It was a dark night, as Elena Gilbert walked inside her home, closing the door behind her. That's when she saw her caretaker. Alaric. He was standing in front of the stairs, a bloody knife in hand. That's when she knew what was going on. Even without that ring, it was still happening to him. The madness he would never remember. The bloodshed of others.
"Are you alone?" he asked her.
"Yes," she answered truthfully.
He lunged towards her and she ran off in the direction of the kitchen.
He ran after her.
He grabbed her arm, but then was thrown to the floor.
They both looked to see Katherine Pierce. She gave Elena a small smile and then turned to Alaric, just in time for him to stab Katherine in the abdomen.
Katherine pushed Alaric away from her and through the knife out of her wound and across the floor. Then she put a hand to her wound and grabbed the bar, leaning into it.
Elena stood there and watched the scene in both horror and shock. Katherine was back and had just saved her life. Now she was hurt, but still fighting. All because of her. Just for her. Family truly did mean something to Katherine, after all. In the end, she would fight with the rest of her existence for family, love, and loyalty. Something that made her seem as human as possible.
Katherine looked at Elena.
"Run," she ordered.
Without hesitation, Elena ran up the stairs and in search of the one person that was missing from the scene. Meredith. The doctor. The one Damon liked to call crazy.
When she opened the bathroom door, there she was. She was alive, but hurt. Elena closed the door and went to her.
"How bad is it?" Elena asked her.
Meredith sat on the edge of the bathtub and looked at her.
"Just a little gash. I'll be fine."
Elena went to the cabinet and got some first-aid stuff out.
As Elena finished up, they heard a big thud noise and then silence.
"What was that?" Meredith asked.
"Alaric and Katherine. Katherine saved me."
Meredith opened the door.
Elena came to stand by her and they both walked out. That's when they saw Katherine on her side on the floor at the bottom of the stairs.
As they came down some more, they didn't see him anywhere.
"I'll go find Ric," Meredith said, before heading off to the living room.
Elena knelt down beside her. There was a knife in her abdomen and she had other stab wounds. Elena reached her hand down to the handle and pulled the knife out. She then layed it down.
Katherine gasped and coughed after Elena pulled it out of her. Her wounds began healing, but she was weak. She needed blood.
Katherine weakly looked up at her.
Elena knew what she needed, and put her wrist to the vampiress' lips.
Kat slowly sucked her blood.
A few minutes later, Kat was fine. So everybody lived as happily as they could.
