Summary: What if Katherine was in Growing Pains when Elena was turning into a vampire? What if Klaus hadn't been there to pull Caroline and Rebekah out in Tyler's body? What if Caroline and Rebekah had had an unexpected helper?
It was a beautiful day, as Elena opened her eyes to see that she was in her room at home. Stefan and Damon were in the room with her, Damon seated on a chair by the door, Stefan seated on a chair in front of her bed.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A6qe0JlBl
She sat up.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z6C7EvYys
"You've been in and out for hours," Stefan said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOtETOPgCm
"What happened? How did you save me?" she asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXJEjbYMIk
"He didn't," Damon told her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb8JuPyo4J
"Wait. What?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlbD3SFF4M
Stefan explained to her what Meredith had done.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvtXp7GwOh
"So what? Am I dead?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdONpNg7gTw
"You're in transition. You're not fully alive and you're not fully dead."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgdkCcb5kA
"No. I can't be."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTarmV1ahV
"I have Bonnie looking into it. She might be able to reverse it."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbOsAzIHFh
"No. You feed or you die. There's no third door," Damon said before getting up and leaving the room.
He went downstairs to the kitchen to get a shot glass of liquor from Elena's cupboard.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jptSscIZd
Stefan came down the stairs just then and into the kitchen.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacYHpMsyx1
He watched his elder brother.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMruAmMYztw
"You know, you can't do anything about it," Damon told his brother. "If she doesn't feed by this afternoon, she'll die tonight."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C7b7Llqqx
"Damon, you weren't there when Elena looked me in the eye and told me she didn't want to become a vampire. We still have a day before she has to turn."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycnJb8b8Hg
"Whatever. Always the hero," Damon commented, grabbing his glass from the counter and slowly sipping it.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARUqEbiuli
Stefan left the room, as Damon finished his drink.
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eXeWtCeQP
Back at Elena's room, Elena was looking in her mirror, as her hearing intensified. It was so intense; she could hear the electricity running through a light bulb and she looking down at it, once she had entered the hallway outside her room.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7De2urFQn
Her younger brother, Jeremy, walked over to her from down the other end of the hallway.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj2JNAKPlF
"Jer," she greeted.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnBwmUGoCz
They hugged.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1VhxEC1OD
"Are you okay? I watched Vicki go through this, she was a mess. Her emotions were all over the place. All these old memories came flooding back."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcnbJUMQFF
Elena glanced over at the light bulb again, but turned back to face Jeremy again.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAupKeYcml
"I'm fine. I'm not Vicki."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzHT2UgdeN
"No, you're not. You're act like everything's okay so no one worries about you but you need help."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYflXXFM9S
Elena kept glancing at the light bulb.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspYLXmn9Gg
"I said I'm fine, okay?" she said all snappy. "I-I'm sorry. I…Have you talked to Bonnie?" she then said more herself.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGBdgKXKEg
"Yeah, she said when I was shot, she made some plea to the witch spirit to bring me back and they listened.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A2txJ1QTU
"Yeah, but the consequences were horrible."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiPdcuz5pa
"And what could be more horrible than you turning into a vampire? I need my sister, not another one of them."
"We're going to find a way out of this. Everything's going to be okay."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRRXfNC9Xf
"I hope so."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIAH1EU0Ov
Elena watched her only brother leave. She then turned around at the light bulb in the lamp and strode over to it. Then she pulled off the lampshade and crushed the light bulb in her hand.
