It was a dark night as John Gilbert, Elena's uncle, stood over Anna whom had awoken. The basement was on fire and wood started falling.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgSQYZz5Yv
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aEkjzk7Ky
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxRNVKyfW2
John raised the stake.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb7aVpWrlK
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vs0tpa12h
He stopped when he saw Elena.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbkE7XokVi
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMNJYHtuzQ
"Elena, I have to."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaCnMbT8te
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7zrfQApCw
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWDJlHFQn1
"No," Elena said firmly.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQLfYRHjSB
He put the stake away.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOoqTDZEle
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dxJojLTBi
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlRVf9ksu8
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pbjKPGbJT
Elena looked at her uncle.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dYdQkOjFi
"We're the good guys. We don't kill good people. Anna, Pearl, Damon, and the others have done nothing wrong. You should just go home."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fAJKClYrI
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfe83FkjjX
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57sE7yRXyt
John left the building.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oDJqYoTEb
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3ZZo82Vb9
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbRzd0s3gt
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZS5bZJPot
As Caroline headed in, she knew whom John had meant. Elena. Elena was in there. And as she headed down the stairs, she saw Elena at Damon's side.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvKc6Wtyuc
Caroline Forbes came over.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj0idPIZJZ
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4mIs4tqX2
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXt6Lt2Snh
As Elena knelt at her side, Caroline did as she was told. She knew better than to argue with Elena. After all, Elena could be stubborn at times; more so than herself.
"Katherine, can you hear me?" Elena called.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2nbJfZBFD
Nothing.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpwydSPIhu
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1rkChPXM7
With that, the human look-alike put an arm around her, put Katherine's arm around her shoulders, and got to her feet, using her own body weight to hold her up. Then she headed towards the stairs as another pillar that held up the ceiling, fell and the fire got even worst. As it did, she started to cough.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdlxIWgNS9
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkt7beJCrc
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdJlpCKr7k
She obeyed.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGH64VISZF
He walked into the flaming building to help Elena out, when he saw her with Katherine. He gently carried the vampiress when he saw them, Elena at his side.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNY7hrJ8Bv
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SapXsv6tp
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6xgWTI6ri
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xVLO0Bze9
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaj6O94Gwk
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn5m2CKPA6
Elena cut her wrist, pulled Katherine gently into her arms, and put her wrist to the vampiress' lips, making the blood go down her throat.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rDxK28WA5
Alaric didn't know what to do for Damon, so he just looked down at his friend. He'd give him his blood, but the Vampire Hunter had issues with giving vampires his blood.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz0tBmuhmH
A few minutes later, Katherine started to drink. But a few moments later, she stopped and looked up at Elena. She then sat up and held out her wrist after biting it.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Faf3uSkz
"You need to heal."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsI2lfSXMH
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyVpYnoKDk
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONpCoBG3NX
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkInViYgKjq
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jSANHEsjR
Ric got to his feet.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9u3M2aGtN
"I'll see you later then."625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVLmZBlqLu
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBOQV79BC5
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.625Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW3LrG3k6D
Not long afterward, he drank before letting go and looking up at them. Then he got to his feet and together, the three of them left.
