I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kG5LWqNbm
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU6d42uI0u
I toss the empty blood bag onto the floor and look him over, remembering Klaus saying he's unclean. And that's when I see it. The werewolf bite.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oxcHkCwvi
"No," I say. "No. Damon."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x8KDIwNCt
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TEo7V6bpC
"Elena, it's me. We have a problem. Did Damon tell you if he was bitten by a werewolf or not? He has a werewolf bite on his arm. And I can't get him up. Can you come over?" I say, before she can say anything.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u7hLV4JOT
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIDN6KMyAn
She hangs up and I put his phone back.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X2LnYHyi6
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeBYx3RteY
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3i5Deubbi
I wait.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGjoR43BRb
Nothing.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO02PkVgTM
I take his hand in mine.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdum07hRK3v
I can't lose you, Damon. Please wake up, I think to him.
Elena soon arrives and kneels down on the left side of him. The opposite side I'm on.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeXJLtLo0h
"We need to get him home," I inform her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLDdlOFWvm
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5gyhnSeWf
"I don't know. Klaus must've taken it. And we don't have time to waste. We'll have to manage. Even if I burn alive helping him. It's worth it. I owe him one and he's my family. Family is everything to me."
By the time we get him in bed, I'm burnt terribly. I lean against the wall by his bedroom door, back against the wall, my vision blurry, my focus going in and out, as I watch Elena standing at his bedside with a wet wash cloth.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUwU45nQoD
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABRihHx0Bs
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqveHkakjn6
"Katherine," she says.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudjJ8xcQEf
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP2mhOSwGE
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstZDTgS9x7
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcvYlBUxqC
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE5wPLnYFu
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7WSHWxXnn
"I don't know."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBj5RqQQ5r
Alaric Saltzman walks in.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXByuvMRdzD
"How's Damon doing?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rZuqEA6Gz
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6EyUe2LVJ
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6kxlzWGZM
I feel myself slide down the wall, as weakness starts to come.

I go to Katherine Pierce and catch her, as she starts to slide down the wall. I see she's weak, burnt badly, and fighting to stay awake. But how much longer can she fight? Even a vampire has to give up someday. And Katherine's been fighting constantly for 500 years. I have to try and help her, though. For Elena's sake.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSYmxKono9
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquQ5LhByTq
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNKI0ZsHfy
"I'm going home," I tell Elena, before leaving with Katherine.
Not long afterward, I enter my apartment, closing the door behind myself. I then set her on her feet. I came here so Elena wouldn't know what's going to happen. I should probably kill Katherine now. Put her out of her misery with a stake through her heart. But for some reason, I can't find the will to do that to her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK2DPr6sZv
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ScJJDhXz
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQBHHuaqYg
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAngglkEU4
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqQ5ATmPQs
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKzBpK4zfu
I gently lay her down on the floor and take my jacket off. I use my jacket to put under her head and see her skin start turning purple.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VmhDT7TzP
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SUtR9jyr6
I check to see if she's breathing. Obviously, she's not. So, even though she's a vampire, I give her some breath before pulling her into my arms gently. She's breathing again, which is a good sign. I use a knife to cut my wrist, and I gently position her head back, putting my wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to I'm feeling better. I look down at my arm and my bite mark is gone. That means I've been cured.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzm2NThRdY
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYvbzY2EFx
"Thanks," I say.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6XRaQWgFq
"You should think, Katherine too. She was nearly burnt alive getting you here. Ric's at home helping her. She told me the cure before she nearly blacked out on us," she explains.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g2o50LwiM
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZEehilJY9
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6IynVj4Lu
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9CeK1W787
I stand by my drinking table and pour myself a shot glass of liquor, slowly sipping it.

I feel the familiar liquid once I awaken, and start drinking. But once I have my strength back, my senses come alert. I can hear someone's heart beating and hear breathing. And the blood is warm…so warm and fresh. And then I smell Alaric's scent. Everything comes flooding back and I realize I'm drinking from Alaric. He gave me his blood to save my life. He probably did it for Elena.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4OF9G8hJ7
I stop drinking and open my eyes.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcGZ68KF5a
I look up at him and know I nearly died. And that means I took a lot. He's very pale. I nearly killed Elena's guardian.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBdJZ9oJMK
I get to my feet, as does he.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1swHBdIpr
"Thanks," I say.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdin1NSltPm
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcuunjQB0K
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri7DG2BIju
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVV0L3KKiH
"You need blood, Alaric."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep8ckwdIva
"No," he argues.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnRO8BCFlE
"Alaric, you're going to die."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPXBNcXp7W
"Then I'll die."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDJ1EnYW3a
I hear his heart and breathing slow.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeE6FOtoex
"I don't want you to."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxjxJWgpYD
I look at his hand and his ring is off.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJdRaiUKMr
No, I think to myself.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMxXsTUiv5
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAohqX53Mv
At vamp speed, I'm instantly kneeling at his side. He's still breathing. Barely. This is all my fault. I've been so stupid today.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R1BTCNfN5
I bite my wrist and put it to his lips, making my blood go down his throat to heal him. I listen, as it helps him get stronger, and watch as his color comes back to his skin. I know he didn't want this, but I'd rather him be angry at me, than for him to die.

I come to to see myself on myself on my back on my floor. Katherine is knelt at my side.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uWBPoTkic
I sit up.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApukV7ar9U
"Thank you."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZx6xVEVPF
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pBj5p3bcI
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkUX3KSe0Z
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz3dFc1Gev
She helps me to my feet.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VbJimAUDF
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
