It was a dark night, as Katherine Pierce came down the stairs to get a bag of blood from the cooler in the basement. She set the bag back down when she sensed something. She sensed that it was in the cell where Elijah was, so she went over and opened the door to the cell. She left the door wide open and walked into the cell. And that's when she saw the dagger slowly coming out of the Original. She was alone in the house and didn't know what to do, so she did the one thing that would get the invisible force's attention. She knew something might happen to her if she did, but it was better than awakening Elijah.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dw0NZMtqq
"Hey!" she yelled.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGoGE3NdnO
The invisible force stopped, which was a relief to her. And then it happened. A stake came towards her in mid-air. It hovered in the air just inches from her, sharp and aimed towards her. She put flat hands on either side of the stake, trying to stop it from staking her.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnop859B6Un
When she heard the front door upstairs close and a heartbeat, as well as his familiar scent, she knew it was Alaric Saltzman returning from dinner at the Grille.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUzQLztSwu
"Katherine?" she heard him call, obviously wondering if she was still at the boarding house.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMphws91ofo
"Alaric!" she yelled, knowing she needed help.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClX59PAXML
When the Vampire Hunter heard her yell his name, he rushed down the stairs to see what was wrong.
Seeing the cell door open, he rushed towards it, only to find the scene. A hovering stake was trying to kill her. It was just an inch away from piercing her skin. It looked like a witch. He figured it was probably Luka or his father that was doing it. All he knew was that Katherine had been helping them, so he had to help her in return. And he couldn't waste time.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTHerHa4Sq
He hurried into the hall outside the cell to fetch his fire machine. It was the only thing he could think of that would stop the witch.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGBo13fJIi
When he returned with it, the stake had drove itself in the middle of her chest. And it was killing her. But even though it was killing her, she still held on. She used all she had left of strength to stay on her feet, back against the rock wall, hands on the wall.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP7WnmYsVo
Ric turned the machine on and fire came out, as he stepped slowly towards the scene.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEiQDSbz03
"Get out of here and leave her alone," he told the witch.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZscYTAqpSO
When he stepped closer, the stake stopped hovering and stayed in her chest.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTavElVAGgj
"It's gone," she said softly.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qj2gpO4Mw
He turned it off and set it down, before walking briskly towards her. Then he pulled the stake out and tossed it to the ground. She gasped in pain, as he pulled it out.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6jCLvqvQa
"Thanks," she said to him.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUgKbCC7sh
"You're welcome."562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN0RxS274s
He watched her wound heal.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Nll5jSvh
"I'll get you some food," he told her, as he put a hand on her upper left arm to help her upstairs.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscZIXoBVzF
As they passed the cooler, he snagged a bag for her.
Once on the couch, she took the bag from Alaric, opened it up, and drank. And as she did, she started to feel much better.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXmf7vEii8
Ric turned his back to her when she began to drink.562Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQg7APJ9yz
Later, she got better and Elijah stayed daggered with the cell door locked.
