Summary: Set in S4 "American Gothic." What if Damon in danger caused Elena to turn her humanity back on? What if Rebekah hadn't tagged along? What if Elena took the cure? What will happen?710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexrLExEm1t
A/N: For those of you that haven't read the Stefan Diaries of the book series, Jack is an enemy and he called himself Jack the Ripper back in the day.
It was a dark night as Elena fed from a girl and, unbeknownst to her, Damon had disappeared out of the club.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U5p4pnK8J
As he walked down the sidewalk four blocks away from the club, he glanced at the paper in his hand that had Will's address on it.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuwPThy3Zk
Seven blocks away from the club, he was grabbed and he dropped the paper. His attacker pulled him into a dark alley and pinned him against a wall with a hand tightly around his throat.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSTZ5c5GOw
"Jack," he said, recognizing the vampire.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4EaLDTWmE
"Damon," he greeted and then added, "It's time. Any last words?"710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoSMSc6iGr
"Go to hell," Damon answered.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WYzlRpvA8
Jack smiled wickedly.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGRZU0ggyt
The Salvatore brother knew what was coming. He would die tonight. Jack had told him a long time ago that the next time he saw him, he would kill him. It was ironic to him that they had faced off in New York and now they were both in New York again.
Elena exited the club in search of Damon and felt pain in her chest, but didn't understand why. She wasn't hurt and her Sire bond with Damon wasn't in effect with her humanity turned off. At least, she didn't think so. Now she was getting feelings, though. She felt now that she had to save him; even if he was an ass at times.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPEe73WYd9
When she saw the piece of paper, she picked it up and put it in her pocket. Then she smelled Damon's scent from an alley. She turned to face the alley and walked into it. That's when she saw a vampire standing over someone. Damon Salvatore. She thought she didn't have feelings for anyone, but she apparently did.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZthR262S7
At vamp speed, she grabbed and pinned the vampire against a wall with anger and growled at him. Knowing Damon needed help and she couldn't waste time questioning the vampire though, she snapped his neck and was instantly at Damon's side on her knees.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfZ5rJsWbc
She pulled the stake out of his chest, which had missed his heart. She then set it on the ground and bit her wrist. She put it to his lips, making her blood go down his throat. As she heard the vampire wake up, she smelled another scent too.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h0SCkAjj4
Once Jack was on his feet and saw the girl, he realized they were either friends or together. Then, before he could go anywhere, the girl's identical twin pinned him against the wall with a hand around his throat. She was clearly angry.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQqQXuAM0X
"Who the hell are you and what do you think gives you the right to try and kill Damon!?" she growled.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjia9JQyGyF
"Jack. We have history. I vowed to kill him a couple centuries ago," he answered her calmly.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLLRaCi35h
She broke his right arm with her free hand and he cried out in agony.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rOUnzox5V
"I'm Katherine, Jack. You are Jack the Ripper from the 1950's. Good-bye, Jack," she replied, before she staked him, which killed him.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCc7R5XHVJ
Katherine Pierce walked towards them, as Damon came to and Elena took her wrist away.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqDAdVqq1B
Damon started to his feet and Elena helped him.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTmbJa3GuA
"Thanks," he said. "You saved my life."710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47GGPCwdSX
"You're welcome."
They turned around to see Katherine.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ0b9RPtZE
"I killed Jack. He won't be killing, or trying to kill you anymore."710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjInZEVWOC4
"We've been looking for you," Damon replied.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWUniFU4Yn
"I know. You want the cure. I don't blame you guys. Elena never should have been a vampire. She needs to be human."710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqj0DPDnqR
She stood in front of them.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSqc2kp64E
"Since when do you care about Elena?" he questioned.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpheaXy5PjL
"She is my family as much as you two are."710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUASfDEuuG
She took out the box with the cure in it.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb1qV8WDhw
"Take it," she said, and then handed it to Damon whom gladly took it. Then she left the alley.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMIzjQwmOz
He looked at Elena.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZNTmwkG7m
"I know you say you don't want the cure, but that's not really you saying it. Deep down, you want it. You really do."710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAeA1OobX2
"I know. Give it to me. I'll take it."710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cYA9wX7Ie
He gave it to her and she took it, which transformed her to being human again. Then they left the alley and went to his car to go back home to Mystic Falls.
As he drove, she looked silently out the window. He glanced at her as he drove.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLsUjmaDeJ
"Are you going to be okay?" he asked her.710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqiYcJGlKg
"I lost my brother. What do you think, Damon?" she said softly, as she tried not to break down. "And not to mention, I burned down my family home and killed people and almost killed Caroline."710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscDFvpfQfS
"I can help you, Elena. Let me."710Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrACA0wkkd7
"Then help me," she replied.
