It was a dark night as John Gilbert, Elena's uncle, stood over Anna whom had awoken. The basement was on fire and wood started falling.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNCbrpEWEK
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjFSb0sVDp
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDLDQtHjbe
John raised the stake.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOtwuqNo33
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgf64Xxkgn
He stopped when he saw Elena.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf0ymc07Bo
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr2p2bGDkC
"Elena, I have to."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrV0nc8b6w
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoXbV4cBxQ
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4L7EtDpNB
"No," Elena said firmly.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkJMpKqLRm
He put the stake away.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWXf2i1cwo
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN73pL5ay1
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwhatjgaEn
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9sDs3q11X
Elena looked at her uncle.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpxNBnLKyH
"We're the good guys. We don't kill good people. Anna, Pearl, Damon, and the others have done nothing wrong. You should just go home."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mxpd0YFOl
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFz3UejwQQ
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86EEYmQhoF
John left the building.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nw2Bf8kRY
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFXigmC7jY
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP51qiBzd00
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4LqWEs7Dl
As Caroline headed in, she knew whom John had meant. Elena. Elena was in there. And as she headed down the stairs, she saw Elena at Damon's side.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwvrNFkIzK
Caroline Forbes came over.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGuVCA14FD
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ek4XO9QO
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXK5Pf3svd
As Elena knelt at her side, Caroline did as she was told. She knew better than to argue with Elena. After all, Elena could be stubborn at times; more so than herself.
"Katherine, can you hear me?" Elena called.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMO4JVK9qE
Nothing.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Bzc0c10g
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGXNn71qNI
With that, the human look-alike put an arm around her, put Katherine's arm around her shoulders, and got to her feet, using her own body weight to hold her up. Then she headed towards the stairs as another pillar that held up the ceiling, fell and the fire got even worst. As it did, she started to cough.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAGFBCMMvq
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9cTLZebDa
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkxx0ZcXWq
She obeyed.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtHeXjW7zB
He walked into the flaming building to help Elena out, when he saw her with Katherine. He gently carried the vampiress when he saw them, Elena at his side.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphJcNMMg3P
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwp3WwbluW
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc44H4rGgC
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8Hn5jvvak
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWMwej4wHi
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioQsA4qn5p
Elena cut her wrist, pulled Katherine gently into her arms, and put her wrist to the vampiress' lips, making the blood go down her throat.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavPXx91FoA
Alaric didn't know what to do for Damon, so he just looked down at his friend. He'd give him his blood, but the Vampire Hunter had issues with giving vampires his blood.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1bDhtOUcz
A few minutes later, Katherine started to drink. But a few moments later, she stopped and looked up at Elena. She then sat up and held out her wrist after biting it.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt90piKp9l8
"You need to heal."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOErlZKOqD
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4TneUejr3
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xGoMcX8zG
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGQpIwieMm
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUThP9npyiN
Ric got to his feet.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VXReoueGC
"I'll see you later then."550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZmTe532v6
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdkOQtM8hY
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.550Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFInWL2hRyI
Not long afterward, he drank before letting go and looking up at them. Then he got to his feet and together, the three of them left.
