        As I lay on the hard ground, I hear Klaus' footsteps, as he walks away. Then he's gone. But the next thing I know, I hear someone racing towards me and I smell Alaric's scent.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdxjazS6Hv
        A few minutes later, as my vision blurs, I vaguely hear Alaric after I feel the dagger come out.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2FWQGpBiu
        "Katherine, hang in there. You're going to be okay."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXCYJ5F10F
        I feel the stake come out, as I weaken.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrgAhQ6R1A
        "You'll live," he assures me.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWVjGRNolW
        He gently sits me up.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcVWRYUA6a
        "Alaric," I greet.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp4QVBAXGi
        I feel my wounds close up, but I'm still weak.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmGZJSaGjj
        He helps me to my feet and I put a hand on his shoulder to keep from falling. I feel weak and light headed.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89UAkewLUC
        "Katherine, look at me," he says gently.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidHJNvp3oH
        I do.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUpuCujmOW
        He gently puts hands on either side of my head. He then looks back at me.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA7IOWRIl7
        "Focus, Katherine. Focus. Stay with me."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDuow5THVS
        I can barely stand, as he tries to keep me awake. It's hard on my part. I'm starting to lose my senses. Usually, vervain doesn't make me feel this way. But I haven't had any for a month. My body isn't used to it anymore. I feel dizzy, unsteady, drained, and unfocused. All I want to do is close my eyes. I've been fighting one thing or another for 500 years. I'm tired of fighting.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEfxhZuUXT
        "Alaric, I-" I start.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKlQML3O6r
        "Whatever you want to tell me, can probably wait until you're feeling better," he interrupts.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C5UVQCXqd
        "No. Alaric, I can't. I feel…" I try.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98NwqMwDA9
        I feel like I should tell him how I'm feeling.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG8CrKsM5H
        "I don't feel well," I finally get out.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVjjCB2dpv
        He lets go of me.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXguSCrl2I
        "I know. And I'm going to help you."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJjLcvMy7t
        A moment later, I collapse to the ground, but he catches me with a hand between my shoulderblades, another hand behind my head, holding me up, as I start to lose it. And then he gently picks me up in his arms. I wrap my arms gently around his neck, as he starts walking, resting my head on his shoulder.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxXn7k60HK
        "Try to stay awake," he encourages me, as I try to fight, but I know I'm losing the fight.8964 copyright protection520ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM1mv6Exq5 維尼
