Ch.2: Back Again
Summary: Set after S6 events, so technically this is S7. Damon finds an injured Kat after she makes it out of the 1994 prison world without Kai. Will he save her, or will he let her die?
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, as Damon walked through the woods, bottle of Bourbon in hand, still trying to deal with Elena's absence. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY62CFYeAl
Suddenly, as he began to pass the river, he saw a shape in it, so he went to investigate, only to see that it was someone he never wanted to see again. Wanting to know how and why she was human and back in Mystic Falls, he gently got her out of the river and gently layed her down on the grass by the river. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3c0eNyZk0
He knelt beside her and looked down at her, asessing her condition, seeing that she was injured and quite pale from blood loss. As much of blood that she had lost and that covered her, he knew she hadn't done this to herself. It wasn't a trick of hers. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl6VWeJvpM
He carefully took her jacket off to tie around her middle where she was bleeding the most, trying to slow the bleeding. Then, realizing that she wasn't breathing, he sighed before bending down closer and kissing her, giving her some air. He then started doing heart compressions. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFIxGQeRAQ
No, no, no, he thought, but said instead, "Come on, Katherine; Breathe. You didn't make it this far just to die again, and I'm sure as hell not going to let you die. Now, breathe. I need you to breathe for me. Come back to me, Katherine. Now is not the time to give up or be stubborn."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdTfoc1lSg
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzUAdaecoJ
She gave him a weak smile. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnH704mAy4
He smiled back. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaiXy6v1bm
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AzhJDAtlZ
"Thanks," she replied softly, as her vision began to fade, feeling weak and tired, knowing it was from loss of blood. She knew he'd get her taken care of, though. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fRgBNPCja
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyeKdisWBE
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp0tL1WE0U
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z0TT4OVrB
"Alright; Let's get you out of here. Just stay with me," she heard him say, before she felt the wind, letting her know that he was using vamp speed to get her to the hospital. Then everything went black. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUluQfKFF2t

Half an hour later, Damon rushed into the Mystic Falls hospital with an almost lifeless former vampiress in his arms. Luckily, Meredith saw him and went to the hall to assist, where he began to lay her gently down on a hospital bed.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLY15MmTdP
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFJP5j6Xmp
"I found her in the river. All I can see is that someone did this to her," he informed her, once he had gently layed her down. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B1pzG6iNE
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAGPVaUUvz

Several hours later, she lay in a hospital bed in a recovery room with Damon seated on her bedside, head bandaged from above her forehead and up, another on her thigh and stomach.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW0toGPDnq
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5OXr1JCVU
She smiled. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sHGLsZdJb
"Hey."714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Od7iaHwK
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwZTOeDbo6
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW299eqmvXk
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3yJatuV4f
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.
