Hi
Hi. [Pause] What happened? Why am I here right now?
I don't know about Bonnie, but Damon...Damon wanted to sacrifice everything to save you, to save this town. He was ready. I'm human now. He compelled me to leave. But he should have known better. I would never walk a day on this Earth as a human without taking vervain.[Flashback shows Stefan removing blood from his arm with a syringe]
I don't understand.
[Flashback of Damon and Katherine standing in the tunnel, Damon holding the bone dagger to her chest]
Not long now, demon spawn. I can hear that fire coming back this way.
[Struggling against Damon] You love this, don't you?
You have no idea.
[Stefan stabs Damon in neck with syringe. Damon grunts in surprise and stares at Stefan]
I gave him my blood. The cure.
You what?
[Flashback showing Stefan shoving Damon safely into the room off the tunnel] Without the cure, I'd start to age. I'd be dead soon enough.
So Damon's okay?
He's okay.
[Gives a sob of relief, then realizes...] But...you, you're...
I did what I had to do.
[Flashback shows Stefan grabbing Katherine and the bone dagger. The roar of the hellfire can be heard returning]
No! No...Stefan, please...
Burn in hell. [Stabs Katherine with bone dagger. He looks over at Damon] Good-bye, brother.
No, Stefan.
Tonight I saw a side of Damon that I hadn't seen in a while. The older brother I looked up to. The son who enlisted in the Civil War to please his father. The Damon I knew when I was a boy. I wanted that Damon to live. And I wanted you to have an opportunity to get to know him. He's the better man. He's the right man. It's good to see you, Elena. One last time.
