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?680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GKZdRR49t
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. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l8Y0l8V8S
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZe2lOfPRD
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. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z0UR3ImjN
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPXS0cFLnZ
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. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO3teHjR7Z
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CvN2awas1
"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. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHDV2D0Azr
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t8u7Dzmkm
He sighed in relief. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ilDC3wWv
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBseyJw0YI
"Katherine," he said. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqwk462glr
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgsnmaYanf
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGhLDQMIL4
"It's me," he assured her. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYQucjPXE8
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKVzJpSMwh
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibEzxjTJII
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTsaf5QwBI
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."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mb9u2Wejf
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTR9CkwAiQ
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa6RO6ldVw
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ug5zb2JZ
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. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTue1ya67gI
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd6EfkaECK
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. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVstXBXEaM
"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. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU45Q0ud0bq
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX0fJi3vvh
"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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2tTBobKTa
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXmrh12KOw
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFOrlQM9jj
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf5HijpaEB

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. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsX919rbgR
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.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2RME3eMBk
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pOCb0cKOa
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiaDWWWkrn
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM7IAlS4Vx
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHlpCJu0yg

680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OR3h15eUl
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. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7EXW9V2DG
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELUPm6jUXJ
680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK6OdGmPC4
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rzhdMcxzQ
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.680Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36xhULSuP7
