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.643Please respect copyright.PENANA2Iqqja1GIz
"Katherine?" I question.643Please respect copyright.PENANAnaRdnCBQN5
"Hybrid," she says before she collapses outside on the porch on her back.643Please respect copyright.PENANAtyjc1lA8mF
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.643Please respect copyright.PENANA2vlWlZD8Eh
"Hang in there, Katherine," I say.643Please respect copyright.PENANAd8T5A0F3Yh
I look up at the stairs and then say, "Jeremy, call Damon! Katherine's been bitten! She's dying!"643Please respect copyright.PENANAzn24mkwa69
I look down at her.
Jeremy

643Please respect copyright.PENANAdJH3alPMFW
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.643Please respect copyright.PENANAYtwNoRaaGK
I take my cell out and dial his cell number.
"Damon," I greet.643Please respect copyright.PENANAuor5W1J49e
"Little Gilbert. This better be important," he greets.643Please respect copyright.PENANA4wvqM3bvoc
"Alaric says Katherine's dying. She was bitten. She needs the cure; like I really care."643Please respect copyright.PENANABBuZZK1RVn
"Are they home?"643Please respect copyright.PENANAtXWsswJjoT
"Yeah."643Please respect copyright.PENANAQiSaYtbNtq
"I'll be there soon."643Please respect copyright.PENANAVZHBOWy2gI
We hang up.
Kat

643Please respect copyright.PENANABMEGrm9oK8
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.643Please respect copyright.PENANABKUoMJ5G8A
"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.643Please respect copyright.PENANAwwMuZNsQv1
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.643Please respect copyright.PENANA4JxMTD9mJz
"Thanks. I'll take care of her," he tells me.643Please respect copyright.PENANAl2NpcKlRgv
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.643Please respect copyright.PENANAk0mouadHR1
A few minutes later, I put the cap back on and gently lay her back down.
Kat
643Please respect copyright.PENANANZDhLZcoIu
643Please respect copyright.PENANAmCNN1nlkVV
I don't know how long I was out, but when I come to, I feel better. Alaric must've gotten me the cure.643Please respect copyright.PENANAxocOjiNLvg
"Thanks," I say, looking up at him.643Please respect copyright.PENANANTmYJGa9bV
"You're welcome."643Please respect copyright.PENANACDqAGCgJUg
He helps me to my feet and takes his jacket from the floor.643Please respect copyright.PENANAwLYFE7qvaw
"I was going to go to the Grille. How about you? Would you care to join me?" he invites.643Please respect copyright.PENANAFuyFUeIIep
"I'll consider it a gift. I would love to," I reply.643Please respect copyright.PENANANWcoDR08im
"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.
