Dear Diary,

Tonight will be the night of the ritual. The ritual Klaus will perform so he can phase. But in order for it to go through, he'll need to drink from and kill Elena Gilbert. He'll also need blood, a witch, and a sacrifice.

What are my thoughts on this? I say he won't do it if I can help it. Elena is the last of my human Petrova family. I'll stop at nothing to save her life; keep her alive. I must protect her. I must be there for her. I can't lose my family again. It would shatter me to bits more than last time, if he kills her.

Damon and I are working together to find out how to stop it. But what if we can't? What if we're too late to save her? What then?

-Katherine Pierce, 2005

It's a dark night in Mystic Falls, Virginia. It's a full moon night. The night of the ritual. We thought we had everything planned out, but we didn't. Klaus kidnapped Elena. I'm running through the woods at vamp speed, heading for the heart of the woods. Damon said he would be on his way. He just has something he has to take care of first.

Twenty minutes later, I stop in the shadows of the trees. I see the horrific scene. Niklaus is just seconds away from finishing drinking from Elena. Elena is just about going limp. I can hear her heart slowing and her breathing turning shallow, her eyes just barely open. Stefan is trapped in a circle, surrounded by fire and in pain. The witch and Elena's Aunt Jenna are dead.

"No!" I yell.

At vamp speed, I run towards and slam into Klaus. We land on the ground, me on top, until he rolls on top of me and pins me there. Elena is on her back on the ground still. And that's when it happens. He starts to phase into a werewolf. I push him off me and get to my feet.

Just when I start to run towards Elena to help her, Klaus in werewolf form, lunges at and pins me down to the ground. Now I look up at a missive, brown werewolf. Then I'm attacked.

As he attacks me, I try to get free from him, but I can't. As he scratches and bites me, pain surges through me. I know I'm in danger. Klaus has bitten me, and is still biting me and he's half werewolf. A werewolf bite is poisonous and deadly to a vampire.

As I weaken, I hear Damon yell out my name.

"Katherine!" I yell, as I run towards her.

A moment later, I slam into Klaus, throwing him off her, protecting my Sire. He lands against some trees, as I race over to Katherine.

I kneel down beside her.

"Damon," she breathes.

"I'm here, Kat."

As I pull her gently into my arms, she falls unconscious and goes limp in my arms. I want to get to Elena first, but Stefan's trapped. I'm on my own. I have to get them to the Salvatore boarding house one at a time.

I race towards the boarding house, Kat in my arms, knowing Kat is dying.

Once in my room, I gently lay her down on my bed. I then kiss her forehead lightly before speedily leaving to go get Elena.

Ten minutes later, I'm back in the woods knelt beside Elena. Stefan and Klaus are gone. I pick her up and speedily run towards my place.

Once in Stefan's room, I gently lay her down on his bed. I then hold her up and bite my wrist, putting it to her lips, positioning her head back, as to make my blood go down her throat.

Ten minutes later, I lay her down and leave the room.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I'm in Damon's bed in his room at the Salvatore boarding house. Damon is standing at my bedside, looking down at me.

"Damon," I breathe, weakly looking at him.

I'm so weak and hungry. I know I'm dying. And I'm so torrid. I know I won't be in existence much longer. I can feel myself slowly dying.

"I'm sorry. For everything. I never wanted to hurt you. I have always loved you both. I never chose either of you," I whisper in truth.

He sits on my bedside.

We look at each other.

"I forgave you a long time ago, Kat. There's no need for apologies," he informs me.

A sharp pain shoots through me and I gasp in pain.

"Kat, it's okay. You'll be okay."

"I'm dying. How will I be okay?" I whisper.

"Because we'll find the cure. I have Bonnie asking the witches. You'll live."

"You don't know that. I can feel it. It's close. Death is close," I susurrate. "I love you," I then add.

A moment later, everything goes black for me.

I look down at Kat, standing at her bedside, and trail the back of my hand gently down the side of her face. I hope that she won't die on me. She's my Sire and I have and will always care deeply about her. She can't die on me. Not now. Not ever. I won't let it happen. I'll die before I'll let anything happen to her. I stifle a growl as I think about it. She wouldn't be in this position if it hadn't been for Klaus. If only Klaus hadn't killed Elena. But I gave Elena my blood. She'll come back. But if she comes back as a vampire or in transition to become a vampire, I will stake her myself. That I vow. And I never ever take back my promises and vows. I never have and I won't start now. If Katherine dies by the clutches or hands of Klaus, I will personally kill him myself, or die trying to kill him, no matter what the consequences are. That's how much I care about her.

Just then, my cell phone vibrates and I take it out. It's Bonnie.

I answer it.

"Tell me you have something for me."

"They were really mad, but I heard a name. Klaus."

"Thanks, Bonnie."

I hang up.

I bend down and kiss her forehead before leaving the room.

Elena is just coming over to my room.

"Elena, stay with Katherine. Klaus bit her. She's dying. Bonnie just told me that she heard Klaus' name amongst the witches. I have to go do something."

"Be careful, Damon."

"I'll try."

"And Damon, don't do anything stupid."

I give her a smile before vanishing down the stairs and out of the house.

An hour later, I stand with Rebekkah, Klaus' sister, in a dark alley.

"Your brother seems to have bitten Katherine. I know you hate her, but she's my Sire. My family. You have to help me."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Get me Klaus' blood. Just one or two vials of it."

"Very well then. You do know I'm only doing this because it's for you and it's a family matter, right?"

"I get that, Rebekkah. Now please go. And do hurry."

I watch her leave the alley at vamp speed. I only hope we won't be too late to save her life.

While I'm unconscious, I dream about my past. Mostly about my family. I dream that I'm overlooking my village back in Bulgaria. I see the villagers that lived in my village, including my family, all slaughtered. I relive it all. I miss them so much, but I miss my ma' ma even more. Then it fast forwards to me going to Mystic Falls, Virginia but skips several details. It then goes straight to when the vampire raid came in the winter of 1864.

I stop in the middle of the street. I know I must go, but I love them both so I must go to them. I run towards Damon and Stefan who have been shot dead in the street.

I kneel down between them.

I touch Stefan's face gently and bend down to whisper in his ear.

"I'll see you soon, Stefan."

I turn to Damon and whisper in his ear, a gentle hand on the side of his face.

"I promise we'll be together again soon. I love you both. Protect each other for me. I'll be with you again when I get the chance. I love you, Damon."

I stand up and rush towards my coach where my vampire friends, Anna and Pearl, are waiting for me.

As my coach starts moving, I look out the window silently and look at the Salvatore brothers still lying there. I wish I could stay with them, but if I don't leave town, I'll surely be killed. And my first rule for myself is to always survive. My second rule is to always be one step ahead of the enemy. Decides, I don't know how far away from Mystic Falls Klaus is. And if he finds me here, he'll kill me. I can't let that happen. I have to survive. I have the Salvatore brothers to live for. And I'm still in search of my long lost daughter that my father took from me. I want to someday be reunited with my family. My only human family that I have left. I know I'll never be reunited with my human family that Niklaus slaughtered, for they are dead. And they didn't have vampire blood in their system like Damon and Stefan did before they died. So I am in search of her.

I wake up from my dream to see Damon standing at my bedside, Elena standing by the door to the bedroom, both looking at me.

"We got you the cure and I gave it to you. How are you feeling?" he says.

"Better. Thanks."

"You are very welcome," he replies to me.

Elena gives a small smile, I'm guessing to show that she's glad I'm okay, before leaving the room.

I look up at him and he looks down at me.

We smile.
