Kalaric
Alaric Saltzman

It's a dark night. I'm walking through Mystic Falls in search of vampires to kill. As usual. After all, my name isn't Alaric Saltzman the Vampire Hunter for nothing. I do this every night when I'm not busy helping my friend Damon, or taking care of Elena Gilbert and her brother Jeremy Gilbert. To top it off, I'm also the Mystic High History teacher.
I'm in an abandoned part of town, when an old vampire enemy of mine comes out of an alley.
"Alaric," the vampire greets.
"Judas," I greet back, but it's not really a greeting. Judas the Bloody is my vampire enemy.
He's instantly in front of me and grabs hold of my throat. Then he has me up against an alley wall.
I gasp from the tight hold and try to get his hand off my throat. But he's a vampire. He's too strong. He wants me dead, as I do him. And as he vamps out, I know he's going to kill me tonight.
"Good-bye, Alaric Saltzman," he says, before lowering his head and biting into the side of my neck.
As he continues to feed on me for what feels like twenty minutes, I feel weak and I start to lose my vision. And a few minutes later, I feel myself start to sag to the ground. Then everything goes black.

Katherine Pierce

I'm taking a walk when I smell blood a mile away. So I follow the scent trail.
It isn't long before I find whom it belongs to. Alaric Saltzman. From a distance away, I see a vampire feeding on him. And from where I stand, I can hear the slow rhythm of his heart and shallow breathing. As he lies on his back, eyes closed, having pale skin, looking limp, head rolled to the left, I know he's dying.
I know I have to do something. I don't know if he has his ring on or not. I can't tell. The vampire is in the way. I can't let him die. Plus, like Elena and Damon, I care about him. So I do the one thing I can do. At vampire speed, I throw him off of Alaric, making him hit a wall. I don't have a stake with me, so I kneel down by Alaric and search for a stake. I find one in his jacket and pin the vamp to the wall with a hand around his throat. In the next instant, I stake him in the heart and he fall to the ground with cracked skin, as he dies.
I rush over and kneel at his side. As I do, I can hear that his breathing has stopped. I look down at his hand where his ring should be. It's not there. It must've fallen off.
"Don't die. Don't you dare die, Alaric."
I put my lips to his a few times, breathing in to him, trying to get him breathing again. It works after ten minutes.
I see his ring by a wall and pick it up, going to kneel at his side again. I take his hand and lift it, putting his ring on where it usually is. Then I set it gently back down at his side.
I gently pull him into my arms and position his head back, biting my wrist and putting it to his lips, making it go down his throat to heal him.
When his bite is healed, I take my wrist away and it instantly heals. I gently lay him back down and rest a gentle hand on the side of his face. His heart and breathing are normal again, as well as the color of his skin.
I wait for him to come to.
A few minutes later, he does and sees me.

"I saved your life," I inform him. "And killed that vampire."
I gently help him to his feet, as he gets up. He's still eternally healing. I have to help him get to Elena's before I can leave him.
With an arm around him, I help him get home to the Gilbert home.

Once he's on the couch, he looks at me.
"Thanks. I might owe you in the future."
"You're welcome."
I walk out the door, closing it behind me. Now I'm heading to the boarding house to get some rest.
