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.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUNffHTVeL
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA9UwJEwL8
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUdFt0d1dg
John raised the stake.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zVyfAszMA
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU4X8jPf51
He stopped when he saw Elena.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRBGWFKcX9
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ag3XIypSP
"Elena, I have to."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYVyJF23ji
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6z1iTFR2m
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfMRJplZIJ
"No," Elena said firmly.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYgr9aqEEp
He put the stake away.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lLbuXxqIb
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1DzSYCtNo
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6YCcnwV7X
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRjsusbzYK
Elena looked at her uncle.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz1RCHWQid
"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."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJoVIL8myd
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ7aAtxxYf
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciMWPh1qHn
John left the building.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS45Voj6ZY
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aF9GmJC6Y
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY2ZuvBYe7
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd8yasugDq
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.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNFGDyCZcd
Caroline Forbes came over.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYHmmjP9zg
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNcc4ndBqW
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWWLkZQ9qU
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.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50s8cknsdb
Nothing.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYD6bIIgS4
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRgd1DaojM
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.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf1VW0Mvy7
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcNgCM4gdk
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXxoMKb3q5
She obeyed.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZFioMgXVp
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.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhlhirrlXM
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnJNO1Kbbc
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYupBZk8Ud
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbOWVoKFpS
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4ETJLrPjk
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzE2hs6XtF
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.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1qXvSu6dl
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.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoXhzyGXFL
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.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjusv1VwJ0
"You need to heal."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8wV3gxGAs
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJuPhJGBPI
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wpHyhOmQw
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h12mMwalR
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt9XWRMiH5
Ric got to his feet.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2XwdsGeuT
"I'll see you later then."605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXrdGp2l7q
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMlvnaIaNw
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.605Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq046IXVB9
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.
