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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYc4TFFrle
She sat up.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6TzRlpY61
"You've been in and out for hours," Stefan said.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8pOwnY81T
"What happened? How did you save me?" she asked.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KvU458qN9
"He didn't," Damon told her.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTTyG5zSMu
"Wait. What?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfN7HKXozg
Stefan explained to her what Meredith had done.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLDUctR9Lb
"So what? Am I dead?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4YtnNuuh9
"You're in transition. You're not fully alive and you're not fully dead."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58IE9cjgUq
"No. I can't be."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUppGXba9y2
"I have Bonnie looking into it. She might be able to reverse it."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7fmo3UI6q
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOlJVqEk3T
Stefan came down the stairs just then and into the kitchen.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9huyZ1OAav
He watched his elder brother.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs3QuSo88s
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3B7wYFrwJ
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj70L3h8i9u
"Whatever. Always the hero," Damon commented, grabbing his glass from the counter and slowly sipping it.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdvkivtN7J
Stefan left the room, as Damon finished his drink.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKsvYxZYIT
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sDxwz0huD
Her younger brother, Jeremy, walked over to her from down the other end of the hallway.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk7hggBFLx
"Jer," she greeted.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRluGzlY6r
They hugged.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXy9tDht2E
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63pjPtuEaZ
Elena glanced over at the light bulb again, but turned back to face Jeremy again.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvQKaEGsXv
"I'm fine. I'm not Vicki."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNUpTw1ZbZ
"No, you're not. You're act like everything's okay so no one worries about you but you need help."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47R87u5u9T
Elena kept glancing at the light bulb.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuf5p2npLD
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoeC0dFWvJ
"Yeah, she said when I was shot, she made some plea to the witch spirit to bring me back and they listened.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pKfLxQMwk
"Yeah, but the consequences were horrible."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZtxDBLBpA
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBPa9Aicq5
"I hope so."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTopsWIdBnL
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSvaMsCdoX
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Klaus said.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XyonyIxPV
Bonnie turned around and saw Klaus in Tyler's body entering the cellar.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvpp9nbDrA
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuhZ7Kfps7
"Yes, when I assumed I'd be a pile of ash. But apparently, fate and oxygen intervened and there I am."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay175hhTVc
Klaus walked towards the coffin.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00ivWxxUGi
"Put me back."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgjFHkXmSr
"I can't right now."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WbbfIwa20
"Your history teacher outed Tyler and Caroline to the Council. They're on a war path and this body's vulnerable."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfdRBUNWdT
"I have to help Elena before she has to feed."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKu1Cmasrc
"Elena's dead and no longer my concern."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0G4H1Oc2u
"You're forgetting who just saved your life."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ6evIlB54
Klaus grabbed Bonnie by the throat.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Cg0S1Shi
"And you're forgetting that I could rip your tongue out. Now put me back."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjrTyepC3Q
"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?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkF6CHk2k5
Klaus released Bonnie.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnhzKOvSFC
Bonnie started to leave, but Klaus was instantly in front of her and blocked her way out.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB5EMcG1VX
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MuLcaV1nF
She stopped.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErfnAtixNm
"Pastor Young. To what do we owe the honor? And don't tell me it's your blood pressure again."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxLyrYsmjZ
"Honestly, I wish it were."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMRrQWUwIr
He turned to the deputies behind them.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTujuyM8MW
"Blood bank's in the basement. One of you sweep the rooms."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbTYfiSk9E
"Who gave you that authority?" Meredith questioned.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUUA1gOLX4
"The Council. They're entrusted me to secure the town and unlike some of our Founding Families, I don't have conflicting interests."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpTSiQAdBz
"What is that supposed to mean?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViKibJjLyf
"Alaric Saltzman told us everything, Meredith. Probably time to start looking for a new job."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbs9D8slQA
Pastor Young left Meredith there.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq3TyYF8P5
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHXn0EbB9B
"Can I help you?" Matt asked the officer.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Yc5KsMcg
"Sorry."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9zL5s9bkf
He got on his dispatch and said, "All good here."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjHkzwYFmX
He exited the room and closed the door.
An officer handcuffed Carol Lockwood at the Lockwood Mansion. Pastor Young stood nearby.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGZdrjSAEc
"What's going on?" she asked.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Tr6fg1IW
The officer started to lead Carol out of her house.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGhIKUYy6V
"We just need to ask you a few questions about your son."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplMcPWlDvY
"You can't arrest me! I'm the Mayor of this town!"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X3LGmpEEw
"Not anymore you're not."
Sheriff Forbes was walking to the police department when Pastor Young stopped her.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kzATP9wuz
"Sorry, Liz. You're not going to work today."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoJQN53cwp
"What are you talking about?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpzC7OKXNz
The deputies surrounded the two of them.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVEjhNUYHF
"They're taking your badge. You're not fit to protect us anymore."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5S2cEsyBm
"You have no idea what you're up against."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw3L3j6K16
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaOoP7Fb0f
"Where are you? And please tell me it's somewhere faraway," Liz told her daughter.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTdthnQsVc
"Where am I? Uh…good question. Uh…there's just a whole lot of boring highways. Why, is everything okay?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUJeIlKZWR
Suddenly, an officer snuck up behind her and stabbed her in the side of her neck with a syringe.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4xRJgDzEq
"Caroline, what's going on?" Liz asked.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFRn20hCOP
The phone hit the porch.
