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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16s7mecYts
"Katherine?" I question.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBajBGaqwGs
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLkzl8mF52
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBy17hfSeQ
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgZDmyCAxW
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C4ArZ4FF7
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU5zi0ixHp
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfofwGFe2OS
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp1vJbEm6l
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLYmMBjXzg
"Are they home?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHjkT0PIFQ
"Yeah."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzBfFMgqbC
"I'll be there soon."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EzEDpWlFJ
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lT0SZxJDK
"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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLTkScknjX
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy6xlSiCo9
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFf303af09
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFD1fE1DBf
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR6py6pXQh
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkhhfSOhV2
"You're welcome."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe17MjH7pPT
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8qcXHwrOt
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV7vCh9Qki
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvyRAJb8zF
"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.
