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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6QoStGR3V
"Katherine?" I question.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH34OvAEr8
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pIsE78wor
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7ChBfX7oX
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaghpcESbK3
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECHpboAD7x
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXJ12BfaGl
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMLhKiwrO2
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZRWYIzy2O
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0RJxUsbEE
"Are they home?"608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqIKdEyMfr
"Yeah."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdynR1UfZX
"I'll be there soon."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxrZgNK4WL
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ptRxjxRLW
"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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzonV4suaus
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ04bSjIGfy
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqnGFkHRwF
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.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoXkSM3shx
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat

608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡach7ce12ox
I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZLh4GITCw
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBPtAdQLsz
"You're welcome."608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5NzhBEApJ
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVMsG7gs55
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjdyJ3uQCp
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.608Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fNDGxU5nt
"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.
