It was a dark night as Damon staggered through the Mystic Falls streets, very warm and sweating, not exactly himself. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyW0KkbBpj

Meanwhile, Katherine was out looking for her elder childe, having found that he was MIA.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs62NwjJ3P

Once she found him, he began to hallucinate and pinned her to a pole, her back up against it.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KzjY3XJBc
"I choose you, Katherine."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEeJHR21nh
When he went for the side of her neck, she knew what he was hallucinating.

It was a dark night in the Mystic Falls woods, as Katherine stood with her back up against a tree, human Damon in front of her. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOcORV1MEy
She used a fingernail to make a cut on her left collarbone. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0SBzZ8W9c
"If you want it, take it," she instructed, teaching him something she had always done as long as she had been a vampire; take whatever you want, no matter the cost to others. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KZRha7iSu
He bent towards the cut. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspSEMf2Cd
"I choose you, Katherine."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPbSRmpVdt
She smiled.

She rested gentle but firm hands on either side of his head, making him stop, keeping him from biting her and making him look at her. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLveCZ7fTM
"You're hallucinating, Damon; stop," she said gently. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo0N3pOBee
"Katherine?" he said, looking at her, realizing he had almost bitten her in the present, when he had hallucinated. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAaZDAxxeA
"I'm here. It's okay. You didn't hurt me," she assured him. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡske3xWm28B
He let her go and stepped back, which turned into a stagger. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OEMW7kpbf
When he began to lose his balance from sudden weakness, she was instantly beside him and put an arm around him to help him. She then used her body weight to keep him on his feet. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMc0zGEQRX
"Let's go home," she stated.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN7Khb4OrW

Half an hour later, he lay in bed with his sire wetting his face down with a cool wet wash cloth. He was very pale and weak. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1zx2xufMQ
As she sat beside him on his bed, she felt helpless. She was helpless next to him. She was his sire and girlfriend. She was supposed to protect or at least save him, but all she could do was watch him slowly and painfully die. Her only hope was for Stefan to get the cure and bring it in time. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNJZEKhYuE
"You should go. I could hurt you," he whispered. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn8iAxYlZc
"You won't. I'm here until the very end."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrzVZtV8na
"I love you," he replied in susurration, thinking this may be the last time he'd get to say it. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCG3ikRnYu
"I love you, too."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnCRmRN0nX
She bent down and kissed him, before pulling away. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbvu0lc93P
He closed his eyes. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfbQXA5tZj
"Thank...you," he managed to whisper. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJz5s5pEt6
A moment later, Klaus walked in with a vial of blood in hand.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiyXf4vF6i
She sensed a presence, so she turned to look and was surprised that he was there with the cure, instead of Stefan. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4S2TkBDKu
"I hate to interrupt dear Katerina, but here you go," he said, walking over to her. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwEyG1ZVJN
She took it from him. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFREaFMC5l
"Where's Stefan?" she questioned. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7mpxzeybi
"Oh, he's paying for this; bringing out his inner demons. See you around, Katerina," he replied, before vanishing. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXspFkwCIb
She turned back to Damon and uncorked the vial, before putting it to his lips, making the blood go down his throat. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooGZWvwZD6

Half an hour later he came to, cured, and she told him what he had missed. Now it was time to get Stefan back on track.