Bonnie was in the Lockwood cellar, staring at Klaus' desiccated body which was lying in a coffin.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdBNwPnBC4
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Klaus said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbQfgnuuit
Bonnie turned around and saw Klaus in Tyler's body entering the cellar.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu996JQcUe
"What is that doing here, Klaus? The deal we made with Tyler was that you'd leave his body and jump into someone else's the first chance you got."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeYyaZ0oyN
"Yes, when I assumed I'd be a pile of ash. But apparently, fate and oxygen intervened and there I am."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34JnUai4du
Klaus walked towards the coffin.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY0cciCGdF
"Put me back."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCYIqmmtXu
"I can't right now."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6UwyWS70p
"Your history teacher outed Tyler and Caroline to the Council. They're on a war path and this body's vulnerable."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71txtnI1Sd
"I have to help Elena before she has to feed."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUlOTpLl6A
"Elena's dead and no longer my concern."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6o5mbDiw3
"You're forgetting who just saved your life."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mVbqrrKis
Klaus grabbed Bonnie by the throat.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdpmpOnj5M
"And you're forgetting that I could rip your tongue out. Now put me back."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp2BXIwcHj
"If I can keep Elena human, you'll still have an endless blood supply to make your hybrids. Isn't that what you really want?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS65O3zSG7
Klaus released Bonnie.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaKGnHtiqi
Bonnie started to leave, but Klaus was instantly in front of her and blocked her way out.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U7fES6doL
"Same rules apply. No one knows. No one. Do you understand me, Bonnie?"
Meredith was walking down the hallway of the hospital, when Pastor Young and some deputies approached her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW68pkxtmjM
She stopped.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiuQZUmbrk
"Pastor Young. To what do we owe the honor? And don't tell me it's your blood pressure again."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqNZePnZmL
"Honestly, I wish it were."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwugc334Wx
He turned to the deputies behind them.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nVpGlN6Oe
"Blood bank's in the basement. One of you sweep the rooms."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsgJedlzxY
"Who gave you that authority?" Meredith questioned.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiHelP6ASI
"The Council. They're entrusted me to secure the town and unlike some of our Founding Families, I don't have conflicting interests."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90MGKG2Fck
"What is that supposed to mean?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fAvLTDXty
"Alaric Saltzman told us everything, Meredith. Probably time to start looking for a new job."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKqJISzpnz
Pastor Young left Meredith there.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSNk5ArJIl
Caroline was talking to Matt before there were interrupted by a deputy opening the door. But Caroline was quick and was instantly out of sight before the door even opened.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUMGOXTQUf
"Can I help you?" Matt asked the officer.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTHeO6Wuqv
"Sorry."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiZQ0A6J7O
He got on his dispatch and said, "All good here."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8SaefW2BX
He exited the room and closed the door.
An officer handcuffed Carol Lockwood at the Lockwood Mansion. Pastor Young stood nearby.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u7ynhR2tQ
"What's going on?" she asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCrZ0Y9ZNN
The officer started to lead Carol out of her house.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VqFtlTdEE
"We just need to ask you a few questions about your son."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV6LayfBh3
"You can't arrest me! I'm the Mayor of this town!"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMLGCoXpZe
"Not anymore you're not."
Sheriff Forbes was walking to the police department when Pastor Young stopped her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGAsRWTi25
"Sorry, Liz. You're not going to work today."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMpmjqPwdb
"What are you talking about?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1m0wC9wAO
The deputies surrounded the two of them.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNfHI7ssQu
"They're taking your badge. You're not fit to protect us anymore."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g0BJAEc5N
"You have no idea what you're up against."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuLKimYM9Z
"On the contrary Liz, I've already taken your deputies. We've got the entire town's supply of vervain, including the stash we found in the Salvatore house. We're making our move."
Caroline was heading out of the Forbes' residence, when her mother called her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL880w5aFuC
"Where are you? And please tell me it's somewhere faraway," Liz told her daughter.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyWaoX05Nn
"Where am I? Uh…good question. Uh…there's just a whole lot of boring highways. Why, is everything okay?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqbJAApvGd
Suddenly, an officer snuck up behind her and stabbed her in the side of her neck with a syringe.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6cYThKMXo
"Caroline, what's going on?" Liz asked.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO3eDXHbVI
The phone hit the porch.
