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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4FBM4JtQo
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY5iMVGmPf
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMA7TRBjec
John raised the stake.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi79NnJeS3
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqNVFWuXKO
He stopped when he saw Elena.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5Rn6KWh37
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ21LlhjE5
"Elena, I have to."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3bTwqSvuy
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWbnejDyrT
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH62rxfeWch
"No," Elena said firmly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cyAgDRAGG
He put the stake away.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzG9v4nl4S
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YMGv3XpCX
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp0bfSEFBB
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R6n9mRPrd
Elena looked at her uncle.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg84NYzUlwL
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46w7fIDct4
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICEnHpNBN1
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1pd10gkDy
John left the building.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5VPc8qrua
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat6hYTiFEQ
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl0CdtpVm5
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhrsvmbZ8J
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bfIhbbJO8
Caroline Forbes came over.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2xw2WNZ5s
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWRjeMyuJn
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNx7uMm2pD
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTvwb8EFKe
Nothing.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55qRqkAq20
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvIWqr9qfX
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eZoitBHcq
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoWzXjaUGg
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd0vhVmPQF
She obeyed.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvG6cWWbFb
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIH7UKQePr
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL1B7cehNH
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInJITMUVdu
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H9aV6MNy6
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtYMnAOasF
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6h3kp7ADD
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEtmzcrI5v
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6tVlD8oMq
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeXI4N5KvS
"You need to heal."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYtdUzDNpx
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JdGE4LLVl
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDSP969YkU
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S8Rw9tOaM
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOnPXgUzdy
Ric got to his feet.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3UgCyrmCJ
"I'll see you later then."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBl94s0bxY
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRedkOvhFz
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTaOrgaIJe
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.
