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.
