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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWQWprk2IQ
I roll up my right sleeve and bite my wrist, as he starts to lose consciousness. I then put it to his lips.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduWKie6S8P
"Drink, Alaric," I instruct.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqD2suqIRG
I'm very relieved when he does.
Ten minutes later, I pull my wrist away and it heals, as does his wounds.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCNa9VSGMs
He looks at me.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjKrRduwVA
"Thank you."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aRkO1WuO1
"You're welcome."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ277vynnCAG
I help him to his feet.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6BwcjNqso
"Let's find your ring, Alaric."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5t5vcNcAT
"Well said. And clean this mess up before Elena and Jeremy get home," he adds.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDEIsC4Imm
It isn't long before I find his ring, it's on his finger, and the kitchen is cleaned up.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zuWfXdqnk
I look at him.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gmsN01wNR
"So, what happened?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EKngjkGMj
"A vampire attack."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AQTPv7NEE
"Who was it?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNQQoLAW2M
"I don't know. It depends if you know anyone by the name of Logan."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y3OFE8DI4
I tense.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9XcSkRvVp
"Katherine?"570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrHIc834Ru
"Alaric, where's Elena? She could be in danger."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YiWlke4LV
"What do you mean? Slow down and explain, Katherine."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CNTtXoeMZ
"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."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdYIa4nh2C
"So you think he would go after Elena?"
"Yeah; she was Elena's aunt, after all."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgFG5T5KXX
"Then let's go."570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaq9NfzWrT
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.
