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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7wDYRvwH9
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb24ekGh2xA
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcB2R2Rpny
John raised the stake.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlOJyo8zPZ
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz7xmaQf7K
He stopped when he saw Elena.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfqLh3YE4T
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVybpuhZF1
"Elena, I have to."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvu5HfPgMY
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UNOPAW08J
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xbISwt0DS
"No," Elena said firmly.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw48tm5MsOZ
He put the stake away.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZHAxcgQIA
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHQSjZ47YW
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWsJlXoBjc
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUk0zZ2BD3
Elena looked at her uncle.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfKg4FwJHr
"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."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK43PrDWjX
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HvvnwlfjE
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlYy6I7raf
John left the building.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zwR6IGV4s
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi44PZoEIp9
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGR2hGio9z
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e6aAYkYXj
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvwiCdDuSl
Caroline Forbes came over.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPEx4kPV6p
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtupcTZiZ6D
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyhV0DCFFe
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHyNfVTSxs
Nothing.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1UU6x5l0G
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8jhSlXrOi
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ipq3rpVt3
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbMezRRgnh
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJftLT2dCy
She obeyed.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLZTUamu4R
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1X6yvWR7L
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZfUukxTfM
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMgSpAHQc0
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzbWxbe3ED
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRen62FLVx
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZWCtwf2k8
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpBYqj1lof
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqjMeBjz71
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWDEMsuuEX
"You need to heal."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZmoZh8pk3
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3U26NcLhY
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7NPJ2mOdi
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0XMgRKr9M
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuDLOxaNOW
Ric got to his feet.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvd1kZh4gC
"I'll see you later then."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL0gsHRGSR
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmSyL3380d
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsYMm7C5Mg
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.
