Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPZaFbHCwd
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA4kOPs6Jp
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMO1KKRiaX
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8eTXKR2AH
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk8dhFPg0c
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1z2NjJHLE
"I was bitten by the hybrids he sent after me. I need your help. I need his blood; the cure. Please, Rebekah," she said, almost begging the Original sister.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekEg0DBezB
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs99YT8DybN
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJmmQFjsjc
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRzHnl78hz
"Drink."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z83sVsBnS
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrapAMLDmd
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QoxC1Tlxa
"Thank you."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5QvN2z30w
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNct5caqu3e
"You won't. I promise."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfkgywYTMM
"Good."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDQA72aRZL
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzbYOxg2QN
"A lot; Alaric was turned by mother and alerted the council. They want us all dead I guess. But Alaric is dead now, Stefan is trying to get back to his old habits, and I killed Elena and almost Matt. I wanted Alaric dead and Elena was tied to him. I thought Alaric killed my brother. Now Elena's a vampire. Apparently, she had Damon's blood in her system. And I didn't know that."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8wFUxOmXP
"Wow. I missed a lot," is all she could say to that. Since Rebekah hadn't known, she couldn't be mad at her for Elena turning into a vampire.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUXyPVW0xp
Suddenly, arrows started flying.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsNgtt3DAj
"Get the blood and vervain! Just in case! Then we have to go!" Katherine yelled and grabbed the blood, putt it in a bag. Rebekah obeyed and did the same with the vervain, putting it in the same bag.
They made it outside the Mystic Grille, before everything started to unfocus for Katherine, and Rebekah grew pale and weak. Rebekah had taken an arrow in the middle of her chest, while Katherine had taken an arrow in the leg.
Rebekah slid down the wall to sit down, while Katherine set the bag down and knelt beside her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnEMNUz7H5
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32TLn5ageS
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBzwogPhfN
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7sq6oMhOs
"It's us," Kat answered him.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tURF1YGnW
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R4Q9onMHJ
"She saved my life. Then we had to leave. We got shot with arrows; me in the leg and Rebekah in the chest. But we're both still alive. We're right outside the Mystic Grille. We need help, Damon. Something was on them. You should try and keep her awake, while I go see if anyone's in there."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKq8Or566Z
"Will do," he replied to his sire.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT4cVIuGiW
She got to her feet and used the wall to hold herself up, as she staggered towards the door and opened it enough so they only saw one hand, her upper body, and unhurt leg. Then she leaned on the door and scanned the crowd within, stopping when she saw Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDZXUM1LAl
Caroline saw Katherine.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahUBmDRRrv
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHjIXpz2YG
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTDOKFiXtQ
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsI2D9BEe6
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1LWijrwaI
"Let's go," Tyler said.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZH6MIbPr9
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi7PAmVhJE
They stopped by Rebekah.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR7isVgzpu
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58yJ3b3QvY
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErysVN97o5
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsuVYoCy2C
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomPmPcHxkm
"Katherine, hang in there. Damon's coming," Tyler instructed the Petrova vampiress, unsure of what to do or what else to say.
Damon hung up soon after.
Not long afterward, Damon arrived. He instantly went to stand in front of Katherine.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NAwc3QA5t
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXe0LWvBxP
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE779NdFbEz
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomq7p7fcUW
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlpW9ZuhoQ
He caught her, as she lost her balance, unable to stand. And as he picked her up, he realized how weak she was. He felt her rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his neck.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJx1VDk8Q5
"Stay awake, Kat," he instructed, as he sped towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Once inside, Damon gently sat her in Elena's recliner, while Tyler carried Rebekah upstairs to the guest room, which was formerly Ric's room, and before that, Elena's Aunt Jenna's room. Tyler and Caroline stayed with Rebekah, while Damon stayed in the living room with his sire. Elena stood by and watched.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v7YytJV3n
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGyaCDabVm
"Kat, stay with me."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE5REOIhQQ
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzfqoS4npX
"The Council shot them with arrows. Something's on them. We need Meredith over here. She might know what's on them and how to cure them. And you need to call Klaus. He'll want to know about his sister."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LKo4nQJOl
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSOoq9OgU2
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1hv8CT305
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7lWj8vwnM
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb67TTWwLGr
"Let me try then," Klaus said. "Katerina, you have to stay awake. Think of your family. If you die now, you would've been fighting for nothing. You would've survived this long for nothing. You've been fighting for 500 years, Katerina. Don't give up now. You can't. We won't let you die," he told his former doppelganger, meaning it all. He had trust and faith in her now. And he cared about her. He then added to Elena, "I'm coming over to help. You'll have to invite me in. After this is all over though, you can uninvited me." He then hung up.
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABPz7Ub5EI
Half an hour later, he arrived and Elena invited him in. He walked into the living room and Damon stepped away, watching as he knelt in front of her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaSpzDuQvn
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEe0q9v4DA
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1wBFOVNJj
"Klaus," she said back.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKqfplH2t6
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDWwWUfJXb
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZBrRyxTfC
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzihim07cm3
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxTOcQXoqY
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZCulsSEU5
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIzce4rFE3
So they did and both got better.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G6AN7uDDS
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitPaMh5jBK
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspy8NeGdEl
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfwXmmpfmh
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSVwoWp7qi
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I know how it feels. It's different for everyone, but I want to help you. You're my family, Elena. I may not show it, but I care. I really do care."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN0ygA8y4i
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYiwOTjA6g
"I'm sorry, Elena. I would've been here if I didn't have hybrids on my tail. But I'm here to stay now. I'll help you in any way I can."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn40Y58aPmz
"You want the truth, Katherine? I'm tired. All I try to do is fight and do the right thing. But Damon said I have to drink from the vein. I don't want to and it's killing me, trying to not drink from the vein. He told me I can't drink animal blood and I can't. He said I could only drink from the vein and that's all I can do. I can't even keep Damon's blood down. What am I going to do?"629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7CcnsZqFQ
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgZpuV9kKG
"Yeah. Why?"629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9FYVd3oS8
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx4MsmCeHC
"It can't be," Kat whispered.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuXTiFxxom
"What?"629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9NbeeQQND
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVreiZHwG3R
"But what?"629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLcxKIldL3
"You're sired to Damon."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimGuCL3IHB
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbo9FyFhRu
"I don't know, but it happens once in a while. It can be broken. We just have to convince him to free you from the sire bond."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg7RJ3z9lx
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
