It was a dark night, as Katherine reached the compound, limping, vision going grey, heavily bleeding from her wounds. And once on the Mikaelson doorstep, she felt something hard beneath her, vision going black.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpmQGIrEgA

Klaus on his way out when he smell blood; human blood. And once he opened the door, he was shocked to see a very human Katerina on her back on the porch.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX3u9oYPui
He knelt down beside her.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dkbWH1NyP
“Katerina?” he called, as he assessed her condition and wounds with his eyes.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26CqsTghi0
“Klaus…” she murmured, barely awake.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltDpSjIzT3
He pulled her gently into his arms.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMvHBJf1WK
“I’m here, luv,” he assured her.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OsBNLMGp9
He got to his feet with her in his arms and hybrid-sped inside to his room.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4y33ONLcG

By the time he had gently layed her down on her back on his bed, she had blacked out.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88FTvzngzE
He sat on her bedside and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her after what looked to be a vampire attack, hoping it would work, knowing that she had gotten the cure shoved down her throat.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeODQPeDyiG
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and her wounds and his wrist healed.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgEVY2tktd
He sighed in relief, glad that she would live to see another day. He had never shown it, but he had always secretly loved her and cared about her.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjV6vvKdpd
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face, looking down at her, and waited for her to awaken.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaLw4fnoOS

When she woke up, it was still dark outside and she was in Klaus’ room, who was seated on her bedside, looking down at her like he cared for her.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8gbB9TK8o
“Tell me who did that to you,” he said, before she could say anything.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZHkcnHhQI
“It was a vampire. That’s all I know. Why didn’t you kill me when you had the chance? I’m not worth anything to you anymore. I’m useless to you; especially, now that I’m a weak, helpless human.”594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJw1zeEiPe
“Is it so hard to believe that I care about what happens to you?” he questioned her.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP0MaVXOxu
“Yes.”594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNccnWLOC4
“Apart from what I did 500 years ago, why?”594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5wcDKYQnM
“Because like me, you’ll always be that monster,” she replied.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xUv6IXKte
“Is that really what you think of me? A monster? I saved your life tonight. I even refrained from showing up back in Mystic Falls to see you. I kept my distance, despite your change.”594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBYXPj02KP
“If you want to help me, then do it. All I’ve had this summer is fear, loneliness, and hatred.”594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclKycJBMRT
“Then I’ll help you. Despite what you think, we are alike, you and I.”594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRxFqB4cYq
She gave a smile.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJlTPSr18N
“That we are.”594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbOqWf3vhT
He smiled back.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykQiQ1PXIf
A moment later, they were kissing with him on top.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWq6BnbsjP
