Ch.2: Back Again
Summary: Set after S6 events, so technically this is S7. Damon finds an injured Kat after she makes it out of the 1994 prison world without Kai. Will he save her, or will he let her die?
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, as Damon walked through the woods, bottle of Bourbon in hand, still trying to deal with Elena's absence. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjm5avsv82
Suddenly, as he began to pass the river, he saw a shape in it, so he went to investigate, only to see that it was someone he never wanted to see again. Wanting to know how and why she was human and back in Mystic Falls, he gently got her out of the river and gently layed her down on the grass by the river. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYbWelEz2y
He knelt beside her and looked down at her, asessing her condition, seeing that she was injured and quite pale from blood loss. As much of blood that she had lost and that covered her, he knew she hadn't done this to herself. It wasn't a trick of hers. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktdYmsEvXV
He carefully took her jacket off to tie around her middle where she was bleeding the most, trying to slow the bleeding. Then, realizing that she wasn't breathing, he sighed before bending down closer and kissing her, giving her some air. He then started doing heart compressions. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6pQoTX4Tp
No, no, no, he thought, but said instead, "Come on, Katherine; Breathe. You didn't make it this far just to die again, and I'm sure as hell not going to let you die. Now, breathe. I need you to breathe for me. Come back to me, Katherine. Now is not the time to give up or be stubborn."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MrRYJCK6v
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn95r2OG4S
She gave him a weak smile. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ363D6Np76f
He smiled back. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡombOjelk2K
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgZjEGIreY
"Thanks," she replied softly, as her vision began to fade, feeling weak and tired, knowing it was from loss of blood. She knew he'd get her taken care of, though. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexYCfLHHJi
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtO14VT6vj
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETKsGyKxet
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvTQV3ut18
"Alright; Let's get you out of here. Just stay with me," she heard him say, before she felt the wind, letting her know that he was using vamp speed to get her to the hospital. Then everything went black. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2GL1qniii

Half an hour later, Damon rushed into the Mystic Falls hospital with an almost lifeless former vampiress in his arms. Luckily, Meredith saw him and went to the hall to assist, where he began to lay her gently down on a hospital bed.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudgKtMsH0U
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cwwJb4CTG
"I found her in the river. All I can see is that someone did this to her," he informed her, once he had gently layed her down. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHhsIGUp9P
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Qvc7V5Fb

Several hours later, she lay in a hospital bed in a recovery room with Damon seated on her bedside, head bandaged from above her forehead and up, another on her thigh and stomach.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbWFHkW1Ng
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmd9tDKxhz
She smiled. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMtyMCswEd
"Hey."687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vzviYxmem
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx94WNNV8T
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SQXSgrFaj
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTPUfdkjMv
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.
