It was a dark night as John Gilbert, Elena's uncle, stood over Anna whom had awoken. The basement was on fire and wood started falling.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZAagycmXB
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvFGIl0N23
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrAfkU3RBM
John raised the stake.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0CvDhGgjq
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscybHqbKHJ
He stopped when he saw Elena.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yDj6uLVzP
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58R3ZJooTF
"Elena, I have to."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1pdVKWLld
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuLhCWLjF3
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWdE9ghoJz
"No," Elena said firmly.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwChY9IShHm
He put the stake away.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hezjCbmyC
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckeBTVh9bN
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AK9gsVEGh
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDWGV59pi4
Elena looked at her uncle.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSpNAy3Kza
"We're the good guys. We don't kill good people. Anna, Pearl, Damon, and the others have done nothing wrong. You should just go home."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl0fN4Qa1z
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEw7X8o9ou
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflOtEZSQtQ
John left the building.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEOel0oVgK
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU6ld3rw1U
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWggrcQDet
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeVs6naZL9
As Caroline headed in, she knew whom John had meant. Elena. Elena was in there. And as she headed down the stairs, she saw Elena at Damon's side.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ThKUJgeb7
Caroline Forbes came over.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnqtMXCoK9
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl3I0bNVqB
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9f7WVeylz
As Elena knelt at her side, Caroline did as she was told. She knew better than to argue with Elena. After all, Elena could be stubborn at times; more so than herself.
"Katherine, can you hear me?" Elena called.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ80ps97TdF
Nothing.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8fH4N1tIa
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy1bUgxKEz
With that, the human look-alike put an arm around her, put Katherine's arm around her shoulders, and got to her feet, using her own body weight to hold her up. Then she headed towards the stairs as another pillar that held up the ceiling, fell and the fire got even worst. As it did, she started to cough.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQPeQ3snnR
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmafKibbLo
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsP3ocPx56
She obeyed.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji3n91clVe
He walked into the flaming building to help Elena out, when he saw her with Katherine. He gently carried the vampiress when he saw them, Elena at his side.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJol3uJe02
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCueHREnKE
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ0zMfr4QD
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NMbk59SDq
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQfGYvdVuq
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIT6BDrqih
Elena cut her wrist, pulled Katherine gently into her arms, and put her wrist to the vampiress' lips, making the blood go down her throat.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITeUaR3zrB
Alaric didn't know what to do for Damon, so he just looked down at his friend. He'd give him his blood, but the Vampire Hunter had issues with giving vampires his blood.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRT9nYL4Vb
A few minutes later, Katherine started to drink. But a few moments later, she stopped and looked up at Elena. She then sat up and held out her wrist after biting it.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGzBkhuCSL
"You need to heal."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BIEHKD57M
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgF0xeGlfN
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aZdB8ba9l
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSeCOjZc7
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEl8cb6Ha3
Ric got to his feet.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB7tvrpEnA
"I'll see you later then."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ3Fqhg5Z4
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mv5QzrSvc
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKS80g6znm
Not long afterward, he drank before letting go and looking up at them. Then he got to his feet and together, the three of them left.
