Summary: What if Katherine was in Growing Pains when Elena was turning into a vampire? What if Klaus hadn't been there to pull Caroline and Rebekah out in Tyler's body? What if Caroline and Rebekah had had an unexpected helper?
It was a beautiful day, as Elena opened her eyes to see that she was in her room at home. Stefan and Damon were in the room with her, Damon seated on a chair by the door, Stefan seated on a chair in front of her bed.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhV1b9rYL5
She sat up.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbZ47QVaRP
"You've been in and out for hours," Stefan said.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmoMEHEAdt
"What happened? How did you save me?" she asked.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgeTEFQDH1
"He didn't," Damon told her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjs2cQGDLV
"Wait. What?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXZpPiWKuc
Stefan explained to her what Meredith had done.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVwtljHRJq
"So what? Am I dead?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2mf5pLawN
"You're in transition. You're not fully alive and you're not fully dead."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuyWWZigkt
"No. I can't be."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GEi3X6EPR
"I have Bonnie looking into it. She might be able to reverse it."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqaHl2nKxQ
"No. You feed or you die. There's no third door," Damon said before getting up and leaving the room.
He went downstairs to the kitchen to get a shot glass of liquor from Elena's cupboard.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkLUE4TKDZ
Stefan came down the stairs just then and into the kitchen.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsubqNGCzj
He watched his elder brother.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5iErt5Yby
"You know, you can't do anything about it," Damon told his brother. "If she doesn't feed by this afternoon, she'll die tonight."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJimvwQKPif
"Damon, you weren't there when Elena looked me in the eye and told me she didn't want to become a vampire. We still have a day before she has to turn."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4tbr6HjYi
"Whatever. Always the hero," Damon commented, grabbing his glass from the counter and slowly sipping it.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM2rLdezkt
Stefan left the room, as Damon finished his drink.

Back at Elena's room, Elena was looking in her mirror, as her hearing intensified. It was so intense; she could hear the electricity running through a light bulb and she looking down at it, once she had entered the hallway outside her room.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDE30PjXiP
Her younger brother, Jeremy, walked over to her from down the other end of the hallway.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGIW7jseGR
"Jer," she greeted.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMbDK13kbs
They hugged.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyYNpiK99d
"Are you okay? I watched Vicki go through this, she was a mess. Her emotions were all over the place. All these old memories came flooding back."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0M91R5zmN
Elena glanced over at the light bulb again, but turned back to face Jeremy again.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhSzwVR9eb
"I'm fine. I'm not Vicki."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV30xgdbEST
"No, you're not. You're act like everything's okay so no one worries about you but you need help."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuNS90VlUr
Elena kept glancing at the light bulb.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnqkktovbf
"I said I'm fine, okay?" she said all snappy. "I-I'm sorry. I…Have you talked to Bonnie?" she then said more herself.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhuL9d4gQf
"Yeah, she said when I was shot, she made some plea to the witch spirit to bring me back and they listened.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymidP6fTuL
"Yeah, but the consequences were horrible."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQBqzUb63G
"And what could be more horrible than you turning into a vampire? I need my sister, not another one of them."
"We're going to find a way out of this. Everything's going to be okay."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUlT9yADB6
"I hope so."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRkn97GafT
Elena watched her only brother leave. She then turned around at the light bulb in the lamp and strode over to it. Then she pulled off the lampshade and crushed the light bulb in her hand.
