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?611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CdNiYwxwe
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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBJUa7tJvI
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zi227nW9y
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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KweZvxjZP
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCmlEfo6g3
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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSFanuqKUl
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PywDhbTVv
"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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaFSFpvSLd
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN4liz93hw
He sighed in relief. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsN8H4yFrY
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Z8YBjKDM
"Katherine," he said. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXiJ2VITo4
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPssebiksr
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyekY4sE2L
"It's me," he assured her. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGaTqkf1Ji
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMQhYdsX8t
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJdN88hiEH
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XiVtwAb6Y
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."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2STqDbdd4
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7AO61ngXY
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCOaMCBk2J
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4PJrdj0Km
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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vhwYjhg5S
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35yre48VYu
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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWMehkHmn8
"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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXvlGdWJhT
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GKzQmregY
"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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQlVY1VTN7
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHraSeGVj0
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1QhpIX5zo
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmOYSvpFWU

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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyRClSZVaF
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.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc7QBUZur0
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODvNByhEeK
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Q3ScRZKB
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFS4EzemBs
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdQIBJHvo7

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. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDYLUriPVf
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MrYtpJz6E
611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZP9gQAMhZ
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKyHuQuBs6
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vZXV2xyTb
