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?647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsGs7N0pek
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. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AjvxcA20G
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q4nPqXBaP
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. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSZShScuyH
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTn0OifcY8
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. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7ZPbqWlsK
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.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl5qxDu6jk
"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. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMnc7SMW4q
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyYvWfFeb2
He sighed in relief. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroDkVK9pdp
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiqBWWZw2H
"Katherine," he said. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlszEuhFAZD
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFibx81mqfM
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQPxqkZ1E0
"It's me," he assured her. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFlKfBaUac
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgha2GfmfJm
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWE3URZU9B
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzyeGiCV8d
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."647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOCRU0kKce
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD4yghslNg
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NYBpErR7F
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9T9xV3fqc
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. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2fR4nmlvj
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WtG7eg5Pu
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. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAvYBoarxF
"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. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1r6XyeXxD
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08rlt5SdXz
"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.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAPB0G3eLg
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiWxcqFK9f
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS3sFglyi4
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf6HAmWA53

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. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLWCc5aL7l
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.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX4Y6yt5nV
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rtYXHMyCH
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc246Aqlu19
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65G6ccNTpO
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaamaRjs77

647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JvAkjt5Fe
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. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBh2hUfkkV
647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQREDydpJr
647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoykPnhwH2k
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAeU3ZwrMW
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.647Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DEoXcmhJS