Bonnie was in the Lockwood cellar, staring at Klaus' desiccated body which was lying in a coffin.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjCyoK5Ry1
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Klaus said.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZkKXmP3AH
Bonnie turned around and saw Klaus in Tyler's body entering the cellar.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam82NTpFK2
"What is that doing here, Klaus? The deal we made with Tyler was that you'd leave his body and jump into someone else's the first chance you got."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1DYMlOb0z
"Yes, when I assumed I'd be a pile of ash. But apparently, fate and oxygen intervened and there I am."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOgYVoJ6dz
Klaus walked towards the coffin.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5lPpLiNQP
"Put me back."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqDIvHJW3l
"I can't right now."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYedWq0rDMS
"Your history teacher outed Tyler and Caroline to the Council. They're on a war path and this body's vulnerable."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy0qfQZ7OB
"I have to help Elena before she has to feed."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdaYARiI2q
"Elena's dead and no longer my concern."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWypxhWNwbj
"You're forgetting who just saved your life."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBQghSXm13
Klaus grabbed Bonnie by the throat.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s9tVDjf8k
"And you're forgetting that I could rip your tongue out. Now put me back."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoot7uKk1Dw
"If I can keep Elena human, you'll still have an endless blood supply to make your hybrids. Isn't that what you really want?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPhZaPIati
Klaus released Bonnie.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMYeQe2nYf
Bonnie started to leave, but Klaus was instantly in front of her and blocked her way out.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm6A1X3Ogh
"Same rules apply. No one knows. No one. Do you understand me, Bonnie?"
Meredith was walking down the hallway of the hospital, when Pastor Young and some deputies approached her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Tmrf5WoS
She stopped.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t2Glfo5Vw
"Pastor Young. To what do we owe the honor? And don't tell me it's your blood pressure again."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOZMui7S2q
"Honestly, I wish it were."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjbw32pmpA
He turned to the deputies behind them.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5oa7ivmEv
"Blood bank's in the basement. One of you sweep the rooms."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcSZadioBP
"Who gave you that authority?" Meredith questioned.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSVXkHqnsf
"The Council. They're entrusted me to secure the town and unlike some of our Founding Families, I don't have conflicting interests."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf7phLdnfd
"What is that supposed to mean?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4lhsQBd5Z
"Alaric Saltzman told us everything, Meredith. Probably time to start looking for a new job."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzWbpSYvxt
Pastor Young left Meredith there.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMO0Shjh1K
Caroline was talking to Matt before there were interrupted by a deputy opening the door. But Caroline was quick and was instantly out of sight before the door even opened.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxffkXlMFMH
"Can I help you?" Matt asked the officer.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbBMp04EJy
"Sorry."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW6kqKMRci
He got on his dispatch and said, "All good here."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0oqiGYFVM
He exited the room and closed the door.
An officer handcuffed Carol Lockwood at the Lockwood Mansion. Pastor Young stood nearby.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLdtp7WWOG
"What's going on?" she asked.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU0qOwkF72
The officer started to lead Carol out of her house.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC71iRUE8bE
"We just need to ask you a few questions about your son."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEj25so0ER
"You can't arrest me! I'm the Mayor of this town!"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhyAgoc6KO
"Not anymore you're not."
Sheriff Forbes was walking to the police department when Pastor Young stopped her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgttH4aqTp
"Sorry, Liz. You're not going to work today."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73kwAL4RF9
"What are you talking about?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol3da3fdwC
The deputies surrounded the two of them.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTcct4kPyb
"They're taking your badge. You're not fit to protect us anymore."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLECHYCUQj
"You have no idea what you're up against."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK6DbWLPn0
"On the contrary Liz, I've already taken your deputies. We've got the entire town's supply of vervain, including the stash we found in the Salvatore house. We're making our move."
Caroline was heading out of the Forbes' residence, when her mother called her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhNrnb48Np
"Where are you? And please tell me it's somewhere faraway," Liz told her daughter.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF1F9wzZtX
"Where am I? Uh…good question. Uh…there's just a whole lot of boring highways. Why, is everything okay?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHzUagVFLW
Suddenly, an officer snuck up behind her and stabbed her in the side of her neck with a syringe.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW0lrP2eP8
"Caroline, what's going on?" Liz asked.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHCGtm6o2A
The phone hit the porch.
Elena and Stefan were in the kitchen.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPpS4DC0TZ
Elena took a bite of a sandwich.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzyTbk4t1R
"It's disgusting," Stefan commented, watching her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEgVWVzY5Z
"No it's, um…"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIfisFy8Uc
"It's disgusting," he repeated.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOxImEcpmE
She spit it out onto a napkin.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTZD8Xetbj
"I never thought I would say this, but I can't stop thinking about blood."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHzGsLFlHR
"I should have saved you first. You shouldn't be going through this now."
