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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mUkn4iK9V
"Katherine?" I question.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAZKgDG8gf
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnjZo5dJrH
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7N5DZ4i8y
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3XE3gXmQa
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0MmQTwfr1
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxuBxa1ZXP
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQpjrmQTV5
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu16gik0Qd2
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CJ5Uas9eL
"Are they home?"621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgRY0RMqyt
"Yeah."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtetWc5bKsN
"I'll be there soon."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB1nUiLSt5
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlaT2bKPjo
"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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI07O9kExiM
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kpdAxfqJa
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNBQ4zO1QJ
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4tKNQJPp3
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisEMAUILmx
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum2b2cJhz2
"You're welcome."621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJCrEZYsOQ
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw2fsj8VJH
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTwr6EeE4T
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0lWW9DhpC
"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.
