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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzNWGNfhZS
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5GPzvymLx
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFMzeZ7p57
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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9jletqH7U

Twenty minutes later, he heard her heart beating and breathing. She was still unconscious, though.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxsRfMP1fc
He sighed in relief and pulled her gently into his arms.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPvWJxBPmX
"Let's get you out of here," he said, before getting to his feet with her in his arms and then vanishing.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6B1tau1su

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.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhzcc213EK

A few hours later, she started to come to, murmuring his name.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4uxreXGfF
"Katherine?" He called to her.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9BnCIG94W
"Damon," she said softly.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzJIY6zb4s
"I'm right here," he assured his ex sire.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyPMCDldKG
She opened her eyes and looked up at him.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGPUFajk9E
He took his hand out of hers and rested it on the left side of her face, instead.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E7VKXTnTv
"I am so sorry, Katherine."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nhGD1fkKB
"Why?" She questioned weakly. She was still recovering from her death and resurrection.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurigMlES5z
"Silas told me that he would tell me where Stefan is if I handed you over to him."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpr0uWDPli
"Apology accepted," she weakly replied.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpo03UGyXp
"Sleep. Restore your strength. Sleep is the best thing for you right now."523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlXlzuu6wG
"Stay with me?" She asked of him, not wanting to be alone after dying.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8N3HlloeH
"Of course," he agreed.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4BPGR8L6X
They smiled at each other.523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68F5gdMXNe

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