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.539Please respect copyright.PENANA0CTMZ2XUBE
"Alaric?" I hear a familiar voice question.539Please respect copyright.PENANAOnwAETRBnN
I blurrily see her kneel down in front of me and look at me. She has a worried face.539Please respect copyright.PENANAQY0bnFPCJw
"Katherine," I whisper, as I start to feel cold.539Please respect copyright.PENANATmv31mGA5w
"Alaric, you need to live," she says.539Please respect copyright.PENANAuYyo1zyWOQ
"I will. When I come back," I reply.539Please respect copyright.PENANA7mw2GbjGt8
"Where's your ring? It's missing," she says, scared.539Please respect copyright.PENANAV684bBwPTE
"What do you mean?"539Please respect copyright.PENANA86CBvNIszl
"I mean, it's not on your finger."539Please respect copyright.PENANAph8eygFmDE
I know she's right, even though I can hardly feel anything. She wouldn't lie to me.539Please respect copyright.PENANAEPGLID6L5w
"It'll be fine," I say, trying to calm her.539Please respect copyright.PENANAsRDYQarJrx
"No. You need my blood, Alaric. It'll heal you."539Please respect copyright.PENANAFDvLtPHzwK
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.539Please respect copyright.PENANAlFFcPnsakC
