It was a dark, rainy night, as Damon searched for Katherine. Because of the rain and wind, he couldn't use his vampire abilities to find her. He had to locate her, though. He didn't know how much longer she would last, and it was his fault she was out in this weather. He had broken his promise that he would protect her from Silas, when he had told Jeremy to go back to the boarding house. He knew she would run, but he didn't know it was going to be this bad. According to how much of her blood was at the car crash site, she was in terrible condition. She had definitely lost a lot of blood. She was a fighter and survivor, but could she fight for her life long enough for him to locate her, or would he be too late? She couldn't die. Not like this. Not when he was just seeing a glimpse of who she used to be; before anger, hatred, determination, and heartbreak had changed her into something she didn't deserve to be.

An hour later, in the middle of the woods, he saw her on her back on the ground.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x1oBlLd0S
He was instantly knelt at her side, looking down at her, using his senses to assess her state. Now that he was beside her, he could use his abilities to take care of her.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5xVVOXAyH
As he looked down at her, there was blood everywhere and she was very pale with blue lips, eyes closed, head to the right, not breathing, heart not beating, soaked from the rain and cold to the touch. He assumed she had been like this for almost an hour, but he had to try.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunRsAXVSxa
He bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her. Then, once her wounds were healed, he took his wrist away, which instantly healed. He then did heart compressions to try and revive her.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOzpMx3nel

Twenty minutes later, he heard her heart beating and breathing. She was still unconscious, though.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKzNQUItgk
He sighed in relief and pulled her gently into his arms.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KcNd5Zkkf
"Let's get you out of here," he said, before getting to his feet with her in his arms and then vanishing.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIGnXhPUYw

Once he had layed her gently down on his bed and had put her in some dry clothes of hers, he sat on her bedside, hand in her left one, and waited for her to come to, looking down at her.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfouK97IiCb

A few hours later, she started to come to, murmuring his name.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrmWUQzVXm
"Katherine?" He called to her.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfCCd1ShyZ
"Damon," she said softly.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBa7DO8o2K
"I'm right here," he assured his ex sire.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnqVWt2mCP
She opened her eyes and looked up at him.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALKn4uFPLm
He took his hand out of hers and rested it on the left side of her face, instead.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmZS54FtsG
"I am so sorry, Katherine."579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FnDNVyCBC
"Why?" She questioned weakly. She was still recovering from her death and resurrection.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsbRclYhsE
"Silas told me that he would tell me where Stefan is if I handed you over to him."579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW03U9HohPN
"Apology accepted," she weakly replied.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxkzUWTGNs
"Sleep. Restore your strength. Sleep is the best thing for you right now."579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsnHzHABCX
"Stay with me?" She asked of him, not wanting to be alone after dying.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaSwRSnGb0
"Of course," he agreed.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK76GCGAxnI
They smiled at each other.579Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXzeBhzS5W

The next day, she was back to her full strength and herself.
