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.608Please respect copyright.PENANAJ504down1z
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.608Please respect copyright.PENANAHzhkZgDEsX
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.608Please respect copyright.PENANAY0KteWUltQ
John raised the stake.608Please respect copyright.PENANABmyg3JJ64g
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.608Please respect copyright.PENANAAK9P53mOza
He stopped when he saw Elena.608Please respect copyright.PENANA5CbM4p2Kc5
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.608Please respect copyright.PENANACnTI4QQHd4
"Elena, I have to."608Please respect copyright.PENANAfRpmSrJii2
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.608Please respect copyright.PENANA45CWJ9TFB5
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.608Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ4YVdnJMa
"No," Elena said firmly.608Please respect copyright.PENANAiTE56OBTFA
He put the stake away.608Please respect copyright.PENANAA5JxBcaMZo
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.608Please respect copyright.PENANAC4D8Yst6p0
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."608Please respect copyright.PENANABeVlLvU1Ab
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.608Please respect copyright.PENANAyYQGpntAhH
Elena looked at her uncle.608Please respect copyright.PENANAC2Uu9UmV2W
"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."608Please respect copyright.PENANAH64WdQH9qV
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.608Please respect copyright.PENANA9hCqmDjwrW
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.608Please respect copyright.PENANAnFcmhJaKPp
John left the building.608Please respect copyright.PENANAQjo99FRkiI
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.608Please respect copyright.PENANANauhLP0iDX
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.608Please respect copyright.PENANA5SPYBqzoZy
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."608Please respect copyright.PENANAoMldoK1i1I
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.608Please respect copyright.PENANAfcPJf0R8mp
Caroline Forbes came over.608Please respect copyright.PENANAN7MnDdN0QI
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.608Please respect copyright.PENANAzhjzLPlVPq
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.608Please respect copyright.PENANArpJK8O0noz
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.608Please respect copyright.PENANA5wlA08O2oJ
Nothing.608Please respect copyright.PENANAoE1zGKyc9e
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."608Please respect copyright.PENANAY3RAhQ41zG
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.608Please respect copyright.PENANArvKB9zprRP
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.608Please respect copyright.PENANACIKjvbdS28
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.608Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ8NhGa6S1
She obeyed.608Please respect copyright.PENANAoEvsidqL3K
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.608Please respect copyright.PENANAb7jvHZJQQD
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.608Please respect copyright.PENANATYfNmpl5kv
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.608Please respect copyright.PENANAIdoHCYZfhy
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.608Please respect copyright.PENANAAaypMEXekd
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.608Please respect copyright.PENANAcywe4u3DKT
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.608Please respect copyright.PENANA1NJZBJi9Gz
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.608Please respect copyright.PENANAdtqcTzGXr8
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.608Please respect copyright.PENANAtqwNhogzbM
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.608Please respect copyright.PENANAMWkw9FaL41
"You need to heal."608Please respect copyright.PENANAqGl9puN9vy
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.608Please respect copyright.PENANAKZbioRdjb2
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.608Please respect copyright.PENANAGRB1pOKWCe
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.608Please respect copyright.PENANAbfRoXRIHna
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."608Please respect copyright.PENANAd5VzYaTZDz
Ric got to his feet.608Please respect copyright.PENANADWU0rThgv6
"I'll see you later then."608Please respect copyright.PENANA6O1XNUduQr
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.608Please respect copyright.PENANApHcyxJjjG9
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.608Please respect copyright.PENANAN7n2axOD1p
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.
