        As I lay on the hard ground, I hear Klaus' footsteps, as he walks away. Then he's gone. But the next thing I know, I hear someone racing towards me and I smell Alaric's scent.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVkQeLyGag
        A few minutes later, as my vision blurs, I vaguely hear Alaric after I feel the dagger come out.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5f4zURE8s
        "Katherine, hang in there. You're going to be okay."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWeLzKuRz0
        I feel the stake come out, as I weaken.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGVoekjCm
        "You'll live," he assures me.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMLbNQCsbx
        He gently sits me up.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6CtzjcwHo
        "Alaric," I greet.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt3nrJHMEJ
        I feel my wounds close up, but I'm still weak.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiujUkzLuip
        He helps me to my feet and I put a hand on his shoulder to keep from falling. I feel weak and light headed.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSzR2LwnNN
        "Katherine, look at me," he says gently.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgOLDVHTsr
        I do.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwspwMTUGlS
        He gently puts hands on either side of my head. He then looks back at me.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzduNNFDx1Q
        "Focus, Katherine. Focus. Stay with me."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwzvGlnw9R
        I can barely stand, as he tries to keep me awake. It's hard on my part. I'm starting to lose my senses. Usually, vervain doesn't make me feel this way. But I haven't had any for a month. My body isn't used to it anymore. I feel dizzy, unsteady, drained, and unfocused. All I want to do is close my eyes. I've been fighting one thing or another for 500 years. I'm tired of fighting.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJqvSuUGO0
        "Alaric, I-" I start.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyNpgPbDrr
        "Whatever you want to tell me, can probably wait until you're feeling better," he interrupts.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLIHFP1V91
        "No. Alaric, I can't. I feel…" I try.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJvGVcRKKP
        I feel like I should tell him how I'm feeling.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPETuPOTjlN
        "I don't feel well," I finally get out.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWe2au5QVw
        He lets go of me.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t6353VsXm
        "I know. And I'm going to help you."552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtspY1F6XRt
        A moment later, I collapse to the ground, but he catches me with a hand between my shoulderblades, another hand behind my head, holding me up, as I start to lose it. And then he gently picks me up in his arms. I wrap my arms gently around his neck, as he starts walking, resting my head on his shoulder.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt91eTte2Y
        "Try to stay awake," he encourages me, as I try to fight, but I know I'm losing the fight.8964 copyright protection548ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22JSKh7tKy 維尼
