It was a beautiful day, as Katherine Pierce walked into her residential home. And that's when she sensed someone else. She was standing by the threshold to the living room, when she turned around.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxafTrPYuG
"Hello, Katherine. Klaus sends his regards," he said, as he stabbed her in the middle of her chest.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0OUD1pvHm
"James," she said in shock. And then, as a scent wafted over her and she heard Damon yell, "Katherine!", she was barely able to say, "Come in," inviting him inside.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe8MtPxLxG
As Damon through James away from her, she staggered back once before losing her balance. And then, as she lay on her back, she knew the dagger had vervain on it.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5lnSMc03q
Damon through the werewolf against a wall, ripped his heart out, and dropped it before racing over to his sire.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW0npGzbJh
He knelt down beside her and pulled the dagger out, tossing it to the floor, and looked down at her.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWD4kayfvJ
As her wound healed, he helped her up as he got to his own feet.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSwVFSZuFr
"How are you feeling?" he asked.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbsSqHEkgM
"Like I just got vervained."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxAuDKYXBY
He saw that she didn't look good.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FcspTfI9u
"Katherine, look at me."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWKJtsX4Rd
She tried to do as he said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvddSrgdLN8
"Focus, Kat," he said, for once in a long time, using his nickname for her.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB4N4FlTMk
"Damon," she said.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMga3EAz731
As she collapsed, he caught her from hitting the floor with a hand between her shoulder blades, an arm holding her up. Then he left the house to go home with her in his arms, knowing she would be okay once the vervain was out of her system. Blood would help, but not his. It would give her more vervain, since he mixed a little of vervain with alcohol every day and night. She needed someone else's. Maybe Elena would be willing.
Later, she awoke after Elena had given her some of her blood. Katherine could see that she was on the couch at the boarding house with Elena and Damon by the couch with worried faces.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFOpGQ3jsL
"I'll be fine," she assured them, as she slowly sat up.