Elena and Stefan were in the kitchen.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunJxTp7aXW
Elena took a bite of a sandwich.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmLaIhZlp5
"It's disgusting," Stefan commented, watching her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs19onGga8
"No it's, um…"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GZB7103DK
"It's disgusting," he repeated.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicF13GM83R
She spit it out onto a napkin.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tp3ezw6G0
"I never thought I would say this, but I can't stop thinking about blood."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDb94WtS6k
"I should have saved you first. You shouldn't be going through this now."
"No, if you have saved me, then Matt would be dead. What do you think I'd be going through then?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tk7mx8ZMk
Stefan poured himself a drink and took a sip.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvNwjcSj6c
Elena got up and walked over to him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi0FncqxZh
"Stefan, listen to me. You did the right thing. You did what you always do. You respected my choice."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oAFyNgTST
"And what am I supposed to do if Bonnie can't figure out a way to help you? Because then you have another choice to make. Either let yourself die or be a vampire."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneNf8LZA9B
"Well, then we'll cross that bridge when we get there."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRghwyu58z
Suddenly, Elena started laughing.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwXNzeIgSF
"Oh my God, did-did I just say "cross that bridge"?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA47ow4GZG
Elena started laughing maniacally.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn1wCf5HQD
"You're laughing. I'm pretty sure you don't actually think that's funny."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDK0I49dQV
"I can't stop though," she said, continuing to laugh.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbiNOgEsh1
"Your emotions are a bit heightened today. A lot heightened."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSVsS07rYm
She continued laughing but then started to cry.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBCtyRD1m5
He hugged her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBkPODAju8
"Hey, shh, shh. It's okay. It's okay."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCqH0vZl3V
"I'm sorry. I…"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAC5ADbXVG
He pulled away and caressed her face.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvS9lIz70C
"Listen to me. No matter what happens, I'm here for you. I can help you."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf8Ue3EbRg
Elena looked out the window and squinted her eyes due to the brightness of the sunlight.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotaF6B1GcM
"Why don't you go back upstairs where it's dark? I'll clean up."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ynqv2wstC
Elena started to walk away and shielded her eyes from the sun.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ6jqWcwlf
She walked up the stairs into her room where she started to remember something that a while back, Damon had compelled her to forget.
*Flashback*
"Cute PJ's," Damon commented, sitting on her windowsill.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxQCYpnvl5
"I'm tired, Damon."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8OHSHQ8Rs
Damon got up and walked over to Elena, holding up her vervain necklace.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85GQO9dYax
"I brought you this."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gpOGej4fu
"I thought it was gone. Thank you."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxRp9VSrCi
Elena tried to take it from Damon, but he pulled it back.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZRbSjt9mG
"Please give it back."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQoXqyye2q
"I just have to say something."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ4u2M8sdx
"Why do you have to say it with my necklace?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXcWbpLPL1
"Because what I'm about to say is probably the most selfish thing I've ever said in my life."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBCag4HbXJ
"Damon, don't go there."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG2zk1ZO1H
"No, I just have to say it once. You just need to hear it. I love you, Elena. And it's because I love you, that I can't be selfish with you. Why you can't know this? I don't deserve you, but my brother does."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwBjIdPtwO
Damon kissed Elena on the forehead.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc7RrxSuJ9
"God, I wish you didn't have to forget this. But you do."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6SPb27tvR
Damon compelled Elena to forget.
*End of flashback*
Elena touched her neck and looked down.
Rebekah looked at pictures Klaus had drawn at the Original house. She picked one up and began to choke up, almost crying. She threw the pictures down and knocked the rest of them off the table in a fit of rage.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpIzktmTl1
Damon entered the room behind her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrtSIikyOM
"You should know better than to sneak up on a lady."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsRnr3WqiQ
"Good advice. Have you seen one?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWqBcc1PJg
Rebekah turned around to face him.
"Tragic about Elena. Not to make a grey cloud grayer, but does Matt even have automobile insurance?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8hkYXnV7D
Rebekah turned back around.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAKo1hZQWL
Damon rushed at her with the indestructible white oak stake. She grabbed his wrist and prevented him from killing her. She pushed him against a dresser and he dropped the stake.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZIf3rlkz4
Suddenly, someone started firing wooden bullets through the window. Damon managed to escape, but Rebekah was shot in the heart with an arrow and fell to the ground.
