Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTdzQ7nbzT
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.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEVq1lCw9j
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhAYcpSOEE
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IOrNTOUm4
"Yes," she answered.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX10T5X2HH
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.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO9uTbaQQU
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.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLpr7Dh7dI
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr9jhn1StV
Come in, Elena thought back.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHWaug54IJ
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.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lMPPRRruv
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs01mLZUIV
With his free hand, he held a knife.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9KHrM61zX
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME1sRUcftw
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovd25xsc7T
"Katherine," Kol greeted.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwNo80ZHFc
"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."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPcKht8nAi
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3JojmUnxM
"Because I just saved you."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHhp5RPup6
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyIgF07uGX
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CGq7c9vn2
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bE5ujM4V3
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlVcPRC6eY
"You're welcome," she said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7ispYLIBE
"I'm going out," he replied.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqsvIousW2
She watched him leave.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcIoDWiCvF
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.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KhGx2Cvkk
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.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0LjjnhZTa
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXE5WW8y8P
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.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJcDu3nDzD
"Thank you," Katherine said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNDXjkC30k
"You're welcome."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEOioonDg2
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHd30JxmxL
"Thanks," Elena said.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡounS48Utjl
"You're welcome, Elena."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ4hEjcHLB
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
