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. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQyKHofCq5
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. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexGPvBSJW2
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. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR09sQJwSSK
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. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAur0W6wsZE
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."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YlJGyaZlu
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztObN6I5DC
She gave him a weak smile. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZaeXsCIbM
He smiled back. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpOAn0PPDo
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7VNODhJup
"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. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rNwAU908z
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrMDx2MNWB
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvVT9031M3
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWCkjHbUYr
"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. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFTPSfG9Er

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.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TdTvWRF1W
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P6GlJUftK
"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. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHhQBk4qf3
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXppRyPYorM

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.709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRYKaEuUdv
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZrgH9p80X
She smiled. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqX4Df5Ncr
"Hey."709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPGO8kf8qi
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU25RdtcNK
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ibMqcHivM
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdhrn2PhA9
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.
