Summary: Set in S5E1. What if Damon saved Kat from Silas when he tried to drown her? What if the vervain made Caroline black out when she had that water?609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntohOmTflW
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, Virginia. Human Katherine was taking a bath upstairs in Damon's bathroom. She was alone in the Salvatore boarding house, because Damon was dealing with a Jeremy issue. She didn't know what issue it was, but she hoped he would be back soon in case any of her enemies came by to kill her tonight.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07bn7yiMJu
Silas, at the moment, pretending to be Stefan, walked into the bathroom.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXYKtrvoXn
"What are you doing in my brother's bathroom?" he asked her.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe9m4yvS6m
"Isn't it obvious?" she said playfully. "Come join me."609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zBVlpJAF3
He bent down by the tub.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDvqwrE8Qj
"You're human. That's good. You deserve it," he said to her, smiling.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KZIHULiAC
Knowing Stefan would never say something like that, she knew he had to be Silas. So she reached over to grab a knife that she had in the corner as a weapon for herself.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh7K8ciDSL
He grabbed her by the throat and her head slammed against a part of the tub.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqcpO2qlWz
"Now I get to kill you," he said.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl69ZSPVkc
She tried to fight him, as he held her under the water, hand around her throat, but he was immortal. He was much stronger than her.
When Damon walked in to see the scene, he through Silas away from her at vamp speed.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EoAPaxTVt
"Stay away from her," he warned Silas.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNjWv07PB7
Silas stared him down, before vanishing.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT4IYhoKA5
At vamp speed, Damon was by the tub. Without hesitation, he lifted her gently out of the tub and grabbed a white towel. He then layed it on the floor and gently layed her down on it.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1mD2x02Sg
"Katherine," he called to her. "It's me. Can you hear me, Kat? Katherine."609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWY2bgfxoK
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face and gently patted her cheek, trying to wake her.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXHTcWkRy4
"Katherine, wake up. Come on. I didn't save your life for you to die on me."609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIgZICypTk
She opened her eyes to see him, but she felt weak, light-headed, tired, and disoriented.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagVOr1LJpC
"Damon," she whispered.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZSP0EcKXq
"Hey," he greeted. "You're okay. You're alive."609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzixWtR64z1
"Thanks," she managed.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7CYbms6Qq
"You're welcome," he replied.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdejf4trwrm
A moment later, she blacked out.
When she awoke, she saw that she was in his bed in his room, fully clothed, Damon leaning in the doorway.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gzYswTVIp
She sat up.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotSryA6ppl
"You saved my life, Damon. Thank you."609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5S3BooVuv
"I know. For now, Silas has left."609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL2W8mCRjq
"Good."
Caroline and Elena were at college with Megan as a roommate. They didn't know their roommate and had hoped to see Bonnie. They didn't know where she was, because they hadn't heard from her or seen her on campus.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ODy5l82R
Megan and Elena weren't in the room. Elena had gone to check out a party, while Megan had gone to join the party. So Caroline decided to do a little snooping around in Megan's stuff. But then when she drank half a bottle of what said Vitamin water, she realized it was vervained water.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxanoxfOR2
She fell to the floor from weakness and the burning sensation. And as she fell, she dropped the bottle and the rest of the water spilled onto the floor and burned her hand and arm from touch. When it did, she screamed in pain. And because there was vervain in her system, the room spun. Then everything went black for her.
Elena walked into the room to tell her about the party, when she saw her best friend and smelled vervain.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwZpLaUZXe
Elena was instantly at her side.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXSxQSxxkD
"Caroline. Caroline, wake up. Caroline," she called, while hoping Megan wouldn't walk in to see the scene.
When she came to, Elena knew she'd be okay.
When the end of the day was over for everyone, Elena and Caroline went to bed, Jeremy and Damon kept an eye on Katherine, and everyone kept a look out for Silas.
