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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5YaynV4In
"Katherine?" I question.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0RQVL7Lh7
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIuOMpWMu6
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLNkXpuzeQ
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ719T3bG0xk
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBSHteTyLa
I look down at her.

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKoM8CdmYS
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzPQbT4Och
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe9cNcDePm
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2AQz7E4bw
"Are they home?"612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBd69kqh20
"Yeah."612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P1MGzaaNb
"I'll be there soon."612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0VcCHez1u
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZBgjusDIf
"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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozki8DNUt0
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyGmwkNz3X
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ8xvoa7fc
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOdsn5BLB9
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aVyBTv1Gr
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEkVEDwegy
"You're welcome."612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSQwaYAzDY
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy844Sx782
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1tf7huD0b
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wg2d1190p
"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.
