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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAfuk4nasYGV
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.851Please respect copyright.PENANAW2EM7o8y5z
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.851Please respect copyright.PENANAfI8m0V0pOd
John raised the stake.851Please respect copyright.PENANAarKXb7XvGO
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.851Please respect copyright.PENANAAg801av21v
He stopped when he saw Elena.851Please respect copyright.PENANAWp8zyB3ZPQ
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.851Please respect copyright.PENANAZaK2YmyTcy
"Elena, I have to."851Please respect copyright.PENANAJVvdvcVXwj
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.851Please respect copyright.PENANAkBKb1WfpAS
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.851Please respect copyright.PENANA1pOrGt4wlg
"No," Elena said firmly.851Please respect copyright.PENANAq5Bi8xxab6
He put the stake away.851Please respect copyright.PENANARDwwYtjaH1
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.851Please respect copyright.PENANA5h5CvyKBb6
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."851Please respect copyright.PENANA9DADUolX94
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.851Please respect copyright.PENANAircEql9CtQ
Elena looked at her uncle.851Please respect copyright.PENANAl48fdJ4O6F
"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."851Please respect copyright.PENANApCk9z28ek1
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.851Please respect copyright.PENANAXoQ2w4L4zx
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.851Please respect copyright.PENANAk6CeWumjYr
John left the building.851Please respect copyright.PENANAjBWRRP0eAw
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.851Please respect copyright.PENANAMDT7s2R7BS
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.851Please respect copyright.PENANAfRNiySSQ3h
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."851Please respect copyright.PENANAtsobpXVkDB
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANA58EFbeen48
Caroline Forbes came over.851Please respect copyright.PENANAvgiztFM1p3
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.851Please respect copyright.PENANAYfyyLGMPxl
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.851Please respect copyright.PENANAOXnhkbQwSE
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAn650hCi1sm
Nothing.851Please respect copyright.PENANALtXD7ItchO
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."851Please respect copyright.PENANAiDqz6sinCs
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAyXEvW29vZs
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.851Please respect copyright.PENANAmH79KdztzG
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.851Please respect copyright.PENANA3fPpZWGoJz
She obeyed.851Please respect copyright.PENANAKAx3fCez5x
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ56mncWKP
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.851Please respect copyright.PENANAiFgjLSDSZr
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.851Please respect copyright.PENANAWA1cTqS1at
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.851Please respect copyright.PENANA7dancJd3Cw
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.851Please respect copyright.PENANAoncNtpSiZj
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.851Please respect copyright.PENANARtVzHFFNZ9
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAFAwsa7PnP8
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAO5kal9GfYx
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.851Please respect copyright.PENANAI1HfIck1Ho
"You need to heal."851Please respect copyright.PENANA9c8P8bu4VB
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.851Please respect copyright.PENANAoFE3bkLwar
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.851Please respect copyright.PENANAL8ES7gGdvu
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.851Please respect copyright.PENANAmjb4laiFTU
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."851Please respect copyright.PENANAaaOQWdTsqC
Ric got to his feet.851Please respect copyright.PENANAYir6DPu8dA
"I'll see you later then."851Please respect copyright.PENANAXOGnCbKuRs
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.851Please respect copyright.PENANArPqqrL7L9v
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.851Please respect copyright.PENANA5a5cJee2ir
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.
