He doesn't answer me, when I tell him what he needs. And I can hear his ragged breathing and slowing heart. He can barely breathe and I know this.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4nUycURug
I roll up my right sleeve and bite my wrist, as he starts to lose consciousness. I then put it to his lips.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV86jLtZPzz
"Drink, Alaric," I instruct.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32yfjqEb82
I'm very relieved when he does.
Ten minutes later, I pull my wrist away and it heals, as does his wounds.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW7RePh8EZ
He looks at me.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp6mxRy9lG
"Thank you."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEYlsjaF6o
"You're welcome."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAPX8Lse5H
I help him to his feet.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8sRnlUIXw
"Let's find your ring, Alaric."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m5Bsi8oe9
"Well said. And clean this mess up before Elena and Jeremy get home," he adds.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdxzgYee9q
It isn't long before I find his ring, it's on his finger, and the kitchen is cleaned up.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaZ0aCpBHN
I look at him.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM34kAEDu0T
"So, what happened?"516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFngM5stTrA
"A vampire attack."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RSHDIygnj
"Who was it?"516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pKZUIZgkD
"I don't know. It depends if you know anyone by the name of Logan."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv89u5PXM8M
I tense.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjYRBzHELy
"Katherine?"516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREXjmNwnjC
"Alaric, where's Elena? She could be in danger."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxcDSGyGil
"What do you mean? Slow down and explain, Katherine."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5MzwTF6ra
"Logan was Elena's Aunt Jenna's old boyfriend. Someone, I don't know who, must've turned him. He might be looking for Jenna. He might not know that she's dead."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0KNHhECby
"So you think he would go after Elena?"
"Yeah; she was Elena's aunt, after all."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC8BRIEEIU
"Then let's go."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQRDlD3fnb
We head out the back, closing the door behind us, walking side by side. And as we walk, I use my senses to guide me, searching for his scent and Elena's.
