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.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAqEddGyMm
"Katherine?" I question.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthT03kq0Kf
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvwjoAjAMg
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.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNzHX1pL15
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHLIeSHaUz
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h4uGPAVCk
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.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrp6CPkaTB
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlRlZHsmKm
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aq2pCrMZt
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHIOVecj08
"Are they home?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugbL4gdqf5
"Yeah."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NiVuRejUA
"I'll be there soon."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6JvFkaJyW
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.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59j779uVfp
"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.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfXH42tA0o
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.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLkfqzXdn9
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxEW1hXUAS
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.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD9KKKWOSz
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat

597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr5DotJBj5
I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qOr6xzQm7
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCMsgcOipf
"You're welcome."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozQlnjnSkz
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdeBkWeLyo
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8CHg5ORRv
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s5mZYoKpD
"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.
