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. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDJth5qOmG
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. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptSoPIWKPE
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. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oEFNbnM6q
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. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FxmP7hVFq
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."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Thk5VRnu
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21PVuKzhgR
She gave him a weak smile. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUWsYxy0eu
He smiled back. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymbINfknIN
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzPqmvdLEr
"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. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqTwC8DRkE
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz331Js9On2
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LrLLFQzxB
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa3VqxLXmI
"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. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5imohqGvou

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.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl08qU4FCSf
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdehFihXGJF
"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. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9P5QZpWbY
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QXDNL6Jqe

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.715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKURwQw47wY
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze3aeIPwB3
She smiled. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbfaZobNsS
"Hey."715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtXw9EEgmj
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM27VM7OqJI
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOCGH9A5rz
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 715Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcAXKxEPcC
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.
