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?668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIexaMyWq6
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPdASuCEM8
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAPLLHxWoO
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUmeBo0MYM
"Jack," he said, recognizing the vampire.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERTQEhXfeT
"Damon," he greeted and then added, "It's time. Any last words?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM3XmPgvNH
"Go to hell," Damon answered.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU8lrHN9sh
Jack smiled wickedly.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4yasRgAtB
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7ApJb0od6
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZknxFimFz3
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvizzxl3yED
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oSUCZjlZz
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzrQrFF3V1
"Who the hell are you and what do you think gives you the right to try and kill Damon!?" she growled.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JLS9hkZWy
"Jack. We have history. I vowed to kill him a couple centuries ago," he answered her calmly.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHRYTaievK
She broke his right arm with her free hand and he cried out in agony.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlbkaP42Lu
"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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxGCaM8BEq
Katherine Pierce walked towards them, as Damon came to and Elena took her wrist away.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaWNGZmgrM
Damon started to his feet and Elena helped him.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06YZRtqbvv
"Thanks," he said. "You saved my life."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Mr8aFUzg
"You're welcome."
They turned around to see Katherine.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsrXERbbtK
"I killed Jack. He won't be killing, or trying to kill you anymore."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH4xD3ynkm
"We've been looking for you," Damon replied.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw82UIvnSIX
"I know. You want the cure. I don't blame you guys. Elena never should have been a vampire. She needs to be human."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5XQDe5KVq
She stood in front of them.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngNTcmITSI
"Since when do you care about Elena?" he questioned.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPFiIFXIXK
"She is my family as much as you two are."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr3ocIzIJm
She took out the box with the cure in it.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PKwvHcgaV
"Take it," she said, and then handed it to Damon whom gladly took it. Then she left the alley.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs4aIfSYTY
He looked at Elena.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFSI2oKL8b
"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."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kx7piP1e8
"I know. Give it to me. I'll take it."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z0u1D7LZt
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb5Qv9eD1f
"Are you going to be okay?" he asked her.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu20v8wW8pA
"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."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tD0L219Xt
"I can help you, Elena. Let me."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j3RFegWUU
"Then help me," she replied.
