661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z0untnAbi
I kneel down beside Damon Salvatore and force fed him some blood.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmgL1JmWYn
"Come on, Damon. Wake up," I say, pleading with him, wondering what's wrong.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xrlUQC4QH
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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrTchT87Oi
"No," I say. "No. Damon."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwFNz5bitC
I take his phone out and call my doppelganger.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2T9ZWmyBz
"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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtNOWK5IpH
"I didn't know. I'll be right over."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdENDJlGz6
She hangs up and I put his phone back.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Ti9HGzon
"Please wake up, Damon," I beg.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3XiMwqDiX
I gently slap his cheek to see if that'll work.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX6NZYLo6K
I wait.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyzDj7l8N4
Nothing.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fPEjq7XPx
I take his hand in mine.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVdl3DqJXg
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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZvP4drKsr
"We need to get him home," I inform her.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYo24zvdX0
She sees that my ring is off I guess, because she had to ask me, "Where's your ring?"661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7MOnx41Es
"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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL3JzeYBWr
"We need Klaus' blood. That's the cure," I say as normal as I can.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguZA6fIPwO
She hears my wavering voice, because she puts the cloth on his forehead and turns around to look at me.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm3z4LF8zk
"Katherine," she says.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitgNGmKpwr
I can smell her fear scent and concern for me.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ujzXLKhC
"Take care of Damon. He's more important," I tell her.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHZ8B9JGEB
"No. You're both important. What's happening to you?"661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a8BOyZS6L
"You really want to know the cold, hard truth? I got burnt too much. I'm dying."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi7nZZSDbI
"I won't let you die, Katherine. What can I do?"661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynWY1BGdWF
"I don't know."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m60NS13l5
Alaric Saltzman walks in.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBqM9taLEM
"How's Damon doing?"661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbILCRp3fBE
"He needs the cure. Klaus' blood. And Katherine's dying, too. She got burnt helping me."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSApjiRXkH6
"I'll take care of Katherine. You do what you have to," Alaric says.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPiOwlSmbk
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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMPJTYbkpe
"Katherine," I say. "Stay awake."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3893xkSNF
Careful not to touch her burnt skin, I gently pick her up in my arms.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIPTdeAsC8
"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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMydbW0wzo0
"How are you feeling?" I ask, looking at her.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKKZMOPseL
"Weak. I'm dying. Please. Kill me now."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmNQSng0ku
"No. I'm not going to kill you. Look at me."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgjvj31nEK
She looks at me, but is unsteady now.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3hdBG2KEt
I catch her from hitting the floor, as she collapses to the floor.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAqQp3Oaip
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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCRZrHBxCo
"No. You're not dying. Not today," I say.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMzg8bOdgT
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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvjX55weU1
I sit up in bed and look at Elena Gilbert. She's sitting on my bedside.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARB6TUuGCp
"Thanks," I say.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuftBypDNG
"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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY2Zmas4wz
Katherine. She almost died. But she'll be okay. I feel it, I think to myself.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcNYB0OniA
"Then I'll think her when I see her again."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojlY9cDke4
Elena soon goes home and I go downstairs.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIpBoUH6Lb
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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunKsGRaY7p
I stop drinking and open my eyes.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYwOJU318V
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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs7kQpvQ6A
I get to my feet, as does he.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHla2mdFuxP
"Thanks," I say.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggw1caRI2i
He leans against the counter with a hand on it.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfckEz7g5R
"I'm sorry. I took too much," I apologize.
"It's my fault. I should've known how much a dying vampire would need."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9pKHCjE0o
He struggles to stay on his feet and breathe right.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA5wG1xQY7
"You need blood, Alaric."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIBQX4kOj8
"No," he argues.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjTFsNmH3B
"Alaric, you're going to die."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkonMABMgj
"Then I'll die."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOsOkUGxqT
I hear his heart and breathing slow.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyt99JMeAh
"I don't want you to."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrzinjxaqV
I look at his hand and his ring is off.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBalYh0gfQ
No, I think to myself.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCJtT8k7kh
I look back up at his face to see him grow paler and then collapse to the floor.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuTFu9vuMU
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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOXk40SvMh
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.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYvoitO8WG
I sit up.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RHrrsWC8k
"Thank you."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlralaCfgT
"You're angry with me, but I'd rather you not be dead."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr6LsQqsTH
"Well, at least you're not being a selfish bitch."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JguTfr4IT
"And those are strong words. I never thought I'd hear you call someone a selfish bitch."661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA0dZj8wyk
She helps me to my feet.661Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgjeeilvSR
We soon go back to the Salvatore boarding house, where we find that Damon's okay. I then go home.
