It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, as Damon walked, looking at chaos. An earthquake had just happened. Then, seeing a hold with wood around and in it, he stopped. He was silent for a few minutes, seeing a very human Katherine down there. He could smell blood and see an arrow in her, which looked a lot like Kai’s handiwork. He just stood there, debating on whether to save her or not until, finally, deciding to go down there to save her.453Please respect copyright.PENANAhZUiv4zogl
He slide down the muddy bank to kneel at her side, where he saw the extent of her injures. There was blood on either side of her head and some wounds that looked like stab wounds. There was a knife in her thigh and there was a lot of blood. She had definitely lost a lot of blood.453Please respect copyright.PENANAMJEcJWd2cW
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head.453Please respect copyright.PENANARN3PbNuAJd
“Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes.”453Please respect copyright.PENANAHHpi4bQff9
After a few moments of nothing, he sighed and then pulled the arrow and knife out, before tossing them aside. He then gently slid an arm under her head and another under her legs, pulling her gently into his arms and getting to his feet, before heading up the bank to get her out. He couldn’t save her while in the hole.453Please respect copyright.PENANAEcjXZNvQcA
A few minutes later, after getting out of the hole, he gently layed her down on her back on the ground, as it began to rain. He then gently took her jacket off and used it to tie around her thigh wound, realizing the knife had opened an artery. Then, not hearing anything from her, he bent down and kissed her, giving her some air.453Please respect copyright.PENANARgPz2fVNTW
“Come on, Katherine; Breathe. Breathe for me,” he said, after ten minutes of trying to revive her and not hearing anything from her.453Please respect copyright.PENANABwd4pSsdrQ
A few minutes later, he sighed in relief after stopping, as she coughed, revived.453Please respect copyright.PENANALhYKvPt8O4
“Good girl,” he commented.453Please respect copyright.PENANATDdJ5Vja1e
“Damon?” she almost whispered from blood loss, hearing him, but unable to see him.453Please respect copyright.PENANAwaE2z5Key2
“It’s me,” he assured her. “What happened?”453Please respect copyright.PENANAGRsciANR8s
“Kai. After what he did, I’m blind.”453Please respect copyright.PENANAKIC3JHuea7
“Don’t worry. He’s dead. I killed him a few months ago. He can’t hurt you anymore.”453Please respect copyright.PENANABzbNBSMDvn
He put her arm around his shoulders and gently pulled her into his arms.453Please respect copyright.PENANAwOpxhCL8HX
“Thanks,” she said.453Please respect copyright.PENANAHrFWaAAHgd
He got to his feet with her in his arms and began to blur home, knowing that she had lost a lot of blood. He couldn’t waste time. Her life was on the line.453Please respect copyright.PENANA5gFgxX8Yg5

What felt like a few minutes later, she felt him lay her down on what felt like a bed. She felt tired though. She knew she had to stay awake, but that was easier said than done. She was losing the fight.453Please respect copyright.PENANA2HnmoPJ425

Thirty minutes later, he had finished tending to her wounds. She was still tired from blood loss, though. Through the blindness and blood loss though, she was still able to feel him rest a gentle hand on her forehead.453Please respect copyright.PENANA3XCmRLeMgL
“Don’t worry. You’ll feel better soon. Besides, you’re safe here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”453Please respect copyright.PENANAZAmatP4qYx
She smiled.453Please respect copyright.PENANAfrquvgI2n8
“Thanks.”453Please respect copyright.PENANAk5de4I095r
He knew she couldn’t see him, but he smiled anyway.453Please respect copyright.PENANA5oqtf5vQm5
“Get some rest. You need it.”453Please respect copyright.PENANABBX13ou8qq
He took his hand away and then left.453Please respect copyright.PENANAoWS3orso38

The next day, when she came down the stairs and to the living room, she used her memory to guide her and tell her where everything was.453Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZjWusjCAT
“Sleeping beauty awakens,” he greeted with a smile.453Please respect copyright.PENANAiMTtKG3Tkr
She went to sit on the couch.453Please respect copyright.PENANA3ziietT6qQ
“So, what are we going to do now?” she asked him.453Please respect copyright.PENANAraUUGXnLsy
“Just take it one day at a time,” he replied, sitting next to her.453Please respect copyright.PENANAlAr5vF95HU
“Well, whatever happens, thanks for the save,” she said with a smile.453Please respect copyright.PENANAO1bYnBB9aj
“Well, it’s not like you’re all that bad as a human.”453Please respect copyright.PENANAhjyvRBVNXV
“I’m glad you have some confidence in me now.”453Please respect copyright.PENANAvSGFZ3XPpB
“It’s only temporary,” he replied.453Please respect copyright.PENANA4WyNMugy0m
It was such a moment, that they began to make out.
