Summary: Set in S4 "American Gothic." What if Damon in danger caused Elena to turn her humanity back on? What if Rebekah hadn't tagged along? What if Elena took the cure? What will happen?688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZe80ToMM4
A/N: For those of you that haven't read the Stefan Diaries of the book series, Jack is an enemy and he called himself Jack the Ripper back in the day.
It was a dark night as Elena fed from a girl and, unbeknownst to her, Damon had disappeared out of the club.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQwjhhu8r6
As he walked down the sidewalk four blocks away from the club, he glanced at the paper in his hand that had Will's address on it.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTYCynmqLP
Seven blocks away from the club, he was grabbed and he dropped the paper. His attacker pulled him into a dark alley and pinned him against a wall with a hand tightly around his throat.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8VwsglMU9
"Jack," he said, recognizing the vampire.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg3QyoiE1l
"Damon," he greeted and then added, "It's time. Any last words?"688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexr5D8L341
"Go to hell," Damon answered.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLUJpEdtF9
Jack smiled wickedly.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCt9foCLFS
The Salvatore brother knew what was coming. He would die tonight. Jack had told him a long time ago that the next time he saw him, he would kill him. It was ironic to him that they had faced off in New York and now they were both in New York again.
Elena exited the club in search of Damon and felt pain in her chest, but didn't understand why. She wasn't hurt and her Sire bond with Damon wasn't in effect with her humanity turned off. At least, she didn't think so. Now she was getting feelings, though. She felt now that she had to save him; even if he was an ass at times.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmwLhiEPHn
When she saw the piece of paper, she picked it up and put it in her pocket. Then she smelled Damon's scent from an alley. She turned to face the alley and walked into it. That's when she saw a vampire standing over someone. Damon Salvatore. She thought she didn't have feelings for anyone, but she apparently did.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZmiGLW4H4
At vamp speed, she grabbed and pinned the vampire against a wall with anger and growled at him. Knowing Damon needed help and she couldn't waste time questioning the vampire though, she snapped his neck and was instantly at Damon's side on her knees.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyMPRH0Uh9
She pulled the stake out of his chest, which had missed his heart. She then set it on the ground and bit her wrist. She put it to his lips, making her blood go down his throat. As she heard the vampire wake up, she smelled another scent too.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb4ElAjG50
Once Jack was on his feet and saw the girl, he realized they were either friends or together. Then, before he could go anywhere, the girl's identical twin pinned him against the wall with a hand around his throat. She was clearly angry.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXjYPrIIJr
"Who the hell are you and what do you think gives you the right to try and kill Damon!?" she growled.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3zuKLiJxT
"Jack. We have history. I vowed to kill him a couple centuries ago," he answered her calmly.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOGhYNp4jC
She broke his right arm with her free hand and he cried out in agony.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI44xa4uij
"I'm Katherine, Jack. You are Jack the Ripper from the 1950's. Good-bye, Jack," she replied, before she staked him, which killed him.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwwb98kqcB
Katherine Pierce walked towards them, as Damon came to and Elena took her wrist away.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySn5A1SUiJ
Damon started to his feet and Elena helped him.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0LKXFobDr
"Thanks," he said. "You saved my life."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29YdxxKrCG
"You're welcome."
They turned around to see Katherine.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAWPqpCa8R
"I killed Jack. He won't be killing, or trying to kill you anymore."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg92oHmNXD
"We've been looking for you," Damon replied.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJniVjYY8e
"I know. You want the cure. I don't blame you guys. Elena never should have been a vampire. She needs to be human."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOrPg3j92c
She stood in front of them.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalzJSdEnqk
"Since when do you care about Elena?" he questioned.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu5s1xYnl9
"She is my family as much as you two are."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nXUdS6848
She took out the box with the cure in it.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31DieJ5FVG
"Take it," she said, and then handed it to Damon whom gladly took it. Then she left the alley.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5rE5ysxFD
He looked at Elena.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptNfpnxiST
"I know you say you don't want the cure, but that's not really you saying it. Deep down, you want it. You really do."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYprFe49JHx
"I know. Give it to me. I'll take it."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdRHBOVus2
He gave it to her and she took it, which transformed her to being human again. Then they left the alley and went to his car to go back home to Mystic Falls.
As he drove, she looked silently out the window. He glanced at her as he drove.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuZaUpCdIv
"Are you going to be okay?" he asked her.688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1ageyl9xo
"I lost my brother. What do you think, Damon?" she said softly, as she tried not to break down. "And not to mention, I burned down my family home and killed people and almost killed Caroline."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLj5W0JAsz
"I can help you, Elena. Let me."688Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ521YeOlRqj
"Then help me," she replied.
