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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWEwarVJSH
She sat up.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKhKjLOnuf
"You've been in and out for hours," Stefan said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenwYn3jB6X
"What happened? How did you save me?" she asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoeW3zYFxB
"He didn't," Damon told her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNzkHLNHPF
"Wait. What?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYfxXgkAWj
Stefan explained to her what Meredith had done.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkhqj9TYHd
"So what? Am I dead?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZcTZBOtH2
"You're in transition. You're not fully alive and you're not fully dead."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5FADsvQSk
"No. I can't be."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5LUwZ6UrP
"I have Bonnie looking into it. She might be able to reverse it."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d1KoAzLnv
"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHHaid95Pm
Stefan came down the stairs just then and into the kitchen.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgMWoNzTyL
He watched his elder brother.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs1T3FSSFf
"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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwgAFRJC4M
"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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRVUHJ0Hhp
"Whatever. Always the hero," Damon commented, grabbing his glass from the counter and slowly sipping it.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeBVvU2Ya6
Stefan left the room, as Damon finished his drink.
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CC3zzmoMS
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4XTvpCG0B
Her younger brother, Jeremy, walked over to her from down the other end of the hallway.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0TEphDJf7
"Jer," she greeted.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJtLGIdvmN
They hugged.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqoU2lZ4Xa
"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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVv84q4kR6
Elena glanced over at the light bulb again, but turned back to face Jeremy again.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbtt9adP1H
"I'm fine. I'm not Vicki."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL4Qgp1IWa
"No, you're not. You're act like everything's okay so no one worries about you but you need help."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo60192HGqj
Elena kept glancing at the light bulb.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf7y6rC6ze
"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74qijELTFv
"Yeah, she said when I was shot, she made some plea to the witch spirit to bring me back and they listened.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntKv6qLDDL
"Yeah, but the consequences were horrible."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoM00GrqML
"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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog7AA4ADep
"I hope so."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOrzFugJCK
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwBLAiCyPX
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Klaus said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFQteWetCA
Bonnie turned around and saw Klaus in Tyler's body entering the cellar.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNn0r8PNNN
"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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2F6TiPCAt
"Yes, when I assumed I'd be a pile of ash. But apparently, fate and oxygen intervened and there I am."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC2qeltBg3
Klaus walked towards the coffin.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmV7TLTwvx
"Put me back."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Oiof74m1X
"I can't right now."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoOygzkRu0
"Your history teacher outed Tyler and Caroline to the Council. They're on a war path and this body's vulnerable."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e6TdteajS
"I have to help Elena before she has to feed."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDBd0WNAYk
"Elena's dead and no longer my concern."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oPTQefraF
"You're forgetting who just saved your life."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC3dDji2KJ
Klaus grabbed Bonnie by the throat.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bRbHoJGFf
"And you're forgetting that I could rip your tongue out. Now put me back."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo8810PFj4
"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?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsmIqwo3aW
Klaus released Bonnie.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0cC6TP4xE
Bonnie started to leave, but Klaus was instantly in front of her and blocked her way out.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz4jKwuHTY
"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvt1DhyLKu
She stopped.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfAAEO5wpe
"Pastor Young. To what do we owe the honor? And don't tell me it's your blood pressure again."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQUZvYD78C
"Honestly, I wish it were."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvIEwyuY25
He turned to the deputies behind them.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9i8wUUz4k
"Blood bank's in the basement. One of you sweep the rooms."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW9yH6Vw2f
"Who gave you that authority?" Meredith questioned.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtJF3c9j2G
"The Council. They're entrusted me to secure the town and unlike some of our Founding Families, I don't have conflicting interests."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai2oDd3YOW
"What is that supposed to mean?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwTtk3gDu0
"Alaric Saltzman told us everything, Meredith. Probably time to start looking for a new job."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspqjcvQdCd
Pastor Young left Meredith there.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g1LsNY4iq
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcNzFv4ScN
"Can I help you?" Matt asked the officer.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3l7zQb5Hg
"Sorry."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaYwcL0ptm
He got on his dispatch and said, "All good here."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ZNQ12hH9
He exited the room and closed the door.
