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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWatCxXAJx2
"Katherine?" I question.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA3jrLhmVo
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W1eoQU2jF
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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEa09BoipB
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2tArtQXI2
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA4B5WjVWl
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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29eJuc6YM0
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5wRSv0ZoP
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCoCaDiJ6h
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwJ90mtEAR
"Are they home?"639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjuQklRMGt
"Yeah."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR8RySMmQn
"I'll be there soon."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfRHjkPvCG
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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hMgNLBYPE
"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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WVwEazGEX
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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxXgSVJLsV
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcqvOtsBRO
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.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHLPVGUomM
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat

639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkI14AFlpK
I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCm6PrQITE
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLZTQGHH8u
"You're welcome."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT6d7Goo3q
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObq9PnBVt8
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf5sumYZme
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bNzvU6pMv
"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.
