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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAJxWOE1I9
"Katherine?" I question.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSuPsEpw13
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDdf95kjSR
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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lYRDkv0Ba
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiBRJcX7nH
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwD0y0RYTZ
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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCAAcoD9MD
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth4Ve1gYJa
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJVoenP5A9
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32AtIXvQhV
"Are they home?"569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yHp2XRcmf
"Yeah."569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAMCFgxjAs
"I'll be there soon."569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm9ukwY8bj
We hang up.
Kat

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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJZe8tgLjU
"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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfvEds25oB
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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7SEpYuta0
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BcMdoy0if
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.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgypHgkrbUQ
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat

569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrWaIVJeDH
I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFGfiwXcoF
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHWSTRtmD4
"You're welcome."569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8gHz3Vlym
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuOYY4fWaX
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vfQVszv9e
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.569Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSgr1lWlCN
"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.
