Katherine woke up later that night, having gotten her neck snapped, feeling as if she had been vervained. She felt weak and realized that she was tied to a post in an old barn. She saw that Stefan was there with a dagger in one hand and his phone in the other, which meant that he had done this to her. 658Please respect copyright.PENANA7SNReDdnSg
"What are you doing, Stefan?" she weakly asked him. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAolAUXoGQMy
"Klaus is being stubborn, so I'm going to make him see it my way. He wants you alive. Otherwise, he would've killed you when he had the chance. You're leverage."658Please respect copyright.PENANAoXegdvtnLv
She knew what he was getting at. Klaus didn't want to hand his family coffins over, so Stefan was resorting to drastic measures. If Klaus didn't hand them over or make the deal to do so, Stefan would kill her; his own sire. Once again, her life was hanging in the balance. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAjIiXfzcgJJ
She watched, as he called someone, over-hearing both sides, because of her vampire hearing. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAJJN53XkWw6
"Where are you?" Klaus asked. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAbTqrJxToIu
"I'll give you a hint. I'm in the middle of nowhere with Katherine. Now, I want you to hand over those coffins," he replied, as he walked over to his sire.658Please respect copyright.PENANAVyf4jlNtaM
"Why should I?"658Please respect copyright.PENANAhvitByC5ot
"Because if you don't, Katherine won't live to see tomorrow."658Please respect copyright.PENANAeY14uOU6as
Careful to not let the blade or dagger touch him, he stabbed her in the chest.658Please respect copyright.PENANAZbL573JXCd
"What did you do?" Klaus asked, hearing Katerina in pain. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAL2DeVNkZp2
"I stabbed her in the chest. Sure, that won't kill her alone, but dip werewolf poison in a dagger and it's just as effective as a werewolf bite. Or move it closer and it'll go right through her heart."658Please respect copyright.PENANAbaf3iICneu
"No," she said weakly, knowing she was dying. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAohaxZ1k9Cd
"You wouldn't kill your sire," Klaus said. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAdSFyYmM1sm
"You wanna bet?" Stefan replied. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAhSCqYSE5iH
"I know my brother better than anyone and right now, I don't know how far he's willing to go. So when he tells you to blink, I suggest you blink," Damon said. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAxJkLRri8x0
"Do we have a deal or not?" Stefan asked. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAbPEfsPrLAD
"Yes; we have a deal," Klaus replied. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAICdMeCCgPc
"Good. You'll find her in the barn. I'll leave the cure here," Stefan informed them, before hanging up. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAW23LJ0b2nX
Stefan pulled the dagger out and then left the cure on a stack of hay by the door, before vanishing. 658Please respect copyright.PENANA37rz6cFJfw

Damon arrived in the barn to see Katherine tied to a post, out cold, head down and pale, a vial of the cure not far away.658Please respect copyright.PENANAf0yu7lkFR6
He was instantly in front of her. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAhT58puIRCW
He gently rested a hand between her shoulder blades and used his free hand to snap the ropes. He then caught her, arm under her head, hand between her shoulder blades, holding her up. He then gently layed her down on the ground on her back to retrieve the vial. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAm6bbt9RI9V
He knelt at her side when he had the cure in hand, and put it to her lips, making the blood go down her throat to save her life. 658Please respect copyright.PENANAngyyYxgZJR
When it was finished, he gently picked her up in his arms and then vanished for home.658Please respect copyright.PENANAShNBGPEJL7
