As I lay on the hard ground, I hear Klaus' footsteps, as he walks away. Then he's gone. But the next thing I know, I hear someone racing towards me and I smell Alaric's scent.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwk9KMzubz
A few minutes later, as my vision blurs, I vaguely hear Alaric after I feel the dagger come out.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0tfIWwwTX
"Katherine, hang in there. You're going to be okay."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVf6ntzZHu
I feel the stake come out, as I weaken.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkVSIs00kM
"You'll live," he assures me.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhdo25Nd3y
He gently sits me up.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeVvZoaJBT
"Alaric," I greet.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvvLavsDKC
I feel my wounds close up, but I'm still weak.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk4qC2gdhE
He helps me to my feet and I put a hand on his shoulder to keep from falling. I feel weak and light headed.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2bExJ1Wm6
"Katherine, look at me," he says gently.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU94JGR1QS
I do.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsQ89f7yEM
He gently puts hands on either side of my head. He then looks back at me.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDz3upTmpZ
"Focus, Katherine. Focus. Stay with me."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTXyvZeDgG
I can barely stand, as he tries to keep me awake. It's hard on my part. I'm starting to lose my senses. Usually, vervain doesn't make me feel this way. But I haven't had any for a month. My body isn't used to it anymore. I feel dizzy, unsteady, drained, and unfocused. All I want to do is close my eyes. I've been fighting one thing or another for 500 years. I'm tired of fighting.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK0pf5Ozlr
"Alaric, I-" I start.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39zXBLkw5s
"Whatever you want to tell me, can probably wait until you're feeling better," he interrupts.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQjz0pENvj
"No. Alaric, I can't. I feel…" I try.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejkQ4c9J2x
I feel like I should tell him how I'm feeling.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWgVJDIhey
"I don't feel well," I finally get out.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukhtmT4O0g
He lets go of me.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNXMVO6tZX
"I know. And I'm going to help you."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1W7x6cZrl
A moment later, I collapse to the ground, but he catches me with a hand between my shoulderblades, another hand behind my head, holding me up, as I start to lose it. And then he gently picks me up in his arms. I wrap my arms gently around his neck, as he starts walking, resting my head on his shoulder.491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeNRpW0AFo
"Try to stay awake," he encourages me, as I try to fight, but I know I'm losing the fight.
