It was a dark night as John Gilbert, Elena's uncle, stood over Anna whom had awoken. The basement was on fire and wood started falling.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfVEpf8G8g
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2PEVB6NHl
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqgvrgXrqS
John raised the stake.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSef4XT414K
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOqIS6MVj5
He stopped when he saw Elena.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡespIE0SSGq
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV6pILXFwz
"Elena, I have to."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKejaEWp417
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9VcXWab5n
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiGeaMlQRS
"No," Elena said firmly.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy4LRuDlNN
He put the stake away.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02mpI3dttr
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD4onSzyfl
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0dqb0Aj89
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD0chlE6hI
Elena looked at her uncle.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvRPWrlKn0
"We're the good guys. We don't kill good people. Anna, Pearl, Damon, and the others have done nothing wrong. You should just go home."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL99TtS6uh0
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xho8q1nSV
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7a7xDs7No
John left the building.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsI6bJQsmA
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXqyWpHhf5
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNX5QyNKyO
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u6EAMRRKZ
As Caroline headed in, she knew whom John had meant. Elena. Elena was in there. And as she headed down the stairs, she saw Elena at Damon's side.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtGbtf9KE0
Caroline Forbes came over.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXh9fYdex2
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wlx8BIrrP
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0WB1DdIWW
As Elena knelt at her side, Caroline did as she was told. She knew better than to argue with Elena. After all, Elena could be stubborn at times; more so than herself.
"Katherine, can you hear me?" Elena called.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg01gFzVUu
Nothing.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfFs2HqgXc
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYykBbXgBwo
With that, the human look-alike put an arm around her, put Katherine's arm around her shoulders, and got to her feet, using her own body weight to hold her up. Then she headed towards the stairs as another pillar that held up the ceiling, fell and the fire got even worst. As it did, she started to cough.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVZu7tWOpX
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzL2GmF1mC
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE7coAUHQT
She obeyed.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DyaiavbRp
He walked into the flaming building to help Elena out, when he saw her with Katherine. He gently carried the vampiress when he saw them, Elena at his side.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLUhXXF5vz
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBpIkHIMmz
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1LjvQ7aRo
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoQx2t0nGp
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc7nPU1JOv
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJV7wDo3ml
Elena cut her wrist, pulled Katherine gently into her arms, and put her wrist to the vampiress' lips, making the blood go down her throat.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPjhMR9FYF
Alaric didn't know what to do for Damon, so he just looked down at his friend. He'd give him his blood, but the Vampire Hunter had issues with giving vampires his blood.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zu4g5pmEZ
A few minutes later, Katherine started to drink. But a few moments later, she stopped and looked up at Elena. She then sat up and held out her wrist after biting it.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldeIntcOr6
"You need to heal."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ypXBHbhG2
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSBFVt57xV
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqaxhvei4O
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWExObxMP7u
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH26vyBwiRe
Ric got to his feet.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyFzPWFj9r
"I'll see you later then."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4qUWghJbg
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2jSxSPsNZ
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaY2Gd7IWS
Not long afterward, he drank before letting go and looking up at them. Then he got to his feet and together, the three of them left.