"No, if you have saved me, then Matt would be dead. What do you think I'd be going through then?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx60xGi8tLV
Stefan poured himself a drink and took a sip.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QtAxkrFd1
Elena got up and walked over to him.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMGrGE3mQz
"Stefan, listen to me. You did the right thing. You did what you always do. You respected my choice."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsFMwiix7f
"And what am I supposed to do if Bonnie can't figure out a way to help you? Because then you have another choice to make. Either let yourself die or be a vampire."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYP8YOBbZj
"Well, then we'll cross that bridge when we get there."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLrt4zweHQ
Suddenly, Elena started laughing.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dr3uGi98z
"Oh my God, did-did I just say "cross that bridge"?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g9uVfZXdJ
Elena started laughing maniacally.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEuochEMxB
"You're laughing. I'm pretty sure you don't actually think that's funny."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfKZVUDX0G
"I can't stop though," she said, continuing to laugh.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrR6owwWLc
"Your emotions are a bit heightened today. A lot heightened."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEFYGtyceJ
She continued laughing but then started to cry.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Ko6E1kdZ
He hugged her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQpQaHLJrw
"Hey, shh, shh. It's okay. It's okay."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DwDU9fqaw
"I'm sorry. I…"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtmH5R80ew
He pulled away and caressed her face.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FrEWzJPNa
"Listen to me. No matter what happens, I'm here for you. I can help you."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cl1V3BxR2
Elena looked out the window and squinted her eyes due to the brightness of the sunlight.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS8tc0WKUO
"Why don't you go back upstairs where it's dark? I'll clean up."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tTUCPcPc2
Elena started to walk away and shielded her eyes from the sun.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA80mPKyDk
She walked up the stairs into her room where she started to remember something that a while back, Damon had compelled her to forget.
*Flashback*
"Cute PJ's," Damon commented, sitting on her windowsill.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCrOpZqqrN
"I'm tired, Damon."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAf4NtBX9p
Damon got up and walked over to Elena, holding up her vervain necklace.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXGAtV0tm0
"I brought you this."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGa7kX5xGX
"I thought it was gone. Thank you."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcAESJT2QU
Elena tried to take it from Damon, but he pulled it back.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRepD2Ro05
"Please give it back."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqQs6ef21A
"I just have to say something."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw6DxNvQrB
"Why do you have to say it with my necklace?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkZJsC8ylG
"Because what I'm about to say is probably the most selfish thing I've ever said in my life."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOarqxCTSr
"Damon, don't go there."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEteDj1Jga
"No, I just have to say it once. You just need to hear it. I love you, Elena. And it's because I love you, that I can't be selfish with you. Why you can't know this? I don't deserve you, but my brother does."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALQ4AFMtT4
Damon kissed Elena on the forehead.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmVc54C0nT
"God, I wish you didn't have to forget this. But you do."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomWVGSjpdF
Damon compelled Elena to forget.
*End of flashback*
Elena touched her neck and looked down.
Rebekah looked at pictures Klaus had drawn at the Original house. She picked one up and began to choke up, almost crying. She threw the pictures down and knocked the rest of them off the table in a fit of rage.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvVzZrPs1M
Damon entered the room behind her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaAnv7XqUx
"You should know better than to sneak up on a lady."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtvRbXhz46
"Good advice. Have you seen one?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ByKmBp9EO
Rebekah turned around to face him.
"Tragic about Elena. Not to make a grey cloud grayer, but does Matt even have automobile insurance?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpsRysLJFf
Rebekah turned back around.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClTWukbnyJ
Damon rushed at her with the indestructible white oak stake. She grabbed his wrist and prevented him from killing her. She pushed him against a dresser and he dropped the stake.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZme84Cbur
Suddenly, someone started firing wooden bullets through the window. Damon managed to escape, but Rebekah was shot in the heart with an arrow and fell to the ground.
