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.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfnJR6tc5B
"Anna," John greeted before taking out a stake.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdchOx8biB
"No," she whispered weakly, vervain still in her system.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpIbTKCXdQ
John raised the stake.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTXwEzEr1L
Just then, Elena Gilbert came rushing down the stairs.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74yoDoq9sv
He stopped when he saw Elena.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM1Qb3ot6B
"Uncle John, no!" she yelled.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyff5RGXC2
"Elena, I have to."594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhHSAHWbN2
"No, you don't," she replied, standing just inches from him.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Kcw5UbFa
"It's our family duty," he reminded her.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePk9I1x8id
"No," Elena said firmly.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSf4RFmBqB
He put the stake away.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIgMlIMCSq
Elena knelt by Anna and helped her slowly to her feet, as she got to her own feet.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdWo8Y4ADH
"Get out of here. Go find your mother and get home."594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlURjI7WCfk
Anna slowly left to do as Elena said.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb54xc56NSK
Elena looked at her uncle.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtxAOSxf2X
"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."594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa9Ob7TENY
Elena ran to Damon and knelt at his side.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48kXCzOUsB
"Damon. Damon, can you hear me?" she said urgently to the unconscious Salvatore brother.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YWkEv7tCr
John left the building.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXfOKSbC9V
Once John emerged, he saw Caroline and Alaric head towards the building.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorKic6T5pE
"She's in there," John informed them, as he walked past them.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cwyhopdJJ
"I'll help her," Caroline said. "Stay here."594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Nm1s7aWk
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.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooOYwYVNFx
Caroline Forbes came over.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9E8oemZDk
Elena looked around and saw her vampiress best friend.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ040IWq87iB
"Get him out of here. I have to help Katherine," Elena told her BFF, before getting to her feet and heading over to Katherine.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVTRvOUqh1
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.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX2nMubbUE
Nothing.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNklNnPq0I
"If you can hear me, I'm going to get you out of here."594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLICH6qyaYS
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.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbfjqEyXwn
Ric helped Caroline with Damon when she appeared. They gently got him a distance away from the building, on his back, on some grass.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkwaX95HVV
"We should be fine now. Find Tyler and get home," Ric said.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxA3HhyyF6
She obeyed.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeq8k99mTp
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.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHuAIFoINH
Once by Damon, Alaric knelt down at his left and gently layed her down on her back.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qToFOR46F
"I'll help Katherine," Elena said, going to kneel at her side.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikiKU09E2i
The Vampire Hunter knew what she meant, so he got to his feet and took out his pocket knife, handing it to her.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmp9iVUUJL
"Not too deep. It's sharp," he warned her.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquWca0N6hp
Elena took it and he knelt by his vampire friend.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkiGFQNnki
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.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WCIRl55Xp
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.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm4xJ5xGfB
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.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteohXOumJZ
"You need to heal."594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFGFg0CNuu
Elena knew she had to, so she drank, ignoring the taste.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxobM5aARN
A few moments later, Elena stopped and both of their wrists healed.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I5Q7xwVZY
Elena and Katherine got to their feet and went to stand by Ric and Damon.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06zLPPN1WL
"You should make sure the others are okay," Elena told him. "I'll be alright. They won't hurt me."594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmbgDcjosZ
Ric got to his feet.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl2JCobtjJ
"I'll see you later then."594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGDxeKiCbT
He left, as the girls knelt at his right side.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDcTxKFe1Q
Kat bit her wrist and put it to her childe's lips, making her blood go down his throat to help him.594Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9D8YrvW0g
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.
