VD: Datherine

Only Human

Summary: Set in S5. Kat gets into a crash after a fight with Damon. Will she be okay?

I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it
But I'm only human...

It was dark as human Katherine drove Damon's car, upset after a fight with Damon about Silas. He wanted to hand her over to him to get Stefan back. Then he would rescue her from Silas. What he didn't know was what Silas needed her for. She was the cure and he needed to drink it to die a witch and be reunited with his long lost love. She just hadn't told him that part yet. She assumed neither had Silas. She loved Damon, but sometimes she hated him.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a guy in the road. After being a vampire of 500 years, she knew he was a vampire. She swerved to avoid hitting him, but she hit him anyway and her car rolled and crashed into a street light pole.
As she sat there, out cold, injured, glass from the windshield on her from it shattering, the vampire approached the wrecked car.

And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head
Knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
I'm only human
I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything
I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it...

The vampire opened the dented in driver's side car door, but before he could lean in for a bite, he smelled the scent of another vampire, so he fled at vamp speed.

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words on my head
Knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
I'm only human...

"Katherine!"
He was instantly at her side.
He bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to save her life. Then, a few minutes later, he took it away and his wrist instantly healed.
He gently pulled her into his arms and carried her back to his place. And as he headed back to the boarding house, her wounds began to heal.

I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human
I can take so much
Until I've had enough
'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and break down
Your words in my head
Knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human...

In the end she was alright, which relieved Damon. After all, he did still love her.
