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.508Please respect copyright.PENANAhsZIsZoR5y
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.508Please respect copyright.PENANADCImJoEAO7
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head.508Please respect copyright.PENANAk9Vbayot4d
“Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes.”508Please respect copyright.PENANAQa6f0aIhps
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.508Please respect copyright.PENANARqJVciLkMW
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.508Please respect copyright.PENANAdABFxOUFE6
“Come on, Katherine; Breathe. Breathe for me,” he said, after ten minutes of trying to revive her and not hearing anything from her.508Please respect copyright.PENANAOYIB9ASAfh
A few minutes later, he sighed in relief after stopping, as she coughed, revived.508Please respect copyright.PENANAid1F0OLNba
“Good girl,” he commented.508Please respect copyright.PENANA9X3DlPk3v3
“Damon?” she almost whispered from blood loss, hearing him, but unable to see him.508Please respect copyright.PENANAsZQzDT5LO8
“It’s me,” he assured her. “What happened?”508Please respect copyright.PENANAv8xJOLdGBF
“Kai. After what he did, I’m blind.”508Please respect copyright.PENANAd763BAU5iQ
“Don’t worry. He’s dead. I killed him a few months ago. He can’t hurt you anymore.”508Please respect copyright.PENANAzJZ6rvzFKt
He put her arm around his shoulders and gently pulled her into his arms.508Please respect copyright.PENANAoG83T8M6VP
“Thanks,” she said.508Please respect copyright.PENANAL5ZqQOf9Lr
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.508Please respect copyright.PENANA9IpKLNeV2J

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.508Please respect copyright.PENANABdch8wydEG

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.508Please respect copyright.PENANAUPqjPelJ9h
“Don’t worry. You’ll feel better soon. Besides, you’re safe here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”508Please respect copyright.PENANAT2KXMrBSAV
She smiled.508Please respect copyright.PENANAxJtxfJltqQ
“Thanks.”508Please respect copyright.PENANAufWXrpfs0F
He knew she couldn’t see him, but he smiled anyway.508Please respect copyright.PENANAcIoI8onpkb
“Get some rest. You need it.”508Please respect copyright.PENANA2KvhvmZ56B
He took his hand away and then left.508Please respect copyright.PENANAErlc6hcOaL

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.508Please respect copyright.PENANAtda12lOrhf
“Sleeping beauty awakens,” he greeted with a smile.508Please respect copyright.PENANAyh1jJ9nsmS
She went to sit on the couch.508Please respect copyright.PENANAbAtPR7gACi
“So, what are we going to do now?” she asked him.508Please respect copyright.PENANADWHF5Oymv6
“Just take it one day at a time,” he replied, sitting next to her.508Please respect copyright.PENANA4moZYHZ0Yz
“Well, whatever happens, thanks for the save,” she said with a smile.508Please respect copyright.PENANAQJgGXoXCe6
“Well, it’s not like you’re all that bad as a human.”508Please respect copyright.PENANA76ejVrBRiS
“I’m glad you have some confidence in me now.”508Please respect copyright.PENANAB3PpP5Iiue
“It’s only temporary,” he replied.508Please respect copyright.PENANAkIBXxAUybP
It was such a moment, that they began to make out.
