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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25urPJhgPN
"Katherine?" I question.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEuhMCa3ys
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2RKvzBYUl
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1c03GRcEU
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj6KHmPSSz
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrngipjxbZ
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WEdtYJ3Ow
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOv2LcHZAL
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOTlj5Q4o0
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b7nLsrOQD
"Are they home?"631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTMsqWTYLT
"Yeah."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9luwssXJf
"I'll be there soon."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb091rQ5LYe
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4XIOJow2a
"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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt59ykDogs0
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY04oTpT1Aj
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy9BdqtxAO
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.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48JpYNQZPI
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat

I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFZHZIgM1x
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZIruD4DQd
"You're welcome."631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF0VSRatF4
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuazGIlY58
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HzxcuIte5
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA8nQgfTKF
"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.