An officer handcuffed Carol Lockwood at the Lockwood Mansion. Pastor Young stood nearby.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n3WrINBMK
"What's going on?" she asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMePaR7qOP
The officer started to lead Carol out of her house.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGnSIsIVic
"We just need to ask you a few questions about your son."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FEgLrgTzh
"You can't arrest me! I'm the Mayor of this town!"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1qsqb2ujM
"Not anymore you're not."
Sheriff Forbes was walking to the police department when Pastor Young stopped her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7lW02MK55
"Sorry, Liz. You're not going to work today."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DQQv7ShwC
"What are you talking about?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p7G7KxgYg
The deputies surrounded the two of them.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej7QbeGyGY
"They're taking your badge. You're not fit to protect us anymore."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLGfsIYMQh
"You have no idea what you're up against."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjQjWqlYEy
"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRL4Y1PuLD
"Where are you? And please tell me it's somewhere faraway," Liz told her daughter.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdHozA4KeN
"Where am I? Uh…good question. Uh…there's just a whole lot of boring highways. Why, is everything okay?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpy7mHnrMR
Suddenly, an officer snuck up behind her and stabbed her in the side of her neck with a syringe.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ua1uib8RK
"Caroline, what's going on?" Liz asked.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj3bzmMSgh
The phone hit the porch.
Elena and Stefan were in the kitchen.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDlGkLCfa2
Elena took a bite of a sandwich.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq3Qn0q7Eo
"It's disgusting," Stefan commented, watching her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFqvXPBB3K
"No it's, um…"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoNI9Oj7Z9
"It's disgusting," he repeated.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B5Z7UtoZ2
She spit it out onto a napkin.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeGbyQT4py
"I never thought I would say this, but I can't stop thinking about blood."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo4pdLDxa6
"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?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtep5DdDiyn
Stefan poured himself a drink and took a sip.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlG6JDZ0Z6
Elena got up and walked over to him.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzPQruDrXg
"Stefan, listen to me. You did the right thing. You did what you always do. You respected my choice."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6njCI35Qxd
"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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZIJi6BOxt
"Well, then we'll cross that bridge when we get there."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwREDbFYdF9
Suddenly, Elena started laughing.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHSzdlKoZH
"Oh my God, did-did I just say "cross that bridge"?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1U4ZUOU4g
Elena started laughing maniacally.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJez6EzIxt
"You're laughing. I'm pretty sure you don't actually think that's funny."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqRy1z23vD
"I can't stop though," she said, continuing to laugh.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iG4YT1MLG
"Your emotions are a bit heightened today. A lot heightened."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdrbtdt5lN
She continued laughing but then started to cry.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODvTxj4J2F
He hugged her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtdcVSN8Op
"Hey, shh, shh. It's okay. It's okay."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIhdNATPlV
"I'm sorry. I…"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tLQ0cNobs
He pulled away and caressed her face.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrAm8pI8bJ
"Listen to me. No matter what happens, I'm here for you. I can help you."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PhR1xjBvi
Elena looked out the window and squinted her eyes due to the brightness of the sunlight.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSOR6Gv7eL
"Why don't you go back upstairs where it's dark? I'll clean up."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDohPiiqwtD
Elena started to walk away and shielded her eyes from the sun.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSolphiY2et
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlR6uv7S5g
"I'm tired, Damon."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDoQgpH92p
Damon got up and walked over to Elena, holding up her vervain necklace.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pResNJ67r
"I brought you this."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6bcMDmCnC
"I thought it was gone. Thank you."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeg1Fni9wK
Elena tried to take it from Damon, but he pulled it back.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulGO2rkGYm
"Please give it back."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipEb8WJNxD
"I just have to say something."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjsbGpunwC
"Why do you have to say it with my necklace?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LtFPIrVvI
"Because what I'm about to say is probably the most selfish thing I've ever said in my life."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxR5pWwNEx
"Damon, don't go there."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoN7D6DBId
"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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4f8xnbWfr
Damon kissed Elena on the forehead.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzshjSFjyJ
"God, I wish you didn't have to forget this. But you do."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxuzX7R7Io
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSVWBkeuLE
Damon entered the room behind her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciesaAqqyS
"You should know better than to sneak up on a lady."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PnZEyLuRk
"Good advice. Have you seen one?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM1O2zbQvB
Rebekah turned around to face him.
