It was a dark night as Damon staggered through the Mystic Falls streets, very warm and sweating, not exactly himself. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ApUg3Prx

Meanwhile, Katherine was out looking for her elder childe, having found that he was MIA.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr4Ywi8Rmw

Once she found him, he began to hallucinate and pinned her to a pole, her back up against it.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeOnxWG4tQ
"I choose you, Katherine."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSsOJeid8a
When he went for the side of her neck, she knew what he was hallucinating.

It was a dark night in the Mystic Falls woods, as Katherine stood with her back up against a tree, human Damon in front of her. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJmjWqGcyj
She used a fingernail to make a cut on her left collarbone. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskiXqiwkR2
"If you want it, take it," she instructed, teaching him something she had always done as long as she had been a vampire; take whatever you want, no matter the cost to others. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCdBDgXAEN
He bent towards the cut. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAkL0eo6mG
"I choose you, Katherine."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSnwAFi6gG
She smiled.

She rested gentle but firm hands on either side of his head, making him stop, keeping him from biting her and making him look at her. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiesUMA1sM
"You're hallucinating, Damon; stop," she said gently. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvIxff12O6
"Katherine?" he said, looking at her, realizing he had almost bitten her in the present, when he had hallucinated. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNJ1yKTdjj
"I'm here. It's okay. You didn't hurt me," she assured him. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCARbQVkJF
He let her go and stepped back, which turned into a stagger. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC4fy5rKU4
When he began to lose his balance from sudden weakness, she was instantly beside him and put an arm around him to help him. She then used her body weight to keep him on his feet. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVJlSVgYEZ
"Let's go home," she stated.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOybaZ4Dkn

Half an hour later, he lay in bed with his sire wetting his face down with a cool wet wash cloth. He was very pale and weak. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fNzTwNRco
As she sat beside him on his bed, she felt helpless. She was helpless next to him. She was his sire and girlfriend. She was supposed to protect or at least save him, but all she could do was watch him slowly and painfully die. Her only hope was for Stefan to get the cure and bring it in time. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNIELDS4Kq
"You should go. I could hurt you," he whispered. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbdddoiTIp
"You won't. I'm here until the very end."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmdh9XymB1
"I love you," he replied in susurration, thinking this may be the last time he'd get to say it. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrFNIgpWJi
"I love you, too."656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLCn05DTOU
She bent down and kissed him, before pulling away. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnkFgUMed0
He closed his eyes. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHce7Eg6pv2
"Thank...you," he managed to whisper. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoJkggsZVt
A moment later, Klaus walked in with a vial of blood in hand.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jncWOI2v7
She sensed a presence, so she turned to look and was surprised that he was there with the cure, instead of Stefan. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYIknbwPqC
"I hate to interrupt dear Katerina, but here you go," he said, walking over to her. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXzQcL6tTx
She took it from him. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTIjDeyZqB
"Where's Stefan?" she questioned. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtf322lN7C
"Oh, he's paying for this; bringing out his inner demons. See you around, Katerina," he replied, before vanishing. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwX539oCHU
She turned back to Damon and uncorked the vial, before putting it to his lips, making the blood go down his throat. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBLmM6PXPF

Half an hour later he came to, cured, and she told him what he had missed. Now it was time to get Stefan back on track.
