It's a dark night. I'm walking through Mystic Falls in search of vampires to kill. As usual. After all, my name isn't Alaric Saltzman the Vampire Hunter for nothing. I do this every night when I'm not busy helping my friend Damon, or taking care of Elena Gilbert and her brother Jeremy Gilbert. To top it off, I'm also the Mystic High History teacher.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PR5GzNk5E
I'm in an abandoned part of town, when an old vampire enemy of mine comes out of an alley.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRbITjEfPE
"Alaric," the vampire greets.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC5qT8iEt2
"Judas," I greet back, but it's not really a greeting. Judas the Bloody is my vampire enemy.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ObBmX6iB1
He's instantly in front of me and grabs hold of my throat. Then he has me up against an alley wall.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG8DxZpARX
I gasp from the tight hold and try to get his hand off my throat. But he's a vampire. He's too strong. He wants me dead, as I do him. And as he vamps out, I know he's going to kill me tonight.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOFEUMYv7U
"Good-bye, Alaric Saltzman," he says, before lowering his head and biting into the side of my neck.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83BVBl8Vzi
As he continues to feed on me for what feels like twenty minutes, I feel weak and I start to lose my vision. And a few minutes later, I feel myself start to sag to the ground. Then everything goes black.

I'm taking a walk when I smell blood a mile away. So I follow the scent trail.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvduSVc8RhW
It isn't long before I find whom it belongs to. Alaric Saltzman. From a distance away, I see a vampire feeding on him. And from where I stand, I can hear the slow rhythm of his heart and shallow breathing. As he lies on his back, eyes closed, having pale skin, looking limp, head rolled to the left, I know he's dying.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U4OmqRSaX
I know I have to do something. I don't know if he has his ring on or not. I can't tell. The vampire is in the way. I can't let him die. Plus, like Elena and Damon, I care about him. So I do the one thing I can do. At vampire speed, I throw him off of Alaric, making him hit a wall. I don't have a stake with me, so I kneel down by Alaric and search for a stake. I find one in his jacket and pin the vamp to the wall with a hand around his throat. In the next instant, I stake him in the heart and he fall to the ground with cracked skin, as he dies.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagVSBkMHTL
I rush over and kneel at his side. As I do, I can hear that his breathing has stopped. I look down at his hand where his ring should be. It's not there. It must've fallen off.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9KuE2g25l
"Don't die. Don't you dare die, Alaric."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71hPRhxXa0
I put my lips to his a few times, breathing in to him, trying to get him breathing again. It works after ten minutes.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToEc44oEGr
I see his ring by a wall and pick it up, going to kneel at his side again. I take his hand and lift it, putting his ring on where it usually is. Then I set it gently back down at his side.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZyZYi6qmD
I gently pull him into my arms and position his head back, biting my wrist and putting it to his lips, making it go down his throat to heal him.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk52gJkvAki
When his bite is healed, I take my wrist away and it instantly heals. I gently lay him back down and rest a gentle hand on the side of his face. His heart and breathing are normal again, as well as the color of his skin.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIDnU0Q1Ld
I wait for him to come to.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudURpNQuG8
A few minutes later, he does and sees me.
"I saved your life," I inform him. "And killed that vampire."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJCn58iRqI
I gently help him to his feet, as he gets up. He's still eternally healing. I have to help him get to Elena's before I can leave him.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wV6wQ6Cd8
With an arm around him, I help him get home to the Gilbert home.
Once he's on the couch, he looks at me.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwgBCkUBwB
"Thanks. I might owe you in the future."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONXFMc9uMT
"You're welcome."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvKSUEviiw
I walk out the door, closing it behind me. Now I'm heading to the boarding house to get some rest.