Elena and Stefan were in the kitchen.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJTO4ZXuNW
Elena took a bite of a sandwich.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE9Jixv6CJ
"It's disgusting," Stefan commented, watching her.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRFbVPx3Wo
"No it's, um…"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCRN8N8FAb
"It's disgusting," he repeated.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkd4NVqB7M
She spit it out onto a napkin.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFPAC43Ocm
"I never thought I would say this, but I can't stop thinking about blood."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEgLmEVybL
"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?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19n75wGnGf
Stefan poured himself a drink and took a sip.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMoxuDHDs1
Elena got up and walked over to him.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkaYbQInJe
"Stefan, listen to me. You did the right thing. You did what you always do. You respected my choice."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8torGPbfNS
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHZ2RILTDr
"Well, then we'll cross that bridge when we get there."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkruPJOmTdK
Suddenly, Elena started laughing.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiTTpAGblU
"Oh my God, did-did I just say "cross that bridge"?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWm6cA65k4
Elena started laughing maniacally.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Xh1vyGsQ
"You're laughing. I'm pretty sure you don't actually think that's funny."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wo6KqChEN
"I can't stop though," she said, continuing to laugh.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOUqsOxI9N
"Your emotions are a bit heightened today. A lot heightened."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMr9nXCMQ4
She continued laughing but then started to cry.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkJsn8RMw0
He hugged her.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1fC1yunbW
"Hey, shh, shh. It's okay. It's okay."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLdAXVmsUQ
"I'm sorry. I…"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslwx1ELscC
He pulled away and caressed her face.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOwqjdrGR3
"Listen to me. No matter what happens, I'm here for you. I can help you."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUADxcLDr0
Elena looked out the window and squinted her eyes due to the brightness of the sunlight.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8GtdUtYpH
"Why don't you go back upstairs where it's dark? I'll clean up."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqgdvriYxQ
Elena started to walk away and shielded her eyes from the sun.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY0zoGy8D8
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EGOYINqSa
"I'm tired, Damon."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HfAu7j91S
Damon got up and walked over to Elena, holding up her vervain necklace.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgPvb6Jh8O
"I brought you this."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBGGGAtgzG
"I thought it was gone. Thank you."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchJ5hDmtBY
Elena tried to take it from Damon, but he pulled it back.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsuOYmflNq
"Please give it back."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcaNJ2MB0z
"I just have to say something."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu55DI4FjX9
"Why do you have to say it with my necklace?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ853Q8w6oni
"Because what I'm about to say is probably the most selfish thing I've ever said in my life."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2fXpXbVpI
"Damon, don't go there."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O1CT7Dd9H
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dAMyDYjon
Damon kissed Elena on the forehead.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYb4CLuOZI
"God, I wish you didn't have to forget this. But you do."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPaMDRBtc0
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSbm9agqbP
Damon entered the room behind her.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzQuugil0n
"You should know better than to sneak up on a lady."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBulLEHbzRT
"Good advice. Have you seen one?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEow16l9mR5
Rebekah turned around to face him.
"Tragic about Elena. Not to make a grey cloud grayer, but does Matt even have automobile insurance?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pVu5hzSe1
Rebekah turned back around.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTQMgRPVOm
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkQ2k6ZmQb
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGpCC7MeHx
Suddenly, she heard a commotion downstairs and walked down the stairs.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmUHjMklp4
"Stefan?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxojQXwOX3
"Elena, don't move."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbxM7Mftou
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj7bQ3b0Yn
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1hvOsRl5A
"Vervain ropes. Looks like Alaric outed us all to the Council," she told the Original sister.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClQw3GEO5q
"The Council? What exactly do they think they can do to me?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7riJvLt8Qd
Suddenly, the wheels of the van started to screech. The van flipped over. Caroline and Rebekah went flying. The van landed on its side.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrHNMUpmyx
"What the hell happened?" Rebekah questioned.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf9ptBbeA3
Just then, someone opened the door. Someone unexpected.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ey8CCqtQw
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69VxPGZ6EO
"No time. Come on. Let's go," Katherine said, helping them both to their feet one by one.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBeZNNl5s7
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYoM2xJeG9
"They're gone. Whoever nailed Rebekah, took them too. Please tell me you have something. Anything," Damon said.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzADClA2cX
"I can't. The Council locked Carol and me out of our offices. Files, computers, everything," Liz answered him.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MQ0adD2TY
"So, the Mayor and the Sheriff never contemplated a backup plan, Liz?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqjyN2oQlI
"Damon, relax. When Caroline called to say she got away; did they know where they were planning to take her?" Meredith said.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLw3CHWM3y
"No. Just that she was in some van in the middle of nowhere and she managed to escape," Liz answered her.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON9feMrz8t
"Perfect. We've narrowed it down to nowhere," Damon implied.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoPz8OfA1U
Someone knocked on the front door and then Matt entered the house.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarkJVsTnlB
"Hey, is Elena here?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk8CzNNzMi
Damon turned around and rushed towards Matt. He grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the wall, choking him.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DthLwO4Jn
"In what world are you the one that gets to live?!"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3EeFdpFYf
Meredith tried to pull Damon off of him.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n6jEg880n
"Damon, stop! It wasn't his fault!" Meredith said.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczRNnoemhd
"Let him go, Damon! Now!" Liz said.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE1fPS2ZtI
Matt tried to pry Damon's arm off his throat.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVyOLQ853l
Damon finally released him.
