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.430Please respect copyright.PENANAR1ewfGPgp6
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.430Please respect copyright.PENANAwtb9puJzbp
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.430Please respect copyright.PENANAmrBY6yQFVQ
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.430Please respect copyright.PENANAWuNrcEwi68

Twenty minutes later, he heard her heart beating and breathing. She was still unconscious, though.430Please respect copyright.PENANAtsK6eXJK1k
He sighed in relief and pulled her gently into his arms.430Please respect copyright.PENANAI1qcM1aA5X
"Let's get you out of here," he said, before getting to his feet with her in his arms and then vanishing.430Please respect copyright.PENANARlmFxXDcmS

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.430Please respect copyright.PENANAQyiGDOVYch

A few hours later, she started to come to, murmuring his name.430Please respect copyright.PENANAWmyHLGBceG
"Katherine?" He called to her.430Please respect copyright.PENANAQRshHudz3u
"Damon," she said softly.430Please respect copyright.PENANAcNH4gDlsMx
"I'm right here," he assured his ex sire.430Please respect copyright.PENANADR4OB8rCCc
She opened her eyes and looked up at him.430Please respect copyright.PENANAKdBHXV8BdC
He took his hand out of hers and rested it on the left side of her face, instead.430Please respect copyright.PENANATG81tSB7qK
"I am so sorry, Katherine."430Please respect copyright.PENANAZPLpduq1Sp
"Why?" She questioned weakly. She was still recovering from her death and resurrection.430Please respect copyright.PENANAgmVpY9ZXAu
"Silas told me that he would tell me where Stefan is if I handed you over to him."430Please respect copyright.PENANAJepGzdEu1O
"Apology accepted," she weakly replied.430Please respect copyright.PENANA1M2qycRnBL
"Sleep. Restore your strength. Sleep is the best thing for you right now."430Please respect copyright.PENANAOzOCEhdKz9
"Stay with me?" She asked of him, not wanting to be alone after dying.430Please respect copyright.PENANAjfRV1FmpQG
"Of course," he agreed.430Please respect copyright.PENANAXoWHDqdaew
They smiled at each other.430Please respect copyright.PENANAbAUttgjgkH

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