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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnDjvwSvcO
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjEggcRLHH
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZie6Vvb6Wb
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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zsfTZaTnU

Twenty minutes later, he heard her heart beating and breathing. She was still unconscious, though.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBLF1vEFry
He sighed in relief and pulled her gently into his arms.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10oh6hsSJi
"Let's get you out of here," he said, before getting to his feet with her in his arms and then vanishing.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fQYcCV2Qc

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.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBtHaKAc2t

A few hours later, she started to come to, murmuring his name.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx2MTKvgTd
"Katherine?" He called to her.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq16zp4XrG0
"Damon," she said softly.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFDpH2zSte
"I'm right here," he assured his ex sire.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8a564ppz
She opened her eyes and looked up at him.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUKWffOyzp
He took his hand out of hers and rested it on the left side of her face, instead.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlhQGLjU7x
"I am so sorry, Katherine."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwjAaia7Bf
"Why?" She questioned weakly. She was still recovering from her death and resurrection.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl5pk4CL6u
"Silas told me that he would tell me where Stefan is if I handed you over to him."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgYHjTUVgG
"Apology accepted," she weakly replied.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGQDstpODH
"Sleep. Restore your strength. Sleep is the best thing for you right now."524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYQFTxvhEU
"Stay with me?" She asked of him, not wanting to be alone after dying.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5GpDY2gVz
"Of course," he agreed.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT84kozAuoh
They smiled at each other.524Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcgh3OMhRZ

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