Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYi9WvgrUZ
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil60lWVqrD
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiL1ucRdGI
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzCZdkMZE2
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT2A03bv6s
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D5sF1muAl
"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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxn0nbRxDv
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTWrd4AOwT
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ArGNqvhIo
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWNYTX6Dqe
"Drink."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrBeywR4pi
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzNwqgaemK
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg83XNdUpU5
"Thank you."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2krSm6VT6
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfZA3L4N8p
"You won't. I promise."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkd5ll6VC2
"Good."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv80G39tCP1
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEjn4RVs0U
"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."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c18IurcZi
"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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70bsiYvNBv
Suddenly, arrows started flying.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZSOrMtIpb
"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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrc4cGWeLI
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNAO7Lwtoq
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTWfbPuee9
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQRvFDMyC5
"It's us," Kat answered him.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbaHIWSfTD
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROB3VkFLo3
"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."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzOJ4Khg2b
"Will do," he replied to his sire.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN23QLDglu
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQE8kQeKbb
Caroline saw Katherine.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzI2MEz4vY
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCkAZh79Ma
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uFehinfWI
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHNXIhZqyC
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXylJq9XiY
"Let's go," Tyler said.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnLO7T2I8I
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5NXt4tlrR
They stopped by Rebekah.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAt4Nb2DdV
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjYjV0wgRQ
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHapTXAHOGu
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGfLxupiJu
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUGXrNyFRX
"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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoRhoOytZo
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNgpkP3v2o
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TKpD3DsSW
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21dBnIhSBd
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBM9pxpP2Y
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodI9bARd6j
"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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLmPhr31hL
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk00TP7MqE
"Kat, stay with me."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KzDnxlDd5
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4108sqa2n
"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."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfjr6UNfDG
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMGhvqHRII
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrtr2iKJjv
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ2yT2x5Sr
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4zkklP542
"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.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrcJc7N2hr
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKTXlNcHfC
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4NprzmVoG
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOfw7autbT
"Klaus," she said back.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMkdrTmO43
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9G86h1DhG
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6XJsVmElZ
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpeRCcLBB4
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqzvTsCJdO
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV5c7C1O90
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMl6uKxLkU
So they did and both got better.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wAg6m2KFZ
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3oTbVMs7u
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ0IUG7k1u
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgA6c8dMqA
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnfy7Nc0kD
"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."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjSjtSTUwS
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNckyCYmL1
"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."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9SV4rnb66
"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?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedaqs3N5R1
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWbEv7ze5i
"Yeah. Why?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWu4P5ZeRT
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJEPYdeMkr
"It can't be," Kat whispered.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz2SA0zxOV
"What?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtobiXalKG
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffL7cTDiaD
"But what?"640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0u1U9QaLj
"You're sired to Damon."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYLXcyadXE
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFkuo5oUnF
"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."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFXcZDtW16
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
