My vision is blurry and I'm sitting against a wall, when I sense a vampire. But at this point, I don't rightfully care. I'm dying anyway. I was attacked by a vampire. I don't feel pain at the moment, so I'm probably in shock from all the blood loss. My wounds are terrible. I have a gash on my stomach and some bites to my left shoulder, both arms, and right hand. I have some scratches on other parts of me and feel blood on the right side of my head.507Please respect copyright.PENANA39Vx3l1OgK
"Alaric?" I hear a familiar voice question.507Please respect copyright.PENANAW5cmNi2rz2
I blurrily see her kneel down in front of me and look at me. She has a worried face.507Please respect copyright.PENANAV75dIO40Na
"Katherine," I whisper, as I start to feel cold.507Please respect copyright.PENANAOXLtFVsikN
"Alaric, you need to live," she says.507Please respect copyright.PENANAjrlcqYpz20
"I will. When I come back," I reply.507Please respect copyright.PENANA3GRMmt0aFB
"Where's your ring? It's missing," she says, scared.507Please respect copyright.PENANAIGxL22kl8Z
"What do you mean?"507Please respect copyright.PENANANvUZA0GKUN
"I mean, it's not on your finger."507Please respect copyright.PENANApwyahFnsEz
I know she's right, even though I can hardly feel anything. She wouldn't lie to me.507Please respect copyright.PENANAYtLrhK02Ts
"It'll be fine," I say, trying to calm her.507Please respect copyright.PENANAwsxPUDCk1k
"No. You need my blood, Alaric. It'll heal you."507Please respect copyright.PENANAQGEDtkGCb2
I don't answer her, because now I can't. I can't focus and it's all I can do to breathe. I've died before, but I've never felt like this. I've never felt so cold before. But all the other times, I had had my ring on.507Please respect copyright.PENANAAUNyCslxzU
