It was a dark night as Damon staggered through the Mystic Falls streets, very warm and sweating, not exactly himself. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae2MbzjFIC

Meanwhile, Katherine was out looking for her elder childe, having found that he was MIA.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXjgiPaptY

Once she found him, he began to hallucinate and pinned her to a pole, her back up against it.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KCN0mGg6c
"I choose you, Katherine."732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvlX0T4KYK
When he went for the side of her neck, she knew what he was hallucinating.

It was a dark night in the Mystic Falls woods, as Katherine stood with her back up against a tree, human Damon in front of her. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAguNZr4cVX
She used a fingernail to make a cut on her left collarbone. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp9cmKqVhW
"If you want it, take it," she instructed, teaching him something she had always done as long as she had been a vampire; take whatever you want, no matter the cost to others. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetzfdOHWi2
He bent towards the cut. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGKw8g6LCf
"I choose you, Katherine."732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurwMXSe0TP
She smiled.

She rested gentle but firm hands on either side of his head, making him stop, keeping him from biting her and making him look at her. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh9wcjErna
"You're hallucinating, Damon; stop," she said gently. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3h5kzCcfI
"Katherine?" he said, looking at her, realizing he had almost bitten her in the present, when he had hallucinated. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUlLWERaRe
"I'm here. It's okay. You didn't hurt me," she assured him. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB0ThEdE9U
He let her go and stepped back, which turned into a stagger. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFhW085olL
When he began to lose his balance from sudden weakness, she was instantly beside him and put an arm around him to help him. She then used her body weight to keep him on his feet. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYTYWCbsfI
"Let's go home," she stated.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DknRFsEUM

Half an hour later, he lay in bed with his sire wetting his face down with a cool wet wash cloth. He was very pale and weak. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI9JuYl3Af
As she sat beside him on his bed, she felt helpless. She was helpless next to him. She was his sire and girlfriend. She was supposed to protect or at least save him, but all she could do was watch him slowly and painfully die. Her only hope was for Stefan to get the cure and bring it in time. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAKtRoGMfz
"You should go. I could hurt you," he whispered. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTeCYpBLVx
"You won't. I'm here until the very end."732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIcQ5r6yL6
"I love you," he replied in susurration, thinking this may be the last time he'd get to say it. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhtiK0fHxx
"I love you, too."732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iTXeHuKIL
She bent down and kissed him, before pulling away. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YSyKnV0mP
He closed his eyes. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4KaLUpwim
"Thank...you," he managed to whisper. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEweG5cVSQx
A moment later, Klaus walked in with a vial of blood in hand.732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmMRselXSO
She sensed a presence, so she turned to look and was surprised that he was there with the cure, instead of Stefan. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vI3cN99Eg
"I hate to interrupt dear Katerina, but here you go," he said, walking over to her. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJDoq10NJg
She took it from him. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YvGdhSQpv
"Where's Stefan?" she questioned. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpiGyX6G4D
"Oh, he's paying for this; bringing out his inner demons. See you around, Katerina," he replied, before vanishing. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNFmc9AX7R
She turned back to Damon and uncorked the vial, before putting it to his lips, making the blood go down his throat. 732Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2NdpMHhrv

Half an hour later he came to, cured, and she told him what he had missed. Now it was time to get Stefan back on track.
