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.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvacqmlJyLc
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.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCCwCwzGvD
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.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM6a07fTG5
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.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB96mnqIq13

Twenty minutes later, he heard her heart beating and breathing. She was still unconscious, though.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZMgQeD3LJ
He sighed in relief and pulled her gently into his arms.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDJPL45nYX
"Let's get you out of here," he said, before getting to his feet with her in his arms and then vanishing.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeZ53BEW4Q

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.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y9d3jOys7

A few hours later, she started to come to, murmuring his name.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Vv6FmA0O
"Katherine?" He called to her.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzy8eW6h5v
"Damon," she said softly.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CEG678bdX
"I'm right here," he assured his ex sire.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6PulpXMNk
She opened her eyes and looked up at him.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6HGvPzRDk
He took his hand out of hers and rested it on the left side of her face, instead.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZILaCeoP3
"I am so sorry, Katherine."644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcjvspY7b9
"Why?" She questioned weakly. She was still recovering from her death and resurrection.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrNqKeXMyy
"Silas told me that he would tell me where Stefan is if I handed you over to him."644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIXzfGJkDe
"Apology accepted," she weakly replied.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7xZqZh048
"Sleep. Restore your strength. Sleep is the best thing for you right now."644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUvGhiJCvV
"Stay with me?" She asked of him, not wanting to be alone after dying.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17LTCCKYB8
"Of course," he agreed.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakM4AyER9R
They smiled at each other.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7mxl1xJq7

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