I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I'm in Damon's bed in his room at the Salvatore boarding house. Damon is standing at my bedside, looking down at me.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW22IfF4h71
"Damon," I breathe, weakly looking at him.
I'm so weak and hungry. I know I'm dying. And I'm so torrid. I know I won't be in existence much longer. I can feel myself slowly dying.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhS827jkdZ
"I'm sorry. For everything. I never wanted to hurt you. I have always loved you both. I never chose either of you," I whisper in truth.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdaPHtTVi0
He sits on my bedside.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9l5GTBoKy
We look at each other.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uZvlZK6GL
"I forgave you a long time ago, Kat. There's no need for apologies," he informs me.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJidgyiwhx
A sharp pain shoots through me and I gasp in pain.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtq27v0syX
"Kat, it's okay. You'll be okay."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIDov5fVqO
"I'm dying. How will I be okay?" I whisper.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdGyfgoaNR
"Because we'll find the cure. I have Bonnie asking the witches. You'll live."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsgmoxdZgS
"You don't know that. I can feel it. It's close. Death is close," I susurrate. "I love you," I then add.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIVLGgUN56
A moment later, everything goes black for me.916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nCyRehm0X
In the next instant, I'm in my past. It's the sixteenth century in Bulgaria. I see the villagers that lived in my village, as I look down at my village on a hill. I see my family, too. I relive it all. I see everyone in my village lying on the ground, slaughtered. I miss them so much, but I miss my ma'ma more. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeSume1J8z
A moment later, I'm in 1864 in Mystic Falls. It's winter and the night of the vampire raid. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovNl8po1dZ
I stop in the middle of the street. I know I must go, but I love them both so much. So I must go to them. I run towards them and kneel down between them. Damon and Stefan are dead. They were shot by their father when they went to rescue me. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YZfCk3UmB
I touch the side of Stefan's face with a gentle hand. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35puskvCgP
"I'll see you soon, Stefan."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtyRXYKjPJ
I turn to Damon, hand off Stefan's face, and whisper in his ear, a gentle hand on the side of his face. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzIdQTfxb8
"I promise we'll be together again soon. I love you both. Protect each other for me. I'll be with you again when I get the chance. I love you, Damon."916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR2tnqdLd4
I stand up and rush towards the coach where my vampire friends, Pearl and Anna, are waiting for me. 916Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDGfxPeqsV
As my coach starts moving, I look out the window silently and look at the Salvatore brothers still lying there. I wish I could stay with them, but if I don't leave town, I'll surely be killed and my first rule for myself is always survive. My second rule is to always stay one step ahead of the enemy. Besides, I don't know how far away from Mystic Falls Klaus is. And if he finds me here, he'll kill me. I can't let that happen. I have to survive. I have the Salvatore brothers to live for, and I'm still in search of my long lost daughter my father took from me. I want to be reunited with her someday. My only human family I have left. I know I'll never be reunited with my human family Niklaus slaughtered, for they are dead. And they didn't have vampire blood in their system when they were killed.
