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.
