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?580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVa6ZLCCvg
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. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb7unAKtEo
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzKQKsL4kf
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. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d8L1m2h2r
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcwMsgyiQL
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. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwZjijtccl
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.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCkWMGzueQ
"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. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsjtOHC18w
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoxBcMjl3s
He sighed in relief. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K22C7G6J5
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCr2XK4iIn
"Katherine," he said. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nvbogav6R
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AsrjrZ0ud
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtIcsGzoxF
"It's me," he assured her. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeHhXCNVB2
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul6KunRke8
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6s0YmuA9J
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69ZoKG6g7s
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."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY99do8Na0K
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR4a0qkWTp
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zSFRY02IA
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwVUUngsO9
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. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsufvVKL1w
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxOv7uhZ8g
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. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrWzyi2ohT
"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. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKd75DNhK6
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsAAwTeAcR
"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.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuBxtn5CyE
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3coORDg380
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NU2fGNLKn
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqHQcNlaNN

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. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth1KAfINRE
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.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmFquyKvUr
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJAuZMf4VN
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2f5NfpsUn
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiinAaM9WP
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51WccpjuaS

580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBqB53gOZU
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. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTiESm8yaZ
580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBipIyiNoU
580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4qaGH5v9n
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pRA5TJ2vp
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUJvtqSU2f
