He doesn't answer me, when I tell him what he needs. And I can hear his ragged breathing and slowing heart. He can barely breathe and I know this.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWrs9OVut8
I roll up my right sleeve and bite my wrist, as he starts to lose consciousness. I then put it to his lips.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GdmMvXqab
"Drink, Alaric," I instruct.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWhgiEvXI6
I'm very relieved when he does.
Ten minutes later, I pull my wrist away and it heals, as does his wounds.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROBKI1iVFX
He looks at me.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkYCXABJHS
"Thank you."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8c78NNJAy
"You're welcome."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLV1vDM0l4
I help him to his feet.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjrKrrubkG
"Let's find your ring, Alaric."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF8KpgCILu
"Well said. And clean this mess up before Elena and Jeremy get home," he adds.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDNJsIfiit
It isn't long before I find his ring, it's on his finger, and the kitchen is cleaned up.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuSZA3nqjT
I look at him.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnDnR2HeoK
"So, what happened?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SXkMnzhvp
"A vampire attack."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DMVqIjkI1
"Who was it?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf19rBrBwk6
"I don't know. It depends if you know anyone by the name of Logan."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7ABiW9aUS
I tense.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt7bt4ChMF
"Katherine?"515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9PUCZ1EWA
"Alaric, where's Elena? She could be in danger."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB99MKn1f4i
"What do you mean? Slow down and explain, Katherine."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXl39fE1GB
"Logan was Elena's Aunt Jenna's old boyfriend. Someone, I don't know who, must've turned him. He might be looking for Jenna. He might not know that she's dead."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWUuHSVCNs
"So you think he would go after Elena?"
"Yeah; she was Elena's aunt, after all."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnOtN4dtaj
"Then let's go."515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIEWFg936D
We head out the back, closing the door behind us, walking side by side. And as we walk, I use my senses to guide me, searching for his scent and Elena's.
