I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKaOnU7MUV
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCuwA4EtCE
I toss the empty blood bag onto the floor and look him over, remembering Klaus saying he's unclean. And that's when I see it. The werewolf bite.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvVhvNv6HB
"No," I say. "No. Damon."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNBk7UBw2M
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVaHnAr6gV
"Elena, it's me. We have a problem. Did Damon tell you if he was bitten by a werewolf or not? He has a werewolf bite on his arm. And I can't get him up. Can you come over?" I say, before she can say anything.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSErcVbawMj
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFzzIl90ig
She hangs up and I put his phone back.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fsk062ti4
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZXCzlDQjA
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHtoI5UvKv
I wait.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8UZ0dkVZg
Nothing.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoP27pQzxj
I take his hand in mine.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS0MLiXTqQ
I can't lose you, Damon. Please wake up, I think to him.
Elena soon arrives and kneels down on the left side of him. The opposite side I'm on.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpo9mXBUT5
"We need to get him home," I inform her.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf3xunMk9Q
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB58C5WY63
"I don't know. Klaus must've taken it. And we don't have time to waste. We'll have to manage. Even if I burn alive helping him. It's worth it. I owe him one and he's my family. Family is everything to me."
By the time we get him in bed, I'm burnt terribly. I lean against the wall by his bedroom door, back against the wall, my vision blurry, my focus going in and out, as I watch Elena standing at his bedside with a wet wash cloth.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW29iREmkN6
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpzXCBsW2y
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnbNYQ8rDV
"Katherine," she says.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37bMhlJhzX
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT8m8G9LUx
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkZ6tl2MeQ
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk8wp6UsJ5
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpIbJwb6YC
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjtJwIEy3g
"I don't know."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKng2A5Kmum
Alaric Saltzman walks in.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuFtxPoHL7
"How's Damon doing?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGzAuSlmjW
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24yXgqX80I
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS7K1EC6VR
I feel myself slide down the wall, as weakness starts to come.

I go to Katherine Pierce and catch her, as she starts to slide down the wall. I see she's weak, burnt badly, and fighting to stay awake. But how much longer can she fight? Even a vampire has to give up someday. And Katherine's been fighting constantly for 500 years. I have to try and help her, though. For Elena's sake.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKS5zLS57B
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dYHY9XTSk
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBZ2dyFkDk
"I'm going home," I tell Elena, before leaving with Katherine.
Not long afterward, I enter my apartment, closing the door behind myself. I then set her on her feet. I came here so Elena wouldn't know what's going to happen. I should probably kill Katherine now. Put her out of her misery with a stake through her heart. But for some reason, I can't find the will to do that to her.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qR46yMTAi
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR2b0bbAjZ
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3KvbPYsKG
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXwOKCOAgq
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgqZjvwIbs
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalQYLt86iA
I gently lay her down on the floor and take my jacket off. I use my jacket to put under her head and see her skin start turning purple.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKo1CuD8wF
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiVNl88vBu
I check to see if she's breathing. Obviously, she's not. So, even though she's a vampire, I give her some breath before pulling her into my arms gently. She's breathing again, which is a good sign. I use a knife to cut my wrist, and I gently position her head back, putting my wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to I'm feeling better. I look down at my arm and my bite mark is gone. That means I've been cured.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL50jRFHPY0
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUccB8onx6Y
"Thanks," I say.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS5MlfZlwQ
"You should think, Katherine too. She was nearly burnt alive getting you here. Ric's at home helping her. She told me the cure before she nearly blacked out on us," she explains.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFieW1xlRZi
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7CDnQ0Oc5
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQTdzE41UO
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4lB18GUS0
I stand by my drinking table and pour myself a shot glass of liquor, slowly sipping it.

I feel the familiar liquid once I awaken, and start drinking. But once I have my strength back, my senses come alert. I can hear someone's heart beating and hear breathing. And the blood is warm…so warm and fresh. And then I smell Alaric's scent. Everything comes flooding back and I realize I'm drinking from Alaric. He gave me his blood to save my life. He probably did it for Elena.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2k2f8nYMK
I stop drinking and open my eyes.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYXmhm1xY5
I look up at him and know I nearly died. And that means I took a lot. He's very pale. I nearly killed Elena's guardian.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr5KXQrXIj
I get to my feet, as does he.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ6c3L5cwY
"Thanks," I say.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYOak0k7GV
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknD6MhVC4U
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Q6f6bYs3
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPs78QbeaN
"You need blood, Alaric."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTJfdMd6eM
"No," he argues.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4mkyIM0UY
"Alaric, you're going to die."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXoiVUx63g
"Then I'll die."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I1OIKzKKm
I hear his heart and breathing slow.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiQmN3DX8r
"I don't want you to."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjawgdt4IF
I look at his hand and his ring is off.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16f9qFTJpz
No, I think to myself.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95WtRysn1O
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasCRDuCOnn
At vamp speed, I'm instantly kneeling at his side. He's still breathing. Barely. This is all my fault. I've been so stupid today.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYxM41Ga5D
I bite my wrist and put it to his lips, making my blood go down his throat to heal him. I listen, as it helps him get stronger, and watch as his color comes back to his skin. I know he didn't want this, but I'd rather him be angry at me, than for him to die.

I come to to see myself on myself on my back on my floor. Katherine is knelt at my side.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvIIhw9zMk
I sit up.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxVQwTqOzg
"Thank you."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmsBZeJ664
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDW4d3ZMwZ
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq4GPGhfjV
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa94m9RMP2
She helps me to my feet.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ebPez1lc
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
