It's a dark night, as I stand in front of the door, ready to leave the Gilbert home to go spend time at the Grille. Before I can open it, a very hurt and pale Katherine opens the door.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CV6SWi9Tk
"Katherine?" I question.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHROcdSoNk8
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4hfJ6vutp
I pick her up and gently lay her down on the floor. She's half conscious, as I kneel down at her side after closing the door. I take my jacket off and gently lift her head, as I use my jacket as a pillow for her head. I gently lay her head down and look down at her. She's warm and sweating.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjBwVTQqAJ
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJr9twhhHf
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjG95KLB2C
I look down at her.
Jeremy

I'm in my room writing some thoughts down in a notebook, when I hear Alaric tell me to call Damon. Why me? Damon doesn't like me and I'm not a fan of him, either. Besides, Alaric can just let her die. She deserves it after everything she has done. But he wants me to, so I better.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGxcZkS6vS
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LgNfSuBEK
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ltygCbbhe
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXXOHfFqUC
"Are they home?"610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXjf0cbykP
"Yeah."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VvTzHBM4f
"I'll be there soon."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKekJl9q9h3
We hang up.

I try with all my might to stay conscious, as Alaric stays at my side with a worried look. But I know I'm losing, as he uses a dry hand towel to try and stop the bleeding. He's trying. I'll give him that.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGRm9U2fZj
"Everything will be okay. You'll live," he promises me.

I try to assure her that she'll live, but I don't know if she'll make it or not. Then her eyes close and her head rolls to the left.

As I approach the Gilbert home with a vial of Klaus' blood in my left hand, I can hear Kat's shallow and ragged breathing. She really is dying.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFb90gNWBi
When I walk inside, Ric looks up at me and I hand it to him. I hope he knows what he's doing. He wasn't there like Elena and Stefan were, when I almost died. He was too busy with his other duties. Hunting and then watching over Elena and little Gilbert.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSomJGbhqcH
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxNJX4B7rF
I walk out, closing the door behind myself.

I gently pull her into my arms, positioning her head gently back. After uncapping the vial, I put it to her lips, making Klaus' blood go down her throat.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCeM57MEox
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVNHJqUcXj
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA26mz69Lxq
"You're welcome."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpXCxE1Nkt
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSYNAwsVaM
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVhnJXQiv7
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEJL9iFKoK
"We're going to the Grille. Don't stay up too late!" he yells up the stairs at Jeremy. Then we leave to go to the Grille.
