It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, as Damon Salvatore sat in a chair at Katherine Pierce's bedside, waiting for her to awaken. She had been injured in the car crash worst than Jeremy, when they had fought over the wheel when she had tried to run. He never should've told him to turn back around. The moment he told Jeremy to do that, he had broken his promise to her that he would protect her. Now she was in the hospital in critical condition and didn't know if his blood would work. Her body had rejected Caroline's blood and she had technically been turned by him and Katherine both, considering she had killed her a few years ago when Damon's blood had been in her system. But then again, they weren't connected like he and Katherine were. She had made him in her image and he had died with her blood in his system in 1864. They were alike in more ways than one. 822Please respect copyright.PENANA5C1vJauhly
He bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat, deciding that it was worth a shot. If it worked, she'd be okay. If not, she may or may not wake up in transition. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAl1GPF9gcaq
He took his wrist away, which instantly healed. 822Please respect copyright.PENANABNtSzckxBF

A few hours later, she came to. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAQBodzeHCpy
He smiled.822Please respect copyright.PENANAeOTDkXwKE4
"Hey," he greeted. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAKsIBKk764j
"Where am I?" she asked. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAUxb4Ny5pHQ
"The Mystic Falls hospital. I brought you here," he replied. 822Please respect copyright.PENANA4d2MrL5EW2
"Thanks. Who are you?"822Please respect copyright.PENANAdnSPF9J5Ou
"Damon Salvatore. What's the last thing you remember?" he replied, worried, knowing this wasn't one of her games. 822Please respect copyright.PENANATx9emPmhdh
She slowly sat up and looked at him. 822Please respect copyright.PENANABTAQHhO9Al
"Finding my entire village, including my family, slaughtered by Klaus. Why am I not in Bulgaria? Did you find me?" she replied. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAINNA6L5doV
"You came here in 1864. Then you left and came back in 2009. I'll tell you the full story once we get back to the boarding house," he replied, and realized that she had lost 522 years of her memory. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAs3e5gwgfNC
"What's the year?"822Please respect copyright.PENANAEV9c175E7O
"2014."822Please respect copyright.PENANAlB7ZMcnShZ
822Please respect copyright.PENANAwwZiQQfCnd
822Please respect copyright.PENANAWgyIdd0b6O
As they walked, she looked around, wary of vehicles and thinking clothes these days were strange. The world she remembered didn't have vehicles and clothes were simple. In her day, they had horses and wagons.822Please respect copyright.PENANAv3egnQ9Al1
Damon walked beside her, knowing that he was more than just her protector or body guard. He had to get her memory back, or she'd most likely get herself killed, thinking she could take on a vampire on her own. All she remembered was the sixteenth century. In her mind, she was a new born vampire; not a newly turned back human.822Please respect copyright.PENANAJIOWT0WfcM

Once inside, he closed the door behind her and led her to his living room, where he gestured to the couch. 822Please respect copyright.PENANACFpkj64R5G
"Sit. I'll be right back."822Please respect copyright.PENANA2r6EU4XAsc
He vamp sped to her old room and soon returned with her old, leather bound journal.822Please respect copyright.PENANABIQfg8lYcM
He walked over and handed it to her. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAFMLNwCwmkp
"I never read it, but I assume this will help. I'll fill in the blanks."822Please respect copyright.PENANA4K9bjrNHqg
"My journal," she replied, and took it. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAYi6pIgu7jX
822Please respect copyright.PENANAFJ2QtD3Zej
822Please respect copyright.PENANA4dwbyLFkTd
A few hours later, she had read it from beginning to end and Damon had answered all of her questions and had filled in the blanks. He had even told her what had happened from 2009 to the recent events. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAdbEYvvbLYq
He sat beside her with a shot glass of Bourbon in hand, sipping it. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAmBSwTPVVjh
"Even though I don't remember doing any of those things, I'm sorry for everything I did to everyone," she apologized, looking at him. 822Please respect copyright.PENANA18poJztTbh
He was surprised at her apology and realized that the Katherine in 1492 had still been sweet, kind, and sophisticated. Even after a few drinks.822Please respect copyright.PENANA19d0VJHpkk
"It's late. I should take you to your room."822Please respect copyright.PENANAuAOo2C9Ia6
He stood up, setting the empty shot glass on the end table, and held out his hand. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAtoiHZeyJDv
She took it and stood up. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAAsGmpJzUuA
They were both drunk, but he was better at hiding it. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAIyiluirYVo
He showed her to her room and, between drinking and their history together, they ended up in his room, door closed, on his bed, him on top, making out. They had no care in the world in that moment.822Please respect copyright.PENANAiFWPp9MBMa
822Please respect copyright.PENANAIgld889PWK
822Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZeiYLynfg
The next day, Damon woke up to see that he was next to a sleeping, human Katherine, and remembered that they had made love last night. 822Please respect copyright.PENANA6Uk10iPSbr
He groaned. 822Please respect copyright.PENANALFXjWVfz5v
What the hell had he done? He shouldn't be getting cozy or bonding with her just because of her memory loss and kindness. If Elena found out, she'd kill them both. Even though she was away at college at Whitmore, he and Elena were still together. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAkPWaVo06Q4
Without waking her, he got ready and dressed for the day.822Please respect copyright.PENANA7MsRJBOHta
822Please respect copyright.PENANAwrfGAkPtz0
822Please respect copyright.PENANAvAQjNiwtXc
A few months later he found a witch to help restore her memories she had lost, which worked, though he hated letting the sophisticated Katherine go. He liked her better. 822Please respect copyright.PENANAFxpchBQHB0
In the end, after her memories were restored, he promised that he'd keep his promise to her that he'd protect her.822Please respect copyright.PENANAXrf47xK23k
