It was late afternoon, as Katherine Pierce tried to get to where she was now staying at; her apartment. She was worn out, though. She had gotten herself attacked; shot. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She only knew that she wasn't healing and she was weak. She didn't want to be seen like this, so she wanted to try and get inside her apartment.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6v6tlkhbs
Suddenly, she felt weaker and then felt the ground. She then sat against a vehicle, as her vision started to fade away.
When Elena smelled her scent, she followed it. It was an almost faint scent, though.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh4CjX0CV7
When she saw her sitting against a white Minivan, she started forward, unsure if she was playing one of her games or not. Her head was down, but she could see her eyes were closed. She could smell a small scent of blood, too.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz2dY6LKfF
Suddenly, Damon Salvatore was at her side and grabbed her arm.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGfcRbisxo
"Elena, go. Find Rebekah. We're leaving."649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6fh7UBTxR
He watched her vanish, before rushing to Kat's side at vamp speed.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfkzMVtN49
He knelt in front of her.
"Katherine?" he called.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU098ISwacB
She groaned.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKX6RTC7aQ
He scanned her with his eyes and saw that she was hurt. Her wounds were bleeding a little and she wasn't healing. He knew from the sire bond that she was dying.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP798T9B4p
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet with her in his arms.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPWMPcBTOa
"You'll be okay, Katherine," he promised. "Just stay with me."
649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5ZlJlmcWn
At vamp speed, he was by his car he had parked not far away. He then opened the passenger's door and gently sat her in the passenger's seat, before closing the door and going around the other side to get in the driver's seat.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLIc64wiLr
Once inside, he looked over at his sire.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9kly9UACz
"Hang in there, Kat," he said, using his old nickname for her.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDysgEwJ5jm
A moment later, Elena and Rebekah got in the back seat and closed their doors.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPGCuYsD8J
"Why are we saving Katherine?" Rebekah asked, as Damon drove as fast as he could back to Mystic Falls.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJg6QQYV5i
"One, she's the only one that knows where the cure is. Two, we need her for more than one reason."649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBHLjXA5t6
"You make it sound like she's older and knows more than I do."649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyhwphABFq
"Technically, she knows more than you," he answered Rebekah.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIxkl1D5Y7
Elena was silent.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHwzTse7R8
There was another reason Damon was saving her, but he wasn't going to tell either of the vampiressess. He knew they wouldn't like it. The last reason he was saving her was because he cared about her. He didn't want to watch his sire die.
Once at home, Elena followed Damon inside the boarding house. She then stopped in the living room and watched him lay Katherine gently down on the couch.
When Katherine awoke, she was in the living room on the couch, Damon by the couch, Elena standing by the fireplace.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06dFH1Cc7O
"Katherine," he greeted.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HeQ9PXBys
"Damon," she greeted back.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVArleAk7GP
They smiled at one another.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHc0lcd3Q0
She sat up, feeling like herself again.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPc2pEDk4V
"Thanks," she said to him.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAMRfi77qg
"You're welcome," he replied.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyqKCwwFRa
He helped her to her feet.649Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjZQHk7PgS
Katherine and Damon looked at one another.
