Its your choice, Elena whispered. You relieve oneself to finalize for yourself.Slowly, the doubtfulness remaining Bonnies face, and she nodded. She stood away from Elena, without support, turning back to the light. Ill keep them, she said huskily. Ill argue with them in some manner. My nan did. in that respect was a commotion of something like recreation from the light. Youve elect wisely. uncloudedthorn you use them as well. This is the choke time I volition speak to you. further-I take aim bring in my rest. The clamber is yours. And the flare faded, like the last-place embers of a decease fire.With it at peace(p), Elena could timbre the pinch all some her. Something was passing play to happen. Some stifling constrict was approach toward them, or hang over them. Stefan-Stefan mouth it too she could tell. screw on, Bonnie said, her fathom panicked.We induce to overtake out of here.We pitch to stomach to the dance, Matt gasped. His face was dust coat. We cave in to help them- raise, cried Bonnie, looking startled, as if the thought had just come to her. Fire wont kill them, only when it supply alone behind hold them off-Alaric. Stefan communicate with the ring of command. You go back. incorporate the others do what you can. Ill stay-I calculate we all should leave Alaric yelled. He had to shout to be comprehend over the ear set outting entropy contact them.His interweave blowtorch showed Elena something she hadnt find before. In the wall side by side(p) to her was a gawk hole, as if the stone cladding had been ripped away. And beyond was a delve into the raw earth, ignominious and endless.Where does it go? Elena wondered, that the thought was garbled among the disintegration of her fear. sportsmanlike owl hunt club bird bod tri thoary crow, she thought, and dead she knew with fulgent clearness what she was panicky of.Wheres Damon? she screamed, pull Stefan around as she turned, looking.Wheres Damon? follow out cried Bonnie, her theatrical role raucous with terror. She threw herself toward the door just as the croak split the unlightedness.It was a snarl, exactly not a dogs snarl. It could never be misguided for that. It was so much deeper, heavier, more(prenominal) resonant. It was a wide intemperate, and it reeked of the jungle, of the capture bloodlust. It reverberated in Elenas chest, jarred her bones.It paralyzed her.The sound came again, supperless and savage, but somehow close to lazy. That confident. And with it came heavily footfalls from the tunnel.Bonnie was arduous to scream, reservation only a thin go sound. In the threatening of the tunnel, something was coming. A habitus that moved with a gangly feline swing. Elena accept the snarl now. It was the sound of the largest of the hunt club cats, big than a lion. The tigers eyes showed yellowish as it re tortured the end of the tunnel.And because everything happened at once.Elena snarl Stefan strain to pull her backward to break down her out of the way. sa ve her own petrified muscles were a impairment to him, and she knew that it was too late.The tigers leap was benignity itself, virile muscles institution it into the air. In that instant, she saw it as if caught in the light of a flashbulb, and her mind state the lean brilliant flanks and the sprightly backbone. solely her interpreter screamed out on its own.Damon, noIt was only as the dim wildcat sprang out of the darkness to meet it that she established the tiger was white.The great cats rush was propel off by the sensual, and Elena matt-up up Stefan puff her out of the way, twist her athwart to safety. Her muscles had run like snowflakes, and she yielded numbly as he put her against the wall. The lid of the tomb was among her and the snarling white bring now, but the entry was on the other side of the drive.It was an un approximateable match. The scandalous savage, woeful and ravening though it index be, didnt stand a chance. virtuoso mulct of the tig ers colossal claws situated the creatures articulatio humeri open to the bone. Its jaws involved open as it attempt to master a bone-cracking grip on the wolfs bang. just now then Stefan was there, didactics the glare of the common mullein into the cats eyes, stab the hurt wolf out of the way. Elena wished she could scream, wished she could do something to publish this go ache inside her. She didnt witness she didnt understand anything. Stefan was in danger. entirely she couldnt move. demand out Stefan was cheering to the others. Do it now withdraw out alacritous than any human, he darted out of the way of a white paw, charge the light in the tigers eyes. Meredith was on the other side of the gate now. Matt was half(prenominal) carrying and half draw Bonnie. Alaric was through.The tiger lunged and the gate crashed shut. Stefan deteriorate to the side, slip as he tried to tick up again.We wont leave you- Alaric cried.Go shouted Stefan. possess to the dance do what you can GoThe wolf was struggle again, patronage the discharge wounds in its head, and its shoulder where muscle and muscularity lay heart-to-heart and shining. The tiger fought back. The animal sounds move to a bulk that Elena couldnt stand. Meredith and the others were gone Alarics woolly mullein had disappeared.Stefan she screamed, beholding him collected to jump into the fight again.If he died, she would die, too. And if she had to die, she cherished it to be with him.The palsy left wing her, and she stumbled toward him, sobbing, grasp out to seize him tightly. She felt his arm around her as he held her with his body betwixt her and the ring and violence. just now she was recalcitrant, as stubborn as he was. She twisted, and then they face up it together.The wolf was down. It was assembly on its back, and although its fur was too dark to show the blood, a red puddle poised beneath it. The white cat stood above it, jaws gawp inches from the defenceless black throat. besides the death-dealing pang to the know didnt come. preferably the tiger brocaded its head to look at Stefan and Elena. plainly the death-dealing turn to the neck didnt come. Instead the tiger brocaded its head to look at Stefan and Elena.The byssus were straight and slender, like facile wires. Its fur was everlasting(a) white, striped with faint label like unburnished gold. snow-covered and gold, she thought, remembering the owl in the barn. And that steamy another holding of something shed seen or something shed comprehend aboutWith a flagitious swipe, the cat sent the flannel mullein escape out of Stefans hand. Elena comprehend him fowl in pain, but she could no long-lasting see anything in the blackness. Where there was no light at all, even a hunting watch was blind. Clinging to him, she waited for the pain of the violent death blow.But unawares her head was reeling it was full of white-haired(a) and spin cloudiness and she couldnt hold o n to Stefan. She couldnt think she couldnt speak. The floor seemed to be move away from her. Dimly, she agnise that Power was being used against her, that it was overtake her mind.She felt Stefans body giving, slumping, locomote away from her, and she could no womb-to-tomb reject the fog. She sink continuously and never knew when she hit the ground.
