He doesn't answer me, when I tell him what he needs. And I can hear his ragged breathing and slowing heart. He can barely breathe and I know this.510Please respect copyright.PENANAAaVaNpJfVI
I roll up my right sleeve and bite my wrist, as he starts to lose consciousness. I then put it to his lips.510Please respect copyright.PENANAFOoVWYQaRO
"Drink, Alaric," I instruct.510Please respect copyright.PENANA3W2tYhbx0Y
I'm very relieved when he does.
Ten minutes later, I pull my wrist away and it heals, as does his wounds.510Please respect copyright.PENANAWKXuGiwth1
He looks at me.510Please respect copyright.PENANA30g8a9Lrwz
"Thank you."510Please respect copyright.PENANAp75PX6JtWR
"You're welcome."510Please respect copyright.PENANAZT0dxK01Q9
I help him to his feet.510Please respect copyright.PENANApCiGlmEu9n
"Let's find your ring, Alaric."510Please respect copyright.PENANAu1WhjOZhFP
"Well said. And clean this mess up before Elena and Jeremy get home," he adds.510Please respect copyright.PENANAauDxkRUtw6
It isn't long before I find his ring, it's on his finger, and the kitchen is cleaned up.510Please respect copyright.PENANAxObHQ4PGef
I look at him.510Please respect copyright.PENANAgzoBGFztOr
"So, what happened?"510Please respect copyright.PENANARSN2B8ZwWD
"A vampire attack."510Please respect copyright.PENANA6yliaK4YxI
"Who was it?"510Please respect copyright.PENANApIQaH9uRCC
"I don't know. It depends if you know anyone by the name of Logan."510Please respect copyright.PENANAgDfmhWovN1
I tense.510Please respect copyright.PENANAB2bORf6Du2
"Katherine?"510Please respect copyright.PENANARvYPl2FLFi
"Alaric, where's Elena? She could be in danger."510Please respect copyright.PENANAjBRjON8lNn
"What do you mean? Slow down and explain, Katherine."510Please respect copyright.PENANAXV34Wl0ZWJ
"Logan was Elena's Aunt Jenna's old boyfriend. Someone, I don't know who, must've turned him. He might be looking for Jenna. He might not know that she's dead."510Please respect copyright.PENANALqZxNaCfbr
"So you think he would go after Elena?"
"Yeah; she was Elena's aunt, after all."510Please respect copyright.PENANANyyG72v0KQ
"Then let's go."510Please respect copyright.PENANANIoGQMGAUF
We head out the back, closing the door behind us, walking side by side. And as we walk, I use my senses to guide me, searching for his scent and Elena's.
