Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMmDiwaQ39
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnQy32d2kT
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBlhf0jRop
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdMBhMLuF2
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIblaUnLME
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTnXXJFkwF
"I was bitten by the hybrids he sent after me. I need your help. I need his blood; the cure. Please, Rebekah," she said, almost begging the Original sister.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGY4PgLlpn
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF82C11NwB
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQHbT8SeJu
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDofzF3hACW
"Drink."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofv6ZK71yh
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1GKhEZfTw
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8iZwlbFIy
"Thank you."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJmEparLVy
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGOWuAubHC
"You won't. I promise."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOkjP5nBIX
"Good."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CHtnvTYkz
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQOc91fYkx
"A lot; Alaric was turned by mother and alerted the council. They want us all dead I guess. But Alaric is dead now, Stefan is trying to get back to his old habits, and I killed Elena and almost Matt. I wanted Alaric dead and Elena was tied to him. I thought Alaric killed my brother. Now Elena's a vampire. Apparently, she had Damon's blood in her system. And I didn't know that."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0VLRdfmoY
"Wow. I missed a lot," is all she could say to that. Since Rebekah hadn't known, she couldn't be mad at her for Elena turning into a vampire.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGUykzYXyn
Suddenly, arrows started flying.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELDjuFTvJk
"Get the blood and vervain! Just in case! Then we have to go!" Katherine yelled and grabbed the blood, putt it in a bag. Rebekah obeyed and did the same with the vervain, putting it in the same bag.
They made it outside the Mystic Grille, before everything started to unfocus for Katherine, and Rebekah grew pale and weak. Rebekah had taken an arrow in the middle of her chest, while Katherine had taken an arrow in the leg.
Rebekah slid down the wall to sit down, while Katherine set the bag down and knelt beside her.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRModFg5VQ
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6kUzUYaEJ
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qFtdVnaYX
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSVv2vhE3Z
"It's us," Kat answered him.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjclPiK9UMP
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif4ttyX3tq
"She saved my life. Then we had to leave. We got shot with arrows; me in the leg and Rebekah in the chest. But we're both still alive. We're right outside the Mystic Grille. We need help, Damon. Something was on them. You should try and keep her awake, while I go see if anyone's in there."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZYceFWVFs
"Will do," he replied to his sire.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuabjqxCXd
She got to her feet and used the wall to hold herself up, as she staggered towards the door and opened it enough so they only saw one hand, her upper body, and unhurt leg. Then she leaned on the door and scanned the crowd within, stopping when she saw Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmdk0Jg0Ij
Caroline saw Katherine.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAVmigAoZQ
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Q18gBYi5
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpchzS9Czs
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWiLTwinNf
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09kBzFcJZL
"Let's go," Tyler said.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMMjKRBXwV
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKTfxRQqYf
They stopped by Rebekah.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUS0sbYIBl
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTbHLzWzFE
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe4WPBhF7J
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDZJr7PUax
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKl1ZBkXTg
"Katherine, hang in there. Damon's coming," Tyler instructed the Petrova vampiress, unsure of what to do or what else to say.
Damon hung up soon after.
Not long afterward, Damon arrived. He instantly went to stand in front of Katherine.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tg7E0EPyt
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu32P6Zw55
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBM1u7SUY6
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ZcpcMYGT
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48HgwZY9Ud
He caught her, as she lost her balance, unable to stand. And as he picked her up, he realized how weak she was. He felt her rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his neck.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3IMbZl6zN
"Stay awake, Kat," he instructed, as he sped towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Once inside, Damon gently sat her in Elena's recliner, while Tyler carried Rebekah upstairs to the guest room, which was formerly Ric's room, and before that, Elena's Aunt Jenna's room. Tyler and Caroline stayed with Rebekah, while Damon stayed in the living room with his sire. Elena stood by and watched.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOMTk8GVgR
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hd0RqPkJD
"Kat, stay with me."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksWPh1efjP
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQACOG3h7EW
"The Council shot them with arrows. Something's on them. We need Meredith over here. She might know what's on them and how to cure them. And you need to call Klaus. He'll want to know about his sister."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZELpOloWB
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3xDEmcEuy
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WG33lqDwm
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhNWfz4QzE
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RcMfxbvX8
"Let me try then," Klaus said. "Katerina, you have to stay awake. Think of your family. If you die now, you would've been fighting for nothing. You would've survived this long for nothing. You've been fighting for 500 years, Katerina. Don't give up now. You can't. We won't let you die," he told his former doppelganger, meaning it all. He had trust and faith in her now. And he cared about her. He then added to Elena, "I'm coming over to help. You'll have to invite me in. After this is all over though, you can uninvited me." He then hung up.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdRYlkDqTB
Half an hour later, he arrived and Elena invited him in. He walked into the living room and Damon stepped away, watching as he knelt in front of her.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqHHMLsUJl
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwb5cE2olU
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmGG6osfrd
"Klaus," she said back.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kBvXIt5fR
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGDatkXHhQ
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIbh2KHPsq
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Raa5CO0K
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu4GzT3GlJ
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeYoMKhVr3
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg5fudCj6E
So they did and both got better.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWQLEGalrf
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DobXT59vB
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLIHd6LkeE
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W5L6bj1Ys
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjOETkWsog
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I know how it feels. It's different for everyone, but I want to help you. You're my family, Elena. I may not show it, but I care. I really do care."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBZ3r53bSm
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TDYPRkM04
"I'm sorry, Elena. I would've been here if I didn't have hybrids on my tail. But I'm here to stay now. I'll help you in any way I can."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4lF8Z2Ygl
"You want the truth, Katherine? I'm tired. All I try to do is fight and do the right thing. But Damon said I have to drink from the vein. I don't want to and it's killing me, trying to not drink from the vein. He told me I can't drink animal blood and I can't. He said I could only drink from the vein and that's all I can do. I can't even keep Damon's blood down. What am I going to do?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS1ZEYFcUn
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MMtIc8ykp
"Yeah. Why?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq4KFJug6o
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDJ88KxxoC
"It can't be," Kat whispered.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIHjhvYdZI
"What?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRBymqta8x
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM8pjkho1I
"But what?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE8WBJ8i3W
"You're sired to Damon."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRlp0hdohp
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CQQIWxPdP
"I don't know, but it happens once in a while. It can be broken. We just have to convince him to free you from the sire bond."707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSjVSQZk88
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
