Summary: Set in S6. Damon finds a human Kat in need of help. Will he save her or just leave her? What will ensue?599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8WGgQlLZh
It was a beautiful day by the woods, as Damon tried to figure out where the hell he had ended up at. As far as he figured, it wasn’t exactly peace and neither was it hell. He knew he hadn’t disintegrated with the Other Side, though. He had been taken here.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN89d30F5go
Suddenly, smelling the all too familiar scents of blood and human, he followed the scents into the woods for a distance. As he did, it began to pour, matching his not so great mood.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt89F5fnjz
He stopped half a distance from the scene, seeing a guy he didn’t care to question nor did he recognize, standing over someone. By the sudden familiar scent of his former sire, it was the one person he never wanted to see ever again. There had to be a reason that he ended up where she had, so he did the only thing he knew was the right thing to do. In a blur, he snapped his neck from behind and then knelt at his human and injured ex’s side and gently pulled her into his arms, before vanishing from the woods and, once he realized that it was like an abandoned Mystic Falls, he knew where to go.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulHk1GXBoE

Once in his room, he gently layed her down on his bed and soon had gotten what he needed to take care of her wounds.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyYCpVtTq7
A few minutes after he had finished, he sat on her bedside and rested a gentle hand on the side of her face, looking down at her.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLNatHuH6I
“Katherine, can you hear me? I need you to wake up. I know I don’t deserve for you to do what I want or need, but I did just save your life.”599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEhMkXwyT9
After a few minutes of waiting and getting nothing, he began to wonder when she was going to wake up.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRnyHQOO9I
He sighed, not knowing what else to do for her. He had done everything possible to help her, apart from feeding her his blood. He hadn’t fed his blood to her, because he didn’t know if she could digest vampire blood. In the real world when she had been human and dying of old age, she hadn’t been able to digest vampire blood.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBVRlcmEjI
After deciding to go inside her head to find out what was wrong, he saw everything that had happened between her and Kai, before finding her, and knew why he couldn’t wake her up.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNJoJ4FLJ1
“Damon?” She questioned. “What are you doing here?”599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHzuJGhbNI
“Don’t worry. I’m not here to cause any trouble or torment you. I ended up here, wherever here is, after sacrificing myself to save Mystic Falls from the Travelers. I saw you and him in the woods, so I saved you. I couldn’t wake you up, so I came here to find out why. I know you’ve been through hell, but you can’t just give up. You didn’t get this far to give up.”599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4joKCZeT9s
“Thanks for the save and your concern, but I don’t need or want saving. We may be a lot alike, but you don’t know how it feels to never be truly free.”599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgNs281ebv
“True, but you know I’m right, even if you don’t want to admit it. Besides, she wouldn’t want you to give up.”599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6LtzEz3j9
As she looked at him, she knew he was right about everything. She wondered what had happened for him to want to help her. Had he seen something she hadn’t wanted him to see? Had something happened with or to Elena? She would have to find out, but not right away. When it came to talking to him about Elena, it was a touchy subject.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmNnrjLG8e
“Fine. Get out of my head and I’ll wake up.”599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxQdYlngPZ
At that, he left her head and she soon awoke.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe8JtEojCS
She gave a smile and he smiled back.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9QQEPuIna
“So, what are you? My knight in black until we return?” she questioned.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f2kCgkFtQ
“We’ll see,” he replied.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre8byjxDbG
She knew that that was as much of a yes as she would get out of him.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwjWQNdWZI
