I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7faBMwl1E
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu3poU9AL1
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDsMqxxwJn
"No," I say. "No. Damon."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn1SHWnkRH
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40M23eUox
"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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFtSrnaFUc
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wuurx4A1K
She hangs up and I put his phone back.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hSQfIACpZ
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNr3U10dJD
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkO3X19i5s
I wait.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQolLCq55wZ
Nothing.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBAyypkwMv
I take his hand in mine.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmPjeugnQV
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHOfOENTTG
"We need to get him home," I inform her.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohruRkbVTh
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ1ikWFdmS
"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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3CwkP9nJV
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtWhwlr9Mu
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcbVXhwTsC
"Katherine," she says.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ocPuW7b1
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8O3reiFTW
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xInxsPYvb
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ZCuI9Vjb
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwGezsUYCN
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRWcY7Yi6J
"I don't know."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVFE08wGdF
Alaric Saltzman walks in.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZCBRJGe9e
"How's Damon doing?"595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRh3EBtWdZ
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1osMmNL9ki
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqvHmopCEU
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ1SYkvoZ2
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCbGUyd2Qw
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclVIFL139F
"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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTRzy3EyTN
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ024Ty8Qb1V
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmRlxh0rwI
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzcKloBf09
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA59qj4ZP6
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5bpVr45nD
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzLfxYyhZh
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3LmXNXEuU
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu05QJdovsn
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgeNGxi2n5
"Thanks," I say.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve4zIh6X11
"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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2ruA7lLdo
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FsU5CTgix
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNeFrCz1Nm
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zPD5H0LmG
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rdYEi0jzI
I stop drinking and open my eyes.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1NNqg1hUQ
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YPh0cgoS6
I get to my feet, as does he.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxcF6qn0Mf
"Thanks," I say.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuz7BILUFh
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIwjuISxhg
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknpNIeYDEV
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n7VXxdNF5
"You need blood, Alaric."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82I9OGzaa0
"No," he argues.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGf7ArEP7H
"Alaric, you're going to die."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaglGw1t1S4
"Then I'll die."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPxn79PdqL
I hear his heart and breathing slow.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMpZy00dTL
"I don't want you to."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplkG5FU61m
I look at his hand and his ring is off.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkNKeMRJjK
No, I think to myself.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lMyffEovI
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hzQAiV7eK
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2m0K0iwZE
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2hJpkX9SO
I sit up.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy3KZ3oGlm
"Thank you."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjlXXNX57v
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8IguUkFyZ
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu2cWNx9It
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq40gjZqyT
She helps me to my feet.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrMjg4mfEs
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
