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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxuK9l5fcw

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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocHylhB2u1
He knelt down beside her.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoTeUvQAFT
“Katerina?” he called, as he assessed her condition and wounds with his eyes.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gu2Uax8u4
“Klaus…” she murmured, barely awake.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FqdiMmvMd
He pulled her gently into his arms.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xW0Tnkw0V
“I’m here, luv,” he assured her.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1zL0mGS7C
He got to his feet with her in his arms and hybrid-sped inside to his room.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60rvj0SikD

By the time he had gently layed her down on her back on his bed, she had blacked out.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ9QIcG75y
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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdZukgsuEx
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and her wounds and his wrist healed.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWYvSLf0cf
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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBWnxuy0GS
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face, looking down at her, and waited for her to awaken.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU91fViD8z

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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8637swQOLa
“Tell me who did that to you,” he said, before she could say anything.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWieUpzg6aQ
“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.”569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzifPUqhHwH
“Is it so hard to believe that I care about what happens to you?” he questioned her.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzksXpQ72j
“Yes.”569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEY12oifp4
“Apart from what I did 500 years ago, why?”569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lI9JD8MUY
“Because like me, you’ll always be that monster,” she replied.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuNG4QUBhG
“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.”569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAREaqwS1f
“If you want to help me, then do it. All I’ve had this summer is fear, loneliness, and hatred.”569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW56QqEqeL
“Then I’ll help you. Despite what you think, we are alike, you and I.”569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUQeTdMOQp
She gave a smile.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7CgMEXyLt
“That we are.”569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGj0A9PBsQ
He smiled back.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9j0UHlnyW
A moment later, they were kissing with him on top.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOnj8JRsJW
