I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxTW8aRgto
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoDKuhC1fQ
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJo9idFzB1
"No," I say. "No. Damon."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9p8I05zmU
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdqQT0Jk7o
"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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2zLWq8Kuu
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv4NxNVpBP
She hangs up and I put his phone back.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZSpiEwlim
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXnK0SBuwv
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiFyK1JnHy
I wait.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqMpBcktdd
Nothing.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPHAHTMpuP
I take his hand in mine.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5WQyqWgMn
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFRcQmkwks
"We need to get him home," I inform her.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsNMt9OZww
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCP7QiJQAT
"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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqmvwmltlX
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV6HvViA2T
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmiigpBT8m
"Katherine," she says.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau9gBiYHYz
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOwaWDfotB
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVu0VITG4t
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJDiI7zr8w
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH1LpQHLM1
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDwHFykHNf
"I don't know."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0Q16FEQX5
Alaric Saltzman walks in.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TOXv0Im6k
"How's Damon doing?"677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR4sjIVCKd
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwOA0Bwfla
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOpL8VcEvT
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb543gUe3XG
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw29yJY9LHI
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqbnTDUEtR
"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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXcWF2sno4
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuCBx9q7l4
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKmYKjpCoU
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrJMl3pyO9
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAYNCfeWt
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VYBtK76Ro
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8MNLzo9jm
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsEoat2P5G
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlaG51MsbH
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOWyV1h6jl
"Thanks," I say.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lR6QWcjK6
"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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFKLSmhMJi
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS8dTOd0Qe
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXfvR2Slru
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1w7fOFWsf
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn5IBhAxHV
I stop drinking and open my eyes.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoks6SVS3nX
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe75hFdupV
I get to my feet, as does he.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKTSx3KbTX
"Thanks," I say.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TU2pzOHyT
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4iZR8ySRZ
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBcdUl2oKn
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6Mnpi5ZDE
"You need blood, Alaric."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYAwkT6TiK
"No," he argues.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALw0kXrDkV
"Alaric, you're going to die."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB1n8zndmO
"Then I'll die."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4t6CtUWgA
I hear his heart and breathing slow.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMQw6NxY5T
"I don't want you to."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdySIIM7VF
I look at his hand and his ring is off.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswJDneusxA
No, I think to myself.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpHzlasuKt
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3L3HLlX2H
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEVPUqba2p
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCe9LRoZyy
I sit up.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFTSQgZB4S
"Thank you."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPavYplzVz
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmC8SGTFEG
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAhwopBO3h
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4bj5ERew9
She helps me to my feet.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTr3bAcUHB
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
