Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXA0oii3wD
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8WVJshu3Z
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQimU7Jn5Z
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXrzozJmrZ
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtDkA6hBGL
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ11j0cTP6m
"I was bitten by the hybrids he sent after me. I need your help. I need his blood; the cure. Please, Rebekah," she said, almost begging the Original sister.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dsF0oDXBJ
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDRyo4gPLt
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvQP8iuZyF
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV816Tjq6j3
"Drink."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6No3I0IH5
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CNKxxh2JY
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUVbQ5162R
"Thank you."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoLI18x1XT
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR7Hm518dt
"You won't. I promise."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ejjHLq5f
"Good."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVazd0k4MJ
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5LYa5y6lo
"A lot; Alaric was turned by mother and alerted the council. They want us all dead I guess. But Alaric is dead now, Stefan is trying to get back to his old habits, and I killed Elena and almost Matt. I wanted Alaric dead and Elena was tied to him. I thought Alaric killed my brother. Now Elena's a vampire. Apparently, she had Damon's blood in her system. And I didn't know that."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukk7IlTlxJ
"Wow. I missed a lot," is all she could say to that. Since Rebekah hadn't known, she couldn't be mad at her for Elena turning into a vampire.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j0N1AquE7
Suddenly, arrows started flying.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lf7XU3TAA
"Get the blood and vervain! Just in case! Then we have to go!" Katherine yelled and grabbed the blood, putt it in a bag. Rebekah obeyed and did the same with the vervain, putting it in the same bag.
They made it outside the Mystic Grille, before everything started to unfocus for Katherine, and Rebekah grew pale and weak. Rebekah had taken an arrow in the middle of her chest, while Katherine had taken an arrow in the leg.
Rebekah slid down the wall to sit down, while Katherine set the bag down and knelt beside her.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhQekh7bg4
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoGaL59423
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvKhcEcgR7
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HLEW5mntF
"It's us," Kat answered him.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlTIaGoGXT
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj254BHkoA
"She saved my life. Then we had to leave. We got shot with arrows; me in the leg and Rebekah in the chest. But we're both still alive. We're right outside the Mystic Grille. We need help, Damon. Something was on them. You should try and keep her awake, while I go see if anyone's in there."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQf6mfBu3P
"Will do," he replied to his sire.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg74jo8Wway
She got to her feet and used the wall to hold herself up, as she staggered towards the door and opened it enough so they only saw one hand, her upper body, and unhurt leg. Then she leaned on the door and scanned the crowd within, stopping when she saw Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2CIl1FEUI
Caroline saw Katherine.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V8ROBFTsq
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3nimAIs4N
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOOZNkJ028
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLsh66rEti
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn7dM3j3cv
"Let's go," Tyler said.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE23O9mWi2
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4WaUPLeNA
They stopped by Rebekah.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfUJemnZZa
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2hlXVJTrf
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiISulXcOQ7
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Lco61FGy
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY9qIH3dyD
"Katherine, hang in there. Damon's coming," Tyler instructed the Petrova vampiress, unsure of what to do or what else to say.
Damon hung up soon after.
Not long afterward, Damon arrived. He instantly went to stand in front of Katherine.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnqffdNBQv
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzcelY2s9a
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy5Lf7rHHP
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLChRwykvJn
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6KG4kIt8p
He caught her, as she lost her balance, unable to stand. And as he picked her up, he realized how weak she was. He felt her rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his neck.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfuTRBDXvL
"Stay awake, Kat," he instructed, as he sped towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Once inside, Damon gently sat her in Elena's recliner, while Tyler carried Rebekah upstairs to the guest room, which was formerly Ric's room, and before that, Elena's Aunt Jenna's room. Tyler and Caroline stayed with Rebekah, while Damon stayed in the living room with his sire. Elena stood by and watched.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xiIe1Fsb6
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEF3qPMVop
"Kat, stay with me."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMmgAcI1JX
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hzN3hQvvJ
"The Council shot them with arrows. Something's on them. We need Meredith over here. She might know what's on them and how to cure them. And you need to call Klaus. He'll want to know about his sister."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXqj03ntM3
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbesr7z6nPQ
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah7MYUkCeh
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpGKHVkIrL
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2agZCNl2W
"Let me try then," Klaus said. "Katerina, you have to stay awake. Think of your family. If you die now, you would've been fighting for nothing. You would've survived this long for nothing. You've been fighting for 500 years, Katerina. Don't give up now. You can't. We won't let you die," he told his former doppelganger, meaning it all. He had trust and faith in her now. And he cared about her. He then added to Elena, "I'm coming over to help. You'll have to invite me in. After this is all over though, you can uninvited me." He then hung up.
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfjRBN9B4n
Half an hour later, he arrived and Elena invited him in. He walked into the living room and Damon stepped away, watching as he knelt in front of her.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClNn2if9p0
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeixrosXmZZ
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2DDiNb52P
"Klaus," she said back.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQMPH8wNbv
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiIYkWQFrL
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhvJ2uJzTB
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPkO06CSTs
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN5tH0ZObR
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYusrNmnP3
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrqTwI9SfF
So they did and both got better.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgNMRqU9h4
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AgMNE4dfW
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl89U4F6xXG
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMRvjMz7vW
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI2WoRtz8m
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I know how it feels. It's different for everyone, but I want to help you. You're my family, Elena. I may not show it, but I care. I really do care."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWuIFSxNhK
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZeMqaGcTf
"I'm sorry, Elena. I would've been here if I didn't have hybrids on my tail. But I'm here to stay now. I'll help you in any way I can."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45x8jmZgwj
"You want the truth, Katherine? I'm tired. All I try to do is fight and do the right thing. But Damon said I have to drink from the vein. I don't want to and it's killing me, trying to not drink from the vein. He told me I can't drink animal blood and I can't. He said I could only drink from the vein and that's all I can do. I can't even keep Damon's blood down. What am I going to do?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gmUC1V2lm
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFReUbRYzp
"Yeah. Why?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bcIHnKKty
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ttGgkAWWU
"It can't be," Kat whispered.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqfZ8o70Rg
"What?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBl4fGPpaY
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva7XfEm6Ym
"But what?"641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD2OKtKLGz
"You're sired to Damon."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqavFvkScrN
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolXhZ4S0lc
"I don't know, but it happens once in a while. It can be broken. We just have to convince him to free you from the sire bond."641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqBen30GBD
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
