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.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLsIfScRhO
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.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp310dDvel
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.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR94D4n3QV
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.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjkLjfgQ2I

Twenty minutes later, he heard her heart beating and breathing. She was still unconscious, though.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C1g26QMiY
He sighed in relief and pulled her gently into his arms.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGwhRSKX5h
"Let's get you out of here," he said, before getting to his feet with her in his arms and then vanishing.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo7XhFr7Ea

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.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN90jSnMkRh

A few hours later, she started to come to, murmuring his name.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudU7mgxCf0
"Katherine?" He called to her.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli6w2jwjR9
"Damon," she said softly.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRlzQ7H8Vo
"I'm right here," he assured his ex sire.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU6hfdfgi2
She opened her eyes and looked up at him.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89UDJCQI2y
He took his hand out of hers and rested it on the left side of her face, instead.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7TH5dalqN
"I am so sorry, Katherine."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvqoqtkMbR
"Why?" She questioned weakly. She was still recovering from her death and resurrection.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqO6YOjpIg
"Silas told me that he would tell me where Stefan is if I handed you over to him."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnNbAevM8R
"Apology accepted," she weakly replied.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ghwjt64rX
"Sleep. Restore your strength. Sleep is the best thing for you right now."576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP6T5weHKw
"Stay with me?" She asked of him, not wanting to be alone after dying.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysomnnF47F
"Of course," he agreed.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAsptBgTzW
They smiled at each other.576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuAbtgcs6l

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