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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV19Lbfjzvu
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmU4qhlqmv
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AUZYuVvwR
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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbku9vg1VM

Twenty minutes later, he heard her heart beating and breathing. She was still unconscious, though.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITgORJ9PIr
He sighed in relief and pulled her gently into his arms.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIJCp2h6bu
"Let's get you out of here," he said, before getting to his feet with her in his arms and then vanishing.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdJSNvWKL2

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.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXElB5UE2s

A few hours later, she started to come to, murmuring his name.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yF6RWgpuU
"Katherine?" He called to her.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANwqENjFrk
"Damon," she said softly.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBwWiq5N15
"I'm right here," he assured his ex sire.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz0iqXXTkE
She opened her eyes and looked up at him.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XIgWnGo7T
He took his hand out of hers and rested it on the left side of her face, instead.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ495obI9NBo
"I am so sorry, Katherine."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72GI1jZQVf
"Why?" She questioned weakly. She was still recovering from her death and resurrection.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzjHfuXuZB
"Silas told me that he would tell me where Stefan is if I handed you over to him."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPppnMGWLFe
"Apology accepted," she weakly replied.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Q5JRlEj8
"Sleep. Restore your strength. Sleep is the best thing for you right now."604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjOoFPY9zY
"Stay with me?" She asked of him, not wanting to be alone after dying.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6cL7O7Y8z
"Of course," he agreed.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ZUzWelx0
They smiled at each other.604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aJXbpBhg3

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