Summary: Set in S5, since Kat's human. They get separated in the sewers and she gets injured. Can she be saved? Will she live?639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8lbTxNMA9
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, Virginia in the sewers as Damon broke the surface of the water. One minute they were running through the sewers to lose Silas. The next minute they were separated when the sewers suddenly filled with water. Now, as he looked around at the surface of the water, he couldn't see her. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNCx1E2D7v
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIKmk3LpWf
He dove under the water again, this time deep enough to see the bottom. When he did, he saw her on her back, head against a rock, blood on the left side of her head. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwskAETHYKf
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMrl9hoXzb
Once he reached her, he gently put an arm around her waist, back against him, and soon surfaced with her. Then, looking around, he saw land made of rock that hadn't been touched by the water, so he made his way over there. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW1tmcwJdi
Once he was by it, he slid an arm under her legs and the other under her back. He then stepped onto dry land and a ways away from the water, he gently layed her down on her back and looked down at her. Now having her on dry land, he could see that she was pale with blue lips and her head wasn't her only injury. Her stomach was injured as well, which looked like a stab wound, but whatever had stabbed her wasn't there. Also, with vamp hearing, he couldn't hear her breathing or hear her heart. So, realizing she needed revived, he did his best, giving her some air and some heart compressions.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Twgste6A
"Come on, Katherine. Come on; Breathe. Come back to me," he said, as he did what he remembered from back when he had fought in the war in 1864. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvPnrzFIiG
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsQsik78fL
He sighed in relief. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYeapOqG1r
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn4ZcqDZFH
"Katherine," he said. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4ulERCeao
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQUxIACvMb
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWslyRaH5G
"It's me," he assured her. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUnX7iKya0
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwJ054Mljh
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcDDlLX8Iv
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeYBUj6Z23
Starting to see things blurry and having had a mother who, in this century would've been a nurse, suddenly said, "I think I have a concussion or worse."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs0cikaoMf
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHvY4DVbaG
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh6ezF2u6r
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnniXmf5HB2
He took her right hand and rested it on top of her jacket he was using to try and stop the bleeding. He then took a flashlight out of his jacket and used it as a doctor would to look at her eyes to examine her. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaOhSM2S1w
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8LfbNG2ts
A moment later, he put the flashlight away and stopped, realizing she was right. She had a possible concussion. She was also losing a lot of blood. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9C9S5Ntiy
"Stay with me, Katherine. Keep fighting," he encouraged her, as he used a strip of his jeans to care for her head injury. It was all he could do for now until he could get the chance to find a way to get out. There were rocks blocking both ways out, though. He knew he had to find a way though, before she ran out of air to breathe. He also knew that she was dying. It just depended on whether blood loss would kill her first or lack of air. He couldn't feed her his blood because of what the cure had done to her. He couldn't even properly take care of her wounds without a hospital. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kf3vAlFGQ
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyr7Ah4pCn
"I'll get you out of here. I promise. You just need to hang in there," he promised, hoping it was true, as he heard her breathing growing uneven and raspy. He knew it was either the blood loss or the air running out. Then, as he looked her over, he realized that her right collar bone looked dislocated.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ucbHbshII
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyybQk7sSc
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BBLIg8xSX
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlK8cihDe5

A few hours later, after making a hole in the roof of that part of the sewers, he made it out and into the woods with her. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogxe7FhyPd
A ways away from the hole, he gently layed her down on her back. Before he had made the hole, she had ran out of air.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKynp9SoP
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD20UrLZfK3
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9e21w37Yl
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu8mRD5BFM
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuT1IpyE0R

639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7RWLwkn8w
Half an hour later, at the hospital, he watched through a window into a room, as doctors did all they could to save her life. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjV1NWJaQ4
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxtQ0sJ5R8
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVTq04Gghf
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU8JsXDhGh
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPd6HBBUC9
