Summary: What if Katherine was in Growing Pains when Elena was turning into a vampire? What if Klaus hadn't been there to pull Caroline and Rebekah out in Tyler's body? What if Caroline and Rebekah had had an unexpected helper?
It was a beautiful day, as Elena opened her eyes to see that she was in her room at home. Stefan and Damon were in the room with her, Damon seated on a chair by the door, Stefan seated on a chair in front of her bed.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBKVg6gNUL
She sat up.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfChwjgRIFX
"You've been in and out for hours," Stefan said.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqIOSQD1h8
"What happened? How did you save me?" she asked.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRt8HJm8zb
"He didn't," Damon told her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVZi4TF0yD
"Wait. What?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBmGK69KSe
Stefan explained to her what Meredith had done.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmml4YekQT
"So what? Am I dead?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbyMqYSbwN
"You're in transition. You're not fully alive and you're not fully dead."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaGaUBkgfg
"No. I can't be."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPAmKx2vwR
"I have Bonnie looking into it. She might be able to reverse it."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMR0Ia785X
"No. You feed or you die. There's no third door," Damon said before getting up and leaving the room.
He went downstairs to the kitchen to get a shot glass of liquor from Elena's cupboard.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IDc0R3aO0
Stefan came down the stairs just then and into the kitchen.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtEPzUxBOU
He watched his elder brother.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jD9EK8pwD
"You know, you can't do anything about it," Damon told his brother. "If she doesn't feed by this afternoon, she'll die tonight."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIbUhKATCy
"Damon, you weren't there when Elena looked me in the eye and told me she didn't want to become a vampire. We still have a day before she has to turn."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJho9TG5y5
"Whatever. Always the hero," Damon commented, grabbing his glass from the counter and slowly sipping it.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi77kP2u4Nb
Stefan left the room, as Damon finished his drink.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7helCE76K
Back at Elena's room, Elena was looking in her mirror, as her hearing intensified. It was so intense; she could hear the electricity running through a light bulb and she looking down at it, once she had entered the hallway outside her room.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9HG4AvLPR
Her younger brother, Jeremy, walked over to her from down the other end of the hallway.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB2F2YgeVn
"Jer," she greeted.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyw5EK41pz
They hugged.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7yThmA5yT
"Are you okay? I watched Vicki go through this, she was a mess. Her emotions were all over the place. All these old memories came flooding back."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXISPj1XURt
Elena glanced over at the light bulb again, but turned back to face Jeremy again.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sP0CHiObb
"I'm fine. I'm not Vicki."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiCOzWZnYr
"No, you're not. You're act like everything's okay so no one worries about you but you need help."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Ub01o2cN
Elena kept glancing at the light bulb.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsJePYNOOM
"I said I'm fine, okay?" she said all snappy. "I-I'm sorry. I…Have you talked to Bonnie?" she then said more herself.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TatgWD8jv
"Yeah, she said when I was shot, she made some plea to the witch spirit to bring me back and they listened.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvxDZDoeKX
"Yeah, but the consequences were horrible."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLp6Miz5QJ
"And what could be more horrible than you turning into a vampire? I need my sister, not another one of them."
"We're going to find a way out of this. Everything's going to be okay."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2wP5st5uI
"I hope so."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Ba0rwlMD
Elena watched her only brother leave. She then turned around at the light bulb in the lamp and strode over to it. Then she pulled off the lampshade and crushed the light bulb in her hand.
