Summary: What if Katherine had come back in town in enough time to save Elena, and maybe Matt? Will she get there in time? Will she save them both? After making the car go off the bridge, will Rebekah have the heart to save Matt, or will she leave him to die with Elena?634Please respect copyright.PENANAnV1FZV2gRh
It was a dark night, as Bonnie and Damon were at a storage unit in a storage shed where Klaus was. They stood there watching him, looking down at his burnt body. Then he opened his eyes.634Please respect copyright.PENANAKm801I4nyz
"There's the crispy fried Original," Damon said.634Please respect copyright.PENANAiZJOzHLz95
"Could you give me a minute?" Bonnie asked him, looking at the easy-going vampire.634Please respect copyright.PENANAj9tLmW1f8S
"Of course," he answered her.634Please respect copyright.PENANANooVmeNuLH
He closed the door to the shed and walked off.
Vampire Alaric walked into the storage room, looking for Klaus but saw Damon. He snuck up behind him and put an arm around his throat in a tight hold.634Please respect copyright.PENANAeCuF6LHosj
"Where's Klaus?"634Please respect copyright.PENANA43Dz28Rceh
"How'd you find where he is?"634Please respect copyright.PENANAX7FWF1TPjW
"Answer the question."634Please respect copyright.PENANAAqeR9Xe0cF
"Unit three number 10210," he lied.634Please respect copyright.PENANAEm8dKbvecl
After getting what he needed, he tightened some more, which made him pass out. He let go and let him fall to the ground on his back. Then he walked towards unit three and started searching, opening up storage sheds as he went.
Meanwhile, Bonnie had Klaus who was still in his coffin, in the back of a car and was seated in the passenger's seat, waiting for Damon and Rebekah so they could leave. She then called up Rebekah when she didn't get a hold of Damon.634Please respect copyright.PENANAjKUVSucTWu
"I'm just outside. What do you want?"634Please respect copyright.PENANAzJi22vNiZP
"I'm waiting for you two so we can leave," Bonnie replied.634Please respect copyright.PENANAEZkuZlc8b2
"Go ahead. We'll meet you there," she said before hanging up.634Please respect copyright.PENANAAipnsJZ87y
She put her cell phone away before entering the building.634Please respect copyright.PENANAtqJ4urFWdG
"Damon?" she called.634Please respect copyright.PENANA7RKUqnkkai
There was silence.634Please respect copyright.PENANAW8EDM4jEXs
"This isn't funny, Damon," she added.634Please respect copyright.PENANAmfTcEOP6b4
A moment after she added that, she saw him passed out on the cement floor. She ran to and knelt beside him. She was wary while making sure he was okay or going to be okay. Someone else besides them was here.634Please respect copyright.PENANAxBuTrCiaIc
"Damon?" she called to him. "Come on, Damon. Wake up."634Please respect copyright.PENANAoswUReSlQf
She softly slapped him on the cheek.634Please respect copyright.PENANAVHFXgrDjIm
He groaned and then came to, looking up at her.634Please respect copyright.PENANAgPd4W8KeQb
"You're here."634Please respect copyright.PENANAAAW2EaJF5E
"I've been here for the last five minutes," she answered, as he slowly sat up.634Please respect copyright.PENANAdKzHLsMqBa
"We got to go. Ric's here. And he's intent on killing Originals first. You're in danger if he gets anywhere near you. Come on."634Please respect copyright.PENANAkX6392APPu
A moment later, they were running.
Bonnie was about to drive off, when Alaric arrived.634Please respect copyright.PENANAyksDtQBAqY
"Hello, Bonnie."634Please respect copyright.PENANA31k18m7sMo
"Alaric."634Please respect copyright.PENANAnLgmyQ9Jtz
"Why don't you be kind and hand me Klaus."634Please respect copyright.PENANAr3RfnIyWVi
"So you can kill him? No."634Please respect copyright.PENANAt3Ma7OW3j0
"No? I thought we were friends. Come on. I have to kill him and the rest of his family so I can kill the rest of the vampire race. That is if you want. Right? To have a normal life without vampires to ruin everything?"634Please respect copyright.PENANAk11Zyy1HW1
"Go rot in hell," she retorted.
"I like the choice of words," Damon said, Rebekah at his side.634Please respect copyright.PENANAd8v4OFSfEr
Alaric looked at him.634Please respect copyright.PENANAUPjEYlWiLP
"Glad you made it."634Please respect copyright.PENANAe1MgXvYDQb
He opened up the back of the car and then opened up his coffin. Klaus looked up at him before he plunged the stake into his heart and they all watched Klaus burn in flames.634Please respect copyright.PENANAqYeKdcUZjf
"No!" Rebekah half yelled and half sobbed. Then, before Damon could stop her, she ran towards Alaric as Alaric closed the lid to the burning Original. She grabbed him and through him hard, acting on revenge, before Damon grabbed her.634Please respect copyright.PENANAlIclFISENt
"Get in the car," he said.634Please respect copyright.PENANADRhSOMH3YU
"No," she replied, before running off at vamp speed.634Please respect copyright.PENANA6HsYEf0OQG
"Okay. Be stubborn then," he said, and then thought to Bonnie, Go home. I'll handle Ric.634Please respect copyright.PENANADA4fsC2KwB
A moment later, Bonnie drove out, heading back to Mystic Falls, her destination being her home.634Please respect copyright.PENANAtg7JBbN7aq
Damon and Alaric faced off, ready to fight.
