( Elena Gilbert always did prefer the slower nights, not that Katherine could blame her. Katherine sent a wrecking ball into Elena Gilbert's life years ago, all in the name of self preservation. And look where it got them. Elena in the job she was destined for, barf, and Katherine, with a hot piece of arm candy and a job she doesn't see as a job. It helps that she's more formidable than most humans should be. But, that's what comes from five hundred years of discipline.
That cockiness is not bulletproof, unlike her having been actually bulletproof in the past. The job was straightforward and she almost got out of it unscathed. She saved the girl and beheaded the vampire. But, word of her working with the Winchesters had spread and an errant demon entered the grateful girl, exchanged words with her and attacked. One thing led to another, a knife made contact with her cheek, she was just defending herself. Contrary to what some might think, she cares. This was an innocent girl. But, this is what most demons want. Innocent blood shed.
Demonic smoke flies out of the girl's mouth as she slumps against Katherine.
She calls the police anonymously. She supposes the girl, no longer possessed but having stabbed herself, might be wheeled in behind her. But, she also knows what happens when you step up, when you're a good person. And she looks too good to be in all brown or blue or orange or whatever color the prisons have decided on. That, and, she can't do real good behind bars or hire a lawyer or anything like that. So, she helps how she can and she takes herself out of it.
Mystic Falls General is the closest hospital, and after hearing the barbaric cries from the bed next to her and seeing the shoddy suturing from a, frankly, past her prime nurse, Katherine insists they call one person if she's on call.
Elena's hippocratic oath will keep her civil. She hopes. )
This is the closest hospital and Nurse Ratchett butchered the guy's face in the next bed. I thought if I want the best, why not ask for the best.
( Her cheek is cut deep enough that she will need stitches, but the blood has mostly dried. She did use her own antiseptic. It hurt like a bitch. )

Please. A hunter's face is her calling card.
( Or, Katherine's is. )
