Summary: Set in S4 when Elena and Jeremy kill Kol. What if Katherine had shown up? What if things had gone differently?629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2He0Y9qeJ
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.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDcN7szG9J
"Stay away from my brother," she greeted, as she stood in front of the Original brother.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s9KY0iKVI
"Or what? You'll kill me?" he replied.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYbNm2rehz
"Yes," she answered.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tMrrBrd9B
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.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFkdhycMiD
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.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI71dZV7Kd
Invite me in and I'll help you two. Please, Elena, Katherine thought to her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vO9faOqrl
Come in, Elena thought back.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTeQL4m88Q
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.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NWEs6wwtU
"I know I can't kill you, but I sure as hell can torture you."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzQU6jHGDd
With his free hand, he held a knife.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUPniXzvV7
"I think I'll start with your hand," he added.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncS8ytyJGw
"I think not," Katherine said, as she kicked him off Jeremy, before she pinned him against the fridge.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSoRmHegmj
"Katherine," Kol greeted.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheq7zUS3D6
"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."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ww0lxVltB
"Yes, but why do you care?" Jeremy answered her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWElTIepX1
"Because I just saved you."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsBxO5UiFk
Klaus stood at the door and Katherine let him go.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk5nTXeHZb
"Come out, brother, and we'll settle this like brothers."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW0rcgt3zU
Kol left the house and the brothers vanished.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oBpUxx7gd
Katherine looked at Jeremy, as she put a hand on the bar.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBtFypT5Fa
"You're welcome," she said.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4HoBmDBUf
"I'm going out," he replied.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOlaAphQ8U
She watched him leave.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXOiIRz4W2
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.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZJ8epkXVv
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.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pcDD4nv04
"Katherine, hang in there. I'll get you the cure," Elena promised.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR5iyrCfMd
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.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L9hZ90695
"Thank you," Katherine said.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQxWMp2eZ7
"You're welcome."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAeuKK11np
Katherine sat up in bed and looked at her.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau9QA8ywZZ
"Thanks," Elena said.629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5b1V5vamz
"You're welcome, Elena."629Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ134brj6U
Katherine gave her a friendly smile.
