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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt3xUymZct
I roll up my right sleeve and bite my wrist, as he starts to lose consciousness. I then put it to his lips.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MX4VeL33s
"Drink, Alaric," I instruct.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqPH4s3VzV
I'm very relieved when he does.
Ten minutes later, I pull my wrist away and it heals, as does his wounds.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6OsH6cLa9
He looks at me.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISifojQkAh
"Thank you."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE4pb645bO
"You're welcome."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb0Co0877O
I help him to his feet.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmB3q2OUZa
"Let's find your ring, Alaric."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXkAc2tfwX
"Well said. And clean this mess up before Elena and Jeremy get home," he adds.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIMdTKu8xz
It isn't long before I find his ring, it's on his finger, and the kitchen is cleaned up.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9uNFa8l1I
I look at him.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQhDFKK0j9
"So, what happened?"524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGjLB8p5oY
"A vampire attack."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV2W6CF7Zv
"Who was it?"524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB154Tw0Pv
"I don't know. It depends if you know anyone by the name of Logan."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV0n6jeDFr
I tense.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oihZ7P90s
"Katherine?"524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalR7MCIht4
"Alaric, where's Elena? She could be in danger."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF29KyQ7yPT
"What do you mean? Slow down and explain, Katherine."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR9nvGRKCX
"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."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV44RRgNpN
"So you think he would go after Elena?"
"Yeah; she was Elena's aunt, after all."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk271KOGgic
"Then let's go."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo62IjNCo40
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.
