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?651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDZNVlkoqp
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. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO0Vu0zDbd
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDiZDPGsV1
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. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTzScqxDRW
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjSunoncNy
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. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4i7p0XwTA
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdg9r4IY1f
"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. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpftgJuVtai
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCifsFSFTYs
He sighed in relief. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fu4vCyf7E
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTHkD69JnE
"Katherine," he said. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvW2TPUo4A
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr3eWICQQm
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1hCYdvxnW
"It's me," he assured her. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwoXRfjN6n
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsYjSearUr
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAb28DrtkC
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpgAR0t3Dj
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."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2rFxY4vex
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8QwChgbR6
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xCwFuzcWq
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u5xrGEvGB
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. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApFfWomlTj
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNKMOaxS9r
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. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86XprvnsJX
"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. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIpUz1QWBb
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscnGzaFOHh
"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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rxce7PVBX
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFezYcGWh6
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I3x7J93Y1
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNo7L9I9Cg

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. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTSaPcqaAK
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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcLD8P0FT6
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf8cw2axw8
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mnVaC2RKF
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aMJ7ywXtb
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BfhXlxhU8

651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbZzusfJkb
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. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwKmsQxLUZ
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdZIksianS
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7zmFcGkAE
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yzZUcB9ky
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZfmwtvZ3A
