It was a dark, rainy night, as Damon searched for Katherine. Because of the rain and wind, he couldn't use his vampire abilities to find her. He had to locate her, though. He didn't know how much longer she would last, and it was his fault she was out in this weather. He had broken his promise that he would protect her from Silas, when he had told Jeremy to go back to the boarding house. He knew she would run, but he didn't know it was going to be this bad. According to how much of her blood was at the car crash site, she was in terrible condition. She had definitely lost a lot of blood. She was a fighter and survivor, but could she fight for her life long enough for him to locate her, or would he be too late? She couldn't die. Not like this. Not when he was just seeing a glimpse of who she used to be; before anger, hatred, determination, and heartbreak had changed her into something she didn't deserve to be.

An hour later, in the middle of the woods, he saw her on her back on the ground.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjyKquWPo8
He was instantly knelt at her side, looking down at her, using his senses to assess her state. Now that he was beside her, he could use his abilities to take care of her.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWCxFFmmPy
As he looked down at her, there was blood everywhere and she was very pale with blue lips, eyes closed, head to the right, not breathing, heart not beating, soaked from the rain and cold to the touch. He assumed she had been like this for almost an hour, but he had to try.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BqTAyM39I
He bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her. Then, once her wounds were healed, he took his wrist away, which instantly healed. He then did heart compressions to try and revive her.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxisWyL6Bpt

Twenty minutes later, he heard her heart beating and breathing. She was still unconscious, though.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovtkINlEK9
He sighed in relief and pulled her gently into his arms.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcce7sFdsW0
"Let's get you out of here," he said, before getting to his feet with her in his arms and then vanishing.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25vJOgKtdX

Once he had layed her gently down on his bed and had put her in some dry clothes of hers, he sat on her bedside, hand in her left one, and waited for her to come to, looking down at her.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kkh1U1Xod

A few hours later, she started to come to, murmuring his name.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi69JaZp48V
"Katherine?" He called to her.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8f6HrV8UH
"Damon," she said softly.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUQLqJDJFW
"I'm right here," he assured his ex sire.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWDM7MW3kz
She opened her eyes and looked up at him.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT9JfXQpVM
He took his hand out of hers and rested it on the left side of her face, instead.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhyFTJVzlZ
"I am so sorry, Katherine."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRSUEBSiiA
"Why?" She questioned weakly. She was still recovering from her death and resurrection.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvN8kEbRHV
"Silas told me that he would tell me where Stefan is if I handed you over to him."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCw3s3qDnM
"Apology accepted," she weakly replied.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2P3srvkfw
"Sleep. Restore your strength. Sleep is the best thing for you right now."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zhlpxW420
"Stay with me?" She asked of him, not wanting to be alone after dying.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRGqJ1atFt
"Of course," he agreed.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqrJi5avts
They smiled at each other.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVVFuprhkm

The next day, she was back to her full strength and herself.