Bonnie was in the Lockwood cellar, staring at Klaus' desiccated body which was lying in a coffin.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7mlQ5UbxT
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Klaus said.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAHy1Ei4Rh
Bonnie turned around and saw Klaus in Tyler's body entering the cellar.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpoO6nH1cQ
"What is that doing here, Klaus? The deal we made with Tyler was that you'd leave his body and jump into someone else's the first chance you got."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmLrhLRrMM
"Yes, when I assumed I'd be a pile of ash. But apparently, fate and oxygen intervened and there I am."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwle7lsR0o7
Klaus walked towards the coffin.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBj2GXCMdP
"Put me back."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NfmPSqStV
"I can't right now."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxBHwTciIl
"Your history teacher outed Tyler and Caroline to the Council. They're on a war path and this body's vulnerable."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3suaURmjic
"I have to help Elena before she has to feed."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h65icat5B
"Elena's dead and no longer my concern."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKL51LfGBb
"You're forgetting who just saved your life."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkiQGkueLQ
Klaus grabbed Bonnie by the throat.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n0AR0lL7M
"And you're forgetting that I could rip your tongue out. Now put me back."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJXL8f7c16
"If I can keep Elena human, you'll still have an endless blood supply to make your hybrids. Isn't that what you really want?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv0oZkrSma
Klaus released Bonnie.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KURQaB6bS
Bonnie started to leave, but Klaus was instantly in front of her and blocked her way out.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJuWilsy9B
"Same rules apply. No one knows. No one. Do you understand me, Bonnie?"
Meredith was walking down the hallway of the hospital, when Pastor Young and some deputies approached her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p3PyxN361
She stopped.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7HtBr3v0K
"Pastor Young. To what do we owe the honor? And don't tell me it's your blood pressure again."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qi5jfh16g
"Honestly, I wish it were."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPatYvPY8i
He turned to the deputies behind them.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4EbVZTeQ4
"Blood bank's in the basement. One of you sweep the rooms."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjZb1D1uT0
"Who gave you that authority?" Meredith questioned.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAQN4vo5Iw
"The Council. They're entrusted me to secure the town and unlike some of our Founding Families, I don't have conflicting interests."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVPJkmhmJo
"What is that supposed to mean?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVFms1NZFc
"Alaric Saltzman told us everything, Meredith. Probably time to start looking for a new job."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfoXfDXSGC
Pastor Young left Meredith there.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUZFy1469r
Caroline was talking to Matt before there were interrupted by a deputy opening the door. But Caroline was quick and was instantly out of sight before the door even opened.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ler9BHQzg
"Can I help you?" Matt asked the officer.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7drtDtCriN
"Sorry."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpywBmYQvk
He got on his dispatch and said, "All good here."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHbxsWgvro
He exited the room and closed the door.
An officer handcuffed Carol Lockwood at the Lockwood Mansion. Pastor Young stood nearby.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUH0N9hXpv
"What's going on?" she asked.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEh6Z7VYky
The officer started to lead Carol out of her house.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9UaiIIci8
"We just need to ask you a few questions about your son."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0ehdm8vtJ
"You can't arrest me! I'm the Mayor of this town!"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2fgYPo9Hc
"Not anymore you're not."
Sheriff Forbes was walking to the police department when Pastor Young stopped her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscuPlGSGbj
"Sorry, Liz. You're not going to work today."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhGzusjqnn
"What are you talking about?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxNk8oQVc1
The deputies surrounded the two of them.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmetPJksHl
"They're taking your badge. You're not fit to protect us anymore."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4CWvJsJ98
"You have no idea what you're up against."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39St77Opol
"On the contrary Liz, I've already taken your deputies. We've got the entire town's supply of vervain, including the stash we found in the Salvatore house. We're making our move."
Caroline was heading out of the Forbes' residence, when her mother called her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxGueUHw1Z
"Where are you? And please tell me it's somewhere faraway," Liz told her daughter.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzd5ircCDm
"Where am I? Uh…good question. Uh…there's just a whole lot of boring highways. Why, is everything okay?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKM3rwrbYm
Suddenly, an officer snuck up behind her and stabbed her in the side of her neck with a syringe.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3tK0gkPzI
"Caroline, what's going on?" Liz asked.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLm3gNxdNd
The phone hit the porch.
