It was a dark night, as Elena walked through the dark caves, looking for Silas' tomb.772Please respect copyright.PENANAnOh995TVc8
Suddenly, she saw someone. She blurred towards her to try and stop her, as she yelled, "No!" She got thrown against a cave wall, though. Then her mirror image was out of sight. 772Please respect copyright.PENANA4m9c6Y3HUp
A moment later, Damon was in front of her. 772Please respect copyright.PENANADAWZFYibLo
"Elena, are you okay? What happened?"772Please respect copyright.PENANAVZQNVfM5U0
"She's here," she informed him.772Please respect copyright.PENANAPgAUsVIUgK
He didn't have to ask who. He knew who she meant. His former lover and Elena's bloodline, as well as his sire; Katherine. Why she would want the cure was beyond him, but he would rather deal with Katherine and get the cure than for someone else to do it. 772Please respect copyright.PENANA62dTYJF4Ig
"Get everyone out of here and go with them. I'll deal with her and get the cure," he told his childe. 772Please respect copyright.PENANASX2wdlgkUs
She did as she was told, trusting him. 772Please respect copyright.PENANA1OEOghggSF
772Please respect copyright.PENANApFYGjsXJY9
772Please respect copyright.PENANAC80x6RqdNj
By the time everyone was out of there, Katherine had grabbed the cure from Silas and had left Silas' tomb. 772Please respect copyright.PENANAf9LgszzpEu
When she was half way away from Silas' tomb a ways, large and small pieces of rock from the caves began falling. Then it was like an earthquake that would never stop. 772Please respect copyright.PENANAqJSlVy3Byx
A few minutes later, Damon found her. 772Please respect copyright.PENANA2oG4CvJ5TN
He began to walk towards her. 772Please respect copyright.PENANAz5oAl7DdPE
"What the Hell are you doing here, Katherine?"772Please respect copyright.PENANARAVxAFWjM5
"Isn't it obvious? I want the same thing you want."772Please respect copyright.PENANA1Hh650qB7E
"You're 500 years old. What would you'd possibly want with the cure?"772Please respect copyright.PENANAFOygV2iFLz
"Klaus wants it destroyed so it can't be used against him. I want my freedom."772Please respect copyright.PENANAEQrGmXNoRZ
"You're going to hand the cure over to Klaus in exchange for your freedom," he realized.772Please respect copyright.PENANAVxj6HOvtsZ
Even though he wanted it for Elena so she could be human again, he had to admit that that was a smart move on Katherine's behalf. He had always admired her for her intelligence. She was too smart for her own good, though. 772Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Ty15uAI9
He was about to demand her to give him the darn cure, when he got hit with some large pieces of cave rocks. Then everything went black. 772Please respect copyright.PENANAe82mGCIwRq
She was about to go to her elder childe to help him, when she felt pain. Then everything went black. 772Please respect copyright.PENANANcYs3G1JTD
772Please respect copyright.PENANAJFPLvcpKYQ
772Please respect copyright.PENANAIlJ2Vt9RQK
Once he had woken up, he unburied himself and then scanned for his sire.772Please respect copyright.PENANA1bZEIyEGcQ
"Katherine," he said, seeing a hand between some rocks.772Please respect copyright.PENANAmPBQES8yhA
He blurred over and started taking rocks off the pile, being careful as to not make the boulder on top dig any further down. She was a vampire, but she could still get hurt or killed. And as he removed cave rocks and began working on the boulder, he used vamp hearing to listen for anything from his sire. Sure, he hated her, but there was still a part of him that was connected to her. He didn't want her to die. Besides, she wasn't exactly evil. Her life just made her what she was these days. What she did in the past and present, she did to survive. 772Please respect copyright.PENANAfoyEXTkBmD

772Please respect copyright.PENANA2iPK7v4Kht
When the pile had been removed from on top of her, he knelt beside her and looked down at her. There was a rebar protruding from the middle of her chest and blood on either side of her head. Her skin started to look cracked and pale.772Please respect copyright.PENANAiOWlf8svua
He pulled the piece of wood out of her chest and gently sat her against him, her head up against his chest. He then bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat.772Please respect copyright.PENANAIpEEtO6Hw4
"Stay with me, Katherine. You're not dying tonight," he pleaded, but didn't know if she could hear him or not. 772Please respect copyright.PENANAZBYQtNQ6vb
He couldn't believe that he was saving his sire's life after everything.772Please respect copyright.PENANAU4BPQ3eIgO
As his blood went down her throat, her chest and side wound disappeared and her skin color returned to normal. 772Please respect copyright.PENANAhK2N1y7PeS
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away, which instantly healed. 772Please respect copyright.PENANAFm5Ke7lB7a
He gently layed her back down on her back. He then put the cure in his jacket, before pulling her into hsi arms and walking away with her in his arms. She'd be okay now, but he had to get himself and her out of the caves.772Please respect copyright.PENANAnoH9pAUQQC
