AN: Sorry there was a mistake in my last chapter. It said Stefan's Point of View when it should have said Caroline. My apologies I don't know what was going through my head :P Thanks so much to Undying Love13 for the beautiful review. I'm so glad you were pumped for this. She absolutely loves vampires, so if you're into the other vamp shows, go check out her profile. She's written eleven stories for a few which include: Twilight, Vampire Diaries, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Vampire Diaries book series. Go check out her profile. Also, LauraSalvatore reviewed too. Thanks! And yes, yes she is. Delena4Nian50 once again reviewed. Thanks for your support! She has written 9 stories for Supernatural and Tangled which are both terrific shows/movies. Disclaimer: I think I spend more time thinking about disclaimers than I do the story plot… TVD isn't mine. The Salvatore brothers would have found a girl that deserved them if I did. Sorry, Elena.

Alaric's Point of View

"Damon!" Alaric gently shook the vampire. "Wake up!"

Nothing.

About five minutes ago, Damon had woken up and told Alaric that he felt dizzy. Without warning, he just passed out. He hadn't woken up since. Alaric had assumed that it could have been due to the fever but he couldn't be sure.

Alaric jumped with a start when his phone rang. He pulled it out and checked caller's ID: Bonnie. He opened it. "Bonnie?"

"Alaric Caroline and I are stuck," Bonnie said.

"Stuck where?" Alaric asked.

"Not physically," Bonnie said with a touch of irritation. "I mean we're getting nowhere with this. I've officially run out of ideas. I don't know how I ever expected to just find a vampire."

Alaric pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "I don't know, Bonnie. I really don't."

"Is everything okay, there?" Bonnie asked. "Something seems off. I'm a witch I can sense these things."

"Damon is completely out. I can't wake him up. Not really sure where to go from here. I don't know if it's because of the fever or if we're just running out of time." Alaric waited for a response but there was none. Instead he heard Caroline's voice, but couldn't make out what she was saying. He then heard a sharp, "we can't do that, Caroline," from Bonnie.

"Bonnie?" Alaric asked.

A distressed and agitated voice answered him. "She wants to turn someone."

Alaric thought about it. Could he live with doing this to someone? Could he destroy another life to save his friend? I wouldn't be destroying it, Alaric reminded himself. I would be taking it. He closed his eyes for a moment before opening them and focusing them on Damon's unconscious body.

Damon's Point of View

Damon sat up and blinked. His eyes weren't quite used to the light. How long have I been out? When his eyes finally became more focused, his heart dropped. He wasn't in the living room. He wasn't even in the Salvatore Boarding House. "What the hell…" he muttered to himself.

"You're pathetic!"

The accent filled voice was recognizable anywhere. Klaus! What am I doing with Klaus? Did I get kidnapped again?

"Wanting to save my family is pathetic?" It was an even more familiar voice. His own brother's. "I guess to you it is because every time you fight with any of your family members, someone ends up with a dagger in their heart."

Damon stood up hesitantly, surprised he could. In fact, he felt strong. He felt absolutely normal as if he had never gotten bit by Tyler or kidnapped by Klaus a first time. He turned around and was just ten feet away from Klaus and Stefan. The room they were in was small, but they still had space.

Klaus laughed. "Like you and Damon haven't ever tried to kill each other."

"That's none of your business," Stefan said, his voice dangerous.

Damon stood there confused. They obviously haven't noticed him yet, and if they did, they didn't care.

Klaus pulled out a stake. "Everything that goes on in your life is now my business." He raised the stake.

"STEFAN!" Damon yelled. But no one showed any reaction to his yells. Klaus just jammed the stake into Stefan's side, making his double-over. Seeing what was going to happen, Damon used his vampire speed to reach his brother before he fell to the ground, but even though Damon's arms were right there, Stefan's back still hit the floor.

"Told you," Klaus laughed. "Pathetic!"

Damon was too shocked to pay attention to Klaus or to his bleeding brother. Stefan had just gone straight through him! Shaking his head Damon backed away. "What the..." He walked over to where Stefan was lying on the ground and looked him straight into his eyes. Stefan's head was turned toward Damon, but his eyes seemed as though he were…looking through him. As if he weren't even there.

"Stefan!" Damon yelled only to receive no answer. He touched his brother's arm, except his own hand just went straight through it. Damon's eyes widened and he backed away, staggering in complete confusion and shock.

Am I dead?

Alaric's Point of View

"I don't know what to say," he said into the phone.

"It's your choice to make," Bonnie said. "I'd rather not be responsible for someone dying."

Alaric hadn't taken his eyes off Damon. "To take another life away…"

"Is completely awful," Bonnie finished. "None of us need an innocent human's death on our hands. Damon's lived his life. Perhaps it's time he moved on."

"Do you really think Elena could take that, though?" Alaric asked her. "Stefan and Damon?"

"Maybe it's for the best," Bonnie said. "Is it necessarily a bad thing that if Stefan and Damon are gone, all vampires will be out of her life?"

"Hey, what am I?" Alaric heard Caroline's offended tone in the background. "Garbage?"

"Okay, besides you," Bonnie said. "But honestly, you're not much of a vampire."

"I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult-"

"Can we focus here?" Alaric asked, interrupting the two bickering girls. "We are running out of time."

"Well you still haven't given us an answer," Bonnie said defensively.

Alaric swallowed and looked at Damon again. Then his gaze went to the stairs. He thought about Elena and Stefan.

"Alright," Alaric said. "We do it."
