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?642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCKD8THki6
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAj9a13rmO
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCvxPZqS05
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtncSZ9xwgY
"Jack," he said, recognizing the vampire.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBmBR1esTD
"Damon," he greeted and then added, "It's time. Any last words?"642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZen4eEtNrY
"Go to hell," Damon answered.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgmfzWODVZ
Jack smiled wickedly.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v9lC3VxwR
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8EtzobRPX
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb3bvgRhXh
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcHJhuVdYZ
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWogojNUbLr
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLA8Nkj99y
"Who the hell are you and what do you think gives you the right to try and kill Damon!?" she growled.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXVYfKlyNZ
"Jack. We have history. I vowed to kill him a couple centuries ago," he answered her calmly.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR5ZtioyNW
She broke his right arm with her free hand and he cried out in agony.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5drqLCm5K
"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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgNvF683TY
Katherine Pierce walked towards them, as Damon came to and Elena took her wrist away.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknWvqtp2BD
Damon started to his feet and Elena helped him.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLrPYodgLW
"Thanks," he said. "You saved my life."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBxbfxau8t
"You're welcome."
They turned around to see Katherine.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjDvN3HbW0
"I killed Jack. He won't be killing, or trying to kill you anymore."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPpu3JNCCz
"We've been looking for you," Damon replied.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWf9Pe0nQ1
"I know. You want the cure. I don't blame you guys. Elena never should have been a vampire. She needs to be human."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq2gzn6bWH
She stood in front of them.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYO3HYFVPa
"Since when do you care about Elena?" he questioned.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIfyEupJzk
"She is my family as much as you two are."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS2K6qluOj
She took out the box with the cure in it.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9fAgTKu9F
"Take it," she said, and then handed it to Damon whom gladly took it. Then she left the alley.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJCG5jwYL7
He looked at Elena.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Cj330T68
"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."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UofbxQzUs
"I know. Give it to me. I'll take it."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx20PYClIGu
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.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXbSgdO8nv
"Are you going to be okay?" he asked her.642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGBhJQeyq4
"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."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKrq0b081S
"I can help you, Elena. Let me."642Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sSUqaDHzK
"Then help me," she replied.
