It was a dark night, as Elena walked through the dark caves, looking for Silas' tomb.689Please respect copyright.PENANAjJhpGJfWp1
Suddenly, she saw someone. She blurred towards her to try and stop her, as she yelled, "No!" She got thrown against a cave wall, though. Then her mirror image was out of sight. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAIoXfocASFY
A moment later, Damon was in front of her. 689Please respect copyright.PENANALiQj3LYfAO
"Elena, are you okay? What happened?"689Please respect copyright.PENANAldkXNnhy62
"She's here," she informed him.689Please respect copyright.PENANAKXXFwgYONm
He didn't have to ask who. He knew who she meant. His former lover and Elena's bloodline, as well as his sire; Katherine. Why she would want the cure was beyond him, but he would rather deal with Katherine and get the cure than for someone else to do it. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAjP05O1QI5I
"Get everyone out of here and go with them. I'll deal with her and get the cure," he told his childe. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAOZV1tJvZbe
She did as she was told, trusting him. 689Please respect copyright.PENANACchnuuotqH
689Please respect copyright.PENANA17jaROmUPB
689Please respect copyright.PENANAHC8cSU3f68
By the time everyone was out of there, Katherine had grabbed the cure from Silas and had left Silas' tomb. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAVFyVMYV5vJ
When she was half way away from Silas' tomb a ways, large and small pieces of rock from the caves began falling. Then it was like an earthquake that would never stop. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5sfHGZzIp
A few minutes later, Damon found her. 689Please respect copyright.PENANA08YUfj4zqH
He began to walk towards her. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAcBJ51liKHa
"What the Hell are you doing here, Katherine?"689Please respect copyright.PENANA9Og7bqLQAI
"Isn't it obvious? I want the same thing you want."689Please respect copyright.PENANAqoNpUcWjRq
"You're 500 years old. What would you'd possibly want with the cure?"689Please respect copyright.PENANA3MP6suaidB
"Klaus wants it destroyed so it can't be used against him. I want my freedom."689Please respect copyright.PENANAq4cJ2e3sUR
"You're going to hand the cure over to Klaus in exchange for your freedom," he realized.689Please respect copyright.PENANAPhIIRriXd8
Even though he wanted it for Elena so she could be human again, he had to admit that that was a smart move on Katherine's behalf. He had always admired her for her intelligence. She was too smart for her own good, though. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAaTjmCva0FI
He was about to demand her to give him the darn cure, when he got hit with some large pieces of cave rocks. Then everything went black. 689Please respect copyright.PENANABzOdxo2rvR
She was about to go to her elder childe to help him, when she felt pain. Then everything went black. 689Please respect copyright.PENANABwhPsAlape

Once he had woken up, he unburied himself and then scanned for his sire.689Please respect copyright.PENANAtzSJmYSmHL
"Katherine," he said, seeing a hand between some rocks.689Please respect copyright.PENANASbwPaiasav
He blurred over and started taking rocks off the pile, being careful as to not make the boulder on top dig any further down. She was a vampire, but she could still get hurt or killed. And as he removed cave rocks and began working on the boulder, he used vamp hearing to listen for anything from his sire. Sure, he hated her, but there was still a part of him that was connected to her. He didn't want her to die. Besides, she wasn't exactly evil. Her life just made her what she was these days. What she did in the past and present, she did to survive. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAFdtlqjwXb4

689Please respect copyright.PENANAeI9LeRWkvi
When the pile had been removed from on top of her, he knelt beside her and looked down at her. There was a rebar protruding from the middle of her chest and blood on either side of her head. Her skin started to look cracked and pale.689Please respect copyright.PENANAdlo3rGYcww
He pulled the piece of wood out of her chest and gently sat her against him, her head up against his chest. He then bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.689Please respect copyright.PENANAGtNc3phl0L
"Stay with me, Katherine. You're not dying tonight," he pleaded, but didn't know if she could hear him or not. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAfTp1nH3xpW
He couldn't believe that he was saving his sire's life after everything.689Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7wXGpSMIY
As his blood went down her throat, her chest and side wound disappeared and her skin color returned to normal. 689Please respect copyright.PENANAH1H4Q3HBz7
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away, which instantly healed. 689Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZrizEAK5D
He gently layed her back down on her back. He then put the cure in his jacket, before pulling her into hsi arms and walking away with her in his arms. She'd be okay now, but he had to get himself and her out of the caves.689Please respect copyright.PENANAwVMenMEa5q
