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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySYNMfCDDg
"Katherine?" I question.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5kUpdg2lu
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXRbys0b48
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB5vFHZGzv
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV5NeYyf5K
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvJsx3huNn
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvALIvgxbL5
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0fZbewT1K
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphl44qJJxQ
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7ax7fl3sj
"Are they home?"658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITlQ9gGgKi
"Yeah."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoSXfWew3b
"I'll be there soon."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8gCsqfBVh
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsxmla35uK
"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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwKeQnJH7w
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4zB3yKQDc
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohzcilJznw
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCrCASeuUm
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat

658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblqeotRbAx
I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkgtG13vvp
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCKyY2LrxI
"You're welcome."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmytMexfab
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZpkfhHJsC
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObm4z7gZpO
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gLKHJp3J0
"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.
