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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWB7vv8R3Y
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uYnsS553t
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYlMjLLY4g
John raised the stake.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81qp7BRN8F
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrFy5BsvPJ
He stopped when he saw Elena.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELpZJS2TnC
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrpImh7KZe
"Elena, I have to."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc20Bj7fTPI
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiwUCdoFbm
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QoWSHPnNQ
"No," Elena said firmly.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i6l96PxRK
He put the stake away.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAXUvxt9TD
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjRP6Xg6Tb
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKydAjv6tB
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCltriQ2lpj
Elena looked at her uncle.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokayKFZA3Q
"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."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD3CRsn5iq
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg9ePy0UxA
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD1pfCOKBd
John left the building.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOend8Nd6E
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0vN8pN12e
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyt4zDCWwO
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55qHQpM5KF
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g4aaxkTw6
Caroline Forbes came over.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qiDCfLQLv
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAKSCaBYF2
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRJxQLB06y
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHj57ARFbZ
Nothing.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjVI9lmYuV
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN95gL4eYo
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyHhsbkYVJ
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTQdaqX14v
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw2NfKVvT4
She obeyed.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ491uTcFvUa
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofJr6yD5wN
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGOaDwzdV0
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLl1TJdDRa
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfcdpj58Nm
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd6gSmFqfG
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BuiGpLgiU
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrhDExb5xq
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpaqOdE0y5
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzCSnCBXrt
"You need to heal."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8kDNT3u8Y
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPmt7TwCdf
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcR3rC8K2V
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JxWSt5TcX
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMlGyKIJyV
Ric got to his feet.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ3rYmbCue
"I'll see you later then."628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI5KfLhZBA
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9hTlRCqDo
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pItaqRvzK
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.
