It was a nebulous night at the Salvatore boarding house, as human Katherine set the empty shot glass down on Damon’s drinking table.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iPafuo3u7
“You’re miserable,” Damon stated.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtYYPr7ZzY
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjkKy2oNql
“You’re a liar. Your hair’s messed up, your nails are chipped. You’re a sad, miserable human being and you want me to turn you. So, here.” He bit his wrist and offered it to her.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDXDBRU4MI
She gripped his arm, but hesitated.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BSA9I6Dl4
“Go ahead, drink up. I’ll kill you, you’ll bit the mailman, you’ll be a vampire again. Go ahead, come on,” he encouraged.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg0GJD7wfB
She let go and looked at him.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr4jLkcXU5
“I can’t, okay? No one’s ever taken the cure before. If I die, there’s a good chance I may never wake up.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ4nFN1tBL
“And that would be tragic,” he commented, not caring.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuHcRitXPD
“And deep down, in that mushy-gushy Elena-loving heart, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want me to die,” she said, standing in front of him, a hand on his chest. Then she stepped back. “I have enemies everywhere. What happens when word gets out that I’m a human? I can’t protect myself. I’m weak and I’m slow. Do you have any idea what it’s like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon. Please, just…help me,” she pleaded with him.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D0hst9vHE
He looked at her in silence, debating on what to do. She was right, because they would always have a connection. He hated that and her, but he couldn’t deny it.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp7IzDxfM1
“Fine. I’ll protect you,” he stated, not sure if it was a promise or not.

She silently watched, as he walked out of the living room. She knew why, too. She’d broken his heart so many times that he hated her. He hated what she’d done when she’d been a vampire. Now that she had humanity, she found herself wanting to apologize and to tell the truth to him, instead of lying to him. She knew that he wouldn’t believe her, though.

It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the car after having tried to run when Damon had tried handing her over to Silas. She tried to stay awake despite her injuries, but knew if she wasn’t found soon, her injuries would kill her.

About forty minutes later, he finally found his wrecked car with Katherine still inside. He could smell blood, even from a distance. He blurred to her side of the car, and saw that she was quite injured. There was a shard of glass in her thigh and side. Her wrist was cut from a few small pieces of glass by her on the seat. There was blood on either side of her head, too.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8a30dy76V
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rfY7Hoz5H
“I’m so sorry, Katherine,” he apologized, though he didn’t know if she could hear him. “Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes if you can hear me.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeKdRyus3g
He waited for a few minutes, but didn’t get anything from her.

He took his hands away and pulled out both shards of glass, and tossed them to the ground. He then gently picked her up in his arms and blurred towards the hospital. As he did, he could tell that she had and was still losing a lot of blood, not to mention the artery in her thigh had been opened by the shard of glass he’d pulled out, and she was very pale.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQJqglHzMY
This is my fault. Just hang on. Don’t die on me, he thought, knowing if he didn’t get her to the hospital soon, she was going to die.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC3ujswEkT
“Stay with me, Katherine,” he said. “Please.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bbMNdcZXD
He blurred to the hospital, hoping she’d live.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT88ntBR6i

Half an hour later, he walked into the hospital with her in his arms, which Meredith saw. Damon saw an unused bed in the hallway and gently layed her down on it.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBCXor2Bz3
Meredith came over.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLBXsn1TS7
“What happened?”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ggEJ3l2UZ
“She wrecked my car and got herself injured in the process. I’ll explain later, but this is my fault,” he summarized.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2GrESNW0R
Meredith knew he wasn’t telling her everything, but didn’t question him. Right now, all that mattered was saving Katherine’s life.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJhGvxV7NW
She put a breathing mask on her.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6GjPKM2D9
“I’ll let you know how it goes,” she told him.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVAyWibsPv

Half an hour later, he was in the waiting room, while Katherine was in surgery. He hoped that she’d be okay, but he didn’t know what extent her injuries were. He wasn’t a doctor. All he knew was how to tend to wounds.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLW9J7PiTW
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZedWAuyJD
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpooZhSRZg6
A few hours later, Meredith informed him that she’d be okay and he went to her room.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN30eNy8f3
He sat on her bedside with a gentle hand on the side of her face, looking down at her, glad that she was alive, and waited for her to wake up.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7wyyHeuBX
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nFZpd3P5a
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72GWjP3yiR
An hour later, she woke up and they settled things between each other, and he took her home. And so their love story continued.
