I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWU10bqWeu
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8eQGOSjKJ
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTwWhfbOBA
"No," I say. "No. Damon."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmck9JUUbJ
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDikDCiOSQ
"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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmDzaip1Dc
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xP9KvCC8a
She hangs up and I put his phone back.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnF4KvlqND
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4fOtya9EU
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFaP0n7IhQ
I wait.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7kAJABiHL
Nothing.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM51ocVyem
I take his hand in mine.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbw70W0IrH
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn8CD1qbfJ
"We need to get him home," I inform her.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ECujABgty
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYojSZDVZo
"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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hN4m7PDhP
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd7LvEbAvy
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyDkeJI1YM
"Katherine," she says.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5DwsfZknk
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hzklkvrCU
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPA4ujdUuF
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsCaVF6TO6
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU3XN5aCbj
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33qxlbdrdC
"I don't know."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCUS4dE6VD
Alaric Saltzman walks in.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aRzN76pYx
"How's Damon doing?"578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyNt1Litir
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQdaYmDGx0
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqOtYTimtK
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XnBhgs68A
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiK3uroY39
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkCPbp7MZ4
"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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPsxh1dP3D
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5cSP72ybC
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8xIWqxUiE
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8XYQbxaYq
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRZlaZe3VQ
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdNJefVRSh
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUZwns0zxR
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4LjjaCNn1
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YR3EgwyAO
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwiRDc2JJ2
"Thanks," I say.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4p0pb2yuS
"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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1c8dUlaVN
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImofTc9oQu
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzz3Wpy9UT
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEkax7640t
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQK7tOzpVY
I stop drinking and open my eyes.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoa7pzFCjJ
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPIZWws3O4
I get to my feet, as does he.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x1LZjzZlx
"Thanks," I say.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuAkUMFrEy
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G59KMEsA6
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxD3dh5l63
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5HIr2Vbc9
"You need blood, Alaric."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLNuldVN1t
"No," he argues.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwGH48AWtA
"Alaric, you're going to die."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bVYWQEo8m
"Then I'll die."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTrTnsknCn
I hear his heart and breathing slow.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYLzDDKJ82
"I don't want you to."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFFNXM52j2
I look at his hand and his ring is off.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnLBNzm0w3
No, I think to myself.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40dzardRIu
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGBxGYYBbO
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ltI5fzaQX
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.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFZYbSQHkk
I sit up.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kzQJFEWKJ
"Thank you."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRrwyMljeq
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY6K156s33
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwNAPAIaeI
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3r53YWjLo
She helps me to my feet.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxmgylyYjN
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
