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.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xJHn4Gbyc
I roll up my right sleeve and bite my wrist, as he starts to lose consciousness. I then put it to his lips.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZKeyLbNUJ
"Drink, Alaric," I instruct.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclOZZQQW90
I'm very relieved when he does.
Ten minutes later, I pull my wrist away and it heals, as does his wounds.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvMbRGgzZX
He looks at me.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Qz4Q3QV2
"Thank you."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXvs5HKf1x
"You're welcome."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMh3F2hy4i
I help him to his feet.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhSwtW5Wky
"Let's find your ring, Alaric."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rj9beLl21
"Well said. And clean this mess up before Elena and Jeremy get home," he adds.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgiWxHPtIz
It isn't long before I find his ring, it's on his finger, and the kitchen is cleaned up.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsxAeyrSOK
I look at him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjPJQBNlNM
"So, what happened?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDNfSw9U18
"A vampire attack."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCwL542SC2
"Who was it?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h3gAl5KkG
"I don't know. It depends if you know anyone by the name of Logan."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MIJWLz6Jm
I tense.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboW6kYtZT9
"Katherine?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjMFU1xauO
"Alaric, where's Elena? She could be in danger."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJr6ZGGK9K
"What do you mean? Slow down and explain, Katherine."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6xAPYKQAe
"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."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneKpNXsnxA
"So you think he would go after Elena?"
"Yeah; she was Elena's aunt, after all."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50jOyYzzF9
"Then let's go."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfpHycBUIQ
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.