"Tragic about Elena. Not to make a grey cloud grayer, but does Matt even have automobile insurance?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpvSR7LuTv
Rebekah turned back around.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV0JbqDQNa
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni4rh6qXXQ
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmpbzgDMKW
Suddenly, she heard a commotion downstairs and walked down the stairs.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLMbWz18Y3
"Stefan?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z23GyGth6
"Elena, don't move."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEETArgwBI4
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeEjIED18X
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6yrxlBaxI
"Vervain ropes. Looks like Alaric outed us all to the Council," she told the Original sister.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf3dBjjpiG
"The Council? What exactly do they think they can do to me?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOrCHAHucT
Suddenly, the wheels of the van started to screech. The van flipped over. Caroline and Rebekah went flying. The van landed on its side.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iJm4VJFEX
"What the hell happened?" Rebekah questioned.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZadiWeQp1
Just then, someone opened the door. Someone unexpected.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ255cIc9daO
"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LGvXPvkg6
"No time. Come on. Let's go," Katherine said, helping them both to their feet one by one.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7wxjtK3Jv
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQTZriA2Sy
"They're gone. Whoever nailed Rebekah, took them too. Please tell me you have something. Anything," Damon said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uZnEblkGt
"I can't. The Council locked Carol and me out of our offices. Files, computers, everything," Liz answered him.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUycAIDeTLC
"So, the Mayor and the Sheriff never contemplated a backup plan, Liz?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZx8gfasLl
"Damon, relax. When Caroline called to say she got away; did they know where they were planning to take her?" Meredith said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bql3XN5Ut
"No. Just that she was in some van in the middle of nowhere and she managed to escape," Liz answered her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsXWYikLRG
"Perfect. We've narrowed it down to nowhere," Damon implied.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPTxst4TiN
Someone knocked on the front door and then Matt entered the house.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD2JBmPRpU
"Hey, is Elena here?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x9IRspuLP
Damon turned around and rushed towards Matt. He grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the wall, choking him.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLmqj99xc9
"In what world are you the one that gets to live?!"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxgiWj7TS5
Meredith tried to pull Damon off of him.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xe9RndkAd
"Damon, stop! It wasn't his fault!" Meredith said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLij07o42r
"Let him go, Damon! Now!" Liz said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnoorKKub5
Matt tried to pry Damon's arm off his throat.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqa8zDgl5N
Damon finally released him.
Just then, someone unexpected arrived along with Rebekah and Caroline.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLihQVFZ1tE
"Katherine," Damon said, looking at her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrSVSGEZBG
"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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAloarFgR3B
Liz and Caroline hugged.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZoQiSqkDi
Rebekah stood against a faraway wall.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ7flW049V
"Why would you go to such a length to help?" Damon inquired of his sire.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDwovRJyYG
"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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkVU5UOV7A
"Yes. And how are do you suppose we do that? We don't know where the hell to look."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv3wK3Ij2K
"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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cc2X9cufh
She gave him a smile.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HuYTeeZa0
"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92xU2hpF94
"Where am I?" she questioned.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEVMsFAYOV
"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o7vR5GycU
"Stefan."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C3waXHpzL
Elena tried to pull herself up but was too weak to do so.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9cMXMfdUH
"I didn't feed."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25MN8aD7rW
Stefan looked worried.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqudVOkAEr6
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.
