I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0yV4B66mH
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5FTQRFArr
I toss the empty blood bag onto the floor and look him over, remembering Klaus saying he's unclean. And that's when I see it. The werewolf bite.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESnheCXtiM
"No," I say. "No. Damon."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIKBKD6qqZ
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfu11f05gJ
"Elena, it's me. We have a problem. Did Damon tell you if he was bitten by a werewolf or not? He has a werewolf bite on his arm. And I can't get him up. Can you come over?" I say, before she can say anything.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vwruwcs7X
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07XsEiN7nX
She hangs up and I put his phone back.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xYoza5l55
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr7WGZmcX7
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRF5eMdxKb
I wait.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ctuz1XD46
Nothing.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMltiFawHp
I take his hand in mine.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCdRdktYmv
I can't lose you, Damon. Please wake up, I think to him.
Elena soon arrives and kneels down on the left side of him. The opposite side I'm on.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hJgpoKtnL
"We need to get him home," I inform her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh51tdGYLws
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaKGMnbbfH
"I don't know. Klaus must've taken it. And we don't have time to waste. We'll have to manage. Even if I burn alive helping him. It's worth it. I owe him one and he's my family. Family is everything to me."
By the time we get him in bed, I'm burnt terribly. I lean against the wall by his bedroom door, back against the wall, my vision blurry, my focus going in and out, as I watch Elena standing at his bedside with a wet wash cloth.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEePFrlys8x
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYUGAtC5zs
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wkvhjii93
"Katherine," she says.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaIEkJ62fP
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI4IcQya3k
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g4MxxqrLB
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mOq7oPHhX
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnyzspA2gy
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ6VCZzfSw
"I don't know."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lKhHy0mRN
Alaric Saltzman walks in.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMNf9GcWzB
"How's Damon doing?"645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGUVZnd54X
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDbPdDvuQk
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQmGhtesyd
I feel myself slide down the wall, as weakness starts to come.

I go to Katherine Pierce and catch her, as she starts to slide down the wall. I see she's weak, burnt badly, and fighting to stay awake. But how much longer can she fight? Even a vampire has to give up someday. And Katherine's been fighting constantly for 500 years. I have to try and help her, though. For Elena's sake.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp90KGgLtD
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsruACUIMT
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsBacqh0gt
"I'm going home," I tell Elena, before leaving with Katherine.
Not long afterward, I enter my apartment, closing the door behind myself. I then set her on her feet. I came here so Elena wouldn't know what's going to happen. I should probably kill Katherine now. Put her out of her misery with a stake through her heart. But for some reason, I can't find the will to do that to her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4u90ssB5n
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL01DeAscu1
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgR0dnF6Y4
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem45TvxOWK
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgpkF9QjsK
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKccRU4rNB
I gently lay her down on the floor and take my jacket off. I use my jacket to put under her head and see her skin start turning purple.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdylL5ROwL
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgEQXtTyP2
I check to see if she's breathing. Obviously, she's not. So, even though she's a vampire, I give her some breath before pulling her into my arms gently. She's breathing again, which is a good sign. I use a knife to cut my wrist, and I gently position her head back, putting my wrist to her lips, making it go down her throat.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to I'm feeling better. I look down at my arm and my bite mark is gone. That means I've been cured.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOvn0V92VK
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVycQc5WNr7
"Thanks," I say.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6pwDNpb1a
"You should think, Katherine too. She was nearly burnt alive getting you here. Ric's at home helping her. She told me the cure before she nearly blacked out on us," she explains.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiapGIzv0F
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfa5pzghvq
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3V7T35ueG
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLqrGFkbq0
I stand by my drinking table and pour myself a shot glass of liquor, slowly sipping it.

I feel the familiar liquid once I awaken, and start drinking. But once I have my strength back, my senses come alert. I can hear someone's heart beating and hear breathing. And the blood is warm…so warm and fresh. And then I smell Alaric's scent. Everything comes flooding back and I realize I'm drinking from Alaric. He gave me his blood to save my life. He probably did it for Elena.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NvpHcb9jL
I stop drinking and open my eyes.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM22oX0z1RE
I look up at him and know I nearly died. And that means I took a lot. He's very pale. I nearly killed Elena's guardian.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5ZWwT9sIS
I get to my feet, as does he.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXf66OE7Th
"Thanks," I say.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlt6QTmp1d
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs41KFrgt2
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ctx6GKaWG
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKfJtoOvKe
"You need blood, Alaric."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA5jp34HQE
"No," he argues.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqDNnFVBvU
"Alaric, you're going to die."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnd2aFZWDe
"Then I'll die."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiebgoWPId
I hear his heart and breathing slow.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdse35eqQz
"I don't want you to."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN9LdZohca
I look at his hand and his ring is off.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NHB15D0AT
No, I think to myself.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3nVjZ0EpK
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4o3RPRgJ1
At vamp speed, I'm instantly kneeling at his side. He's still breathing. Barely. This is all my fault. I've been so stupid today.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZseLEYS7V
I bite my wrist and put it to his lips, making my blood go down his throat to heal him. I listen, as it helps him get stronger, and watch as his color comes back to his skin. I know he didn't want this, but I'd rather him be angry at me, than for him to die.

I come to to see myself on myself on my back on my floor. Katherine is knelt at my side.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnCM4KI0IM
I sit up.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vLWcXH9a4
"Thank you."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgY2icWG5D
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT0f420yQ9
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn0fWI8BSX
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVhwUlGbTy
She helps me to my feet.645Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PpgLBqnd9
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