Elena picked up a photo of her with her parents and looked at it a bit.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IE2ELEXj4
Suddenly, she heard a commotion downstairs and walked down the stairs.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9EvuqIV5G
"Stefan?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyGWC8Jckq
"Elena, don't move."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlHUs5BtYb
Elena stopped on the stair case. Stefan was surrounded by officers and the Pastor. The officers all had their guns pointed towards him. Elena looked at the Pastor and back at Stefan.
Later, Rebekah started to wake up.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0lgwYy6xL
When she came to, she saw that her and Caroline were in a van being transported somewhere. Caroline was sitting beside her and watching her. Rebekah struggled to get out of the ropes that held her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExRiZBDQo6
"Vervain ropes. Looks like Alaric outed us all to the Council," she told the Original sister.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7LoW1P9FP
"The Council? What exactly do they think they can do to me?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfMdUEaDZk
Suddenly, the wheels of the van started to screech. The van flipped over. Caroline and Rebekah went flying. The van landed on its side.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWXguZif8J
"What the hell happened?" Rebekah questioned.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8leRMtpCu
Just then, someone opened the door. Someone unexpected.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdo358KIkm
"Katherine?" Caroline said in shock.
She knelt down at her side and ripped the ropes off her, ignoring the pain from touching them. She then did the same for Rebekah.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnrxTemJdW
"No time. Come on. Let's go," Katherine said, helping them both to their feet one by one.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8bFeCteBS
Then the three girls left the scene.
Damon was picking things up that had been knocked down during the commotion, when Liz walked into the Gilbert House and Meredith came into the living room where they were at from the kitchen.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClwlLPU4P7
"They're gone. Whoever nailed Rebekah, took them too. Please tell me you have something. Anything," Damon said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK7yneQzOe
"I can't. The Council locked Carol and me out of our offices. Files, computers, everything," Liz answered him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG4nXyTp3U
"So, the Mayor and the Sheriff never contemplated a backup plan, Liz?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBXHVeA3h6
"Damon, relax. When Caroline called to say she got away; did they know where they were planning to take her?" Meredith said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdAOoseuLx
"No. Just that she was in some van in the middle of nowhere and she managed to escape," Liz answered her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO97gRyH9tl
"Perfect. We've narrowed it down to nowhere," Damon implied.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DNbFKziXQ
Someone knocked on the front door and then Matt entered the house.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqKAjvFXaS
"Hey, is Elena here?"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8NvupfBib
Damon turned around and rushed towards Matt. He grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the wall, choking him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c9Zp01j3A
"In what world are you the one that gets to live?!"977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEEhwn5UVU
Meredith tried to pull Damon off of him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LsQHxHSWn
"Damon, stop! It wasn't his fault!" Meredith said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg15topVuh
"Let him go, Damon! Now!" Liz said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlgLJiuIge
Matt tried to pry Damon's arm off his throat.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBLR5z3sCv
Damon finally released him.
Just then, someone unexpected arrived along with Rebekah and Caroline.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmV8l44LA4
"Katherine," Damon said, looking at her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKR55UIZCF
"Damon," she said back. "I heard what Alaric cooked up. I'm here to help. In fact, I saved Caroline and Rebekah. So here we are."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmTKQTBki6
Liz and Caroline hugged.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ARBwCu66
Rebekah stood against a faraway wall.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcxFp6M2my
"Why would you go to such a length to help?" Damon inquired of his sire.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpV1NpxiOP
"Because it means my family is in danger. I also heard from somewhere what's happening with Elena. I want to help her. But that first thing is finding where they took them."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIIScM6IE6
"Yes. And how are do you suppose we do that? We don't know where the hell to look."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2V7jHN1qA
"I don't know. There might be a place somewhere where they could've taken them. It's out in the country where nobody would look."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1REmlntScd
She gave him a smile.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gApubncio
"Let's check it out."
