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?675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwjgKhhdhs
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. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAdGnEbJKe
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IEp9WxzMQ
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. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonQDizUJGz
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfp0Goe7IS
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. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEtUGDS0ea
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.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS4PZGyhD4
"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. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqm5q9dfTc
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTQL5fldsw
He sighed in relief. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW3SzRvmlW
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEDHw4Pm2K
"Katherine," he said. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfqoDgCQfS
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoTRiqxTkZ
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94O0zpBCYN
"It's me," he assured her. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIY7bG2zyB
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCEQGLMuID
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDjkIPnUWU
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwirUelVT2
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."675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrLwm10TON
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2cAuMgdMr
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwGFGQ3Eg7
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXXf5SGKC3
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. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFS7PSHY87
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw2OSIGkzS
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. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT98qWdtR1
"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. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABk0remjDB
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekOv2dSVEE
"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.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPfevcwjBY
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnfVRalDdU
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv8CguxF1T
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fhCZ0GORE

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. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3M3pOEbFU
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.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw0NqeYYT4
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIYKFHbuHL
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUS6HAc9vu
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbmCfGP5ZU
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TdPK23UMz

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. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHuubu27Mv
675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8IjuSINQ3
675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrOx4F3hCY
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPryeAyE8u
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.675Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqXlvkS3fo
