It was a dark night, as Katherine walked inside the boarding house. She was supposed to meet Damon for a date and then some.
Suddenly, she was ambushed by Alaric Saltzman. He definitely wasn't himself, she knew, when he pinned her to a wall and stabbed her with a knife.
"Hello, Katherine."
"Alaric."
He twisted the knife in her stomach.
She gasped in pain, as the smell and sensation of vervain hit her.
Damon walked in to see the scene.
Kat kicked Ric off her and slid down the wall, weak. She pulled the knife out and her wound instantly healed, as Damon took care of Ric.
After she had some blood, the vervain began to wear off.
When she felt like herself again and Ric was at home, they made out.
