Ch.2: Back Again
Summary: Set after S6 events, so technically this is S7. Damon finds an injured Kat after she makes it out of the 1994 prison world without Kai. Will he save her, or will he let her die?
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, as Damon walked through the woods, bottle of Bourbon in hand, still trying to deal with Elena's absence. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1ic2NQueY
Suddenly, as he began to pass the river, he saw a shape in it, so he went to investigate, only to see that it was someone he never wanted to see again. Wanting to know how and why she was human and back in Mystic Falls, he gently got her out of the river and gently layed her down on the grass by the river. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrYdXJRtjF
He knelt beside her and looked down at her, asessing her condition, seeing that she was injured and quite pale from blood loss. As much of blood that she had lost and that covered her, he knew she hadn't done this to herself. It wasn't a trick of hers. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yBV4qfGz4
He carefully took her jacket off to tie around her middle where she was bleeding the most, trying to slow the bleeding. Then, realizing that she wasn't breathing, he sighed before bending down closer and kissing her, giving her some air. He then started doing heart compressions. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA63BURnOP8
No, no, no, he thought, but said instead, "Come on, Katherine; Breathe. You didn't make it this far just to die again, and I'm sure as hell not going to let you die. Now, breathe. I need you to breathe for me. Come back to me, Katherine. Now is not the time to give up or be stubborn."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIcduaxG1V
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ktomX7dD
She gave him a weak smile. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOUkkVer6k
He smiled back. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSIoDzD0Uy
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2mEefkOx9
"Thanks," she replied softly, as her vision began to fade, feeling weak and tired, knowing it was from loss of blood. She knew he'd get her taken care of, though. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbriPFpiuPR
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pSkIFscow
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKtKTHi1p3
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIBL0Wb5Vn
"Alright; Let's get you out of here. Just stay with me," she heard him say, before she felt the wind, letting her know that he was using vamp speed to get her to the hospital. Then everything went black. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJnesEr4vU

Half an hour later, Damon rushed into the Mystic Falls hospital with an almost lifeless former vampiress in his arms. Luckily, Meredith saw him and went to the hall to assist, where he began to lay her gently down on a hospital bed.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiYafHSxve
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQqgaryLGu
"I found her in the river. All I can see is that someone did this to her," he informed her, once he had gently layed her down. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxoc4CJuLj
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZqvYv4WEn

Several hours later, she lay in a hospital bed in a recovery room with Damon seated on her bedside, head bandaged from above her forehead and up, another on her thigh and stomach.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZUuBe7kQJ
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7EGkJM8rJ
She smiled. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbK5tM7BJS
"Hey."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZPMncW4Mn
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lPE9VyU4o
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4mVEm7aSA
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KWXbFpsQk
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.
