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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSulctfaZs
"Katherine?" I question.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KjjDpwIaW
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o3J8EW1Pj
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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj5p4W4jBg
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fFwPmEiOS
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWtFehNwwh
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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEXrZmjfGH
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciVFmOpljC
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnApzQ5vZL
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4uocxTXLY
"Are they home?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdHQYw3kLC
"Yeah."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxNbrqd2nd
"I'll be there soon."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2ivW14FtN
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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPioNbUQw2O
"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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Qiw6JZPl
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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBlUIoiz43
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw6SSEdOyy
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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgSpctot6h
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat
589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRS1OT01OB
589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lfxudWb8S
I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7PN0xz0mR
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXCRGvNRXB
"You're welcome."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Q5JjdJGF
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosC3SFKqRj
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCKSxOqsHW
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFfQbEJv1Z
"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.
