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. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fs2PWaS11
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. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP7pzzV6oq
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. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgDMptvFey
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. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlN7oD4zv5
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."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHVI7ui2BG
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskX66nAC2O
She gave him a weak smile. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHaYPyCT88
He smiled back. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJPUrWoJZ0
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsloyrM84O
"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. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfv6elFQeO
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdxO7YLwIK
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9cRyLjkUo
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QEEXSZDIe
"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. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHrZvyYg5G

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.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN8cMDLKUQ
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVsi8WH8Kq
"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. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WiLMPuvmP
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7D4kqI5bC

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.106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgGAl0036c
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2PdrKUNnI
She smiled. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqzVMbKYh5
"Hey."106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxemdOHePLk
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rnQFPBzCZ
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwpQrc2cbk
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 106Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIyDWnlac6
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.copyright protection102ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd38QJfK20
