Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrd49kPTMy
It was a dark night, as Kohl chased after Elena and Jeremy in their lake house. He headed up the stairs towards the Gilberts and headed for Jeremy. Elena got in his way and Jeremy fell down the stairs.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoIXfEBnKe
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3iPJTII01
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXevgDIYpz
"Yes," she answered.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwXqBWWGna
He tried to get past her, but she didn't let him. He grabbed her and pinned her against a wall, before he broke a piece of wood off the railing and stabbed her with it.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgizFFTAu7L
As she slid down the wall, she watched as he knelt beside her only brother. Then she saw Jeremy and Kol start fighting, before they disappeared from her sight. Then she saw Katherine at the door.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztAPOxml9z
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Xkha6IDa
Come in, Elena thought back.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfYN7aYQXj
Katherine walked in and vanished to help Jeremy. She wanted to kill Kol but knew he needed to stay alive until Klaus came. He'd deal with Kol on his own terms.
Kol grabbed him and pinned him against the side of the bar.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0WecHBXlJ
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9B4fJE44O
With his free hand, he held a knife.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7hUG49oWM
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghi5lODGZD
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5BKQI1VXV
"Katherine," Kol greeted.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j2eHVAltJ
"Kol, it's been a while. Jeremy, are you okay? Kol, I'd like to kill you for hurting the last of my family and Elena's family, but I won't. I'll leave you for Klaus to deal with."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ860BgqvsfB
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkloBvIT0ow
"Because I just saved you."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QN0N6DoX9
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsZJbxizUr
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPTJ9kBI1V
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysNLPm1KJ0
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3hBgC2wDF
"You're welcome," she said.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP4k7an3yo
"I'm going out," he replied.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzI0U1DHXr
She watched him leave.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcswYEK8MK
As her strength began to ebb away, she knew she didn't have much time left. She let go of the bar and slid down it. She was dying from the hybrid bites. She had come here for help, because she needed the cure.
Elena entered the kitchen after healing, only to see that Katherine was the only one there. She could easily see that she was hurt and losing consciousness. She could smell blood, too.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WjF1hmuYE
Elena knelt in front of her and saw how pale she looked. She saw that she was sweating. That's when she knew that she had been bitten and needed the cure.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWseAhPHrmP
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu4nCdPspb
As Elena slid her hand under her to rest between her shoulder blades, and gently pulled her towards her, Katherine blacked out. She gently pulled the unconscious vampiress into her arms, and slid her free arm under her legs. Then, with vampire strength, Elena picked her up and headed for the door.
Once Katherine was in Damon's bed at the Salvatore boarding house, Elena got the cure from the cooler in the basement. She then made it go down her throat, until it was finished.
When Katherine woke up, she felt better. She saw that Elena was seated on her bedside.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWohdMt55M0
"Thank you," Katherine said.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY3hU09hOK
"You're welcome."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmrY1C4C3B
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm4mJF44Jn
"Thanks," Elena said.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2yUoRfNxy
"You're welcome, Elena."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPuP679RMf
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
