It's a dark night, as I walk around what looks like Mystic Falls, but it has abandoned cars with broken and shattered windows in the streets. I didn't disintegrate, so I must be somewhere on the Other Side. There must be a place on the Other Side that hasn't disintegrated. After all, I'm dead. I died willingly to destroy the Travelers and tried to pass through Bonnie to be brought back to life like my friends, but someone stopped the spell before I could pass through. I know Bonnie died too, but I was put here before she died. Wherever the hell here is.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zvVVn19m8
I stop not far from an old abandoned car, seeing someone lying by it. I'd know her anywhere. She looks exactly like Elena, apart from her hair style and clothes. She's my sire, my ex-girlfriend, and a pain in the ass.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxCzOJr10D
At vamp speed, I'm instantly knelt at her side, looking down at her. She looks like crap. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that she was tortured and then left behind. By the smell, she's very much human. There's blood on either side of her head, her sides and leg are bleeding, and there are cuts and scrapes on her. She's pale and losing a lot of blood, too.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapPHLcjITV
"Katherine?" I call to her, hoping to wake her up.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJCGRPuVyH
I listen to her heart and breathing with super hearing, as I debate on what to do. I don't know if vampire blood will help her. When she was dying and human, her body had rejected vampire blood. I don't know if my blood will help, since I'm a vampire and she's not. It's worth a shot, though. Right?604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nrfg5wbXC
Finally, I make up my mind.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEQxsalrCa
I gently pull her into my arms and bite my wrist, putting it to her lips, making my blood go down her throat.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeZHM98k54
A few minutes later, I take it away and it instantly heals. I then watch her wounds heal.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl5PPejoem
I get to my feet with her in my arms, and head for the boarding house. After I broke my promise to protect her and tormented her on her deathbed, I owe her this much. Besides, she did cure me from a werewolf bite a few years ago. I just shrugged it off as a good deed, because I've hated her since the night she told me that she "never loved" me. "It was always Stefan."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQN8f9wJ0W

Once in my living room, I gently lay her down on the couch and sit by her on the couch.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMPgtci3ID

A few hours later, she comes to.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88yxGsKUm7
"How long have you been here?" she asks me.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp2uV6avbL
"Since a few hours ago. What the hell happened to you?"604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv1wKvHbHP
"Kai stole some of what little magic I had from when I body jumped. I have a little left, but Kai wants out of here and he can steal the rest with just a touch. His father put him here as punishment for killing all but one sibling. It's his prison, but since magic brought us here, magic can get us out of here. I need you to trust me if we do this, though. Do you trust me?" she replies.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4XdqdNHDT
"I'll try," I answer.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x9pXwFykS
"Good. We have to work together to get out of here before he finds a way out of here," she replies.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HzdJfSFmR
"How do we get out of here exactly?"604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ovmsg0qxF
"We put the ascendant together and find a cave, where the eclipse will shine the brightest. The ascendant will take us home."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFWsHgD51o
"How long have you been here?"604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98AzzqpugY
"Ever since you guys killed me, I guess. I can't tell time here. Everyday is the same date as the day before."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQCIb7hXXJ
"Let's get out of here then," I reply.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZSv6xWCew
"I need to get my strength back and tap into my Traveler lineage first. I'll have to practice on some candles. I have to be at full strength, or we can't go. It won't recognize my magic," she explains.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSMzrXmmLs
"Let's do it then," I reply, eager to go back home with or without Katherine.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U6txPoXp5

A few days later, we're in a cave, the eclipse at its full peak, me at her side, her holding the ascendant. She drips her blood and I drip my blood in the middle of it and it clicks together, now ready to take us home.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZHIpItmPX
Kai walks in with a crossbow and fires at us with an arrow.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf01J2eKxcg
A moment later, we disappear and find ourselves back home.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZfEoeM0vK
I pull the arrow out of my side and drop it.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsCQ6uOyYd
We look at each other after she lets the ascendant drop to the ground.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBB1m7vlHC
We smile.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQoQ2zzNUf
"We did it," she comments.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2nVEz2LEn
"Yes. We did," I agree.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L4GexoPNI
"I guess this is a goodbye," she replies. "We'll see each other again, but I'm leaving. I'm going to New Orleans to win Elijah back. I've always loved both of you, but Elijah has always been there for me. He never once tried to kill me or second guess my intentions."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfqgaInmp2
"Good luck," I reply.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbYmsMc7iZ
I watch as she walks away, knowing she's right. Besides, she deserves someone like Elijah. She doesn't deserve me. I've tried to kill her and even broke my promise. Elijah would never do either to her. They were met for each other, whether he takes her back or not.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIrg7mfy8b
I walk towards the Salvatore boarding house and inside, closing the door behind myself.