Just then, someone unexpected arrived along with Rebekah and Caroline.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdSbr6LeOS
"Katherine," Damon said, looking at her.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA15g1dWl1K
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJoSeGeLm6
Liz and Caroline hugged.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrI9k40dll
Rebekah stood against a faraway wall.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh88PvS2ic
"Why would you go to such a length to help?" Damon inquired of his sire.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg47N7CaLg
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokaRRMKGUo
"Yes. And how are do you suppose we do that? We don't know where the hell to look."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRZzMNV5cb
"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."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WWiKMPJnj
She gave him a smile.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Vhch5jMV
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbx2taVdw8
"Where am I?" she questioned.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJuk4FVmHn
"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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUhA42kjyD
"Stefan."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCizf4g19E
Elena tried to pull herself up but was too weak to do so.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k9fPM9mEN
"I didn't feed."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT284MaPd3c
Stefan looked worried.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvqPb3BgCd
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.
763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4FftrFNgO
Back in the barn, things were turning to worst for Elena and Stefan felt helpless to help her at all this time.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ7GiFIY0r
"Elena? You still with me?" he called to her from where he sat against the wall that divided him from Elena.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzAezdqGGO
Elena sat on the other side of the wall. She was even paler and was breathing heavily.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzvonw45b0
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm here. I'm okay."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYyTyIObx6
"No, you're not. I can hear you breathing. Damon was right. You should have fed earlier. I'm so sorry."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBNbpHiZoG
"Don't be. You had hope. That's all I ever wanted you to have and you had it."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVBjgI5WSG
"I love you so much."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcfKq2tlXY
Stefan started to cry silent tears.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iTJrD9kTv
"I love you. No matter what happens, it's the best choice I ever made," Elena said.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoFMjN4iiv
She placed her hand against the wall dividing them.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhwmCbputf
"God. It sucks that I can't see you right now."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FtGKGVc7F
"I'm smiling."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M5BjivFmh
"Me too."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpqxxKCKsN
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzB9Vz3b3b
She walked in and scanned the place.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRHCWULDwh
Normally, she would've gotten Stefan out first, but seeing Elena, she knew she was the worst off.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7nSXEcIHD
She rushed over to her cage and immediately broke the lock and opened the door. Then she knelt by her.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ254M2hUfsA
"Elena?" she called softly.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFBCD3hqwX
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN1JY2qtzu
She looked back at Stefan, once outside of Elena's cage.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUmuRiiqJz
"I'll be back for you."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AmqG2nvPD
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk2gwGhIR6
Kat looked up.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXoJIJ63KX
"Matt!" she called to him.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFAqnOiKCI
He went over to them.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy49LUrq0X
"You need to let her feed on you."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKS74gBp64
A few minutes later, Elena woke up as a vampire.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAJJkBFQql
Kat helped her sit up.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbTYwdMYHi
"How do you feel?" she questioned her descendant, as everyone went over to them.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D28DI0nFm
"Better. Thanks," Elena said, even though she wasn't sure what she felt about being a vampire now.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiuqbQMRHC
"Good. I'll be back."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZE8fvv9aj
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.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJfXB9W5bT
"Folks, by now, you know that the vampires have escaped. And it won't be long before they retaliate against us. But fear not. For I have been chosen to lead us in a movement," he told them, as he locked the door.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzB5GbRYas
"What are you talking about?" one of the Council Members asked.
"Hear me, loved ones. Soon you'll be free to pass through the gates."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zib95qjxG

"Seriously, Pastor, what's going on here?" the council member tried again.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVLBCYFhQi
"Friends. We are the beginning," Pastor Young finished.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHshrmAnIq7
The Pastor lit the light and the Council members screamed with fear as the kitchen was set ablaze.
Damon and Elena sat on the porch at the Salvatore boarding house.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bXtVauclb

Finally, Elena spoke.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtqee3uN71
"Damon."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliKSlz2PUB
She looked at him.763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynHUQ6cimQ
He looked at her as he said, "Yeah?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLe7QycLsy
"I remember. Everything. Why didn't you tell me that it was you I meant first?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C36pN7Evx

"I guess you remember that I love you then, huh?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDX0qB3hV0
"Yes."763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjCapMWMgo
"Now that you remember everything, do you finally know what you feel for me?"763Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY95L299Nf
