Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd6zHYJ7Nq
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X4tnQzSwt
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKcbc8shfQ
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpumkBmJfKc
"Yes," she answered.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiJ4fmPFvO
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDlZ72xGGB
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MCejjziho
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITfWX1BYDE
Come in, Elena thought back.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dCxT2Dnac
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuOGBy9a3w
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqAT9IaZZe
With his free hand, he held a knife.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDb7Wetnw1
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Fx4fgP2X
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoa7hirFzj
"Katherine," Kol greeted.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMicMA3Ijf
"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."623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosp75bjvdo
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4oThDCzvR
"Because I just saved you."623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnVWY5myhw
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9UDXngEb7
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhdUZt3CHv
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ226Mtddili
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQljMxpKDRa
"You're welcome," she said.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4yWoRomAR
"I'm going out," he replied.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer7WiVJCEu
She watched him leave.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2GgUkiVXq
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpEoMyy3CT
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBktz52Oz3
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEexez2jDq
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriY06NXEey
"Thank you," Katherine said.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww1dqxaimZ
"You're welcome."623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPHHWDy4Qi
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP7wdW10aP
"Thanks," Elena said.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B2ScLPrLT
"You're welcome, Elena."623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKmcfUtTx0
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
