headed for the door.
Once Katherine was in Damon's bed at the Salvatore boarding house, Elena got the cure from the cooler in the basement. She then made it go down her throat, until it was finished.
When Katherine woke up, she felt better. She saw that Elena was seated on her bedside.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM2dKuSvW2
"Thank you," Katherine said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu70BqXPhHI
"You're welcome."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXJmmDnMAO
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbgibs7EiZ
"Thanks," Elena said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIHRleHOn0
"You're welcome, Elena."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkmO1SIBeD
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
