Summary: Revised version of S4 when the Founding Families went after Rebekah and others. But Kat comes back to town.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiJWX279vU
It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce staggered into the Mikaelson house and upstairs.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmfOkJcaTV
When she got to the room, she leaned against the threshold to stay on her feet.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6W5ZRc8Xw
"Rebekah, where's Klaus?" she asked.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmou1Kbc2b3
Rebekah set a bag of blood on the table, still angry after the fight with her brother. She then turned around.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZwnDoUZYL
"Why? And what are you doing here?" she asked in a not so nice voice.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT2vrZLxrO
"I was bitten by the hybrids he sent after me. I need your help. I need his blood; the cure. Please, Rebekah," she said, almost begging the Original sister.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3HZ3pww2l
"He's not the only one that'll cure that. So can I," Rebekah revealed to her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V63x8cVTV
"Then help me," Katherine said, half walking half staggering into the room.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Qhm98VRW
Rebekah was instantly in front of her. She bit her wrist and held it out to her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZpA8c854l
"Drink."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM482VL0cKv
She watched the doppelganger vampiress drink.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLJkQXYpg5
Once she had had enough, the vampiress stopped and looked at her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Ss3NfXJi
"Thank you."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6blHQdbIXl
"Don't make me regret it," Rebekah responded.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJvQ4Pg1XU
"You won't. I promise."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5CQArco6A
"Good."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhLdXZNSL4
"So what have I missed since I've been gone?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnOcx5wxeJ
"A lot; Alaric was turned by mother and alerted the council. They want us all dead I guess. But Alaric is dead now, Stefan is trying to get back to his old habits, and I killed Elena and almost Matt. I wanted Alaric dead and Elena was tied to him. I thought Alaric killed my brother. Now Elena's a vampire. Apparently, she had Damon's blood in her system. And I didn't know that."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Z7TU3P2L
"Wow. I missed a lot," is all she could say to that. Since Rebekah hadn't known, she couldn't be mad at her for Elena turning into a vampire.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡienBQxWQ31
Suddenly, arrows started flying.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnzrXaTCDL
"Get the blood and vervain! Just in case! Then we have to go!" Katherine yelled and grabbed the blood, putt it in a bag. Rebekah obeyed and did the same with the vervain, putting it in the same bag.
They made it outside the Mystic Grille, before everything started to unfocus for Katherine, and Rebekah grew pale and weak. Rebekah had taken an arrow in the middle of her chest, while Katherine had taken an arrow in the leg.
Rebekah slid down the wall to sit down, while Katherine set the bag down and knelt beside her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoui890oJrE
"Rebekah, hang in there," she encouraged the Original.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7aACOUI80
She took out Rebekah's cell phone and called one of the Salvatore brothers.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1mQaadAzH
"Rebekah?" Damon questioned in surprise.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebEuSqxrxa
"It's us," Kat answered him.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGWbHBjKKN
"What are you doing with Rebekah?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx67fuqZwo
"She saved my life. Then we had to leave. We got shot with arrows; me in the leg and Rebekah in the chest. But we're both still alive. We're right outside the Mystic Grille. We need help, Damon. Something was on them. You should try and keep her awake, while I go see if anyone's in there."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz3CiMvKlM
"Will do," he replied to his sire.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXVRanFKa4
She got to her feet and used the wall to hold herself up, as she staggered towards the door and opened it enough so they only saw one hand, her upper body, and unhurt leg. Then she leaned on the door and scanned the crowd within, stopping when she saw Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH95YdJaeDZ
Caroline saw Katherine.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM8wkhBFoG
"Tyler," she informed him. "Katherine's back. Something's wrong."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLseQgY0ZW
He looked over his shoulder to see her. Caroline was right. The vampiress didn't look good. It looked like she could barely walk.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4v3yqMx05
They got to their feet and briskly walked towards her, stopping once they stood in front of her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt6KDnyR4f
"We need help. Rebekah and I were at Klaus' place. She cured me before arrows got us. Damon's on his way."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6zM8Y90vS
"Let's go," Tyler said.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c9N08MHz8
All three walked in, Caroline closing the door behind herself.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY0NdTsfmq
They stopped by Rebekah.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtfIggBHPi
"Damon, Tyler and Caroline are here," Kat told her childe.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5dU0bRMPG
Kat started to get blurry vision and swayed.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O4F6UebQv
"Caroline, see what you can do for Rebecca," Tyler said. He then added, "You better hurry, Damon. Katherine's not looking that great."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVhuGBUSxA
Tyler stood in front of Kat, while Caroline knelt beside Klaus' only sister.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bW04AEfzu
"Katherine, hang in there. Damon's coming," Tyler instructed the Petrova vampiress, unsure of what to do or what else to say.
Damon hung up soon after.
