It was a dark night as John Gilbert, Elena's uncle, stood over Anna whom had awoken. The basement was on fire and wood started falling.639Please respect copyright.PENANATAnHR9VERz
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.639Please respect copyright.PENANAFVoYzDkv7a
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.639Please respect copyright.PENANAzvzrxo2m1o
John raised the stake.639Please respect copyright.PENANAr0cHvQl6Lf
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.639Please respect copyright.PENANAghY8uCeU3f
He stopped when he saw Elena.639Please respect copyright.PENANAf9BDGfmEaC
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.639Please respect copyright.PENANAHsbbajs4Z3
"Elena, I have to."639Please respect copyright.PENANAItqfaTBT9F
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.639Please respect copyright.PENANAed8loHybhS
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.639Please respect copyright.PENANANLZw1s8J7R
"No," Elena said firmly.639Please respect copyright.PENANABI5sq24aGD
He put the stake away.639Please respect copyright.PENANADKYDXPXTce
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.639Please respect copyright.PENANA4bq4f2rA6j
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."639Please respect copyright.PENANAY3IffwSvcg
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.639Please respect copyright.PENANA5TPpqrvGJE
Elena looked at her uncle.639Please respect copyright.PENANAKRwQ6Tev7Q
"We're the good guys. We don't kill good people. Anna, Pearl, Damon, and the others have done nothing wrong. You should just go home."639Please respect copyright.PENANAh4jOWLi02r
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.639Please respect copyright.PENANAYGghHTdYXv
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.639Please respect copyright.PENANAvQkxKJyyOl
John left the building.639Please respect copyright.PENANAcY49QvLPXU
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.639Please respect copyright.PENANASDO5EduCLq
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.639Please respect copyright.PENANAxNvg4Tumml
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."639Please respect copyright.PENANAiWC985fEDo
As Caroline headed in, she knew whom John had meant. Elena. Elena was in there. And as she headed down the stairs, she saw Elena at Damon's side.639Please respect copyright.PENANAAjcCPa42sZ
Caroline Forbes came over.639Please respect copyright.PENANAYxAPleZfjz
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.639Please respect copyright.PENANAvGNKc42chI
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.639Please respect copyright.PENANAhfWzELfePY
As Elena knelt at her side, Caroline did as she was told. She knew better than to argue with Elena. After all, Elena could be stubborn at times; more so than herself.
"Katherine, can you hear me?" Elena called.639Please respect copyright.PENANAMQyyl4FlAI
Nothing.639Please respect copyright.PENANAOJD3hrCrOA
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."639Please respect copyright.PENANABUbEv0FsQw
With that, the human look-alike put an arm around her, put Katherine's arm around her shoulders, and got to her feet, using her own body weight to hold her up. Then she headed towards the stairs as another pillar that held up the ceiling, fell and the fire got even worst. As it did, she started to cough.639Please respect copyright.PENANA8R6TT8Ss22
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.639Please respect copyright.PENANAUbGrjOSYzk
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.639Please respect copyright.PENANAUzTCReA5Eu
She obeyed.639Please respect copyright.PENANADFttAIhSQP
He walked into the flaming building to help Elena out, when he saw her with Katherine. He gently carried the vampiress when he saw them, Elena at his side.639Please respect copyright.PENANAnoWaQXhzGp
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.639Please respect copyright.PENANA80zObTI78M
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.639Please respect copyright.PENANAgG35dgLSSG
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.639Please respect copyright.PENANA7lwdGZgNWk
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.639Please respect copyright.PENANAvIiehiyfSR
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.639Please respect copyright.PENANANVgssTlWrS
Elena cut her wrist, pulled Katherine gently into her arms, and put her wrist to the vampiress' lips, making the blood go down her throat.639Please respect copyright.PENANA1rEF9ucOKM
Alaric didn't know what to do for Damon, so he just looked down at his friend. He'd give him his blood, but the Vampire Hunter had issues with giving vampires his blood.639Please respect copyright.PENANAZijbVBHJ2u
A few minutes later, Katherine started to drink. But a few moments later, she stopped and looked up at Elena. She then sat up and held out her wrist after biting it.639Please respect copyright.PENANAawxQC48EfL
"You need to heal."639Please respect copyright.PENANATHbIOjBAu6
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.639Please respect copyright.PENANAqtNkRCCGpT
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.639Please respect copyright.PENANAt4rgirgASr
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.639Please respect copyright.PENANA2dBvpypqvk
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."639Please respect copyright.PENANAtC5B29wxGy
Ric got to his feet.639Please respect copyright.PENANAf9ACtxJpcw
"I'll see you later then."639Please respect copyright.PENANAKTHA7m02cz
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.639Please respect copyright.PENANA7jTn1oJsDT
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.639Please respect copyright.PENANA1LKd0bTNKV
Not long afterward, he drank before letting go and looking up at them. Then he got to his feet and together, the three of them left.
