It was a dark night, as Elena walked through the dark caves, looking for Silas' tomb.537Please respect copyright.PENANA2UTYxR9Q5h
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. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAFJnBlk22Xp
A moment later, Damon was in front of her. 537Please respect copyright.PENANA0zSMvgVTuG
"Elena, are you okay? What happened?"537Please respect copyright.PENANArr3qbtZBfr
"She's here," she informed him.537Please respect copyright.PENANActxUsAznCC
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. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAOzaLV2y7Pb
"Get everyone out of here and go with them. I'll deal with her and get the cure," he told his childe. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAihRgVjpgMN
She did as she was told, trusting him. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAuFDMrITFBF
537Please respect copyright.PENANA8BDUYZfpwb
537Please respect copyright.PENANAEVTFeZF5on
By the time everyone was out of there, Katherine had grabbed the cure from Silas and had left Silas' tomb. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAbUlr8JAJS2
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. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAAetGKnVgFN
A few minutes later, Damon found her. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAmsHUXmMvrf
He began to walk towards her. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAUGBPFaNRiu
"What the Hell are you doing here, Katherine?"537Please respect copyright.PENANAb7bmomPlz3
"Isn't it obvious? I want the same thing you want."537Please respect copyright.PENANADHG7tDDw76
"You're 500 years old. What would you'd possibly want with the cure?"537Please respect copyright.PENANAMxhSLke1WF
"Klaus wants it destroyed so it can't be used against him. I want my freedom."537Please respect copyright.PENANAqgPmJTkmfJ
"You're going to hand the cure over to Klaus in exchange for your freedom," he realized.537Please respect copyright.PENANAaG4AwD78QC
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. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAS4NzHmCP6w
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. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAovq3fgviH2
She was about to go to her elder childe to help him, when she felt pain. Then everything went black. 537Please respect copyright.PENANACoPSYnrsLz
537Please respect copyright.PENANAvq8eVXHmFD
537Please respect copyright.PENANA1XkuVoG2db
Once he had woken up, he unburied himself and then scanned for his sire.537Please respect copyright.PENANAqTpkpAZlEZ
"Katherine," he said, seeing a hand between some rocks.537Please respect copyright.PENANA7kU8EdJzna
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. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAMBD4PBPb2s
537Please respect copyright.PENANAVtZGS2FA1g
537Please respect copyright.PENANA7unjPGZgCm
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.537Please respect copyright.PENANAbReF2sgJ96
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.537Please respect copyright.PENANAvJr2iFtSls
"Stay with me, Katherine. You're not dying tonight," he pleaded, but didn't know if she could hear him or not. 537Please respect copyright.PENANAILCN7ed7mO
He couldn't believe that he was saving his sire's life after everything.537Please respect copyright.PENANA4nmujD6r8x
As his blood went down her throat, her chest and side wound disappeared and her skin color returned to normal. 537Please respect copyright.PENANATYRWbaXzoI
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away, which instantly healed. 537Please respect copyright.PENANABBkPlXZIOs
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.537Please respect copyright.PENANA8axO3rLHJ3