744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmZoW5TDM1
Back in the barn, things were turning to worst for Elena and Stefan felt helpless to help her at all this time.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11aBWjNZrC
"Elena? You still with me?" he called to her from where he sat against the wall that divided him from Elena.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXxqfRWrFm
Elena sat on the other side of the wall. She was even paler and was breathing heavily.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i9aAjDKca
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm here. I'm okay."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKzywwIf1X
"No, you're not. I can hear you breathing. Damon was right. You should have fed earlier. I'm so sorry."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZop0n3NUR
"Don't be. You had hope. That's all I ever wanted you to have and you had it."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rzve1tFpY
"I love you so much."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzel7emJ6Gp
Stefan started to cry silent tears.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KVJ4W4BTA
"I love you. No matter what happens, it's the best choice I ever made," Elena said.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiIVII93QF
She placed her hand against the wall dividing them.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAoBm0nUm7
"God. It sucks that I can't see you right now."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHW6eizgeO
"I'm smiling."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Gx3sxLMT
"Me too."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRGksWw18U
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFi438NQEF
She walked in and scanned the place.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjJc1NFcPr
Normally, she would've gotten Stefan out first, but seeing Elena, she knew she was the worst off.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3fLXY2flS
She rushed over to her cage and immediately broke the lock and opened the door. Then she knelt by her.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5kQ1z8oqz
"Elena?" she called softly.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCxChjdYIz
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5OVmaBa3d
She looked back at Stefan, once outside of Elena's cage.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOG0jMaaeP
"I'll be back for you."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNGgqnKu7I
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgxWNRbfS4
Kat looked up.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHi3q6DPRF
"Matt!" she called to him.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgktsYk7wSE
He went over to them.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTtlbnBgs3
"You need to let her feed on you."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw9YQyh67M
A few minutes later, Elena woke up as a vampire.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuGDs9cAza
Kat helped her sit up.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0hMHaj1P5
"How do you feel?" she questioned her descendant, as everyone went over to them.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv1ZyWsX0Z
"Better. Thanks," Elena said, even though she wasn't sure what she felt about being a vampire now.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXiKFXazXK
"Good. I'll be back."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqG0trkub3
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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDAUPlxIJU
"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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh49135j9P
"What are you talking about?" one of the Council Members asked.
"Hear me, loved ones. Soon you'll be free to pass through the gates."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocU7K31qBv
He pulled a lighter out of his pocket.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsEHSxM6m8
"And we'll all reunite in eternity."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoZHfV3iHF
"Seriously, Pastor, what's going on here?" the council member tried again.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL6e91iP9Y
"Friends. We are the beginning," Pastor Young finished.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vHsxhBW3g
The Pastor lit the light and the Council members screamed with fear as the kitchen was set ablaze.
Damon and Elena sat on the porch at the Salvatore boarding house.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCDpuHNrso
They were silent, as they looked out into the darkness.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsphReFDeKN
Finally, Elena spoke.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd1YOQmxaa
"Damon."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdZ6kwugmG
She looked at him.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyRPZjxoUz
He looked at her as he said, "Yeah?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe68NV3UJCT
"I remember. Everything. Why didn't you tell me that it was you I meant first?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4QQHSusZl
"Well, it wouldn't had mattered anyway."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly5So4BLSW
"It would've been nice to know, though."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDHjm9LZ4L
"I guess you remember that I love you then, huh?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FlMMp01lA
"Yes."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw62vt6eebJ
"Now that you remember everything, do you finally know what you feel for me?"744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg1wVlpn1j
He wished she would say that she loved him.
"I care about you, Damon. That's all I feel."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0XbWHWV6j
"Then you're lying to yourself and to everybody else. You can't see it yet, but I know you love me, too."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA71qyrcvK
He got up and headed inside.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYXC3tSKjS
Stefan and Kat watched them from one of the windows in one of the upstairs rooms.
