Elena awoke feeling groggy and tired. She was tied up to a chair with a tube in her arm on one end, the other end In a container. Klaus was there leaning against the doorway and they were in his house.
"What are you doing?" she asked groggily.
"Draining you. You figured it out yourself. If you die, so does Alaric. How does it feel to be dying?"
"Please, don't."
"Just between us, who would you have chosen? Damon or Stefan? We both know you haven't chosen because you're afraid to destroy the balance between them."
"Go to hell."
"Almost there," he said, as if he hadn't heard those last words.
Tyler came in and saw what was happening. He then dropped the box he had been carrying.
"Elena?"
"Tyler," she said softly.
He walked over to them and then Klaus and Tyler started to have a physical fight. It was hybrid against Original hybrid.

Katherine was near Klaus' house on her way to Elena's after arriving back in Mystic Falls, when she smelled Elena's blood and her slowly fading scent.

When she saw her tied up with a tube that had blood coming out into a container, she knew her blood was being drained. She was instantly in front of her. She took everything off her and ripped the rope off her.
"Elena, can you hear me? It's me."
She didn't move.
Kat gently picked her up in her arms and ran at vamp speed towards Elena's place.
A few minutes later, she had her on the couch at the Gilbert home. She bit her wrist and put it to Elena's lips, making the blood go down her throat. As she was feeding her her blood, Jeremy came in from the kitchen.
Jeremy walked into the living room as she looked at him, still feeding his sister her blood.
"Fill me in. What's going on? Because Klaus almost killed her."
A moment later, Damon walked in, closing the door behind himself That's when he saw Kat feeding her her blood, which he knew meant that something had happened to her.
"Klaus?" Damon question.
"Yeah. What the hell did I miss?" she replied, arms crossed, wrist healed.
Just then, Elena came to and slowly sat up.
"Are you okay?" Kat asked.
"Yeah. Thanks."
Between the three of them, Kat got caught up on what she had missed and what was going on in the present. Kat then told the guys what had gone on with Elena; that Klaus had almost killed Elena.
Afterward, Kat looked at them.
"We can get Bonnie to stop Jeremy's heart which will help us kill Alaric. We just need her blood to bind you, your brother, and I together. Or, since Esther used Elena's blood to turn him, one of us can kill her then when he's dead, bring her back. Whichever you prefer. It's up to you."
"I agree with the first one," Damon said.
"I kind of figured you'd say that. Just in case something goes wrong, you and your brother, wherever he is, will be outside. I can't guarantee that he won't kill me. We'll be bound by Bonnie's blood, so if I touch him long enough, he'll die."
"Sounds good to me," Damon replied.
"What do I do?" Jeremy asked.
"You stay here. Don't do anything stupid. Elena, are you ready?" Kat asked.
"What am I going to do?" Elena asked.
"Call up Tyler and have him keep tabs on Klaus and Rebecca. Stay here and tell us if anything goes wrong.
So in the end, Katherine killed Alaric without having to have any assistance from anyone. Then she and Damon dumped his body over the Whickery bridge and went home. Jeremy survived, too. Now the only problem they had was figuring out how to kill Klaus.
