It was a nebulous night at the Salvatore boarding house, as human Katherine set the empty shot glass down on Damon’s drinking table.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrFB89HY1Q
“You’re miserable,” Damon stated.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY0qOkzAuN
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor.”613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyfEr93mGs
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRumX9eoxBs
She gripped his arm, but hesitated.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkQcsuqh2V
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkHZyiDHdB
She let go and looked at him.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB9WfZDfOZ
“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.”613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIbAwwiLVa
“And that would be tragic,” he commented, not caring.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRsaOhakZy
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK9EFdc7dY
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmZsQ1pCSX
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsurA66E0Y
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGhHt7GLJ3
“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.”613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aX3nvpjQC
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHhWahBOLr
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJjcMjZYMy
“Stay with me, Katherine,” he said. “Please.”613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8KQzTSdgQ
He blurred to the hospital, hoping she’d live.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbW3gK7buA

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFWa1zQTAC
Meredith came over.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIFNqLQlyb
“What happened?”613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SoXxOMyq1
“She wrecked my car and got herself injured in the process. I’ll explain later, but this is my fault,” he summarized.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiFIvYvKfG
Meredith knew he wasn’t telling her everything, but didn’t question him. Right now, all that mattered was saving Katherine’s life.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrjr2pBfSI
She put a breathing mask on her.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidc1BSQQZm
“I’ll let you know how it goes,” she told him.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG2r5uPu3f

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoNrgJsN18
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZVcXH4rRU
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCq37nSP5V
A few hours later, Meredith informed him that she’d be okay and he went to her room.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIskt26kYAn
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9DhSnHUWx
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF31OPE8Z5I

An hour later, she woke up and they settled things between each other, and he took her home. And so their love story continued.
