Katherine woke up later that night, having gotten her neck snapped, feeling as if she had been vervained. She felt weak and realized that she was tied to a post in an old barn. She saw that Stefan was there with a dagger in one hand and his phone in the other, which meant that he had done this to her.
"What are you doing, Stefan?" she weakly asked him.
"Klaus is being stubborn, so I'm going to make him see it my way. He wants you alive. Otherwise, he would've killed you when he had the chance. You're leverage."
She knew what he was getting at. Klaus didn't want to hand his family coffins over, so Stefan was resorting to drastic measures. If Klaus didn't hand them over or make the deal to do so, Stefan would kill her. His own sire. Once again, her life was hanging in the balance.
She watched, as he called someone, over hearing both sides, because of her vampire hearing.
"Where are you?" Klaus asked.
"I'll give you a hint. I'm in the middle of nowhere with Katherine. Now, I want you to hand over those coffins," he replied, as he walked over to his sire.
"Why should I?"
"Because if you don't, Katherine won't live to see tomorrow."
Careful to not let the blade or dagger touch him, he stabbed her in the chest.
"What did you do?" Klaus asked, hearing Katerina in pain.
"I stabbed her in the chest. Sure, that won't kill her alone, but dip a dagger in werewolf poison and it's just as effective as a werewolf bite. Or move it closer and it'll go right through her heart."
"No," she said weakly, knowing she was dying.
"You wouldn't kill your sire," Klaus said.
"You wanna bet?" Stefan replied.
"I know my brother better than anyone and right now, I don't know how far he's willing to go. So, when he tells you to blink, I suggest you blink," Damon said.
"Do we have a deal or not?" Stefan asked.
"Yes. We have a deal," Klaus replied.
"Good. You'll find her in the barn. I'll leave the cure here," Stefan informed them, before hanging up.
Stefan pulled the dagger out and then left the cure on a stack of hay by the door, before vanishing.
Damon arrived in the barn to see Katherine tied to a post, head down and pale, a vial of the cure not far away.
He was instantly in front of her.
He gently rested a hand between her shoulder blades and used his free hand to snap the ropes. He then caught her, arm under her head, head between her shoulder blades, holding her up. He then gently layed her down on the ground on her back to retrieve the vial.
He knelt at her side when he had the cure in hand, and put it to her lips, making the blood go down her throat to save her life.
When it was finished, he gently picked her up in his arms and then vanished for home.
