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.544Please respect copyright.PENANAnO3tmvUrml
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.544Please respect copyright.PENANAPmXUuKLaUX
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head.544Please respect copyright.PENANAGu8n6VKqgx
“Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes.”544Please respect copyright.PENANAlNd4LS7vwj
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.544Please respect copyright.PENANAm3yx4bEt1e
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.544Please respect copyright.PENANA0l9fxk5TrF
“Come on, Katherine; Breathe. Breathe for me,” he said, after ten minutes of trying to revive her and not hearing anything from her.544Please respect copyright.PENANA2EdartFCl3
A few minutes later, he sighed in relief after stopping, as she coughed, revived.544Please respect copyright.PENANAY8Rtapb0Ly
“Good girl,” he commented.544Please respect copyright.PENANAstS0jEqTlr
“Damon?” she almost whispered from blood loss, hearing him, but unable to see him.544Please respect copyright.PENANAUMzGE9hbYu
“It’s me,” he assured her. “What happened?”544Please respect copyright.PENANAUgRPj83CPv
“Kai. After what he did, I’m blind.”544Please respect copyright.PENANA3eBcQbrZ3f
“Don’t worry. He’s dead. I killed him a few months ago. He can’t hurt you anymore.”544Please respect copyright.PENANAHoc7zlBtsy
He put her arm around his shoulders and gently pulled her into his arms.544Please respect copyright.PENANAWeWxqcA9Uf
“Thanks,” she said.544Please respect copyright.PENANAQaqG24IhBf
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.544Please respect copyright.PENANA53Q7EqLFfC

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.544Please respect copyright.PENANANk6DqOGzkK

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.544Please respect copyright.PENANAjLQ4BqZ3VJ
“Don’t worry. You’ll feel better soon. Besides, you’re safe here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”544Please respect copyright.PENANAS2MsL6jdsv
She smiled.544Please respect copyright.PENANAgusHIuzbO0
“Thanks.”544Please respect copyright.PENANAb8LWc9nWqO
He knew she couldn’t see him, but he smiled anyway.544Please respect copyright.PENANAU4y8RzYFU0
“Get some rest. You need it.”544Please respect copyright.PENANAdsp2Ybmw70
He took his hand away and then left.544Please respect copyright.PENANAwU1rVKhxNK

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.544Please respect copyright.PENANA0n2GY6XwKU
“Sleeping beauty awakens,” he greeted with a smile.544Please respect copyright.PENANAPF2VwwKZaa
She went to sit on the couch.544Please respect copyright.PENANAF0NTcIuKGM
“So, what are we going to do now?” she asked him.544Please respect copyright.PENANAwoNCMUquYf
“Just take it one day at a time,” he replied, sitting next to her.544Please respect copyright.PENANAPREhB9z15j
“Well, whatever happens, thanks for the save,” she said with a smile.544Please respect copyright.PENANALIRdXXzQA8
“Well, it’s not like you’re all that bad as a human.”544Please respect copyright.PENANACiBZOjWQHY
“I’m glad you have some confidence in me now.”544Please respect copyright.PENANA44VMhQIbF5
“It’s only temporary,” he replied.544Please respect copyright.PENANAoL8vy8v8gB
It was such a moment, that they began to make out.
