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.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr6RW7wSqY
I roll up my right sleeve and bite my wrist, as he starts to lose consciousness. I then put it to his lips.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb0bYjRno8
"Drink, Alaric," I instruct.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZAxptMVAe
I'm very relieved when he does.
Ten minutes later, I pull my wrist away and it heals, as does his wounds.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTiOIgibIw
He looks at me.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJQx0uQlSc
"Thank you."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Hp7RYqtY
"You're welcome."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5PSV0CUub
I help him to his feet.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBadUFxmATs
"Let's find your ring, Alaric."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmAzQ6DLwV
"Well said. And clean this mess up before Elena and Jeremy get home," he adds.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgse2WeLyR
It isn't long before I find his ring, it's on his finger, and the kitchen is cleaned up.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqR9Uq1QRb
I look at him.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzooJPEeAyn
"So, what happened?"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7tIt60aaJ
"A vampire attack."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWPT5512Dz
"Who was it?"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUNadEiHgk
"I don't know. It depends if you know anyone by the name of Logan."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1jjD66Is2
I tense.480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXCZcW6ve9
"Katherine?"480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjRUCJMkBJ
"Alaric, where's Elena? She could be in danger."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBYokMnrcV
"What do you mean? Slow down and explain, Katherine."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkfjPk0j8v
"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."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jQ33yyOts
"So you think he would go after Elena?"
"Yeah; she was Elena's aunt, after all."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAlxxEbUrU
"Then let's go."480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMFp186uQp
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.
