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. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx5R8szyat
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. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwXucqhQ02
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. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy6Z6Jhm7d
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. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr0ckKjS9O
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."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWISVFwj6EO
After almost fifteen minutes, she coughed up water, revived, and then, once she had finished, she saw who had apparently saved her. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKrDmAVhP9
She gave him a weak smile. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv0H1eB8am
He smiled back. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw46FMYyb7U
"Hey," was all he could say right now. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSav22GBZN
"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. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcMjg59BTH
She felt him rest gentle hands on either side of her face. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdNejgr11R
"Katherine, stay with me. Hey; look at me," she heard him say to her. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ956CXdWAup
As darkness closed in, she felt him put her arm around his shoulders and pull her into his arms, before getting to his feet. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYDtkhu6Uq
"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. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOG7qX0Rh4

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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3f8R2iZpE
"What happened?" she asked, as she looked her over. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ9n4pdwA4
"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. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbAVBLP3TJ
"I'll take care of her," she replied, before rushing her down the hall, leaving him there. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC6209LnxO

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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX4eaHOIcJ
"Hey," he greeted, when she awoke. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6OPRmLP6b
She smiled. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfhCJ8BtE3
"Hey."679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHn957USFo
"So, what happened?" he had to ask. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6TZJzCFRX
"Before I got out of the 1903 prison world? Kai," she replied. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvEkbwXt4j
"He's dead. I killed him myself," he informed her. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLHmF2Pg8T
"Then he must've been taken there when you killed him," she answered. "Thanks for the save," she added.
