He doesn't answer me, when I tell him what he needs. And I can hear his ragged breathing and slowing heart. He can barely breathe and I know this.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ625PqUix6B
I roll up my right sleeve and bite my wrist, as he starts to lose consciousness. I then put it to his lips.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov0rZ4gVsa
"Drink, Alaric," I instruct.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxpoUAFRqL
I'm very relieved when he does.
Ten minutes later, I pull my wrist away and it heals, as does his wounds.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbJZ94Lf41
He looks at me.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ACvz5XnSK
"Thank you."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe8z2Z0X3F
"You're welcome."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCOAMVpcXg
I help him to his feet.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx4vk1E53g
"Let's find your ring, Alaric."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ktu8zALK
"Well said. And clean this mess up before Elena and Jeremy get home," he adds.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9yRsxwl5D
It isn't long before I find his ring, it's on his finger, and the kitchen is cleaned up.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDGnUh6Dqz
I look at him.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZCXWPSitj
"So, what happened?"523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY6WylVzJp
"A vampire attack."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQx3mR19kt
"Who was it?"523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlGJ8peHRb
"I don't know. It depends if you know anyone by the name of Logan."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0axF1aqiG
I tense.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaCdE6YqqQ
"Katherine?"523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXVmMoTQUM
"Alaric, where's Elena? She could be in danger."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VXt7JdjlS
"What do you mean? Slow down and explain, Katherine."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTDyTXCTSF
"Logan was Elena's Aunt Jenna's old boyfriend. Someone, I don't know who, must've turned him. He might be looking for Jenna. He might not know that she's dead."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dd5r35blV
"So you think he would go after Elena?"
"Yeah; she was Elena's aunt, after all."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PS1FrvzYL
"Then let's go."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrNHywQIlj
We head out the back, closing the door behind us, walking side by side. And as we walk, I use my senses to guide me, searching for his scent and Elena's.
