It's a beautiful day, as Elena and Elijah walk inside the boarding house. Stefan and I are in the living room. Katherine is missing now and Elena is ready to give her life to save everyone else.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbTG7fiYWS
"You invited him in?" I ask.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWuLdhInr5
"Yes. Elijah has promised to forgive us for killing him, if we apologize. He's going to help us," Elena tells us both.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjyzXGijcw
"I'm not apologizing for killing him," I tell her.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5st9d5KCx
Stefan apologizes for killing Elijah and then Elena looks at Elijah after I tell her that and says, "He'll come around."453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt21hyMcteW
"I doubt it," Elijah replies to her.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZn9ILcSqx
Elijah explains to us all about the Moon curse that was cast upon Klaus, before he pulls out an elixir and a dagger. The dagger will be used to kill Klaus, which Elijah will do, he tells us. He also tells us that the elixir will bring Elena back to life after Klaus kills her in the ritual. I don't like it, though.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR3VSMAo6J
After Elijah leaves, I force-feed Elena my blood to be sure that she will come back to life. I don't apologize to her for doing so, but I am sorry for doing it. I don't like taking away Elena's free will to do what she wants. I care for her too much to lose her, though.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1eyWXKUbC
Later, Andie and I go to Ric's place and knock, guessing where Katherine is at.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAv14tDadG
When Katherine opens the door, I know that I was right.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb7BmkMPQb
"What are you doing?" she asks me.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSPOHda9jG
Andie walks inside the apartment and gives her the bottle of vervain, before she walks outside and stands beside me again.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAclmUVrPnj
"Seeing if you're worthy of our help," I reply, before I walk away.
Later that afternoon, I find out that Tyler and Caroline have been captured and are being held in a cellar. I go to the rescue, only to see Matt Donovan come towards me in the woods with his rifle raised to me.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSn25TH6E0
"Where's Caroline?" he asks me.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg75HeiazZf
"Easy," I say, before I knock him out with his own rifle at vamp speed. I then go in search of Caroline Forbes and Tyler Lockwood. I don't care about Tyler, but I do care about Caroline. Caroline and I had a thing once upon a time and she's Elena's best friend.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviYmj4DjO0
When I find them, I unchain Caroline.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqccj0i9tFc
"Let's go," I say.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5NkV3kKzz
"I'm not going without him," she says.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Bm935H4U
I sigh in irritation that I have to rescue a werewolf too, but Caroline can be very stubborn, so I have to do what she wants or we'll never get out of here. So I unchain Tyler and we head for the Lockwood cellar since it won't be long before Tyler will start to phase werewolf. And I don't feel like getting into a fight with a full phased werewolf tonight. Not if I don't have to, anyway.
We stop when Tyler starts phasing and he says, "I can't hold it off. It's happening too quickly. You have to leave me. Go."453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlwEc0dbcS
"No. We're almost there," Caroline urges him.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSZoKGaJuR
It's no use, though, because a few minutes later, he's a phasing werewolf and lunges towards Caroline. I know I must protect Elena's best friend, so at vamp speed, I go to stand between him and Caroline. And then, when he lunges towards her, I push him away from her and he lunges for me. Then I'm on the ground on my back with Tyler on top of me, hands on his shoulders to try and keep him from not biting me. I don't feel like dying anytime soon.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtQgOYI8mY
Finally, I push him off me and we run for our lives. And as we do, Matt uses his rifle to shoot at Tyler.
Later on, I go to Ric's place again and open the door. Klaus is there this time. Katherine is there too. She's in a corner, as she watches us when I walk in, since there's no longer an invisible shield blocking my way.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlou9K0V3B0
"I wasn't expecting you," Klaus greets, though it's not really a greeting.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a1aHsq2Zt
"I have come to be part of the ritual tonight."453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33SRuDD8Lt
"Be a good vampire and don't screw this up," Klaus answers me, before he rushes towards me at super speed and then everything goes black.
When I wake up, Katherine is knelt at my side and Klaus is gone. I'm on my back on the floor.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirZAjuECWN
"Why didn't you do anything?" I ask her, as I start to my feet and she does likewise.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8WU5nuHfg
"If I had, Klaus would know that I'm on vervain. He can't know," she replies.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlft84BzdL
"I gave you vervain so you can have your own choice," I answer her.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq9tZ3UjAc
I get to my feet and she notices something on my arm that I didn't notice before.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0l1J4h5I6
"What's that?" she asks me.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalVBkpX9L8
I look at my arm and then at her.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBATQvr1wm0
"A werewolf bite," I answer her.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3oDlNYZWT
I sit at the table and look at it again.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq13dKm2I2
"So...no goodbye?" she asks me.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70q0lSSxEf
"For you?" I ask, looking at her. "You don't deserve a goodbye."
That night, I arrive in the woods after the ritual. I go to Elena where she lays dead, and gently pick her up in my arms, before I stop by Stefan whom tells me to take her home.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSCdhmYvEN
"What about you?" I ask him.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf04DzxqUS
"I'll be fine," he replies.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnylgFxYTdj
I walk towards the Gilbert house with her in my arms.
Once there, I gently lay her down on her couch in her living room and kneel in front of her. I gently brush some hair out of her face and tuck it behind her ear.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVDRE2kQ7J
"I swear, if you wake up a vampire, I'll kill you myself," I vow.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrhKVy0fDP
I wait for her to wake up.
When she awakens, she puts a hand to the side of her head like it hurts her.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZYFXhqUJN
"How do you feel?" I ask her.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52lHZvNEOy
"I feel...fine," she answers me.453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGkZw363oY
I sigh in relief.
