It was a dark night, as Katherine reached the compound, limping, vision going grey, heavily bleeding from her wounds. And once on the Mikaelson doorstep, she felt something hard beneath her, vision going black.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP6r0c8y52

Klaus on his way out when he smell blood; human blood. And once he opened the door, he was shocked to see a very human Katerina on her back on the porch.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhckvwP92o2
He knelt down beside her.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKGjl5Ugis
“Katerina?” he called, as he assessed her condition and wounds with his eyes.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtIzgPF3VI
“Klaus…” she murmured, barely awake.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbeHlkNThu
He pulled her gently into his arms.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihxKF85eP1
“I’m here, luv,” he assured her.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdQNIRpK3m
He got to his feet with her in his arms and hybrid-sped inside to his room.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VTqFMKI2p

By the time he had gently layed her down on her back on his bed, she had blacked out.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ320HRyB3Of
He sat on her bedside and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her after what looked to be a vampire attack, hoping it would work, knowing that she had gotten the cure shoved down her throat.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmahL5ESORd
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and her wounds and his wrist healed.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRFcdiJR3b
He sighed in relief, glad that she would live to see another day. He had never shown it, but he had always secretly loved her and cared about her.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0GKAn0GT6
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face, looking down at her, and waited for her to awaken.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ292bi1ChfI

When she woke up, it was still dark outside and she was in Klaus’ room, who was seated on her bedside, looking down at her like he cared for her.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCZnyDdhj2
“Tell me who did that to you,” he said, before she could say anything.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfxbZh8ECm
“It was a vampire. That’s all I know. Why didn’t you kill me when you had the chance? I’m not worth anything to you anymore. I’m useless to you; especially, now that I’m a weak, helpless human.”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GVGM9WSor
“Is it so hard to believe that I care about what happens to you?” he questioned her.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUQRddC0oH
“Yes.”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkdkDgnxtD
“Apart from what I did 500 years ago, why?”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBakCKiLUy
“Because like me, you’ll always be that monster,” she replied.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIY80kK7Hb
“Is that really what you think of me? A monster? I saved your life tonight. I even refrained from showing up back in Mystic Falls to see you. I kept my distance, despite your change.”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WjHXpj0xU
“If you want to help me, then do it. All I’ve had this summer is fear, loneliness, and hatred.”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEzsu4wbRf
“Then I’ll help you. Despite what you think, we are alike, you and I.”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnanWQhfAj
She gave a smile.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy17KVHhUA
“That we are.”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIAiIY3b8l
He smiled back.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOLNuqp6CQ
A moment later, they were kissing with him on top.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW9c9HvpzQ
