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?581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaByA5A5wZ
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. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtzisQ4sOw
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9RCMG6MkC
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. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmCRSrEalO
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGermAAm3Y
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. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScB5Bm9r6B
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV747umvwgQ
"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. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oWUITLAL7
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7yz2dmj7X
He sighed in relief. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghLijEQFnR
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF5BGstLNO
"Katherine," he said. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3TywLwKEd
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DhJDJ2tKX
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvBJv3NW3w
"It's me," he assured her. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3wEc8bqPu
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHimsB2lMU
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkTpVENIkz
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2SMiD61PB
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."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nQLGhjYrU
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYjV7gsw33
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdetqzLM7wm
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPRBHfuIsl
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. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGxRuPax33
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU7vpCkCPo
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. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZh69dRiOW
"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. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwTeMkgY5f
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdZ8r1yTGz
"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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rNwPl3jIq
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHlbBIls5j
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIiXTGTzRt
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiLIDOfzBU

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. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf5X1TRqpt
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.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCuvwlWYvA
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdwGPhrnDc
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oSwp0ilMP
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiHOVzTG0p
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc26EqQ4qS

581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNEBqD4uEL
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. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq0iIMNUZA
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qxITrizf6
581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh5wXGnt87
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11F55PzaP4
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.581Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEH3y4Tezd
