I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJblXhTg5t
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTk2OnW402
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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXT1wsBnFq
"No," I say. "No. Damon."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjtdy9a33g
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgW90AGs7m
"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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Qod3kJ7C
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuNa9oTUmc
She hangs up and I put his phone back.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ244rQyKKJ
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5QVjTWrlb
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe8xuyq7vC
I wait.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi286gKqBP
Nothing.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz2LB3VEHq
I take his hand in mine.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDbGEH0uj7
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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HvOd9GTwa
"We need to get him home," I inform her.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVwijZb8DQ
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde6h3ee51j
"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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4KlUMio9j
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA71iKQS2l
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZzhOGvvrK
"Katherine," she says.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dPXlYl1qM
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzDOrxNgTl
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQsuBArC2X
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wFM55mVHV
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgClzA6IDXE
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BwJFZa2Ie
"I don't know."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIpLGLlZi9
Alaric Saltzman walks in.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4sZkR9taE
"How's Damon doing?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdwZts25Zr
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6BWrf64g3
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0CCqhbxVF
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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYlOJfzuww
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaXLnWNrVy
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC60EElvot6
"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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8vlGjA8Nq
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdiL6URzr9
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmOzTQ6QwK
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxcfBJQQp4
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrIYqFlKBd
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLgPAMu4Oe
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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzByoor3fel
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhxKoi817Z
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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDig3rrx9DE
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64uQsc33vP
"Thanks," I say.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsGjZfhurJ
"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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNBSq9tEkO
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2IudfwzXd
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTxj0fSz0Z
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK1lqAFEdm
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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1B32JYvyW
I stop drinking and open my eyes.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUyTF8e1OK
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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPtniIuXK9
I get to my feet, as does he.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZULcob3MtQ
"Thanks," I say.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREwzt128wi
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGHMLUmXzZ
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryyYXGY9iv
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkv6FWqm67
"You need blood, Alaric."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoZPIGjJ1H
"No," he argues.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNkTlwU66d
"Alaric, you're going to die."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZX4WnzUmc
"Then I'll die."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuNi81VA3c
I hear his heart and breathing slow.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSQYe3Tgld
"I don't want you to."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzVmHsXAID
I look at his hand and his ring is off.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt6QAJ6CJC
No, I think to myself.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7PzHPHDNg
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3yykfRWvL
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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LIhARiBns
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.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVyug1bn81
I sit up.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwJAX6REkn
"Thank you."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMmXMvNURD
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnreXCM0CT7
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9sYw6Da5N
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETBGJ5EoXW
She helps me to my feet.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zEgJFA2xQ
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
