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.387Please respect copyright.PENANAloURw33MnC
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.387Please respect copyright.PENANArINlKLb2bh
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head.387Please respect copyright.PENANAqJULB2QeWL
“Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes.”387Please respect copyright.PENANAzsTBzq0otf
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.387Please respect copyright.PENANAqEmfm1oawQ
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.387Please respect copyright.PENANAEnPgwOhdmw
“Come on, Katherine; Breathe. Breathe for me,” he said, after ten minutes of trying to revive her and not hearing anything from her.387Please respect copyright.PENANAsST47cxjdl
A few minutes later, he sighed in relief after stopping, as she coughed, revived.387Please respect copyright.PENANAFchNmAqOn3
“Good girl,” he commented.387Please respect copyright.PENANApcWYKDPElB
“Damon?” she almost whispered from blood loss, hearing him, but unable to see him.387Please respect copyright.PENANAnUPUzgVaGy
“It’s me,” he assured her. “What happened?”387Please respect copyright.PENANAkAbnMYuPbN
“Kai. After what he did, I’m blind.”387Please respect copyright.PENANA0BXCQPDvb6
“Don’t worry. He’s dead. I killed him a few months ago. He can’t hurt you anymore.”387Please respect copyright.PENANAZgLqhO4DkY
He put her arm around his shoulders and gently pulled her into his arms.387Please respect copyright.PENANA9fTqvWQ1N9
“Thanks,” she said.387Please respect copyright.PENANA53oJxmfaFq
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.387Please respect copyright.PENANATcgKNJ3TSV

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.387Please respect copyright.PENANAWXdKbYUEhg

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.387Please respect copyright.PENANAA4WJURMaK5
“Don’t worry. You’ll feel better soon. Besides, you’re safe here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”387Please respect copyright.PENANAsEegAo2DWh
She smiled.387Please respect copyright.PENANAM584QeICcq
“Thanks.”387Please respect copyright.PENANA5MZEF9m8NG
He knew she couldn’t see him, but he smiled anyway.387Please respect copyright.PENANArRik2kl8Do
“Get some rest. You need it.”387Please respect copyright.PENANAvfJ0WrNshl
He took his hand away and then left.387Please respect copyright.PENANAkoeoaaDa4m

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.387Please respect copyright.PENANAtwEslXKbOX
“Sleeping beauty awakens,” he greeted with a smile.387Please respect copyright.PENANAQqjsU5RC8u
She went to sit on the couch.387Please respect copyright.PENANA43tAnmJVkG
“So, what are we going to do now?” she asked him.387Please respect copyright.PENANALgo5bYHqpZ
“Just take it one day at a time,” he replied, sitting next to her.387Please respect copyright.PENANA7UEXuPzhyW
“Well, whatever happens, thanks for the save,” she said with a smile.387Please respect copyright.PENANABJmShTURgY
“Well, it’s not like you’re all that bad as a human.”387Please respect copyright.PENANAAfrPUc01w5
“I’m glad you have some confidence in me now.”387Please respect copyright.PENANAGTmEiB1zg2
“It’s only temporary,” he replied.387Please respect copyright.PENANAUSSbAPjhUK
It was such a moment, that they began to make out.
