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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbWIMiszgA
"Katherine?" I question.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk8LgFV8dW
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCR8ZhSHWQ
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIB46i9nRQ
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CEcv00WSD
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmGjKPAAbL
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjlAs9hVKd
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaHRPGtVlm
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl9Fys489D
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglB1jhF3Ra
"Are they home?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvqu4qKdQk
"Yeah."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFJxKK8a02
"I'll be there soon."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX3XFz1bv9
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOSOYvp1z9
"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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15N1ZfnDXU
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz5o5XWj07
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP8qRuBv6a
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy4r1pDrKr
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat

779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnaIV1qvYl
I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY5g4sZISS
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvGnRK9eDl
"You're welcome."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hqKR9sKd6
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNqShP2Xmc
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjpRNhaD3F
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWZjajY4oF
"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.
