It was a nebulous night at the Salvatore boarding house, as human Katherine set the empty shot glass down on Damon’s drinking table.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI6gOa2Cjh
“You’re miserable,” Damon stated.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckQkPhWLFo
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor.”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf7hAcvjIo
“You’re a liar. Your hair’s messed up, your nails are chipped. You’re a sad, miserable human being and you want me to turn you. So, here.” He bit his wrist and offered it to her.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1PfxxPeR0
She gripped his arm, but hesitated.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkgEEi7uNk
“Go ahead, drink up. I’ll kill you, you’ll bit the mailman, you’ll be a vampire again. Go ahead, come on,” he encouraged.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZbppqH3gV
She let go and looked at him.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe9Kra7czW
“I can’t, okay? No one’s ever taken the cure before. If I die, there’s a good chance I may never wake up.”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tYCB8XKa3
“And that would be tragic,” he commented, not caring.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hdpx8QPSl
“And deep down, in that mushy-gushy Elena-loving heart, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want me to die,” she said, standing in front of him, a hand on his chest. Then she stepped back. “I have enemies everywhere. What happens when word gets out that I’m a human? I can’t protect myself. I’m weak and I’m slow. Do you have any idea what it’s like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon. Please, just…help me,” she pleaded with him.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQZmc9FEB9
He looked at her in silence, debating on what to do. She was right, because they would always have a connection. He hated that and her, but he couldn’t deny it.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiGnrTmoFY
“Fine. I’ll protect you,” he stated, not sure if it was a promise or not.

She silently watched, as he walked out of the living room. She knew why, too. She’d broken his heart so many times that he hated her. He hated what she’d done when she’d been a vampire. Now that she had humanity, she found herself wanting to apologize and to tell the truth to him, instead of lying to him. She knew that he wouldn’t believe her, though.

It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the car after having tried to run when Damon had tried handing her over to Silas. She tried to stay awake despite her injuries, but knew if she wasn’t found soon, her injuries would kill her.

About forty minutes later, he finally found his wrecked car with Katherine still inside. He could smell blood, even from a distance. He blurred to her side of the car, and saw that she was quite injured. There was a shard of glass in her thigh and side. Her wrist was cut from a few small pieces of glass by her on the seat. There was blood on either side of her head, too.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBWo2Sji7J
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tqz4rLpYM
“I’m so sorry, Katherine,” he apologized, though he didn’t know if she could hear him. “Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes if you can hear me.”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAwPuzIpzO
He waited for a few minutes, but didn’t get anything from her.

He took his hands away and pulled out both shards of glass, and tossed them to the ground. He then gently picked her up in his arms and blurred towards the hospital. As he did, he could tell that she had and was still losing a lot of blood, not to mention the artery in her thigh had been opened by the shard of glass he’d pulled out, and she was very pale.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuL6ilbKdu
This is my fault. Just hang on. Don’t die on me, he thought, knowing if he didn’t get her to the hospital soon, she was going to die.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTj7PxIIlE
“Stay with me, Katherine,” he said. “Please.”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcj8yt9YKX
He blurred to the hospital, hoping she’d live.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWi3p60Cdb

Half an hour later, he walked into the hospital with her in his arms, which Meredith saw. Damon saw an unused bed in the hallway and gently layed her down on it.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgD1JHLT3F
Meredith came over.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRkb2707Ns
“What happened?”578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JOLLHGyFq
“She wrecked my car and got herself injured in the process. I’ll explain later, but this is my fault,” he summarized.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE39Ob8XeOy
Meredith knew he wasn’t telling her everything, but didn’t question him. Right now, all that mattered was saving Katherine’s life.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQgBUlBT5l
She put a breathing mask on her.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWh1dXiKfd
“I’ll let you know how it goes,” she told him.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruwL0jvimm

Half an hour later, he was in the waiting room, while Katherine was in surgery. He hoped that she’d be okay, but he didn’t know what extent her injuries were. He wasn’t a doctor. All he knew was how to tend to wounds.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkqggSfn5c
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE76zQ2qYu
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKSAY4ROXf
A few hours later, Meredith informed him that she’d be okay and he went to her room.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KwtHXiw9g
He sat on her bedside with a gentle hand on the side of her face, looking down at her, glad that she was alive, and waited for her to wake up.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIOoFuxos1
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n2CduMNPD

An hour later, she woke up and they settled things between each other, and he took her home. And so their love story continued.
