Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?646Please respect copyright.PENANApnJqX990BN
It was a dark night, as Kohl chased after Elena and Jeremy in their lake house. He headed up the stairs towards the Gilberts and headed for Jeremy. Elena got in his way and Jeremy fell down the stairs.646Please respect copyright.PENANAePbGf3VIfb
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.646Please respect copyright.PENANAl1LWSVFkTy
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.646Please respect copyright.PENANAGkj3vapNbF
"Yes," she answered.646Please respect copyright.PENANAMjTY7lexam
He tried to get past her, but she didn't let him. He grabbed her and pinned her against a wall, before he broke a piece of wood off the railing and stabbed her with it.646Please respect copyright.PENANAia9HLxV3vW
As she slid down the wall, she watched as he knelt beside her only brother. Then she saw Jeremy and Kol start fighting, before they disappeared from her sight. Then she saw Katherine at the door.646Please respect copyright.PENANARA7vXa8ofA
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.646Please respect copyright.PENANA3kqO7WZhXX
Come in, Elena thought back.646Please respect copyright.PENANAJXG6VRYhax
Katherine walked in and vanished to help Jeremy. She wanted to kill Kol but knew he needed to stay alive until Klaus came. He'd deal with Kol on his own terms.
Kol grabbed him and pinned him against the side of the bar.646Please respect copyright.PENANAvuO4J9zQdk
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."646Please respect copyright.PENANAbJIdOzJ6EH
With his free hand, he held a knife.646Please respect copyright.PENANASGgaDRnGY5
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.646Please respect copyright.PENANA8eTmGiwGLh
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.646Please respect copyright.PENANATgpguz9nuW
"Katherine," Kol greeted.646Please respect copyright.PENANAsH9490aUcf
"Kol, it's been a while. Jeremy, are you okay? Kol, I'd like to kill you for hurting the last of my family and Elena's family, but I won't. I'll leave you for Klaus to deal with."646Please respect copyright.PENANAH5V5pD3yID
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.646Please respect copyright.PENANAARjH8WvELf
"Because I just saved you."646Please respect copyright.PENANAhLKAgYp5U5
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.646Please respect copyright.PENANAowEk9HqTi2
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."646Please respect copyright.PENANAD9SO8EnfBA
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.646Please respect copyright.PENANAVeqtRWidzw
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.646Please respect copyright.PENANAZu6ow1pAll
"You're welcome," she said.646Please respect copyright.PENANAQ33qjoiZbh
"I'm going out," he replied.646Please respect copyright.PENANA5LFO0cBNgS
She watched him leave.646Please respect copyright.PENANA9hrZhBVVc8
As her strength began to ebb away, she knew she didn't have much time left. She let go of the bar and slid down it. She was dying from the hybrid bites. She had come here for help, because she needed the cure.
Elena entered the kitchen after healing, only to see that Katherine was the only one there. She could easily see that she was hurt and losing consciousness. She could smell blood, too.646Please respect copyright.PENANAy18ZODTOTq
Elena knelt in front of her and saw how pale she looked. She saw that she was sweating. That's when she knew that she had been bitten and needed the cure.646Please respect copyright.PENANAJgx4CINak2
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.646Please respect copyright.PENANAUXmWkye59q
As Elena slid her hand under her to rest between her shoulder blades, and gently pulled her towards her, Katherine blacked out. She gently pulled the unconscious vampiress into her arms, and slid her free arm under her legs. Then, with vampire strength, Elena picked her up and headed for the door.
Once Katherine was in Damon's bed at the Salvatore boarding house, Elena got the cure from the cooler in the basement. She then made it go down her throat, until it was finished.
When Katherine woke up, she felt better. She saw that Elena was seated on her bedside.646Please respect copyright.PENANAqr5efO8zgu
"Thank you," Katherine said.646Please respect copyright.PENANA7cJVwMNn1M
"You're welcome."646Please respect copyright.PENANA7G2qdq1hL3
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.646Please respect copyright.PENANAxpsRuDmrwU
"Thanks," Elena said.646Please respect copyright.PENANAYsM8FV2lt1
"You're welcome, Elena."646Please respect copyright.PENANApTB9YQVrii
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
