I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxZBkKrRxf
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL5NvJJZZz
I toss the empty blood bag onto the floor and look him over, remembering Klaus saying he's unclean. And that's when I see it. The werewolf bite.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZwHwJhXdo
"No," I say. "No. Damon."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMee6tRLU8z
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatmQfBB2KO
"Elena, it's me. We have a problem. Did Damon tell you if he was bitten by a werewolf or not? He has a werewolf bite on his arm. And I can't get him up. Can you come over?" I say, before she can say anything.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAVY3WW5Sy
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EfXXtSnVj
She hangs up and I put his phone back.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcqIk1OsE8
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmfIBxdWEH
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlytQiB584w
I wait.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9r5RQwKIe
Nothing.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyd7y3xoAW
I take his hand in mine.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPaw9Jw3RP
I can't lose you, Damon. Please wake up, I think to him.
Elena soon arrives and kneels down on the left side of him. The opposite side I'm on.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxMWZ24PLr
"We need to get him home," I inform her.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkXekb7sBs
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xL8bMfiWd
"I don't know. Klaus must've taken it. And we don't have time to waste. We'll have to manage. Even if I burn alive helping him. It's worth it. I owe him one and he's my family. Family is everything to me."
By the time we get him in bed, I'm burnt terribly. I lean against the wall by his bedroom door, back against the wall, my vision blurry, my focus going in and out, as I watch Elena standing at his bedside with a wet wash cloth.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzqhZlxKyD
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3svcMW0gUu
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2xvCSVFr7
"Katherine," she says.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRvMf9wb0s
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSAd1Gc8dj
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza89jdZAGh
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxH2m2yO3H
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPe2l7DqPZ
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5O5bknR3E
"I don't know."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE4OvwQskX
Alaric Saltzman walks in.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ3IxELz3S
"How's Damon doing?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8dwlBzO41
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPJakRdduJ
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fTLdWlT32
I feel myself slide down the wall, as weakness starts to come.

I go to Katherine Pierce and catch her, as she starts to slide down the wall. I see she's weak, burnt badly, and fighting to stay awake. But how much longer can she fight? Even a vampire has to give up someday. And Katherine's been fighting constantly for 500 years. I have to try and help her, though. For Elena's sake.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGQtiBu9oO
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLsd0dtNYA
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsjRqbcqHE
"I'm going home," I tell Elena, before leaving with Katherine.
Not long afterward, I enter my apartment, closing the door behind myself. I then set her on her feet. I came here so Elena wouldn't know what's going to happen. I should probably kill Katherine now. Put her out of her misery with a stake through her heart. But for some reason, I can't find the will to do that to her.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew69Cdk2iA
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHETvKDn4w
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyOeaUgqsl
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tzQxzX7mc
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbIG9le7QK
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu7E8Pxf4j
I gently lay her down on the floor and take my jacket off. I use my jacket to put under her head and see her skin start turning purple.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyosQu6PjA
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzVmJFtu5Q
I check to see if she's breathing. Obviously, she's not. So, even though she's a vampire, I give her some breath before pulling her into my arms gently. She's breathing again, which is a good sign. I use a knife to cut my wrist, and I gently position her head back, putting my wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to I'm feeling better. I look down at my arm and my bite mark is gone. That means I've been cured.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDc6PpcF5X
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM4lAJ0kwk
"Thanks," I say.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUm85p0wHZ
"You should think, Katherine too. She was nearly burnt alive getting you here. Ric's at home helping her. She told me the cure before she nearly blacked out on us," she explains.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EZvJVCbqM
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Y3RPloc8
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfB6MEXk59
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvp3vmneKr
I stand by my drinking table and pour myself a shot glass of liquor, slowly sipping it.

I feel the familiar liquid once I awaken, and start drinking. But once I have my strength back, my senses come alert. I can hear someone's heart beating and hear breathing. And the blood is warm…so warm and fresh. And then I smell Alaric's scent. Everything comes flooding back and I realize I'm drinking from Alaric. He gave me his blood to save my life. He probably did it for Elena.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuQEJI3AA8
I stop drinking and open my eyes.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtGhMR0chD
I look up at him and know I nearly died. And that means I took a lot. He's very pale. I nearly killed Elena's guardian.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95ptiK7Jpt
I get to my feet, as does he.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpUKAjhnq7
"Thanks," I say.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9RPiBKXxj
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYqLRSp1ux
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzjExKrSLO
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm8DKGAR8u
"You need blood, Alaric."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25aFq1nk7K
"No," he argues.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPe54Z43hA
"Alaric, you're going to die."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMcjE5SIgM
"Then I'll die."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOvS8pMlMX
I hear his heart and breathing slow.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcCJsZYTsj
"I don't want you to."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWGFVM3ghL
I look at his hand and his ring is off.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWKtMm7Wek
No, I think to myself.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5AO0IfJC1
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaERHXw5nk
At vamp speed, I'm instantly kneeling at his side. He's still breathing. Barely. This is all my fault. I've been so stupid today.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYoMQTMjQG
I bite my wrist and put it to his lips, making my blood go down his throat to heal him. I listen, as it helps him get stronger, and watch as his color comes back to his skin. I know he didn't want this, but I'd rather him be angry at me, than for him to die.

I come to to see myself on myself on my back on my floor. Katherine is knelt at my side.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VBtxK41ZG
I sit up.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpddT9ph6W5
"Thank you."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpBpyIj8Il
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyfsbt0rDG
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVYCkxauZf
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEDTskmy3H
She helps me to my feet.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8bnG9txow
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
