I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr75fSj7ycm
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunGv4kRAaN
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKG2bqfNoB
"No," I say. "No. Damon."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NTfx8AiC7
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHjZ0L72Es
"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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHc8i5w0j7
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCrcjLDEPx
She hangs up and I put his phone back.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rd09mDTWq
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRcaaAUURM
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WIGFqz3z4
I wait.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAScrkigBU
Nothing.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNdORUyp0X
I take his hand in mine.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqElr2tBkA5
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczH6CskS4F
"We need to get him home," I inform her.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUee2cDP44S
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUOrYK1vMR
"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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3DDjYXZHm
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTNGX8EQ62
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fI5rIsrdR
"Katherine," she says.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7bA3Bf12O
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYgQabh50C
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH7Cj2rWgh
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXajmHNISvm
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWweKuxH9MU
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VY2Wgm4Wr
"I don't know."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoKhxe1DkB
Alaric Saltzman walks in.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlaJPGUuMi
"How's Damon doing?"643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWaM1dTwxT
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwwFjgtHm7
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTDz4I5NKZ
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDkrZ4oVxZ
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0ygJhMad4
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrfDoqj0Gr
"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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrsm1Qa85A
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8VAR3Yaht
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZcsKpCOmK
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AOrdIIlR7
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLr0ashtsO
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBnEC554yb
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXeSudanDc
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD4U9TxoPI
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn3hEmqpwK
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ElTvv3EEo
"Thanks," I say.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FyjDoxaXP
"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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU6IbUTALf
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXM4CAjRE1
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8dRL7JUkX
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSuKVMNB1B
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPCZQrUL5R
I stop drinking and open my eyes.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb0eDIDhKh
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMANuf9IRfN
I get to my feet, as does he.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtCzvV20lI
"Thanks," I say.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5AINa3UTk
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4B1uTm3qR
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowf9tQ3XX2
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuNPU9h1FY
"You need blood, Alaric."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsTLrdEyAC
"No," he argues.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFrFRbEFie
"Alaric, you're going to die."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgdK1kesuO
"Then I'll die."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPKeSRFAiw
I hear his heart and breathing slow.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAb5Ka96ro
"I don't want you to."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5ikfZEB1Z
I look at his hand and his ring is off.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2GokSyaWC
No, I think to myself.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6EEt0ICPm
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXfk2pX3MA
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPyGSu8ZSF
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz3jsyurpX
I sit up.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCsihenxe3
"Thank you."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKCYDEG7Cx
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kWhjICMNG
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZl3W6DMMP
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6I2OCT9pZ
She helps me to my feet.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRGcyxNvor
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
