It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, as Damon walked, looking at chaos. An earthquake had just happened. Then, seeing a hold with wood around and in it, he stopped. He was silent for a few minutes, seeing a very human Katherine down there. He could smell blood and see an arrow in her, which looked a lot like Kai’s handiwork. He just stood there, debating on whether to save her or not until, finally, deciding to go down there to save her.560Please respect copyright.PENANAwpQTJ2QKhk
He slide down the muddy bank to kneel at her side, where he saw the extent of her injures. There was blood on either side of her head and some wounds that looked like stab wounds. There was a knife in her thigh and there was a lot of blood. She had definitely lost a lot of blood.560Please respect copyright.PENANA2SVLo6IL2G
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head.560Please respect copyright.PENANAzpgvuHhBly
“Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes.”560Please respect copyright.PENANAQPxLT2duh8
After a few moments of nothing, he sighed and then pulled the arrow and knife out, before tossing them aside. He then gently slid an arm under her head and another under her legs, pulling her gently into his arms and getting to his feet, before heading up the bank to get her out. He couldn’t save her while in the hole.560Please respect copyright.PENANABeP9KKRv4V
A few minutes later, after getting out of the hole, he gently layed her down on her back on the ground, as it began to rain. He then gently took her jacket off and used it to tie around her thigh wound, realizing the knife had opened an artery. Then, not hearing anything from her, he bent down and kissed her, giving her some air.560Please respect copyright.PENANA2ge7a4b3D6
“Come on, Katherine; Breathe. Breathe for me,” he said, after ten minutes of trying to revive her and not hearing anything from her.560Please respect copyright.PENANA8hrvJ5aW9r
A few minutes later, he sighed in relief after stopping, as she coughed, revived.560Please respect copyright.PENANAYPAN9xDsp1
“Good girl,” he commented.560Please respect copyright.PENANAp7ykucg3Vh
“Damon?” she almost whispered from blood loss, hearing him, but unable to see him.560Please respect copyright.PENANAvMcGlA8SKf
“It’s me,” he assured her. “What happened?”560Please respect copyright.PENANAlZAyjYx6ta
“Kai. After what he did, I’m blind.”560Please respect copyright.PENANAtXUU8XjkT5
“Don’t worry. He’s dead. I killed him a few months ago. He can’t hurt you anymore.”560Please respect copyright.PENANAHOOLZrPZK2
He put her arm around his shoulders and gently pulled her into his arms.560Please respect copyright.PENANA3QLNMK9xoX
“Thanks,” she said.560Please respect copyright.PENANAIPF54HoNrY
He got to his feet with her in his arms and began to blur home, knowing that she had lost a lot of blood. He couldn’t waste time. Her life was on the line.560Please respect copyright.PENANAdghDLyfCUV

What felt like a few minutes later, she felt him lay her down on what felt like a bed. She felt tired though. She knew she had to stay awake, but that was easier said than done. She was losing the fight.560Please respect copyright.PENANAG8DoeAdEp5

Thirty minutes later, he had finished tending to her wounds. She was still tired from blood loss, though. Through the blindness and blood loss though, she was still able to feel him rest a gentle hand on her forehead.560Please respect copyright.PENANAYAri4SU781
“Don’t worry. You’ll feel better soon. Besides, you’re safe here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”560Please respect copyright.PENANAC9VLINwOoY
She smiled.560Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6Iy5IFd6l
“Thanks.”560Please respect copyright.PENANAoK8Bn6CuSI
He knew she couldn’t see him, but he smiled anyway.560Please respect copyright.PENANAe7KDHIQeMu
“Get some rest. You need it.”560Please respect copyright.PENANAGnrS44nKeg
He took his hand away and then left.560Please respect copyright.PENANALQLlENjQr0

The next day, when she came down the stairs and to the living room, she used her memory to guide her and tell her where everything was.560Please respect copyright.PENANALvz1YKjU7E
“Sleeping beauty awakens,” he greeted with a smile.560Please respect copyright.PENANAYb2YaNGPtl
She went to sit on the couch.560Please respect copyright.PENANAfXgwX4QIsz
“So, what are we going to do now?” she asked him.560Please respect copyright.PENANAFz9l6vyX2f
“Just take it one day at a time,” he replied, sitting next to her.560Please respect copyright.PENANAWAG93f33mg
“Well, whatever happens, thanks for the save,” she said with a smile.560Please respect copyright.PENANAInYDp4gTJr
“Well, it’s not like you’re all that bad as a human.”560Please respect copyright.PENANAJBFAHkMJQx
“I’m glad you have some confidence in me now.”560Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2503zGGqG
“It’s only temporary,” he replied.560Please respect copyright.PENANA1e5TFLqAGr
It was such a moment, that they began to make out.