Elena woke up in a barn on the floor. She looked around her. Vampires were coughing due to the vervain being ventilated through their cages. Elena sat up while holding her head.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK9xx1arAX
"Where am I?" she questioned.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK3vpfMsUi
"They thought you were a vampire, so they brought you in here. Elena, are you okay?" Stefan answered from the cage adjacent to Elena's cage.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpGmva92Th
"Stefan."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgSip8x5Vi
Elena tried to pull herself up but was too weak to do so.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcR4CaPCkq
"I didn't feed."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnk9UG8XVp
Stefan looked worried.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlffWKOHnf6
Elena began to get paler.
It was a dark night as Katherine, Damon, Caroline, Rebekah, Matt, Liz, and Meredith headed for the old ranch where the Pastor lived at.
977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwFEHCnygA
Back in the barn, things were turning to worst for Elena and Stefan felt helpless to help her at all this time.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SdC01bU2D
"Elena? You still with me?" he called to her from where he sat against the wall that divided him from Elena.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie8xVrVatl
Elena sat on the other side of the wall. She was even paler and was breathing heavily.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd1dRIjYhQ
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm here. I'm okay."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Tb72mH7c
"No, you're not. I can hear you breathing. Damon was right. You should have fed earlier. I'm so sorry."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQce4ep9tu
"Don't be. You had hope. That's all I ever wanted you to have and you had it."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOoF4qFBSN
"I love you so much."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWtOXeLPUh
Stefan started to cry silent tears.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanp0PTNnGI
"I love you. No matter what happens, it's the best choice I ever made," Elena said.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRHKVM0g2f
She placed her hand against the wall dividing them.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQH665AurG
"God. It sucks that I can't see you right now."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAXUskDgjR
"I'm smiling."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU81j53Jq4
"Me too."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWiA9a7b1k
Elena took her hand from the wall and closed her eyes.
While the others did the distraction to lure some of them out of the house, Katherine went to the rescue, following their scent, which soon led her to the barn where all the vampires and Elena were being held.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN9Wbn4ZSb
She walked in and scanned the place.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXVHFt7LcZ
Normally, she would've gotten Stefan out first, but seeing Elena, she knew she was the worst off.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54yLLwuSNB
She rushed over to her cage and immediately broke the lock and opened the door. Then she knelt by her.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce4OYL8dLi
"Elena?" she called softly.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG12i9Mz5V
She didn't answer.
Kat gently picked her up in her arms. She knew she was still alive, but was running out of precious time.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb4a9Pl7uF
She looked back at Stefan, once outside of Elena's cage.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ju4EFFfJ
"I'll be back for you."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41dLS2z7U9
Stefan watched, as Kat disappeared at vamp speed with Elena in her arms, so she could save Elena for once. At least, he hoped that's what she was going to do. He didn't want to lose Elena. He loved her too much.
Once outside in the front yard, she gently layed Elena down on the ground.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qCy3Jhht8
Kat looked up.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs1dBVUyDj
"Matt!" she called to him.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRRwe4XOAz
He went over to them.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRS1UpJcVF
"You need to let her feed on you."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cXinHlSrC
A few minutes later, Elena woke up as a vampire.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUji4cVJZ04
Kat helped her sit up.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J2Om1XQ78
"How do you feel?" she questioned her descendant, as everyone went over to them.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41hujQyBKx
"Better. Thanks," Elena said, even though she wasn't sure what she felt about being a vampire now.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CYdI9xVjC
"Good. I'll be back."977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhznjq4YEb
And with that, she vanished into the barn to go rescue Stefan and the other vampires that had been captured.
An hour later, the Pastor and the Council were in the Pastor's house. Pastor Young released the gas hose from the back of his stove.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWclpfd7a9
"Folks, by now, you know that the vampires have escaped. And it won't be long before they retaliate against us. But fear not. For I have been chosen to lead us in a movement," he told them, as he locked the door.977Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmMdSrQLdg
