        As I lay on the hard ground, I hear Klaus' footsteps, as he walks away. Then he's gone. But the next thing I know, I hear someone racing towards me and I smell Alaric's scent.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF02afFK64
        A few minutes later, as my vision blurs, I vaguely hear Alaric after I feel the dagger come out.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ56QxhAXmx
        "Katherine, hang in there. You're going to be okay."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXObSSv3JAT
        I feel the stake come out, as I weaken.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiI7Y2qGyB
        "You'll live," he assures me.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGLz11itLB
        He gently sits me up.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6SKUwVgzu
        "Alaric," I greet.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe11NoqiwU
        I feel my wounds close up, but I'm still weak.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0bfoFjrC0
        He helps me to my feet and I put a hand on his shoulder to keep from falling. I feel weak and light headed.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi9yQIafS7
        "Katherine, look at me," he says gently.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSzkeBXNwa
        I do.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWssW8ofri
        He gently puts hands on either side of my head. He then looks back at me.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvwwG3pzyr
        "Focus, Katherine. Focus. Stay with me."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5r40cwsqO
        I can barely stand, as he tries to keep me awake. It's hard on my part. I'm starting to lose my senses. Usually, vervain doesn't make me feel this way. But I haven't had any for a month. My body isn't used to it anymore. I feel dizzy, unsteady, drained, and unfocused. All I want to do is close my eyes. I've been fighting one thing or another for 500 years. I'm tired of fighting.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYhsQNxBpc
        "Alaric, I-" I start.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcVegagFzP
        "Whatever you want to tell me, can probably wait until you're feeling better," he interrupts.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTdRTLaVT2
        "No. Alaric, I can't. I feel…" I try.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKAmtCmRAB
        I feel like I should tell him how I'm feeling.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3C7ZgHLIr
        "I don't feel well," I finally get out.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWncOpFK7Tu
        He lets go of me.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqLScNrk3t
        "I know. And I'm going to help you."536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFEdUmaTz0
        A moment later, I collapse to the ground, but he catches me with a hand between my shoulderblades, another hand behind my head, holding me up, as I start to lose it. And then he gently picks me up in his arms. I wrap my arms gently around his neck, as he starts walking, resting my head on his shoulder.536Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuUQd9TaV5
        "Try to stay awake," he encourages me, as I try to fight, but I know I'm losing the fight.8964 copyright protection532ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZVeddTx5s 維尼
