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. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6X6lOoIP3
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. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gUpTjrsu7
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. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibfcVYFliE
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. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tCA9rSkOV
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."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaqRd4qaTK
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ue6gMkKnb
She gave him a weak smile. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI4cGCBC3A
He smiled back. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAypv6z6PG
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvltGChta7O
"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. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO3E4E9Lv3
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgntHyZYX1Z
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleaucWt2Rt
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R0cm802Cj
"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. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw1ikJ1IBf

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.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAuplyse8u
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfeWtrtkDG
"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. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7SSncdIc5
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxpLTbWUdn

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.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx6IUNaMfp
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfjnPKYD7A
She smiled. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD3imib0SI
"Hey."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfK6qSeHmU
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x5oTXFKYm
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MA58wpa0C
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU1WmmDoKi
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.
