Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDcAOuDWg8
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ApPNpL3V
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaP3ctAKaC
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9L0nxuVfY
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sFmklqV6G
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKLOOAtAIS
"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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEnihHf8Zf
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODDj10cget
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcNQH17v0U
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMFSbQAbB7
"Drink."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnySshD9Qs
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ph8gTGXb6
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVezUMZDZa
"Thank you."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UGNQ9L8gB
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhL1ne9914
"You won't. I promise."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR0lhy13Me
"Good."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xOWqjbb78
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lq9mPcPh0
"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."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkWvYOv0LA
"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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajaNJVdqYM
Suddenly, arrows started flying.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4OXw3W5FL
"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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwWVgYF7sJ
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOnwlgQ7RZ
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvsovp98Cs
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm85YPrH1ma
"It's us," Kat answered him.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLz2fZ7wI8
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKenhrRt27
"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."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaM2DtNK85
"Will do," he replied to his sire.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJzZhitz9I
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8qqlaQtn5
Caroline saw Katherine.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uqz6BrwMA
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM5yPr5I94
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy45Ms3Qbih
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLmTmK49ro
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXjc8bbGnx
"Let's go," Tyler said.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm9dMl7gdU
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOi9t0NtC0
They stopped by Rebekah.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcWRKqCBtN
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lUjrMu55K
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKl5weQpir
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrpje5T7be
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHLsFvitpq
"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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU5cELKXu3
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT4tQuAXMj
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsknGpt60mj
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HtHVKkFcD
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfuo8YOz5U
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWceuYpHZ7o
"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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywuColTjx9
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrSiL5D6pp
"Kat, stay with me."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbpE7KC2tY
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1V1W4YOgC
"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."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi696aMruw9
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DoXIoUjfY
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAOpzbF3Bu
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ACKqlxVN
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeot7MtjsGK
"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.
619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuzMl9ucdn
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.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgInjlMz356
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCQDuXnbfZ
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv12NirdkhM
"Klaus," she said back.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMVsrzi9oN
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTDADxgr3R
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUWHkTIiu2
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrDQ8R8FeT
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOKaekangw
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ykTpuvms
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65fmqNfRtb
So they did and both got better.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5NMr7XKvY
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKUse1WEGS
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOJWZy0Abn
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER7zICGWD2
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS25gjSABX
"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."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXYvULgUqj
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuawja5UQk
"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."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Iq8JHflp
"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?"619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs4hwThpiz
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepHGwK5Yhw
"Yeah. Why?"619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUIQ1XORmj
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsp4yUUjYF
"It can't be," Kat whispered.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UWcDHHMRz
"What?"619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWZ98NLjTD
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvVePrsZue
"But what?"619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkId1Nf0O9
"You're sired to Damon."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOgOGrwFoZ
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPe3ahJJgL
"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."619Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCkkfrna2o
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