Elena and Stefan were in the kitchen.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YSZQghYZC
Elena took a bite of a sandwich.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XA4pSmjtE
"It's disgusting," Stefan commented, watching her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkL3aMjZid
"No it's, um…"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVoDTIcEFo
"It's disgusting," he repeated.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2kXM5UJWj
She spit it out onto a napkin.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfByCz1Z5sH
"I never thought I would say this, but I can't stop thinking about blood."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLvwvWXC8O
"I should have saved you first. You shouldn't be going through this now."
"No, if you have saved me, then Matt would be dead. What do you think I'd be going through then?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC53kVeGhiw
Stefan poured himself a drink and took a sip.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnPE1ruYrj
Elena got up and walked over to him.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bPDHPlDn0
"Stefan, listen to me. You did the right thing. You did what you always do. You respected my choice."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmaGoPkooA
"And what am I supposed to do if Bonnie can't figure out a way to help you? Because then you have another choice to make. Either let yourself die or be a vampire."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtiX0vvtty
"Well, then we'll cross that bridge when we get there."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzZ6J6yVUJ
Suddenly, Elena started laughing.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcUJdSUe1z
"Oh my God, did-did I just say "cross that bridge"?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yfQRKK7gg
Elena started laughing maniacally.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTvHzzKYri
"You're laughing. I'm pretty sure you don't actually think that's funny."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HLjNeO8mp
"I can't stop though," she said, continuing to laugh.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U6TiC1Uxz
"Your emotions are a bit heightened today. A lot heightened."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94YiRItL0H
She continued laughing but then started to cry.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg38lkCBiSW
He hugged her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcpkuCzBRe
"Hey, shh, shh. It's okay. It's okay."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacTuehoAZP
"I'm sorry. I…"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2KC7VfwFH
He pulled away and caressed her face.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Ew9Oi81Z
"Listen to me. No matter what happens, I'm here for you. I can help you."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMo26xM6yF
Elena looked out the window and squinted her eyes due to the brightness of the sunlight.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiahFfT7d9E
"Why don't you go back upstairs where it's dark? I'll clean up."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaa9rigKEW
Elena started to walk away and shielded her eyes from the sun.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMAiQaUSNj
She walked up the stairs into her room where she started to remember something that a while back, Damon had compelled her to forget.
*Flashback*
"Cute PJ's," Damon commented, sitting on her windowsill.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBi85ZynCS
"I'm tired, Damon."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nd764o5oM
Damon got up and walked over to Elena, holding up her vervain necklace.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGePt4vnNA
"I brought you this."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OYyaIoBmr
"I thought it was gone. Thank you."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIOKGwhBZR
Elena tried to take it from Damon, but he pulled it back.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kB9fRjJC5
"Please give it back."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6lQGMGdZ8
"I just have to say something."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQDVPUB8Vu
"Why do you have to say it with my necklace?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBfc4mksB4
"Because what I'm about to say is probably the most selfish thing I've ever said in my life."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpJuLQq3v3
"Damon, don't go there."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuinKjQdkPH
"No, I just have to say it once. You just need to hear it. I love you, Elena. And it's because I love you, that I can't be selfish with you. Why you can't know this? I don't deserve you, but my brother does."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMN33DDAyH
Damon kissed Elena on the forehead.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1LLyItNun
"God, I wish you didn't have to forget this. But you do."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2VfaNBL5N
Damon compelled Elena to forget.
*End of flashback*
Elena touched her neck and looked down.
Rebekah looked at pictures Klaus had drawn at the Original house. She picked one up and began to choke up, almost crying. She threw the pictures down and knocked the rest of them off the table in a fit of rage.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO40HAemWk
Damon entered the room behind her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvs8vhIOaa
"You should know better than to sneak up on a lady."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3S98V7y1H
"Good advice. Have you seen one?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZNiZfl7df
Rebekah turned around to face him.
"Tragic about Elena. Not to make a grey cloud grayer, but does Matt even have automobile insurance?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFdnjH3SoL
Rebekah turned back around.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76EDHwb5Yj
Damon rushed at her with the indestructible white oak stake. She grabbed his wrist and prevented him from killing her. She pushed him against a dresser and he dropped the stake.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53sTa0SfYN
Suddenly, someone started firing wooden bullets through the window. Damon managed to escape, but Rebekah was shot in the heart with an arrow and fell to the ground.
