It's a dark night. I'm walking through Mystic Falls in search of vampires to kill. As usual. After all, my name isn't Alaric Saltzman the Vampire Hunter for nothing. I do this every night when I'm not busy helping my friend Damon, or taking care of Elena Gilbert and her brother Jeremy Gilbert. To top it off, I'm also the Mystic High History teacher.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z4RJc3atZ
I'm in an abandoned part of town, when an old vampire enemy of mine comes out of an alley.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmQlPz5gZq
"Alaric," the vampire greets.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHNhhW8Ofo
"Judas," I greet back, but it's not really a greeting. Judas the Bloody is my vampire enemy.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5wNeXIFFS
He's instantly in front of me and grabs hold of my throat. Then he has me up against an alley wall.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dW0BMxEAT
I gasp from the tight hold and try to get his hand off my throat. But he's a vampire. He's too strong. He wants me dead, as I do him. And as he vamps out, I know he's going to kill me tonight.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92e4XrtZHv
"Good-bye, Alaric Saltzman," he says, before lowering his head and biting into the side of my neck.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux73bS4qoI
As he continues to feed on me for what feels like twenty minutes, I feel weak and I start to lose my vision. And a few minutes later, I feel myself start to sag to the ground. Then everything goes black.

I'm taking a walk when I smell blood a mile away. So I follow the scent trail.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b2bGin0U4
It isn't long before I find whom it belongs to. Alaric Saltzman. From a distance away, I see a vampire feeding on him. And from where I stand, I can hear the slow rhythm of his heart and shallow breathing. As he lies on his back, eyes closed, having pale skin, looking limp, head rolled to the left, I know he's dying.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAxiTcQ4fB
I know I have to do something. I don't know if he has his ring on or not. I can't tell. The vampire is in the way. I can't let him die. Plus, like Elena and Damon, I care about him. So I do the one thing I can do. At vampire speed, I throw him off of Alaric, making him hit a wall. I don't have a stake with me, so I kneel down by Alaric and search for a stake. I find one in his jacket and pin the vamp to the wall with a hand around his throat. In the next instant, I stake him in the heart and he fall to the ground with cracked skin, as he dies.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8gfDAIuFm
I rush over and kneel at his side. As I do, I can hear that his breathing has stopped. I look down at his hand where his ring should be. It's not there. It must've fallen off.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP84MZdJIW
"Don't die. Don't you dare die, Alaric."669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5qStGxKB3
I put my lips to his a few times, breathing in to him, trying to get him breathing again. It works after ten minutes.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEPQO1aVuZ
I see his ring by a wall and pick it up, going to kneel at his side again. I take his hand and lift it, putting his ring on where it usually is. Then I set it gently back down at his side.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxbxvhybN0
I gently pull him into my arms and position his head back, biting my wrist and putting it to his lips, making it go down his throat to heal him.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnUqCV8dJU
When his bite is healed, I take my wrist away and it instantly heals. I gently lay him back down and rest a gentle hand on the side of his face. His heart and breathing are normal again, as well as the color of his skin.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJld9iwjJR
I wait for him to come to.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9DTfS0O72
A few minutes later, he does and sees me.
"I saved your life," I inform him. "And killed that vampire."669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH7ydXmguV
I gently help him to his feet, as he gets up. He's still eternally healing. I have to help him get to Elena's before I can leave him.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GtY57zBVf
With an arm around him, I help him get home to the Gilbert home.
Once he's on the couch, he looks at me.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn9Yxuepdi
"Thanks. I might owe you in the future."669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XSF1ag9FE
"You're welcome."669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CW3KStQbi
I walk out the door, closing it behind me. Now I'm heading to the boarding house to get some rest.
