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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq6LDnJ9Um
"Katherine?" I question.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjplw4Z5ax
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yt7PzAIHo
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0HR4gUW60
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKqOmfT580
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaCxMMANCo
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsO4KpOOtS
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR1HtrPzMo
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB3UBO9qTA
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE7bgEIZCd
"Are they home?"663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQBEJzmW2Q
"Yeah."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnWEtFAmOi
"I'll be there soon."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJQ7hknb8F
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJRksegcDh
"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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguv1zr3liP
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx9Pi6JiYM
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOapqCvNMa
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL52xhLZ7H
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIqFctFUwg
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wViWZUYsA
"You're welcome."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Pe0RbUNn
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDJovInox7
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36MDVVyMbI
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUOILLsGX0
"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.
