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. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYiaOO4o6n
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. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8btjM9Gu0
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. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM1M5UvhEZ
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. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwXOHMDLbJ
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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZSktb6DSB
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDunFgtzMKe
She gave him a weak smile. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhLJ5svJeG
He smiled back. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnGlH9xONq
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrUN6bhGY1
"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. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKiGto8Z7n
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGALmWtwuhj
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUILOwR0NxY
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsI78cwhbE
"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. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSfqebTLFb

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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNmzdBL6mq
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir1bhpBZOO
"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. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecPWiZNBFV
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60ItzV5k2s

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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4frMJ1IPmK
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh85aVBm8Jx
She smiled. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EWoqiVbr4
"Hey."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwk4i350Ts
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaAQlwsHEb
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOQacgt7rV
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4rv8JzeKs
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.copyright protection51ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ajTJbJtf