Elena picked up a photo of her with her parents and looked at it a bit.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vEKAyyks0
Suddenly, she heard a commotion downstairs and walked down the stairs.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfASQ6mV5OP
"Stefan?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp7uhg49je
"Elena, don't move."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy2BFnfbLt
Elena stopped on the stair case. Stefan was surrounded by officers and the Pastor. The officers all had their guns pointed towards him. Elena looked at the Pastor and back at Stefan.
Later, Rebekah started to wake up.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO2YWO5S7O
When she came to, she saw that her and Caroline were in a van being transported somewhere. Caroline was sitting beside her and watching her. Rebekah struggled to get out of the ropes that held her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhtYvqmUNe
"Vervain ropes. Looks like Alaric outed us all to the Council," she told the Original sister.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvHc7IyE4Y
"The Council? What exactly do they think they can do to me?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fN9Cz2dW1
Suddenly, the wheels of the van started to screech. The van flipped over. Caroline and Rebekah went flying. The van landed on its side.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXjyGdu7pV
"What the hell happened?" Rebekah questioned.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs9RfcrMuX
Just then, someone opened the door. Someone unexpected.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnOBpZwRTD
"Katherine?" Caroline said in shock.
She knelt down at her side and ripped the ropes off her, ignoring the pain from touching them. She then did the same for Rebekah.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa17MQkItXc
"No time. Come on. Let's go," Katherine said, helping them both to their feet one by one.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5oJ4G0Xl0
Then the three girls left the scene.
Damon was picking things up that had been knocked down during the commotion, when Liz walked into the Gilbert House and Meredith came into the living room where they were at from the kitchen.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfBmmEvHhg
"They're gone. Whoever nailed Rebekah, took them too. Please tell me you have something. Anything," Damon said.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNV44OKbAr
"I can't. The Council locked Carol and me out of our offices. Files, computers, everything," Liz answered him.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBXqf3oJze
"So, the Mayor and the Sheriff never contemplated a backup plan, Liz?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hfkaj2BrJ
"Damon, relax. When Caroline called to say she got away; did they know where they were planning to take her?" Meredith said.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLRsrx7WzD
"No. Just that she was in some van in the middle of nowhere and she managed to escape," Liz answered her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vy8rBUJXq
"Perfect. We've narrowed it down to nowhere," Damon implied.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LlqwJnH7Y
Someone knocked on the front door and then Matt entered the house.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpPcOZ0dU1
"Hey, is Elena here?"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqCD4eumTk
Damon turned around and rushed towards Matt. He grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the wall, choking him.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG2IVc8KqC
"In what world are you the one that gets to live?!"782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADqwZbSXp1
Meredith tried to pull Damon off of him.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR4tUVdA9r
"Damon, stop! It wasn't his fault!" Meredith said.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRLVrJBDcO
"Let him go, Damon! Now!" Liz said.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o7Tb2rNcn
Matt tried to pry Damon's arm off his throat.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwDjnECeNo
Damon finally released him.
Just then, someone unexpected arrived along with Rebekah and Caroline.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiZzvnhHXX
"Katherine," Damon said, looking at her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsztUXpcaCT
"Damon," she said back. "I heard what Alaric cooked up. I'm here to help. In fact, I saved Caroline and Rebekah. So here we are."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgVlME1XmD
Liz and Caroline hugged.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWYb3vgljA
Rebekah stood against a faraway wall.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxQ2OoRj8P
"Why would you go to such a length to help?" Damon inquired of his sire.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMS6dB3Prq
"Because it means my family is in danger. I also heard from somewhere what's happening with Elena. I want to help her. But that first thing is finding where they took them."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AnMkqwR3H
"Yes. And how are do you suppose we do that? We don't know where the hell to look."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NM1Zc5YXu
"I don't know. There might be a place somewhere where they could've taken them. It's out in the country where nobody would look."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t0u1mdydm
She gave him a smile.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0DSCylen
"Let's check it out."
