It's a beautiful day, as Elena and Elijah walk inside the boarding house. Stefan and I are in the living room. Katherine is missing now and Elena is ready to give her life to save everyone else.338Please respect copyright.PENANANBUlVH0Nlm
"You invited him in?" I ask.338Please respect copyright.PENANAH4JC8nBivl
"Yes. Elijah has promised to forgive us for killing him, if we apologize. He's going to help us," Elena tells us both.338Please respect copyright.PENANA85InBDMU2h
"I'm not apologizing for killing him," I tell her.338Please respect copyright.PENANASuHBW87Z9h
Stefan apologizes for killing Elijah and then Elena looks at Elijah after I tell her that and says, "He'll come around."338Please respect copyright.PENANA7is6yyT5ya
"I doubt it," Elijah replies to her.338Please respect copyright.PENANACCVxZm5ZKG
Elijah explains to us all about the Moon curse that was cast upon Klaus, before he pulls out an elixir and a dagger. The dagger will be used to kill Klaus, which Elijah will do, he tells us. He also tells us that the elixir will bring Elena back to life after Klaus kills her in the ritual. I don't like it, though.338Please respect copyright.PENANAN62i3bfXkV
After Elijah leaves, I force-feed Elena my blood to be sure that she will come back to life. I don't apologize to her for doing so, but I am sorry for doing it. I don't like taking away Elena's free will to do what she wants. I care for her too much to lose her, though.338Please respect copyright.PENANAhyV1NchoG7
Later, Andie and I go to Ric's place and knock, guessing where Katherine is at.338Please respect copyright.PENANAUhAJn3QB9n
When Katherine opens the door, I know that I was right.338Please respect copyright.PENANA6hUTtVtBhs
"What are you doing?" she asks me.338Please respect copyright.PENANAHxUh1zta6P
Andie walks inside the apartment and gives her the bottle of vervain, before she walks outside and stands beside me again.338Please respect copyright.PENANA6nWBd5DRFq
"Seeing if you're worthy of our help," I reply, before I walk away.
Later that afternoon, I find out that Tyler and Caroline have been captured and are being held in a cellar. I go to the rescue, only to see Matt Donovan come towards me in the woods with his rifle raised to me.338Please respect copyright.PENANAQbbXQwpaRB
"Where's Caroline?" he asks me.338Please respect copyright.PENANAPx7h7IBa5s
"Easy," I say, before I knock him out with his own rifle at vamp speed. I then go in search of Caroline Forbes and Tyler Lockwood. I don't care about Tyler, but I do care about Caroline. Caroline and I had a thing once upon a time and she's Elena's best friend.338Please respect copyright.PENANAMaO8WJjg8T
When I find them, I unchain Caroline.338Please respect copyright.PENANAxmWHoIylCC
"Let's go," I say.338Please respect copyright.PENANA2sGHJNQLVi
"I'm not going without him," she says.338Please respect copyright.PENANAZy0Iq5mrNR
I sigh in irritation that I have to rescue a werewolf too, but Caroline can be very stubborn, so I have to do what she wants or we'll never get out of here. So I unchain Tyler and we head for the Lockwood cellar since it won't be long before Tyler will start to phase werewolf. And I don't feel like getting into a fight with a full phased werewolf tonight. Not if I don't have to, anyway.
We stop when Tyler starts phasing and he says, "I can't hold it off. It's happening too quickly. You have to leave me. Go."338Please respect copyright.PENANAZTxukT7s9z
"No. We're almost there," Caroline urges him.338Please respect copyright.PENANAqlRxC5Njyg
It's no use, though, because a few minutes later, he's a phasing werewolf and lunges towards Caroline. I know I must protect Elena's best friend, so at vamp speed, I go to stand between him and Caroline. And then, when he lunges towards her, I push him away from her and he lunges for me. Then I'm on the ground on my back with Tyler on top of me, hands on his shoulders to try and keep him from not biting me. I don't feel like dying anytime soon.338Please respect copyright.PENANAPTrGdvpQOu
Finally, I push him off me and we run for our lives. And as we do, Matt uses his rifle to shoot at Tyler.
Later on, I go to Ric's place again and open the door. Klaus is there this time. Katherine is there too. She's in a corner, as she watches us when I walk in, since there's no longer an invisible shield blocking my way.338Please respect copyright.PENANALXRX1dlv02
"I wasn't expecting you," Klaus greets, though it's not really a greeting.338Please respect copyright.PENANAlyjjeFbkkN
"I have come to be part of the ritual tonight."338Please respect copyright.PENANAYhZi4wFhZB
"Be a good vampire and don't screw this up," Klaus answers me, before he rushes towards me at super speed and then everything goes black.
When I wake up, Katherine is knelt at my side and Klaus is gone. I'm on my back on the floor.338Please respect copyright.PENANAc1WpodGsce
"Why didn't you do anything?" I ask her, as I start to my feet and she does likewise.338Please respect copyright.PENANAUgeSplD4j5
"If I had, Klaus would know that I'm on vervain. He can't know," she replies.338Please respect copyright.PENANA2kkgGp8lZy
"I gave you vervain so you can have your own choice," I answer her.338Please respect copyright.PENANARasXO0oN3H
I get to my feet and she notices something on my arm that I didn't notice before.338Please respect copyright.PENANAoy0b0vzixR
"What's that?" she asks me.338Please respect copyright.PENANAjX7ytpLe0r
I look at my arm and then at her.338Please respect copyright.PENANAMC0FLNh0N3
"A werewolf bite," I answer her.338Please respect copyright.PENANAyekWi0joKB
I sit at the table and look at it again.338Please respect copyright.PENANADFyEPlJKGf
"So...no goodbye?" she asks me.338Please respect copyright.PENANAnCCEhkKQob
"For you?" I ask, looking at her. "You don't deserve a goodbye."
That night, I arrive in the woods after the ritual. I go to Elena where she lays dead, and gently pick her up in my arms, before I stop by Stefan whom tells me to take her home.338Please respect copyright.PENANASdnfcLxQ5K
"What about you?" I ask him.338Please respect copyright.PENANA6oLVlq7dZ1
"I'll be fine," he replies.338Please respect copyright.PENANA7iQc1CYH10
I walk towards the Gilbert house with her in my arms.
Once there, I gently lay her down on her couch in her living room and kneel in front of her. I gently brush some hair out of her face and tuck it behind her ear.338Please respect copyright.PENANAd1dE8iAamD
"I swear, if you wake up a vampire, I'll kill you myself," I vow.338Please respect copyright.PENANA93x5t31AtA
I wait for her to wake up.
When she awakens, she puts a hand to the side of her head like it hurts her.338Please respect copyright.PENANAneD6Fava6S
"How do you feel?" I ask her.338Please respect copyright.PENANAliZ1VUb5SW
"I feel...fine," she answers me.338Please respect copyright.PENANApkKYxElSNB
I sigh in relief.
