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. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNGKiH4ha1
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. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UbY739y2p
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. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1NSnYMqAQ
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. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3E3NXLSeW
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."24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgQ5fY8pxa
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjbCczBY0c
She gave him a weak smile. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnftr3qcVE
He smiled back. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PVZUbY2Av
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpOp11ZDZ0
"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. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOo5hP8H24
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbThbOs9R3
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5stuuuu7u
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXiS2zHagK
"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. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCV9U7XngP

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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV8D42K2q1
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQVMJka7d3
"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. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzr6fGBtEi
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZme7ZiaKlA

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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwm9DmsN6N
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR0Oy0ZAai
She smiled. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpdC4eGrRd
"Hey."24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMJOVnanbg
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz8coHcnhn
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6MTJR7piZ
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKLmyHKJ5V
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.copyright protection20ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn6mbT2C4W
