        As I lay on the hard ground, I hear Klaus' footsteps, as he walks away. Then he's gone. But the next thing I know, I hear someone racing towards me and I smell Alaric's scent.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiQMwM3fXx
        A few minutes later, as my vision blurs, I vaguely hear Alaric after I feel the dagger come out.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDiqEpv1rp
        "Katherine, hang in there. You're going to be okay."582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYy8xyydM
        I feel the stake come out, as I weaken.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpNdQVDEQX
        "You'll live," he assures me.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbHPGUsQY8
        He gently sits me up.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZQ2vqJEXu
        "Alaric," I greet.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5F2bByjbf
        I feel my wounds close up, but I'm still weak.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsqEv2juxx
        He helps me to my feet and I put a hand on his shoulder to keep from falling. I feel weak and light headed.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSqiQWKwMn
        "Katherine, look at me," he says gently.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUpjN6fqV7
        I do.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ThtFRRI45
        He gently puts hands on either side of my head. He then looks back at me.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P4dPelhOB
        "Focus, Katherine. Focus. Stay with me."582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETZNoYmW3F
        I can barely stand, as he tries to keep me awake. It's hard on my part. I'm starting to lose my senses. Usually, vervain doesn't make me feel this way. But I haven't had any for a month. My body isn't used to it anymore. I feel dizzy, unsteady, drained, and unfocused. All I want to do is close my eyes. I've been fighting one thing or another for 500 years. I'm tired of fighting.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR69lzu8Tc
        "Alaric, I-" I start.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyroyXBQrCF
        "Whatever you want to tell me, can probably wait until you're feeling better," he interrupts.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCKKYYOI0H
        "No. Alaric, I can't. I feel…" I try.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjJJav242q
        I feel like I should tell him how I'm feeling.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8LuCsn0QD
        "I don't feel well," I finally get out.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALgQvV6Fw3
        He lets go of me.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3eAQ9uNgs
        "I know. And I'm going to help you."582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a00QjjGvm
        A moment later, I collapse to the ground, but he catches me with a hand between my shoulderblades, another hand behind my head, holding me up, as I start to lose it. And then he gently picks me up in his arms. I wrap my arms gently around his neck, as he starts walking, resting my head on his shoulder.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PvqVtFVPL
        "Try to stay awake," he encourages me, as I try to fight, but I know I'm losing the fight.8964 copyright protection578ＰＥＮＡＮＡTphwcMP4bx 維尼