Back at Mystic Falls, Rebekah was in the woods on the phone with Stefan.634Please respect copyright.PENANA5eBlztPzPI
"Elijah just told me everything. Oh, and Klaus is dead. Alaric killed him. Without him, I'm nothing. He deserves to die for what he did. You know the only way he'll die," she told him.634Please respect copyright.PENANAJfHc8ADj07
"Rebekah, don't do this," was all Stefan got out before she hung up on him.
It was a dark night, as Matt drove Elena in his truck, heading out of town. Elena wasn't completely okay with it, but she had talked to Stefan and she was getting ready to call Damon.
Damon thought Ric was going to fight him, but he didn't. He punched him to the ground once and then he walked away.634Please respect copyright.PENANA2hxismU8XO
Damon answered his phone.634Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vvx073flw
"Hello, Elena."634Please respect copyright.PENANALmUwrdprOG
"I heard. Do you feel anything?"634Please respect copyright.PENANAhmo5Li3MZu
"Not yet. But since I might be a dead man, if you had to choose, who would it be? Who would be the one to get the good-bye?"634Please respect copyright.PENANAAUEFGoQX2I
"I love you, Damon. But I never stopped loving Stefan. I love you both. I don't want to choose, but if I had to, I would choose you. I love you. I had my time with Stefan, but as much as I still love him, he hurt me so much. That's something I don't know if I can forgive. Not right now."634Please respect copyright.PENANA7FcFZWnUFD
Suddenly, Elena saw Rebecca standing in the middle of the road on the bridge.634Please respect copyright.PENANAjd6lreejdf
"Matt, watch out!" she yelled.634Please respect copyright.PENANAeoj2cpjsNV
He slammed on the brakes and swerved to avoid hitting Klaus' sister. He tried to stay on the road at the same time, but didn't succeed. The truck fell off the bridge and plummeted into the ice-cold water below.634Please respect copyright.PENANAh8BlN3MMd7
Damon heard everything. He hung up and ran towards Mystic Falls at vamp speed.
A few minutes later, Rebekah made a life changing decision. She dove under the water towards the truck and pulled Matt out, closing the door behind her so Elena couldn't get out.634Please respect copyright.PENANAnefWY8zhZW
A moment later, she was out of sight with Matt and on her way home.
Katherine had just arrived back in town and was walking down the road on her way to Elena's, when she saw what had happened with her own eyes, which never deceived her. She stopped in the middle of the bridge and took her jacket off before diving in and swimming towards the truck. She knew Elena was still in there.
When she got there, she knew she was dead, but she didn't care. She dove inside the truck, put a gentle arm around her, and swam to the surface with her.634Please respect copyright.PENANAjPsE8r2RF9
Just as she surfaced with her, Damon arrived on the bridge. When he saw her, he took Elena from her and got her onto the bridge. He gently layed her down and did heart compressions to try and revive her.634Please respect copyright.PENANA5aiwRqnZWC
"Come on, Elena. Come on," he pleaded, knelt beside her.
Five minutes later, she coughed and then looked up at him.634Please respect copyright.PENANAFUK8bHZ1Kp
"Damon."634Please respect copyright.PENANAHrXyAcjdGf
"Elena."634Please respect copyright.PENANApx4wDTrVt1
Suddenly, Elena realized something after he helped her to her feet and put his dry jacket around her.634Please respect copyright.PENANAKZACt30t17
"Katherine. Where is she?"634Please respect copyright.PENANAtbH8mh6CnF
Damon looked at the water.634Please respect copyright.PENANAoEfyEmysHQ
"She was there. I'll go find her. Get yourself home. Call Stefan if you have to," he said before jumping into the water in search of her.634Please respect copyright.PENANAYwJyY7KH7M
He soon spotted her leaned against a post underneath the bridge, eyes closed.634Please respect copyright.PENANAID4dAr6aIW
"Katherine?"634Please respect copyright.PENANA6pFQzQW6L4
He swam towards her.634Please respect copyright.PENANAp7zJFbiFc8
When he got to her, he saw a stake in her abdomen. She was bleeding out heavily and as he looked at her. She was pale with blue lips and cracked-looking skin. That's when he knew she was dying. Her last deed had been to save Elena. And she had. Now he had to save his Sire.634Please respect copyright.PENANAlsX1AkxcGY
"Hold on, Kat," he pleaded to her before gently picking her up and carrying her in his arms, running towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Jeremy walked into the living room when he saw Alaric.634Please respect copyright.PENANA3LX7h1UDoK
"How'd you get in here?" he asked.
"Easy. I'm a ghost. I just had to tell you that I will always be with you, before I go to where I belong now. I'll be here whenever you need me. I'll always be there for you no matter what. Take care."634Please respect copyright.PENANAPd78TaOSpU
And with that, he vanished into thin air.
A few minutes after Elena walked in, Damon rushed in into the living room with a dying Kat in his arms.634Please respect copyright.PENANAHkPxOsZNMY
"Damon?" Elena questioned, as he layed his sire down on the couch and then bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, positioning Kat's head gently back, as to make his blood go down her throat.634Please respect copyright.PENANACX3pSQ6yJM
"Jeremy, grab a towel. Elena, pull it out," Damon ordered.
A moment later, she pulled it out and Jeremy gave his sister a towel. She immediately applied pressure to the wound with the towel to stop the bleeding.
A few minutes later, her wound healed and Kat came to.634Please respect copyright.PENANA6YntwxJse6
As Kat fed on Damon's blood, Elena had Jeremy put the towel in the washer. So everybody lived happily ever after.
