It was a dark, rainy night, as Damon searched for Katherine. Because of the rain and wind, he couldn't use his vampire abilities to find her. He had to locate her, though. He didn't know how much longer she would last, and it was his fault she was out in this weather. He had broken his promise that he would protect her from Silas, when he had told Jeremy to go back to the boarding house. He knew she would run, but he didn't know it was going to be this bad. According to how much of her blood was at the car crash site, she was in terrible condition. She had definitely lost a lot of blood. She was a fighter and survivor, but could she fight for her life long enough for him to locate her, or would he be too late? She couldn't die. Not like this. Not when he was just seeing a glimpse of who she used to be; before anger, hatred, determination, and heartbreak had changed her into something she didn't deserve to be.

An hour later, in the middle of the woods, he saw her on her back on the ground.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5UBDZKw77
He was instantly knelt at her side, looking down at her, using his senses to assess her state. Now that he was beside her, he could use his abilities to take care of her.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVTBOP4mlJ
As he looked down at her, there was blood everywhere and she was very pale with blue lips, eyes closed, head to the right, not breathing, heart not beating, soaked from the rain and cold to the touch. He assumed she had been like this for almost an hour, but he had to try.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFYmYfTKcS
He bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her. Then, once her wounds were healed, he took his wrist away, which instantly healed. He then did heart compressions to try and revive her.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrynVqRoqrF

Twenty minutes later, he heard her heart beating and breathing. She was still unconscious, though.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDl4ZfQP6a
He sighed in relief and pulled her gently into his arms.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHBHxaopVI
"Let's get you out of here," he said, before getting to his feet with her in his arms and then vanishing.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qigYeAYOL

Once he had layed her gently down on his bed and had put her in some dry clothes of hers, he sat on her bedside, hand in her left one, and waited for her to come to, looking down at her.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iYJMatiNj

A few hours later, she started to come to, murmuring his name.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8mn6tC7oQ
"Katherine?" He called to her.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0Jno05ZKq
"Damon," she said softly.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m6cDkGlux
"I'm right here," he assured his ex sire.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1oyLsPPKi
She opened her eyes and looked up at him.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnywjnTUgb
He took his hand out of hers and rested it on the left side of her face, instead.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdFTPw0BF6
"I am so sorry, Katherine."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbB0f03Uh0
"Why?" She questioned weakly. She was still recovering from her death and resurrection.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgXB3R1vl8
"Silas told me that he would tell me where Stefan is if I handed you over to him."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3dmsU1lWI
"Apology accepted," she weakly replied.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiRvvTuiTv
"Sleep. Restore your strength. Sleep is the best thing for you right now."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehNN8LomLM
"Stay with me?" She asked of him, not wanting to be alone after dying.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwhSnZDSsS
"Of course," he agreed.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUXb76lMdb
They smiled at each other.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EbtaGkqam

The next day, she was back to her full strength and herself.
