I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnXvEVtlv8
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Oq2HsjXL
I toss the empty blood bag onto the floor and look him over, remembering Klaus saying he's unclean. And that's when I see it. The werewolf bite.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwBlgysUX9
"No," I say. "No. Damon."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYnFiopGc2
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt31H9wgQrK
"Elena, it's me. We have a problem. Did Damon tell you if he was bitten by a werewolf or not? He has a werewolf bite on his arm. And I can't get him up. Can you come over?" I say, before she can say anything.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFdtA6gR7x
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWaEzEcL0m
She hangs up and I put his phone back.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2fF8F3Ief
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW82koYPnf0
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzcEIFAq4u
I wait.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPDdLg81L1
Nothing.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVetAnzHQhi
I take his hand in mine.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVMPVoz7wy
I can't lose you, Damon. Please wake up, I think to him.
Elena soon arrives and kneels down on the left side of him. The opposite side I'm on.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyte36NTmPb
"We need to get him home," I inform her.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk3R4MBYdX
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXWOC1c9oN
"I don't know. Klaus must've taken it. And we don't have time to waste. We'll have to manage. Even if I burn alive helping him. It's worth it. I owe him one and he's my family. Family is everything to me."
By the time we get him in bed, I'm burnt terribly. I lean against the wall by his bedroom door, back against the wall, my vision blurry, my focus going in and out, as I watch Elena standing at his bedside with a wet wash cloth.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfq6m6AOtY
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmLL7VjbNI
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0NDTBZP0s
"Katherine," she says.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMDcUEjoyo
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zZwR4ktSx
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKicgHloyz
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2mwv66jLk
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JD4t2uGuk
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RESjD78K4
"I don't know."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAChnse5vz
Alaric Saltzman walks in.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSIf3Xa2QP
"How's Damon doing?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbXm1zhlbV
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8nHnLkVN9
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLTmL5HPqB
I feel myself slide down the wall, as weakness starts to come.

I go to Katherine Pierce and catch her, as she starts to slide down the wall. I see she's weak, burnt badly, and fighting to stay awake. But how much longer can she fight? Even a vampire has to give up someday. And Katherine's been fighting constantly for 500 years. I have to try and help her, though. For Elena's sake.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdfRlKfUgX
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSNNGmtx96
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgrKv8qzBv
"I'm going home," I tell Elena, before leaving with Katherine.
Not long afterward, I enter my apartment, closing the door behind myself. I then set her on her feet. I came here so Elena wouldn't know what's going to happen. I should probably kill Katherine now. Put her out of her misery with a stake through her heart. But for some reason, I can't find the will to do that to her.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIkhwF3eS3
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mvAbKLV8t
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUlJ8u7lWD
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RPqumcXDN
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHdETwLxiB
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRi2IHeezi
I gently lay her down on the floor and take my jacket off. I use my jacket to put under her head and see her skin start turning purple.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAwM5MSW6d
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs7ZXPzKts
I check to see if she's breathing. Obviously, she's not. So, even though she's a vampire, I give her some breath before pulling her into my arms gently. She's breathing again, which is a good sign. I use a knife to cut my wrist, and I gently position her head back, putting my wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to I'm feeling better. I look down at my arm and my bite mark is gone. That means I've been cured.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEEvY8wNxe
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWxMJB1A0Q
"Thanks," I say.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLktnGJINld
"You should think, Katherine too. She was nearly burnt alive getting you here. Ric's at home helping her. She told me the cure before she nearly blacked out on us," she explains.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9mO1ml1hC
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YZYeY7nHt
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv6fXeTHlL
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yLFKzMuKd
I stand by my drinking table and pour myself a shot glass of liquor, slowly sipping it.

I feel the familiar liquid once I awaken, and start drinking. But once I have my strength back, my senses come alert. I can hear someone's heart beating and hear breathing. And the blood is warm…so warm and fresh. And then I smell Alaric's scent. Everything comes flooding back and I realize I'm drinking from Alaric. He gave me his blood to save my life. He probably did it for Elena.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3tRKf4bjN
I stop drinking and open my eyes.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTWrCA8qPN
I look up at him and know I nearly died. And that means I took a lot. He's very pale. I nearly killed Elena's guardian.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSTIPxnJ42
I get to my feet, as does he.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0yf6roEiR
"Thanks," I say.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFVGsVp9cO
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvdaj1jkaz
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQZkRJuoQj
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcGL0AZvYS
"You need blood, Alaric."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVV32XhENR
"No," he argues.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb04iYrDWWB
"Alaric, you're going to die."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcrAtFTduO
"Then I'll die."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF6p0K8tBW
I hear his heart and breathing slow.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIxLlWPMxJ
"I don't want you to."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5EMVSnGtY
I look at his hand and his ring is off.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ufZfoI8yy
No, I think to myself.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLMGXhYzj2
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcrSes0Sxp
At vamp speed, I'm instantly kneeling at his side. He's still breathing. Barely. This is all my fault. I've been so stupid today.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ563Q7HVfSN
I bite my wrist and put it to his lips, making my blood go down his throat to heal him. I listen, as it helps him get stronger, and watch as his color comes back to his skin. I know he didn't want this, but I'd rather him be angry at me, than for him to die.

I come to to see myself on myself on my back on my floor. Katherine is knelt at my side.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSvEmFc6y0
I sit up.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7FIcqV32s
"Thank you."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XchyWwqHZ
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0dkY2tTUF
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPf8rwQlIQ
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec2bZDtzoN
She helps me to my feet.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIkl4qTiEp
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
