Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1WNqn3fis
It was a dark night, as Kohl chased after Elena and Jeremy in their lake house. He headed up the stairs towards the Gilberts and headed for Jeremy. Elena got in his way and Jeremy fell down the stairs.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC8SmVM4MF
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6IvyHb6C4
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIpi0pO85q
"Yes," she answered.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScICnQRjfM
He tried to get past her, but she didn't let him. He grabbed her and pinned her against a wall, before he broke a piece of wood off the railing and stabbed her with it.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRZtHbNCY9
As she slid down the wall, she watched as he knelt beside her only brother. Then she saw Jeremy and Kol start fighting, before they disappeared from her sight. Then she saw Katherine at the door.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8SJe4dVBL
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD50hv2W1mO
Come in, Elena thought back.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzphR8Nbqmw
Katherine walked in and vanished to help Jeremy. She wanted to kill Kol but knew he needed to stay alive until Klaus came. He'd deal with Kol on his own terms.
Kol grabbed him and pinned him against the side of the bar.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4gqYqfsca
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE498jggou
With his free hand, he held a knife.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZqrq7e0q5
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EZYxxG88E
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpklfBNFGR
"Katherine," Kol greeted.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABb01zcFeF
"Kol, it's been a while. Jeremy, are you okay? Kol, I'd like to kill you for hurting the last of my family and Elena's family, but I won't. I'll leave you for Klaus to deal with."676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCWaoIdRk4
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJfY7MPzhL
"Because I just saved you."676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNyKvqsvxh
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBUjRZLszr
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwtyLDa2GC
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIUk2XqHU2
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8QSzgEETZ
"You're welcome," she said.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4lSxy8FZj
"I'm going out," he replied.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEky7sMnCfI
She watched him leave.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSYve3eMCG
As her strength began to ebb away, she knew she didn't have much time left. She let go of the bar and slid down it. She was dying from the hybrid bites. She had come here for help, because she needed the cure.
Elena entered the kitchen after healing, only to see that Katherine was the only one there. She could easily see that she was hurt and losing consciousness. She could smell blood, too.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHVkOAFhnu
Elena knelt in front of her and saw how pale she looked. She saw that she was sweating. That's when she knew that she had been bitten and needed the cure.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvQDmjHLXL
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSiVyUnlL0
As Elena slid her hand under her to rest between her shoulder blades, and gently pulled her towards her, Katherine blacked out. She gently pulled the unconscious vampiress into her arms, and slid her free arm under her legs. Then, with vampire strength, Elena picked her up and headed for the door.
Once Katherine was in Damon's bed at the Salvatore boarding house, Elena got the cure from the cooler in the basement. She then made it go down her throat, until it was finished.
When Katherine woke up, she felt better. She saw that Elena was seated on her bedside.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqg0oMPqM0
"Thank you," Katherine said.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VItwCRv1t
"You're welcome."676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7Yudkf5cM
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIJCt4GT5j
"Thanks," Elena said.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFw5Ucr0IL
"You're welcome, Elena."676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2YrATkAQV
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
