It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, as Damon walked, looking at chaos. An earthquake had just happened. Then, seeing a hold with wood around and in it, he stopped. He was silent for a few minutes, seeing a very human Katherine down there. He could smell blood and see an arrow in her, which looked a lot like Kai’s handiwork. He just stood there, debating on whether to save her or not until, finally, deciding to go down there to save her.511Please respect copyright.PENANAJHW3Zm78va
He slide down the muddy bank to kneel at her side, where he saw the extent of her injures. There was blood on either side of her head and some wounds that looked like stab wounds. There was a knife in her thigh and there was a lot of blood. She had definitely lost a lot of blood.511Please respect copyright.PENANAaHYN0VP35X
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head.511Please respect copyright.PENANAm2nyEaDNes
“Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes.”511Please respect copyright.PENANAVuIJSojzGv
After a few moments of nothing, he sighed and then pulled the arrow and knife out, before tossing them aside. He then gently slid an arm under her head and another under her legs, pulling her gently into his arms and getting to his feet, before heading up the bank to get her out. He couldn’t save her while in the hole.511Please respect copyright.PENANATwRkCxAUnx
A few minutes later, after getting out of the hole, he gently layed her down on her back on the ground, as it began to rain. He then gently took her jacket off and used it to tie around her thigh wound, realizing the knife had opened an artery. Then, not hearing anything from her, he bent down and kissed her, giving her some air.511Please respect copyright.PENANAOipyJMRFJ4
“Come on, Katherine; Breathe. Breathe for me,” he said, after ten minutes of trying to revive her and not hearing anything from her.511Please respect copyright.PENANALqGUUbzkpp
A few minutes later, he sighed in relief after stopping, as she coughed, revived.511Please respect copyright.PENANAijTovgMmvn
“Good girl,” he commented.511Please respect copyright.PENANAlyBVjnt3eC
“Damon?” she almost whispered from blood loss, hearing him, but unable to see him.511Please respect copyright.PENANAYcBRaXZp0k
“It’s me,” he assured her. “What happened?”511Please respect copyright.PENANAhk7nOqJ03O
“Kai. After what he did, I’m blind.”511Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5vM0ejp0p
“Don’t worry. He’s dead. I killed him a few months ago. He can’t hurt you anymore.”511Please respect copyright.PENANA190MiPW6io
He put her arm around his shoulders and gently pulled her into his arms.511Please respect copyright.PENANAHBFngFW5mI
“Thanks,” she said.511Please respect copyright.PENANAc9KaNSR0RB
He got to his feet with her in his arms and began to blur home, knowing that she had lost a lot of blood. He couldn’t waste time. Her life was on the line.511Please respect copyright.PENANACRxfm8TxRn

What felt like a few minutes later, she felt him lay her down on what felt like a bed. She felt tired though. She knew she had to stay awake, but that was easier said than done. She was losing the fight.511Please respect copyright.PENANAhwWI6xgCEe

Thirty minutes later, he had finished tending to her wounds. She was still tired from blood loss, though. Through the blindness and blood loss though, she was still able to feel him rest a gentle hand on her forehead.511Please respect copyright.PENANA0HdhqVlWpL
“Don’t worry. You’ll feel better soon. Besides, you’re safe here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”511Please respect copyright.PENANAvPj4ewxMEv
She smiled.511Please respect copyright.PENANAFJO1JtQyOP
“Thanks.”511Please respect copyright.PENANAuTEQTyv6Qt
He knew she couldn’t see him, but he smiled anyway.511Please respect copyright.PENANAa9jm6uWs17
“Get some rest. You need it.”511Please respect copyright.PENANAvgQrESBkzf
He took his hand away and then left.511Please respect copyright.PENANAMB0VYtc0fc

The next day, when she came down the stairs and to the living room, she used her memory to guide her and tell her where everything was.511Please respect copyright.PENANAdWQSxupNNX
“Sleeping beauty awakens,” he greeted with a smile.511Please respect copyright.PENANAr7fam2Mbva
She went to sit on the couch.511Please respect copyright.PENANAio3cjAUNfz
“So, what are we going to do now?” she asked him.511Please respect copyright.PENANALEZC6yNeMH
“Just take it one day at a time,” he replied, sitting next to her.511Please respect copyright.PENANADSQm71B1E4
“Well, whatever happens, thanks for the save,” she said with a smile.511Please respect copyright.PENANAkIzQ8lgbCg
“Well, it’s not like you’re all that bad as a human.”511Please respect copyright.PENANAKI1RK3vdl0
“I’m glad you have some confidence in me now.”511Please respect copyright.PENANAncPT0vHDSQ
“It’s only temporary,” he replied.511Please respect copyright.PENANAtnKLmPelWm
It was such a moment, that they began to make out.
