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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAYzb16eIJhE
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.460Please respect copyright.PENANA6mHYI46CT5
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.460Please respect copyright.PENANAXNihxaJvDb
John raised the stake.460Please respect copyright.PENANAiebJe8Ti67
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.460Please respect copyright.PENANARXZVNdolfJ
He stopped when he saw Elena.460Please respect copyright.PENANAq8emrC0D87
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.460Please respect copyright.PENANAXdzbXoI67b
"Elena, I have to."460Please respect copyright.PENANAfr25hCFi9y
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.460Please respect copyright.PENANAcoGvDdasa6
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.460Please respect copyright.PENANAJYW6MtOXWv
"No," Elena said firmly.460Please respect copyright.PENANAJFvOXuN1OK
He put the stake away.460Please respect copyright.PENANAk85BZRznei
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.460Please respect copyright.PENANAUxGGR7AdIh
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."460Please respect copyright.PENANAqxheTgfYAW
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.460Please respect copyright.PENANAHLYxCp4AXt
Elena looked at her uncle.460Please respect copyright.PENANAdq7WTdRbkg
"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."460Please respect copyright.PENANAGO74CKJErZ
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.460Please respect copyright.PENANAip6xNgmxRJ
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.460Please respect copyright.PENANATmbZLaKFFI
John left the building.460Please respect copyright.PENANA2LJbdbGSry
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.460Please respect copyright.PENANApP1UcHM5TJ
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.460Please respect copyright.PENANAe9bJs04yKz
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."460Please respect copyright.PENANAHWRAsT8kGR
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAorLSxKBoWj
Caroline Forbes came over.460Please respect copyright.PENANADQ5nQqY3uX
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.460Please respect copyright.PENANACgyUz0J3Ta
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.460Please respect copyright.PENANA3qLaK6RcAH
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAeKuWjPDUoD
Nothing.460Please respect copyright.PENANAfgfqu5VviW
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."460Please respect copyright.PENANAD8d18jOY9X
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAGWkNNnkgD6
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.460Please respect copyright.PENANAYIBr76NcSS
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.460Please respect copyright.PENANA7rHkHsFIjL
She obeyed.460Please respect copyright.PENANAod7E7VpXl2
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAQKAs3vU4Gq
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.460Please respect copyright.PENANAYSlSXRHTJh
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.460Please respect copyright.PENANAaAf960Fru1
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.460Please respect copyright.PENANAYbfKNBuyAt
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.460Please respect copyright.PENANAq74T16GgeA
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.460Please respect copyright.PENANATkVipFDVYU
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANA7KpprUG81q
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANACSKvfZawPr
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.460Please respect copyright.PENANAM0qO0XvFq2
"You need to heal."460Please respect copyright.PENANAKeqR0LotBW
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.460Please respect copyright.PENANAqtvemEdhHY
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.460Please respect copyright.PENANA5eZKccXLJI
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.460Please respect copyright.PENANA50uU0tNxgq
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."460Please respect copyright.PENANA1FjNtIXvQ6
Ric got to his feet.460Please respect copyright.PENANAGlDWk7KMxF
"I'll see you later then."460Please respect copyright.PENANAeDWavszFQ2
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.460Please respect copyright.PENANA3ahpwxkAuy
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.460Please respect copyright.PENANAEkRYjDVmf7
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.
