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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLQZ25GI9E
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4YsfpMfx6
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmaePtAosr
John raised the stake.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V9kqueZbl
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDM7p0ut1Y
He stopped when he saw Elena.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOGst5lWhc
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Pc1u7011
"Elena, I have to."638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9crsXgSFs
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j0cYQ0xM2
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGjviuX5yE
"No," Elena said firmly.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fez33H1bI
He put the stake away.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaCrMyJqu2
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK2x1LFR8v
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjakxFFG10D
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m3HfzSZkh
Elena looked at her uncle.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBytTMgyI5r
"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."638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8l33RPgcJ
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hZKkXetj7
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtMB7fuFW3
John left the building.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpDlaipIq2
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpfTPqSS6S
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTbt1IRs5z
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImpfMTvyUL
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zg2dcV9Ut
Caroline Forbes came over.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzPKZgs1WK
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8GjgwPJhJ
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErVuSkuyZ8
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaiob7JeDI
Nothing.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD1oEaDWxP
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9dcEfKiEq
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyvPsftnjQ
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rPK30ellm
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz82vQDCyAd
She obeyed.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LZGa5lLT3
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaldVwI8qFj
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ828hDq6klU
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxODD3CbqY9
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ro3HA1j6X
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmTLo81Uyv
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEPIzMHrLS
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbzK7P928K
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRZ9tjgMcL
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB3uQt8ZKk
"You need to heal."638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxifMXyV5Hl
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv77oahEH7o
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvne4PT9UM
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj1omC0KFF
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGFjA7TAgV
Ric got to his feet.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnacawtIHo
"I'll see you later then."638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiZ2Eg05CD
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhUC6WYhKw
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBK3H5T9vv
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.