Not long afterward, Damon arrived. He instantly went to stand in front of Katherine.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpVJgXmVRB
"Tyler, get Rebekah to Elena's. I'll meet you there. Caroline, get that arrow out of Rebekah."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4zc1c3iJu
Both obeyed, leaving him with Kat.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbkZMoNkkH
He pulled the arrow out of her leg and she gasped in pain, as her vision got worst.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j9MVAr08r
"Kat, look at me. Focus. Kat," he tried with no avail.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9kOTcf9IV
He caught her, as she lost her balance, unable to stand. And as he picked her up, he realized how weak she was. He felt her rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her arms around his neck.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOehmGzsod2
"Stay awake, Kat," he instructed, as he sped towards Elena's at vamp speed.
Once inside, Damon gently sat her in Elena's recliner, while Tyler carried Rebekah upstairs to the guest room, which was formerly Ric's room, and before that, Elena's Aunt Jenna's room. Tyler and Caroline stayed with Rebekah, while Damon stayed in the living room with his sire. Elena stood by and watched.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AJhDv6Hel
Damon knelt in front of his Sire.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY87rI0fXZt
"Kat, stay with me."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDSHkCYnj2
"What happened?" Elena questioned her sire.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauRo5nwe9W
"The Council shot them with arrows. Something's on them. We need Meredith over here. She might know what's on them and how to cure them. And you need to call Klaus. He'll want to know about his sister."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDubeKeuyk
Elena left the room to get her phone and call Meredith Fell and Niklaus.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAMXiEwji2
Damon kept trying to keep Kat awake.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxNI6tDeMk
When Elena came back, she had Klaus on the phone on speaker. She set the phone down on the end table.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzaIOZucrE
"How's Katerina?" Klaus asked, having been filled in.
"Not good," Elena replied.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaux3t0yYII
"Let me try then," Klaus said. "Katerina, you have to stay awake. Think of your family. If you die now, you would've been fighting for nothing. You would've survived this long for nothing. You've been fighting for 500 years, Katerina. Don't give up now. You can't. We won't let you die," he told his former doppelganger, meaning it all. He had trust and faith in her now. And he cared about her. He then added to Elena, "I'm coming over to help. You'll have to invite me in. After this is all over though, you can uninvited me." He then hung up.
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG8kA4ygvJ
Half an hour later, he arrived and Elena invited him in. He walked into the living room and Damon stepped away, watching as he knelt in front of her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg7Ivdm1KT
"Katerina," Klaus said, looking at her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVU0PZL1qo
She looked back at him, not knowing why he suddenly cared if she lived or died.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX9yIiIzrh
"Klaus," she said back.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MM3r1mane
Meredith soon arrived and started looking at the arrows.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUJgu5Ugb2
Damon and Elena left the room to leave them be.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEQlmoZK0D
Elena and Damon entered the kitchen where Meredith stood by the bar.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwLktpOdJl
"The tips are laced with a high volume of vervain," she told the vampires.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkC3u7tuCE
"Then we feed them blood and they'll get better soon," Damon announced.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnDIR2Oqh7
"We can try that," Meredith agreed.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPZHHBBD0F
So they did and both got better.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3jDqr5pHg
Afterward, Klaus and Rebekah went home, as well as Tyler and Caroline.
645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34zRtI7LzT
Later, when Damon was at home and Kat had stayed behind, Kat sat on Elena's bed while Elena wrote in her diary.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcRoZFvKqn
"How are you feeling? Rebekah told me what happened. Are you adjusting?" Kat asked, concerned for her descendant.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCw7svegmY
Elena closed her diary and set her pen down, before turning around in her chair to look at her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2W67ZYkDN
"Why do you ask?"
"Because I know how it feels. It's different for everyone, but I want to help you. You're my family, Elena. I may not show it, but I care. I really do care."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAC3v6uc0r
"Then you should've been here to stop all this mayhem. I didn't want this. Where were you, anyway?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1LoFd61w2
"I'm sorry, Elena. I would've been here if I didn't have hybrids on my tail. But I'm here to stay now. I'll help you in any way I can."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNCzk4HFY5
"You want the truth, Katherine? I'm tired. All I try to do is fight and do the right thing. But Damon said I have to drink from the vein. I don't want to and it's killing me, trying to not drink from the vein. He told me I can't drink animal blood and I can't. He said I could only drink from the vein and that's all I can do. I can't even keep Damon's blood down. What am I going to do?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MSRCRIzwx
"Elena, did you say that when Damon says you can't do something, you can't do it?" Kat questioned.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPneLwv2E0M
"Yeah. Why?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIHs6cq7wt
Kat was silent, but Elena saw Kat knew something.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPh8cz2DQf
"It can't be," Kat whispered.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt04NInMPHW
"What?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e0pOjGbq1
"Elena, I don't know how to say this but…"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxneKwjW5G
"But what?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5eMjFUq6e
"You're sired to Damon."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfog2wAlwC
"How?" Elena questioned with horror and shock.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50S7FNtVRC
"I don't know, but it happens once in a while. It can be broken. We just have to convince him to free you from the sire bond."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGBgTw0aNl
So they did just that and she was released. But that didn't change the connection Elena had and felt for Damon.