Elena picked up a photo of her with her parents and looked at it a bit.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv4Pg5AXyK
Suddenly, she heard a commotion downstairs and walked down the stairs.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfyYgaAm8g
"Stefan?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsouYajR9G
"Elena, don't move."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXHsGIJMIC
Elena stopped on the stair case. Stefan was surrounded by officers and the Pastor. The officers all had their guns pointed towards him. Elena looked at the Pastor and back at Stefan.
Later, Rebekah started to wake up.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGTXpRTFOc
When she came to, she saw that her and Caroline were in a van being transported somewhere. Caroline was sitting beside her and watching her. Rebekah struggled to get out of the ropes that held her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG7LbS0nX9
"Vervain ropes. Looks like Alaric outed us all to the Council," she told the Original sister.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5NMfhxZ5M
"The Council? What exactly do they think they can do to me?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvgeFHPKnx
Suddenly, the wheels of the van started to screech. The van flipped over. Caroline and Rebekah went flying. The van landed on its side.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwkOVEnyzF
"What the hell happened?" Rebekah questioned.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUsuo0Squn
Just then, someone opened the door. Someone unexpected.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvjk98b5k7
"Katherine?" Caroline said in shock.
She knelt down at her side and ripped the ropes off her, ignoring the pain from touching them. She then did the same for Rebekah.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYL77P1TBU
"No time. Come on. Let's go," Katherine said, helping them both to their feet one by one.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukOKaI1csX
Then the three girls left the scene.
Damon was picking things up that had been knocked down during the commotion, when Liz walked into the Gilbert House and Meredith came into the living room where they were at from the kitchen.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvCUWPuMhY
"They're gone. Whoever nailed Rebekah, took them too. Please tell me you have something. Anything," Damon said.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7LzkBZ34z
"I can't. The Council locked Carol and me out of our offices. Files, computers, everything," Liz answered him.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkqi51UpBq
"So, the Mayor and the Sheriff never contemplated a backup plan, Liz?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jNiFyLsAL
"Damon, relax. When Caroline called to say she got away; did they know where they were planning to take her?" Meredith said.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1a3Vxe9wU
"No. Just that she was in some van in the middle of nowhere and she managed to escape," Liz answered her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Zz2U8yNr
"Perfect. We've narrowed it down to nowhere," Damon implied.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsgQcCkAZW
Someone knocked on the front door and then Matt entered the house.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboG2YWQaPH
"Hey, is Elena here?"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbwhRf1tj7
Damon turned around and rushed towards Matt. He grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the wall, choking him.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22kfi9JVCJ
"In what world are you the one that gets to live?!"720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyuIlnbJcO
Meredith tried to pull Damon off of him.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9CiPeDxB7
"Damon, stop! It wasn't his fault!" Meredith said.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRiBLSZXJr
"Let him go, Damon! Now!" Liz said.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKripxLhLz
Matt tried to pry Damon's arm off his throat.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2CMT9i0G8
Damon finally released him.
Just then, someone unexpected arrived along with Rebekah and Caroline.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0daZjm5UhQ
"Katherine," Damon said, looking at her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmoVdJdCIT
"Damon," she said back. "I heard what Alaric cooked up. I'm here to help. In fact, I saved Caroline and Rebekah. So here we are."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqRiDkL6FB
Liz and Caroline hugged.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2cjZw5OXx
Rebekah stood against a faraway wall.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwXJBsV8Ia
"Why would you go to such a length to help?" Damon inquired of his sire.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecoGtB0j45
"Because it means my family is in danger. I also heard from somewhere what's happening with Elena. I want to help her. But that first thing is finding where they took them."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku4aAqWV9h
"Yes. And how are do you suppose we do that? We don't know where the hell to look."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cq4P956we
"I don't know. There might be a place somewhere where they could've taken them. It's out in the country where nobody would look."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85SaC1RBm7
She gave him a smile.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1RIzPw8Kp
"Let's check it out."
