Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTJLoARbRX
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR4X4cAMXu
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0XodsfZNa
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLdjPFef5O
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtQ7DGMUb2
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn5gLQiSVk
"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.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt8Icc8fhP
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT04bmVIwsK
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPp8zcsDWv
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhudkvuWV2
"Drink."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWqenf0ufP
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KcxW1jgvu
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlh2O2nyRK
"Thank you."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zUqLhOmPt
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCXIPzJhJZ
"You won't. I promise."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuc7g6UqXM
"Good."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy60xh9YIu8
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f3jKDi14N
"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."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaitjDrFmtc
"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.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMdgGbkxkV
Suddenly, arrows started flying.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kf1qCpTwc
"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.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb0aQIRLMK
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLIlwkODJx
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLxcrBwSWN
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtxlXZjCyw
"It's us," Kat answered him.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMqwTPYQY4
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSezSXVwNS
"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."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLIuxpGpWG
"Will do," he replied to his sire.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1KugxLqEA
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.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZD1Dpg9r0
Caroline saw Katherine.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNipXHtbW2P
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDENZsha8hp
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mzyVWvaUL
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQCMg5qCSc
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkGFVSnrld
"Let's go," Tyler said.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDDSQxsxH3
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGb9NgslX8
They stopped by Rebekah.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASoF0kBHCJ
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByZDpHNdoF
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqDdfftTmA
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUPLSPrA7C
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqLijB01k0
"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.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriU0tjP8mo
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyY0FjcRtL
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NXraYeyd4
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs1LYHZ33y
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9TYnCgZtd
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.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOGZECEr8y
"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.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a7Kyh3gxR
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEUpzKxCNv
"Kat, stay with me."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhVkyFfsi0
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURFxYhTrUJ
"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."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXmeQBjyRK
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp3JVmkSOq
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBsydurQ9N
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK2B8yMmEQ
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFDpu7jz2i
"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.
596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsNyK9m660
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.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCtzYiVhwR
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wpbqkwIed
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcp74Z3ZSG
"Klaus," she said back.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfBDlv1Tdt
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG287LeGWQe
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AlUkQ5gxi
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55e6hTlaNt
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYuq2LjBKh
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5qSOfdhOj
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKWeGDErLk
So they did and both got better.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCsZJK2Cus
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyWh4NuGoQ
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yvCNvF0gx
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSJAkGUYa1
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluWEGliBex
"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."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3XRgkqUGX
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfNFjsIEAW
"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."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3uouXFMKA
"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?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28YiadQtTR
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh8lFxqgW0
"Yeah. Why?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GWZMkwTeB
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WO7vJhiO3
"It can't be," Kat whispered.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXEQ23iZLd
"What?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILUbQ9Mezu
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2fWJofSFb
"But what?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CgeHBc73C
"You're sired to Damon."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqtOy1RVq4
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTdvLR7g9j
"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."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfD5jxo5BG
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