Elena woke up in a barn on the floor. She looked around her. Vampires were coughing due to the vervain being ventilated through their cages. Elena sat up while holding her head.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl4hGTYBns
"Where am I?" she questioned.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFKJz6in0j
"They thought you were a vampire, so they brought you in here. Elena, are you okay?" Stefan answered from the cage adjacent to Elena's cage.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7WfS7lYZb
"Stefan."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAZyejBGGR
Elena tried to pull herself up but was too weak to do so.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BvBvtTEn0
"I didn't feed."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp3DQeArp9
Stefan looked worried.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7klRWGBk8P
Elena began to get paler.
It was a dark night as Katherine, Damon, Caroline, Rebekah, Matt, Liz, and Meredith headed for the old ranch where the Pastor lived at.
782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn7Tj6RS2d
Back in the barn, things were turning to worst for Elena and Stefan felt helpless to help her at all this time.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77hhqylyDq
"Elena? You still with me?" he called to her from where he sat against the wall that divided him from Elena.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVQfRIw4c8
Elena sat on the other side of the wall. She was even paler and was breathing heavily.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXi63izL8L
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm here. I'm okay."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYghJqmrQ7O
"No, you're not. I can hear you breathing. Damon was right. You should have fed earlier. I'm so sorry."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KE58kHasp
"Don't be. You had hope. That's all I ever wanted you to have and you had it."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5og38uYgz
"I love you so much."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnqvpiZxsH
Stefan started to cry silent tears.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtGkEEnB0C
"I love you. No matter what happens, it's the best choice I ever made," Elena said.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bxDklAm2p
She placed her hand against the wall dividing them.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pyZQ5HUPh
"God. It sucks that I can't see you right now."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNTXBNPWzm
"I'm smiling."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqRecgctzC
"Me too."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnyDQBjWf1
Elena took her hand from the wall and closed her eyes.
While the others did the distraction to lure some of them out of the house, Katherine went to the rescue, following their scent, which soon led her to the barn where all the vampires and Elena were being held.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DMSHkZKKL
She walked in and scanned the place.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoadAVExtcM
Normally, she would've gotten Stefan out first, but seeing Elena, she knew she was the worst off.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UUUOQ2PZs
She rushed over to her cage and immediately broke the lock and opened the door. Then she knelt by her.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG9AQdnQY3
"Elena?" she called softly.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClz70kngCY
She didn't answer.
Kat gently picked her up in her arms. She knew she was still alive, but was running out of precious time.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxV6mmRojS
She looked back at Stefan, once outside of Elena's cage.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1z2uAwWMy
"I'll be back for you."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrhAXxxDv8
Stefan watched, as Kat disappeared at vamp speed with Elena in her arms, so she could save Elena for once. At least, he hoped that's what she was going to do. He didn't want to lose Elena. He loved her too much.
Once outside in the front yard, she gently layed Elena down on the ground.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz0U0amT59
Kat looked up.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBuIyeQ6yY
"Matt!" she called to him.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nr3cYcPWp
He went over to them.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmFoVFxRlA
"You need to let her feed on you."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8QbV2YHyE
A few minutes later, Elena woke up as a vampire.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ98AYj5KR
Kat helped her sit up.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudiUpErDal
"How do you feel?" she questioned her descendant, as everyone went over to them.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarOBJiBDDK
"Better. Thanks," Elena said, even though she wasn't sure what she felt about being a vampire now.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvO0b9HNvZ
"Good. I'll be back."782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3hXv5dEqX
And with that, she vanished into the barn to go rescue Stefan and the other vampires that had been captured.
An hour later, the Pastor and the Council were in the Pastor's house. Pastor Young released the gas hose from the back of his stove.782Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAhjGQya96
