It was a beautiful day, as Klaus and Katherine stood not far from where the sun streamed in through a window. Klaus wanted her to tell him the truth of what had been going on while he had been out of the house.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo0Gy7cz5l
"Tell me the truth," he growled at her.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49Hn06qQrf
"I'd rather die."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXKSzA7bgp
"Then die," he said, being impatient.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslikYm061M
He tied her to a wooden chair in the sun and left the house. And as she sat there tied to the chair in the sun, she screamed in pain, as she burned.
An hour and a half later, Damon Salvatore stood outside Alaric's apartment and knocked. When nobody opened it and he heard a groan from inside, he opened the door and walked inside, closing the door behind himself.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeksJZWtjg0
Upon seeing her, he raced towards and knelt in front of her. As he worked with the ropes to untie her, she was still burning. He head was down, eyes closed. He couldn't hear anything from her, which worried him.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7OGwvIjRW
Once the ropes were off her, he got to his feet and gently picked her up in his arms. He then layed her gently down in the middle of the floor, out of the sunlight. He raced to the bar where her jacket was and grabbed it, racing back. He then knelt at her side and listened for breathing.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7b4FXqihs
She was breathing, but it was so shallow and faint, he could barely hear it; even with his vampire hearing.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfZgzNIqfv
As he gently lifted her, her head went back. He pulled her into his arms and covered her skin with both her jacket and his. Then he got to his feet with her, walked out, closed the door behind himself, and raced towards the boarding house.
Once home, he closed the front door and raced to his couch. He gently layed her down on his couch and took the jackets off her. He sets hers on the recliner in front of the fireplace, and put his own back on. He positioned her head gently back, bit wrist, and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU5Lsrp0DR
While he was feeding her his blood, Elena opened the door and walked in, closing it behind herself.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvBNvmcDb0
"You found her," she said.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ0BooequQ
"Yeah. At Ric's. That means he's in Ric's body. He nearly killed her. He must really want her dead," Damon explained.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMYFFgK7KO
Elena stood not far from the couch.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6LqLgeeh5
"Will she be okay?"604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCschJs6Vzb
"She'll have to wake up for me to know," he informed the doppelganger.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Q5Jp37JA
Elena was silent, unsure of what to say.
An hour later, Katherine awoke, coughing and gasping. Damon helped her sit up, seated on the couch by her. He rested gentle hands on either side of her head, careful of her burnt skin. He looked into her face for any signs that she might not make it.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZXE6UPf7e
"Katherine," he greeted, once she had her breath.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBSJK2PRZf
He took his hands away.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBPCkA5GtX
"Damon. Thanks. You saved my life."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKFAVxaAWz
"Yes. And don't make me regret it. What happened?"604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLTkIaK6o5
She explained to him what happened.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyJT0p9qhY
"I probably said the wrong thing to Klaus," she commented.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0TZ7vARiR
"Yeah. You think?" he said sarcastically. He then added, "You nearly died."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrSnktQRzv
"Yeah, well, I can be stupid sometimes. I'll be more careful next time," she said. She added that last part when she saw his worried look.
