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.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPafTut0kV
"Katherine?" I question.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtbLwqJg8K
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0QczoMJjv
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.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGAWLXsN7m
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxxG0wnnFI
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaPUmFQ2Xa
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.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLrOJZp81k
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmdcghN3FI
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9CR20Wre9
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuzQtOrWsw
"Are they home?"568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUujCngcYs
"Yeah."568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ1gErajNi
"I'll be there soon."568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiaZBWNJiR
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.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdWWCHlkJg
"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.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5n2HLTHGo
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.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkNGe1zCfp
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3cxVMRs6k
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.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC51Aky3Abl
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat

568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB7w5Xqe7V
I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBzrWrpJH4
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqSSkQ8KvV
"You're welcome."568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2po4Ir3sb
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6P3i8SDiY
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZIxqU7wkr
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfr6Y86JF9
"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.
