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.657Please respect copyright.PENANAeTv3xNLXiI
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.657Please respect copyright.PENANAQpFhD31wDT
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.657Please respect copyright.PENANAEjIqG1ltxc
John raised the stake.657Please respect copyright.PENANAcK2IBKiLhb
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.657Please respect copyright.PENANADSwgOvLPHO
He stopped when he saw Elena.657Please respect copyright.PENANAOp4Fh7JBp7
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.657Please respect copyright.PENANAcbxd1SdLH1
"Elena, I have to."657Please respect copyright.PENANA70223uJ7cU
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.657Please respect copyright.PENANAbcFwvtZ1Zf
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.657Please respect copyright.PENANAlBSiatEj1x
"No," Elena said firmly.657Please respect copyright.PENANAE9N03KseAa
He put the stake away.657Please respect copyright.PENANAiIVyyksIyW
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.657Please respect copyright.PENANASFKFlV9Vql
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."657Please respect copyright.PENANAoDeLaZLkWb
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.657Please respect copyright.PENANAxDZKjVsqCl
Elena looked at her uncle.657Please respect copyright.PENANAmHJayC08XF
"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."657Please respect copyright.PENANAvyzOjfZgdO
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.657Please respect copyright.PENANA6OZBWh9hkA
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.657Please respect copyright.PENANAtBSMAVuj8H
John left the building.657Please respect copyright.PENANAoj24HReonu
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.657Please respect copyright.PENANAllxKev7sBm
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.657Please respect copyright.PENANA1kI4CfgSZD
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."657Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vz840u75E
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.657Please respect copyright.PENANAzkaxV7awbp
Caroline Forbes came over.657Please respect copyright.PENANAtTaZL4V1xa
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.657Please respect copyright.PENANAX8QdarRHTn
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.657Please respect copyright.PENANAjWoFZhtI8W
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.657Please respect copyright.PENANAJT8SwbJKgI
Nothing.657Please respect copyright.PENANAjYBgBHyxrd
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."657Please respect copyright.PENANAExgyxhvi60
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.657Please respect copyright.PENANAHA8bRZY65S
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.657Please respect copyright.PENANAhKyEmdt5Lc
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.657Please respect copyright.PENANA7OuZrlasJR
She obeyed.657Please respect copyright.PENANAZLjOCw8C8i
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.657Please respect copyright.PENANApSq8kqYE1T
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.657Please respect copyright.PENANAD4xqGrKqB2
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.657Please respect copyright.PENANADhyS9eq3LF
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.657Please respect copyright.PENANAiJHt3tC6gc
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.657Please respect copyright.PENANA5wGKH1hCYR
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.657Please respect copyright.PENANAgubfWw14yh
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.657Please respect copyright.PENANAeZYaf48gSG
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.657Please respect copyright.PENANAFARzmfHpRb
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.657Please respect copyright.PENANAwQRztqYFPG
"You need to heal."657Please respect copyright.PENANA6IidLrculd
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.657Please respect copyright.PENANA1PDeMtuo4Q
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.657Please respect copyright.PENANAbBYxp4jciq
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.657Please respect copyright.PENANAALOa1EmISk
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."657Please respect copyright.PENANAJycCl17cGC
Ric got to his feet.657Please respect copyright.PENANAwKJYyxK37d
"I'll see you later then."657Please respect copyright.PENANAisIxdplASk
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.657Please respect copyright.PENANAYVuT9IcWtH
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.657Please respect copyright.PENANAzzPHhohMM6
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.
