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?655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6a6Sau1Tw
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxqdvEZTSw
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ323a3xESAv
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HYUZpvJWO
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5jclDVbHW
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNALZq7BCrw
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw5qTIl8wn
"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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00wlW0Yqe2
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ4YAvG937
He sighed in relief. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcr0TM6trx
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i7l3TtSIc
"Katherine," he said. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuBzw5PrIZ
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazDVUIdc3w
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMKmq2iCoM
"It's me," he assured her. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoZinyJ6m7
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsomQ6omGoU
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3IH4BbnFM
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0tlrDgkJc
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."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fju36AjsC
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD7lYFtYWu
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfISwZuNQn2
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdHwyV6b13
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp2SckBXfZ
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzltACXsOdi
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0o6C6SGGb
"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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNOfuzwaw2
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDJoJ4ECj3
"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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIfrG87L6v
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD46dXOngnf
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVGpoRzrJ1
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiZJt3nUu2

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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8p7S8dJ7f
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDvyCtRKng
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI0M7fYG98
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnQ5xCjQDn
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9nYer3k8T
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCgM4JdaTG
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR64EfRyqt3
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatRti3t1vf
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ71hHkxye
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl7p4qMJLr
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vA6RAPqDB
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXESaN7DLhk
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejYduqEUEY
