It was a nebulous night at the Salvatore boarding house, as human Katherine set the empty shot glass down on Damon’s drinking table.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LJ1IhllYq
“You’re miserable,” Damon stated.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgloQtv8n35
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor.”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4tHzDgY60
“You’re a liar. Your hair’s messed up, your nails are chipped. You’re a sad, miserable human being and you want me to turn you. So, here.” He bit his wrist and offered it to her.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl5q6pAewe
She gripped his arm, but hesitated.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42obQAXbqC
“Go ahead, drink up. I’ll kill you, you’ll bit the mailman, you’ll be a vampire again. Go ahead, come on,” he encouraged.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg6yXNFkPL
She let go and looked at him.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuOEDMLET2
“I can’t, okay? No one’s ever taken the cure before. If I die, there’s a good chance I may never wake up.”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpVEz3C536
“And that would be tragic,” he commented, not caring.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAHcl0cx0i
“And deep down, in that mushy-gushy Elena-loving heart, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want me to die,” she said, standing in front of him, a hand on his chest. Then she stepped back. “I have enemies everywhere. What happens when word gets out that I’m a human? I can’t protect myself. I’m weak and I’m slow. Do you have any idea what it’s like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon. Please, just…help me,” she pleaded with him.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2EiEyhR7E
He looked at her in silence, debating on what to do. She was right, because they would always have a connection. He hated that and her, but he couldn’t deny it.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1K6Te2EjN
“Fine. I’ll protect you,” he stated, not sure if it was a promise or not.

She silently watched, as he walked out of the living room. She knew why, too. She’d broken his heart so many times that he hated her. He hated what she’d done when she’d been a vampire. Now that she had humanity, she found herself wanting to apologize and to tell the truth to him, instead of lying to him. She knew that he wouldn’t believe her, though.

It was a dismal night, as Katherine sat in the car after having tried to run when Damon had tried handing her over to Silas. She tried to stay awake despite her injuries, but knew if she wasn’t found soon, her injuries would kill her.

About forty minutes later, he finally found his wrecked car with Katherine still inside. He could smell blood, even from a distance. He blurred to her side of the car, and saw that she was quite injured. There was a shard of glass in her thigh and side. Her wrist was cut from a few small pieces of glass by her on the seat. There was blood on either side of her head, too.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJVMNiFkPK
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hzBVlcruN
“I’m so sorry, Katherine,” he apologized, though he didn’t know if she could hear him. “Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes if you can hear me.”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnE5Bt5X0h
He waited for a few minutes, but didn’t get anything from her.

He took his hands away and pulled out both shards of glass, and tossed them to the ground. He then gently picked her up in his arms and blurred towards the hospital. As he did, he could tell that she had and was still losing a lot of blood, not to mention the artery in her thigh had been opened by the shard of glass he’d pulled out, and she was very pale.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0lAYtPtn5
This is my fault. Just hang on. Don’t die on me, he thought, knowing if he didn’t get her to the hospital soon, she was going to die.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuVgt0TGjk
“Stay with me, Katherine,” he said. “Please.”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5ahnFSbg0
He blurred to the hospital, hoping she’d live.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDBR81gvg3

Half an hour later, he walked into the hospital with her in his arms, which Meredith saw. Damon saw an unused bed in the hallway and gently layed her down on it.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhozibYKtbI
Meredith came over.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo22EhbcPrY
“What happened?”582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NqtYBGe0t
“She wrecked my car and got herself injured in the process. I’ll explain later, but this is my fault,” he summarized.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU0dydfAYl
Meredith knew he wasn’t telling her everything, but didn’t question him. Right now, all that mattered was saving Katherine’s life.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXHXyc5dFA
She put a breathing mask on her.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFRGfcme6o
“I’ll let you know how it goes,” she told him.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqb0TncabW

Half an hour later, he was in the waiting room, while Katherine was in surgery. He hoped that she’d be okay, but he didn’t know what extent her injuries were. He wasn’t a doctor. All he knew was how to tend to wounds.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX96v7SLISR
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gz0BRBZ81
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVt81KLJBp
A few hours later, Meredith informed him that she’d be okay and he went to her room.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7MbcG40to
He sat on her bedside with a gentle hand on the side of her face, looking down at her, glad that she was alive, and waited for her to wake up.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe343fCmSu
582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyHwGW1HF3

An hour later, she woke up and they settled things between each other, and he took her home. And so their love story continued.
