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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVVHgnMFeM
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZn78uv2wk
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GRJLWbchP
John raised the stake.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqHDyBj1iA
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWKyH9feKJ
He stopped when he saw Elena.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0AdEml7AQ
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Azjs0i7J8
"Elena, I have to."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mYckZ432l
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJL5ize0CF
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURmGs0FIk7
"No," Elena said firmly.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMfxnGGOsJ
He put the stake away.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhx1WqHFXx
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZmxnQBntt
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagIM5LEZBw
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxcozaQqhM
Elena looked at her uncle.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR3Bd1DfN5
"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."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFQUTDo3V6
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrL88RLIW5
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw212GyXGtS
John left the building.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNvAQ11GOX
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTxt1JYo56
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U3aRYJbhb
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmQqhAN0VM
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu8fAwXSMy
Caroline Forbes came over.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQDlIT2iDy
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ibPxcYBR
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2OM0fHCa7
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ge42KNthc
Nothing.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVqwiqOC01
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEzyd7CIDM
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Fa9p91TI
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRZBx34FdC
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznkWLJFCKU
She obeyed.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvuk97bLqc
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB2TZSweoX
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpP0GnJS0f
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYVIBLhRDA
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVKOLPF3rx
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YsyNMUWRj
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdBZgigFTP
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt85pgIFpki
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw5DRrR35s
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Bk9zqCn2
"You need to heal."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdN7BxGFSl
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemlxItKqjS
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0oxHwJ84L
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuZCPKB8fP
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PWW3KiQzA
Ric got to his feet.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMXSYEXC94
"I'll see you later then."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSgxpdnSx0
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XjrT1Q9IW
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI6aELx6x8
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.
