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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNBB64cRN3
I roll up my right sleeve and bite my wrist, as he starts to lose consciousness. I then put it to his lips.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0cuNhM1LZ
"Drink, Alaric," I instruct.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ588Pm4tXt2
I'm very relieved when he does.
Ten minutes later, I pull my wrist away and it heals, as does his wounds.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDnQcBBrR5
He looks at me.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsfAIhQd8U
"Thank you."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P9acCCpHS
"You're welcome."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2oInAI5tD
I help him to his feet.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTOKJJR1MF
"Let's find your ring, Alaric."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHUbYGq8lC
"Well said. And clean this mess up before Elena and Jeremy get home," he adds.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YQyMlLABc
It isn't long before I find his ring, it's on his finger, and the kitchen is cleaned up.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnABlYnYcO
I look at him.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Dg0022jX
"So, what happened?"511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Ywf4HnWg
"A vampire attack."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAgiqHJINX
"Who was it?"511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ETJ5zjnyc
"I don't know. It depends if you know anyone by the name of Logan."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XHIRwkkuK
I tense.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MpNxn6bIM
"Katherine?"511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSTKDWKDVL
"Alaric, where's Elena? She could be in danger."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUJGBoqQp3
"What do you mean? Slow down and explain, Katherine."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZWdsJTg1q
"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."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0xSoKZbrh
"So you think he would go after Elena?"
"Yeah; she was Elena's aunt, after all."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdqZGrhQ53
"Then let's go."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaGsQ0zXgm
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.
