Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS5INewtdm
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.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpYrFeZVd8
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qh4bkoHpE
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMo7KUWrnF
"Yes," she answered.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqQdxbP9qG
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.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1SiqnLQQm
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.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf7h0igEwZ
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZZGE9WbLX
Come in, Elena thought back.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfyFLPckJU
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.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPflxU37pXx
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO63dYEJdTW
With his free hand, he held a knife.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm7Ga4bPzM
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPmL3G8JFz
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pfiBiHccc
"Katherine," Kol greeted.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMUxxTtRYL
"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."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhXBESJIr0
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp9L4bHHSl
"Because I just saved you."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL1iC2a4VP
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGJbRPdoG2
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWTKyXJAmi
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVNIXJDeMu
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ikr5AvlvS
"You're welcome," she said.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHWFruue2Y
"I'm going out," he replied.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2P3hSNBKB
She watched him leave.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLPFJ8CGus
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.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6DXew997r
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.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMuWMgx2Qg
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAUX6CUfjC
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.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx78s6fcc7
"Thank you," Katherine said.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDumC2H4NA
"You're welcome."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu2nBiviz3
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXitDZdDuYO
"Thanks," Elena said.673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMTrIhkOmI
"You're welcome, Elena."673Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4kqeqXCDo
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
