It was a dark night in the Mystic Falls woods, as Damon walked after finishing a bottle of Bourbon, trying to live without Elena without being reckless. When she woke up, he knew she wouldn’t want to see that he had turned back into the old Damon that everyone hated. He was trying with all of his being not to become him. For Elena, he wouldn’t become the old Damon. He would continue to do what he felt was the right thing to do.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVciWKHnvr
He stopped in the heart of the woods, smelling human blood and the familiar scent of her. copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpGctp37co
He growled. She didn’t have the right to be here, when Elena couldn’t be, but then again, maybe seeing a familiar face that looked like Elena, would help him not have to fight for control so hard. Besides, he wanted to know how she was back. She had died a year ago.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwykjlu76A
He followed her scent trail until he started to see a trail of blood, leading him to her. She obviously had tried to get out of the woods for help, but hadn’t succeeded. Knowing her, she probably thought it best to come to him, just because he had once loved her the most. She had lost too much blood to attempt it for long, though. copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7eBQFovAN
When he found her, she was on her side, blood everywhere, an ascendant by her, eyes closed, and unnaturally pale.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sdJEG8IOl
He was instantly knelt at her side and gently got her on her back, before looking down at her. As he did, he could tell that wherever she had been hadn’t been kind to her. It looked like someone had stabbed her in the thigh, side, and stomach and there was blood on either side of her head and a knife in her shoulder, dangerously close to the side of her neck.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kRFFa09i7
He pulled the knife out and tossed it aside.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSeZt5FRAg
With vamp hearing, he listened to her breathing, which was growing shallower and shallower each minute.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDISmnyu6n
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdHISmTTwb
“If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine. Keep breathing.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h4fgxlWpW
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, before blurring to the hospital.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSReCe7fZbO

Once in a vacant hospital room with the door and blinds closed, he gently layed her down on a hospital bed. He then put a breathing mask on her, before grabbing what he needed to care for her wounds. Some of it he knew from fighting in the 1864 war, and everything else he learned from Elena. Before Kai, she had been going to college and going to the hospital to learn how to be a doctor. She had such a big, soft heart that she always wanted to help people.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5zUXViwqo
A few minutes later, he had finished with her wounds and restored the blood she had lost.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡThCAZuXSot

He sat on her bedside, waiting for her to come to, a gentle hand on the left side of her face.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9bx48tnEU
“Can you hear me, Katherine? It’s me. I need you to open your eyes for me. I know I don’t deserve for you to listen to me, but you don’t know what kind of Hell I’ve been going through. I know you were put through worse Hell than me, but I need you to hear me and wake up. Come on, Katherine. Please.”copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxbo8bT54h
He waited, but there wasn’t a sign that she was waking up any time soon. So, wondering what was wrong, he went inside her head; this time though, not to cause her torment. When he did, he looked into her recent memories, only to find that what he thought had happened to her, had. It had been Kai. First he had put the love of his life under a sleeping spell. Now he had injured his sire and ex-girlfriend badly enough that it looked like she was in some kind of coma. There wasn’t much he could really do except talk to her and make sure she stayed alive. As far as he knew she thought, she didn’t have anything to live for. Her will to live had died when Nadia had died and Elijah had given up on her. copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8HjhnlXoi
“Despite what you think, Kat, you’re not alone. I’m right here. I’m not leaving,” he promised her, coming out of her head.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mseTwnmU1
He rested a gentle hand on the left side of her face and silently looked down at her.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGzs4HDXNI

As he silently looked down at her, waiting for her to wake up, he realized that he never stopped caring about her. He didn’t want his sire, human or not, to die.copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡj94MoXjLjd
He figured it would be a while before she woke up, so he gently picked her up in his arms and headed home with her. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivb2vnC9lL

Several hours later, when she slowly came to, it relieved him, knowing that she’d be okay. She wasn’t dying any time soon.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyh4WdUDzK
