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?635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAVICJAsTf
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. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZi5g8bHBc
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV070iRrlu7
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. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJEdJWxboa
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RkgR6kVc5
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. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBiBmZySni
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvBPUg7Xr4
"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. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetLlJb53JY
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtowKnIAmWP
He sighed in relief. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGXbKGRspZ
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL1rie6lcw
"Katherine," he said. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUZNyLWK0M
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuReyRvFdd
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Io4TydNBr
"It's me," he assured her. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSItliHPpLO
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw09fKz73p
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DCeTL9OtS
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEpdnnhKdA
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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAslPRbLly
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwzJMQXBwU
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwVlHmJS3q
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB4O44dbHX
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. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB7amwOZeI
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FJ1mY0m1x
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. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIv8jPtOVG
"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. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7pdnhiMey
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjwSg9TuMN
"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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpcsVS0i1X
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEoQIYpBMl
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s9hJ98s89
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN96Sa5KkO6

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. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAxGFUlUlq
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXAvvbUq7B
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYTmZuxqee
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQE1s0Xcsf
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQlafVjbdQ
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGnl09SciQ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl6zo4HfA9
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DY8tlJxmg
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. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNBbg7uXjl
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JuAQm3K25
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31vyEMvVhp
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGLmTxdYys
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrPsQGfGwq
