It was late afternoon, as Katherine Pierce tried to get to where she was now staying at; her apartment. She was worn out, though. She had gotten herself attacked; shot. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She only knew that she wasn't healing and she was weak. She didn't want to be seen like this, so she wanted to try and get inside her apartment.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbskMF19p0x
Suddenly, she felt weaker and then felt the ground. She then sat against a vehicle, as her vision started to fade away.
When Elena smelled her scent, she followed it. It was an almost faint scent, though.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiw6fu7DY1
When she saw her sitting against a white Minivan, she started forward, unsure if she was playing one of her games or not. Her head was down, but she could see her eyes were closed. She could smell a small scent of blood, too.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4gpn9eReY
Suddenly, Damon Salvatore was at her side and grabbed her arm.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1vJBjN5LJ
"Elena, go. Find Rebekah. We're leaving."633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpBOnhKSy7
He watched her vanish, before rushing to Kat's side at vamp speed.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RoEPGHLcV
He knelt in front of her.
"Katherine?" he called.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jw9xxzkPd
She groaned.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxTKzaHjd1
He scanned her with his eyes and saw that she was hurt. Her wounds were bleeding a little and she wasn't healing. He knew from the sire bond that she was dying.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLmAvZSYCe
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet with her in his arms.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJqpBZp2nw
"You'll be okay, Katherine," he promised. "Just stay with me."
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjVifKWsST
At vamp speed, he was by his car he had parked not far away. He then opened the passenger's door and gently sat her in the passenger's seat, before closing the door and going around the other side to get in the driver's seat.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZkjydeKYU
Once inside, he looked over at his sire.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2NMeAmeSx
"Hang in there, Kat," he said, using his old nickname for her.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfDeNCCG3H
A moment later, Elena and Rebekah got in the back seat and closed their doors.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWmlzDMskW
"Why are we saving Katherine?" Rebekah asked, as Damon drove as fast as he could back to Mystic Falls.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdwAeQ0IrO
"One, she's the only one that knows where the cure is. Two, we need her for more than one reason."633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIOJV2r1ir
"You make it sound like she's older and knows more than I do."633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcGu8tsgRh
"Technically, she knows more than you," he answered Rebekah.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLqdN6rvjD
Elena was silent.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYGuFkixtm
There was another reason Damon was saving her, but he wasn't going to tell either of the vampiressess. He knew they wouldn't like it. The last reason he was saving her was because he cared about her. He didn't want to watch his sire die.
Once at home, Elena followed Damon inside the boarding house. She then stopped in the living room and watched him lay Katherine gently down on the couch.
When Katherine awoke, she was in the living room on the couch, Damon by the couch, Elena standing by the fireplace.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSrFqPx3lG
"Katherine," he greeted.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpVbENGg5I
"Damon," she greeted back.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcDKmeFyOv
They smiled at one another.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjBHYcOuOm
She sat up, feeling like herself again.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZz4NT5bAJ
"Thanks," she said to him.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Eeaq22Zr
"You're welcome," he replied.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KC1hq7OOl
He helped her to her feet.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmeaBcgirb
Katherine and Damon looked at one another.
