Summary: Set in S4 "American Gothic." What if Damon in danger caused Elena to turn her humanity back on? What if Rebekah hadn't tagged along? What if Elena took the cure? What will happen?692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsRpLOIAKY
A/N: For those of you that haven't read the Stefan Diaries of the book series, Jack is an enemy and he called himself Jack the Ripper back in the day.
It was a dark night as Elena fed from a girl and, unbeknownst to her, Damon had disappeared out of the club.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNv10LzlGt
As he walked down the sidewalk four blocks away from the club, he glanced at the paper in his hand that had Will's address on it.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyNXGxU4BI
Seven blocks away from the club, he was grabbed and he dropped the paper. His attacker pulled him into a dark alley and pinned him against a wall with a hand tightly around his throat.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDZIMwcGNN
"Jack," he said, recognizing the vampire.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzV2mgigUv
"Damon," he greeted and then added, "It's time. Any last words?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFhMhNfLnz
"Go to hell," Damon answered.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z962eG5MJ
Jack smiled wickedly.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9mmz5Dlt0
The Salvatore brother knew what was coming. He would die tonight. Jack had told him a long time ago that the next time he saw him, he would kill him. It was ironic to him that they had faced off in New York and now they were both in New York again.
Elena exited the club in search of Damon and felt pain in her chest, but didn't understand why. She wasn't hurt and her Sire bond with Damon wasn't in effect with her humanity turned off. At least, she didn't think so. Now she was getting feelings, though. She felt now that she had to save him; even if he was an ass at times.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItjpFQZQ59
When she saw the piece of paper, she picked it up and put it in her pocket. Then she smelled Damon's scent from an alley. She turned to face the alley and walked into it. That's when she saw a vampire standing over someone. Damon Salvatore. She thought she didn't have feelings for anyone, but she apparently did.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuH33qNoN1
At vamp speed, she grabbed and pinned the vampire against a wall with anger and growled at him. Knowing Damon needed help and she couldn't waste time questioning the vampire though, she snapped his neck and was instantly at Damon's side on her knees.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl7zNqIi6A
She pulled the stake out of his chest, which had missed his heart. She then set it on the ground and bit her wrist. She put it to his lips, making her blood go down his throat. As she heard the vampire wake up, she smelled another scent too.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrA1NTk2d0
Once Jack was on his feet and saw the girl, he realized they were either friends or together. Then, before he could go anywhere, the girl's identical twin pinned him against the wall with a hand around his throat. She was clearly angry.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUkzGUt7r5
"Who the hell are you and what do you think gives you the right to try and kill Damon!?" she growled.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5XPO2hAwj
"Jack. We have history. I vowed to kill him a couple centuries ago," he answered her calmly.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkCPwYgQo9
She broke his right arm with her free hand and he cried out in agony.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSrLeJ1oMq
"I'm Katherine, Jack. You are Jack the Ripper from the 1950's. Good-bye, Jack," she replied, before she staked him, which killed him.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw2HJS2ZnH
Katherine Pierce walked towards them, as Damon came to and Elena took her wrist away.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtkGgYWchM
Damon started to his feet and Elena helped him.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY23l6dUoR
"Thanks," he said. "You saved my life."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKYVee65P1
"You're welcome."
They turned around to see Katherine.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBi5BFRVgU
"I killed Jack. He won't be killing, or trying to kill you anymore."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jzMK0xmmr
"We've been looking for you," Damon replied.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa76Ogrd4v
"I know. You want the cure. I don't blame you guys. Elena never should have been a vampire. She needs to be human."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha1waQI5c8
She stood in front of them.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkO0yVm3NY
"Since when do you care about Elena?" he questioned.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ9iX3Aukl
"She is my family as much as you two are."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVn4WnC46k
She took out the box with the cure in it.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4r3cZ4TkW
"Take it," she said, and then handed it to Damon whom gladly took it. Then she left the alley.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfPu850RDc
He looked at Elena.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdI71S4Trd
"I know you say you don't want the cure, but that's not really you saying it. Deep down, you want it. You really do."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi2SyQY7nu
"I know. Give it to me. I'll take it."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Hhq3UviF
He gave it to her and she took it, which transformed her to being human again. Then they left the alley and went to his car to go back home to Mystic Falls.
As he drove, she looked silently out the window. He glanced at her as he drove.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif3H60L5we
"Are you going to be okay?" he asked her.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBI87K2DKm
"I lost my brother. What do you think, Damon?" she said softly, as she tried not to break down. "And not to mention, I burned down my family home and killed people and almost killed Caroline."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWarLuDcKX
"I can help you, Elena. Let me."692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFLogQmsCf
"Then help me," she replied.
