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. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzDto34Cdk
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. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DY5zIeWRC
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. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MhMuvTz1z
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. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodsUUw9J2f
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."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIpmA0dsJe
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qbI0bvd5I
She gave him a weak smile. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRoRXAqOEG
He smiled back. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vtbjxdexB
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2gWWdfcPz
"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. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIVQ8AP4yq
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSDPGA8axs
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfyZRk58lj
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XUHWHWAqZ
"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. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzmcb4hi5t

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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6sOpych3M
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpBLtC90FM
"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. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHSNG02OXK
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0LHG1LXsF

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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgWfmChQDX
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJr96qT6qB
She smiled. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR0CwxLAQf
"Hey."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Yfc7HYIv
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sA1Rtg4GN
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGZ91H7Wfi
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRSC7pTIhd
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.
