My vision is blurry and I'm sitting against a wall, when I sense a vampire. But at this point, I don't rightfully care. I'm dying anyway. I was attacked by a vampire. I don't feel pain at the moment, so I'm probably in shock from all the blood loss. My wounds are terrible. I have a gash on my stomach and some bites to my left shoulder, both arms, and right hand. I have some scratches on other parts of me and feel blood on the right side of my head.527Please respect copyright.PENANAiDnGIv2LD5
"Alaric?" I hear a familiar voice question.527Please respect copyright.PENANAxvvs50X7aH
I blurrily see her kneel down in front of me and look at me. She has a worried face.527Please respect copyright.PENANAAjD0IfC6EB
"Katherine," I whisper, as I start to feel cold.527Please respect copyright.PENANAfz1zScsHEn
"Alaric, you need to live," she says.527Please respect copyright.PENANACHHSxifNgu
"I will. When I come back," I reply.527Please respect copyright.PENANAW6H5OXnyOZ
"Where's your ring? It's missing," she says, scared.527Please respect copyright.PENANAX0f44kRdaV
"What do you mean?"527Please respect copyright.PENANA8Xvm4GEnE0
"I mean, it's not on your finger."527Please respect copyright.PENANAu3fiA7ZKpq
I know she's right, even though I can hardly feel anything. She wouldn't lie to me.527Please respect copyright.PENANAqH4hSKq8xu
"It'll be fine," I say, trying to calm her.527Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3TPy3Xlkd
"No. You need my blood, Alaric. It'll heal you."527Please respect copyright.PENANABu92qkAdn6
I don't answer her, because now I can't. I can't focus and it's all I can do to breathe. I've died before, but I've never felt like this. I've never felt so cold before. But all the other times, I had had my ring on.527Please respect copyright.PENANA6dC92NY1pG
