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. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYHOM1u1Rm
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. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP4xG45XpZ
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. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7jjFPu1o1
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. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreMTqk9c0Z
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."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgpk8AtIBE
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW36Essg6hr
She gave him a weak smile. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIadZl4pC1
He smiled back. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f21eNZZmm
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx01zdJ3dB
"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. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzITmJZHCw
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Yf1Qjdff
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBNVmnBdXZ
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI0c7otqhN
"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. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ByhOu3eIF

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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAne7EBhrm
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypOZHyDLZY
"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. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxuh9e0BII
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlRhDItqcb

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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS1SBttqAS
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wJ1l7Zt0q
She smiled. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh0Iz06P6m
"Hey."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiYsevxGkA
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EQQJ4DmPG
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OAwBcqkYs
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMFtVgm1fW
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.
