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?643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg6NKlfsNk
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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi14mRYgUg
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNhahvK039
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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMCFtT5keD
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1yaI13C37
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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfZQdWOLt7
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oNnhzzAdG
"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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd1McohVUD
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0heRCu3oH
He sighed in relief. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DxUjZ14jv
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SyVXbPHJu
"Katherine," he said. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO4jc9zq3n
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKcZ5ib9hn
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYcKJkyhN5
"It's me," he assured her. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCqoW9BOFl
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisAIQqm6Of
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqCYQjlCAL
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTML2yVqID
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."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfZk31bGPW
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCk8eHbGsA
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScAkSjAK0I
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulLdOCh1F6
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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJoFl4Nafp
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxYWoV19XO
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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVUn1HQZIE
"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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RoiZGIIAz
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa5O3fcrZw
"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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPY2rIQjIS
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O8YxgcpRB
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXu4pxekzx
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AbK8LZ0Ua

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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFevONosWq
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalvyguT3YR
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzslRxmfXd
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIvy6hTD11
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRgAJAxOGR
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx4bX86DDI
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkZlXR4ojS
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3FQ48GiQ1
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. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWgd3Ck3mS
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRX6PeDidl
643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzdTbEzRj5
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Tpo2zqVc
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNU84hk51D
