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.467Please respect copyright.PENANAZceVWqPYvt
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.467Please respect copyright.PENANANIsWRCvje7
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.467Please respect copyright.PENANAfJhxA3Hmsg
John raised the stake.467Please respect copyright.PENANAyx3Rum8mX9
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.467Please respect copyright.PENANAwIzdVOB51K
He stopped when he saw Elena.467Please respect copyright.PENANAWB9aARAVSi
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.467Please respect copyright.PENANAW50kEjhUcU
"Elena, I have to."467Please respect copyright.PENANAasLSv6Ming
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.467Please respect copyright.PENANA7AJ19us7Gh
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.467Please respect copyright.PENANA9O3jUivdQo
"No," Elena said firmly.467Please respect copyright.PENANAXA0gcOosVz
He put the stake away.467Please respect copyright.PENANAwizirxOuWM
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.467Please respect copyright.PENANABmh7GvyzpT
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."467Please respect copyright.PENANAIcHi8mlftg
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.467Please respect copyright.PENANAGOBRUsTtgK
Elena looked at her uncle.467Please respect copyright.PENANAkURL8Jr1Ep
"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."467Please respect copyright.PENANAS7dNuU7nKA
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.467Please respect copyright.PENANABFCcvOx1Nj
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.467Please respect copyright.PENANATb997HQVJZ
John left the building.467Please respect copyright.PENANAU8MrPav6zc
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.467Please respect copyright.PENANASeQ2VU6gJp
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.467Please respect copyright.PENANA7J715dUqlB
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."467Please respect copyright.PENANAxinP2GiIkB
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.467Please respect copyright.PENANAvLJhokXfLc
Caroline Forbes came over.467Please respect copyright.PENANADFpIqYSaU5
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.467Please respect copyright.PENANA8Mneb9KZaf
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.467Please respect copyright.PENANAdTav7UJ4l4
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.467Please respect copyright.PENANAHVxey2393x
Nothing.467Please respect copyright.PENANAoNg31Ms7JD
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."467Please respect copyright.PENANA9hA4KSFz2R
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.467Please respect copyright.PENANAwQldW3I3oO
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.467Please respect copyright.PENANAnsQXROSixw
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.467Please respect copyright.PENANA1QdXLUkP8E
She obeyed.467Please respect copyright.PENANA5R0fHOS0ld
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.467Please respect copyright.PENANABnlPTQSnw5
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.467Please respect copyright.PENANAT7CECTvMgM
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.467Please respect copyright.PENANABdGZAOcwOm
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.467Please respect copyright.PENANAUw6MokJjKR
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.467Please respect copyright.PENANAuUcM9GV5pW
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.467Please respect copyright.PENANAYeiStoN9aU
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.467Please respect copyright.PENANANdXSnXMTPr
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.467Please respect copyright.PENANA65m21vWT5q
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.467Please respect copyright.PENANAe0Pca7JLbc
"You need to heal."467Please respect copyright.PENANAaCeMfqdhGV
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.467Please respect copyright.PENANAxgZ1shl7TN
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.467Please respect copyright.PENANAMYUTfW5AIf
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.467Please respect copyright.PENANAG6KqemHuog
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."467Please respect copyright.PENANAA4EzzQN0N5
Ric got to his feet.467Please respect copyright.PENANAA5eY7oyzdN
"I'll see you later then."467Please respect copyright.PENANABho2Dq0Xzr
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.467Please respect copyright.PENANA7VdIbxyuPP
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.467Please respect copyright.PENANABB0iUO6qfV
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.