Elena woke up in a barn on the floor. She looked around her. Vampires were coughing due to the vervain being ventilated through their cages. Elena sat up while holding her head.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfOTxsTp7J
"Where am I?" she questioned.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUjZKIbg7n
"They thought you were a vampire, so they brought you in here. Elena, are you okay?" Stefan answered from the cage adjacent to Elena's cage.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkeXtxo7ft
"Stefan."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Ol9tUCiF
Elena tried to pull herself up but was too weak to do so.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsqPDr0mal
"I didn't feed."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA0sfURHJk
Stefan looked worried.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X51VCloDj
Elena began to get paler.
It was a dark night as Katherine, Damon, Caroline, Rebekah, Matt, Liz, and Meredith headed for the old ranch where the Pastor lived at.
720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUNFIPi8il
Back in the barn, things were turning to worst for Elena and Stefan felt helpless to help her at all this time.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw0C2YyqMW
"Elena? You still with me?" he called to her from where he sat against the wall that divided him from Elena.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdmvG5XFcj
Elena sat on the other side of the wall. She was even paler and was breathing heavily.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8BIRSSGWg
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm here. I'm okay."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZL3ShuT0J
"No, you're not. I can hear you breathing. Damon was right. You should have fed earlier. I'm so sorry."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQef1TCm3W
"Don't be. You had hope. That's all I ever wanted you to have and you had it."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1brua3wKlI
"I love you so much."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ckbPZsBW
Stefan started to cry silent tears.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqERn9cLn2
"I love you. No matter what happens, it's the best choice I ever made," Elena said.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUQxz055gr
She placed her hand against the wall dividing them.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQhlEDjsww
"God. It sucks that I can't see you right now."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV0B9BV91j
"I'm smiling."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv98amsN8P
"Me too."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhOe1371py
Elena took her hand from the wall and closed her eyes.
While the others did the distraction to lure some of them out of the house, Katherine went to the rescue, following their scent, which soon led her to the barn where all the vampires and Elena were being held.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UD3etUkqo
She walked in and scanned the place.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoRsWMsqAc
Normally, she would've gotten Stefan out first, but seeing Elena, she knew she was the worst off.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHDZq6M72H
She rushed over to her cage and immediately broke the lock and opened the door. Then she knelt by her.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Jqj87Nvm
"Elena?" she called softly.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr6Xrqgvn6
She didn't answer.
Kat gently picked her up in her arms. She knew she was still alive, but was running out of precious time.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFHAZkbMMR
She looked back at Stefan, once outside of Elena's cage.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFI0dnwvWk
"I'll be back for you."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmsFBCzIYr
Stefan watched, as Kat disappeared at vamp speed with Elena in her arms, so she could save Elena for once. At least, he hoped that's what she was going to do. He didn't want to lose Elena. He loved her too much.
Once outside in the front yard, she gently layed Elena down on the ground.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOsEqlBLTt
Kat looked up.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgTLZahA0e
"Matt!" she called to him.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoKbhOJ2AZ
He went over to them.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuoGvS1LPC
"You need to let her feed on you."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzaWX8B7h4
A few minutes later, Elena woke up as a vampire.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd9gQkhiiF
Kat helped her sit up.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX7hVFfW8c
"How do you feel?" she questioned her descendant, as everyone went over to them.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL2Uf5r0ss
"Better. Thanks," Elena said, even though she wasn't sure what she felt about being a vampire now.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjL8LNt3Qn
"Good. I'll be back."720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPkeTAzGPP
And with that, she vanished into the barn to go rescue Stefan and the other vampires that had been captured.
An hour later, the Pastor and the Council were in the Pastor's house. Pastor Young released the gas hose from the back of his stove.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcGysHR4lO
"Folks, by now, you know that the vampires have escaped. And it won't be long before they retaliate against us. But fear not. For I have been chosen to lead us in a movement," he told them, as he locked the door.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpeMdwgd8N
"What are you talking about?" one of the Council Members asked.
