It was late afternoon, as Katherine Pierce tried to get to where she was now staying at; her apartment. She was worn out, though. She had gotten herself attacked; shot. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She only knew that she wasn't healing and she was weak. She didn't want to be seen like this, so she wanted to try and get inside her apartment.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtYrzI0Ew2
Suddenly, she felt weaker and then felt the ground. She then sat against a vehicle, as her vision started to fade away.
When Elena smelled her scent, she followed it. It was an almost faint scent, though.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgiBk0xOzo
When she saw her sitting against a white Minivan, she started forward, unsure if she was playing one of her games or not. Her head was down, but she could see her eyes were closed. She could smell a small scent of blood, too.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ9Yn9bU2L
Suddenly, Damon Salvatore was at her side and grabbed her arm.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ38Og2GJl
"Elena, go. Find Rebekah. We're leaving."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2SoDNC7AO
He watched her vanish, before rushing to Kat's side at vamp speed.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd4G7lrLdm
He knelt in front of her.
"Katherine?" he called.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCIRDhrooM
She groaned.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnVGbvXr8b
He scanned her with his eyes and saw that she was hurt. Her wounds were bleeding a little and she wasn't healing. He knew from the sire bond that she was dying.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUgxb6XEP5
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet with her in his arms.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy3oWeEb5G
"You'll be okay, Katherine," he promised. "Just stay with me."

At vamp speed, he was by his car he had parked not far away. He then opened the passenger's door and gently sat her in the passenger's seat, before closing the door and going around the other side to get in the driver's seat.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhjsRNogUB
Once inside, he looked over at his sire.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx72QdPTc2i
"Hang in there, Kat," he said, using his old nickname for her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrZE3wMdnp
A moment later, Elena and Rebekah got in the back seat and closed their doors.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0eM4HEcKx
"Why are we saving Katherine?" Rebekah asked, as Damon drove as fast as he could back to Mystic Falls.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvymHqQi6dq
"One, she's the only one that knows where the cure is. Two, we need her for more than one reason."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jWHOOxCes
"You make it sound like she's older and knows more than I do."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iM0cUNpzx
"Technically, she knows more than you," he answered Rebekah.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSCe9CYY4A
Elena was silent.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm5QJSW8gl
There was another reason Damon was saving her, but he wasn't going to tell either of the vampiressess. He knew they wouldn't like it. The last reason he was saving her was because he cared about her. He didn't want to watch his sire die.
Once at home, Elena followed Damon inside the boarding house. She then stopped in the living room and watched him lay Katherine gently down on the couch.
When Katherine awoke, she was in the living room on the couch, Damon by the couch, Elena standing by the fireplace.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b9D9QZQoL
"Katherine," he greeted.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeI2aQX2UI
"Damon," she greeted back.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvA5AB9JEG
They smiled at one another.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLssNhKwMkS
She sat up, feeling like herself again.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi5TA8PDAg
"Thanks," she said to him.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbifjeUEeHD
"You're welcome," he replied.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhseUo5A3ed
He helped her to her feet.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIJlKORmMb
Katherine and Damon looked at one another.
