It was a dark night as John Gilbert, Elena's uncle, stood over Anna whom had awoken. The basement was on fire and wood started falling.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiJJpviXil
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XRA4B0Jop
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJpdoqybkY
John raised the stake.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2iIvi7qDM
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3x5vbiLrg
He stopped when he saw Elena.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh42kRc6CD
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJyAWZetkF
"Elena, I have to."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek7pDOqRnn
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr6l4CXy5y
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkXNlSoajn
"No," Elena said firmly.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsIXd5T493
He put the stake away.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT0yEf0MIx
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlgY2R7RNe
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NRgYqlFJV
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWiQBDN2Xf
Elena looked at her uncle.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eUHH0ZYmj
"We're the good guys. We don't kill good people. Anna, Pearl, Damon, and the others have done nothing wrong. You should just go home."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRmIiOxpjx
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngZ2Wq2iNe
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx7ZxdIA1v
John left the building.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElUn2gfTb5
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWsi5AyMoT
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO6xcdj4WS
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o2cHVwkKI
As Caroline headed in, she knew whom John had meant. Elena. Elena was in there. And as she headed down the stairs, she saw Elena at Damon's side.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jjm81whyY
Caroline Forbes came over.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0r24wc6Qw
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK1fBOKtuG
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqTJ1rl0i8
As Elena knelt at her side, Caroline did as she was told. She knew better than to argue with Elena. After all, Elena could be stubborn at times; more so than herself.
"Katherine, can you hear me?" Elena called.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZTvlYCCK4
Nothing.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB9wKw8tXR
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUszARHElKs
With that, the human look-alike put an arm around her, put Katherine's arm around her shoulders, and got to her feet, using her own body weight to hold her up. Then she headed towards the stairs as another pillar that held up the ceiling, fell and the fire got even worst. As it did, she started to cough.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEXVjJcQyr
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUDlhvZmYA
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhdS374x83
She obeyed.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr8Z6A7WiJ
He walked into the flaming building to help Elena out, when he saw her with Katherine. He gently carried the vampiress when he saw them, Elena at his side.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8fB4p4Y6z
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqIXpmFXiI
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0z5ziz6g9
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeUgwlhpw1
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJyRjy9Lrn
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08epLkRzER
Elena cut her wrist, pulled Katherine gently into her arms, and put her wrist to the vampiress' lips, making the blood go down her throat.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLy0liEWMy
Alaric didn't know what to do for Damon, so he just looked down at his friend. He'd give him his blood, but the Vampire Hunter had issues with giving vampires his blood.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFUjWppUcW
A few minutes later, Katherine started to drink. But a few moments later, she stopped and looked up at Elena. She then sat up and held out her wrist after biting it.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX0GuaZEiJ
"You need to heal."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU00UIr6feq
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLGtz7Vwih
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsbwJR9Xn4
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVT2LWjzRL
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9kfliH9VV
Ric got to his feet.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouvSGr07vA
"I'll see you later then."637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaNviXe9JN
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1RiLJXV56
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.637Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguXxzLDG28
Not long afterward, he drank before letting go and looking up at them. Then he got to his feet and together, the three of them left.
