It was late afternoon, as Katherine Pierce tried to get to where she was now staying at; her apartment. She was worn out, though. She had gotten herself attacked; shot. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She only knew that she wasn't healing and she was weak. She didn't want to be seen like this, so she wanted to try and get inside her apartment.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME52Nv7e1h
Suddenly, she felt weaker and then felt the ground. She then sat against a vehicle, as her vision started to fade away.
When Elena smelled her scent, she followed it. It was an almost faint scent, though.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt49YBaoXF
When she saw her sitting against a white Minivan, she started forward, unsure if she was playing one of her games or not. Her head was down, but she could see her eyes were closed. She could smell a small scent of blood, too.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7TTprFvly
Suddenly, Damon Salvatore was at her side and grabbed her arm.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3zAPpzbdU
"Elena, go. Find Rebekah. We're leaving."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBSlQbJ2qH
He watched her vanish, before rushing to Kat's side at vamp speed.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m2te9AoWG
He knelt in front of her.
"Katherine?" he called.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AIhBzFw15
She groaned.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cSnUYfiYG
He scanned her with his eyes and saw that she was hurt. Her wounds were bleeding a little and she wasn't healing. He knew from the sire bond that she was dying.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSNm6ihPC0
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet with her in his arms.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gW6ZfQ0eR
"You'll be okay, Katherine," he promised. "Just stay with me."

At vamp speed, he was by his car he had parked not far away. He then opened the passenger's door and gently sat her in the passenger's seat, before closing the door and going around the other side to get in the driver's seat.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlxcvRnZlo
Once inside, he looked over at his sire.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhZsb6BriI
"Hang in there, Kat," he said, using his old nickname for her.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAwx3SjvpF
A moment later, Elena and Rebekah got in the back seat and closed their doors.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi9vmqCU0N
"Why are we saving Katherine?" Rebekah asked, as Damon drove as fast as he could back to Mystic Falls.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wABC0TMT7
"One, she's the only one that knows where the cure is. Two, we need her for more than one reason."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvA0zzMJIS
"You make it sound like she's older and knows more than I do."717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeyNghir5L
"Technically, she knows more than you," he answered Rebekah.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyRoJYokJP
Elena was silent.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCZwcQEk6C
There was another reason Damon was saving her, but he wasn't going to tell either of the vampiressess. He knew they wouldn't like it. The last reason he was saving her was because he cared about her. He didn't want to watch his sire die.
Once at home, Elena followed Damon inside the boarding house. She then stopped in the living room and watched him lay Katherine gently down on the couch.
When Katherine awoke, she was in the living room on the couch, Damon by the couch, Elena standing by the fireplace.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR63SFD0qU
"Katherine," he greeted.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ZZR6uOwD
"Damon," she greeted back.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUKLSpoG0r
They smiled at one another.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC3ceZhGJv
She sat up, feeling like herself again.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbbP9yKeAS
"Thanks," she said to him.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfNDAds5lP
"You're welcome," he replied.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldVixsoW4x
He helped her to her feet.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZgamDjFFR
Katherine and Damon looked at one another.
