It was a dark night as Katherine Pierce stood on the clock tower, ready to end it all, not wanting the pain of dying of old age. Nadia would be okay without her and everyone else in Mystic Falls hated, despised, and wanted her dead. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtvG7eILn7
She stepped off the ledge backwards, eyes closed, and felt the wind as she fell towards the sidewalk.

Before she could hit the ground, she felt as if someone had caught her, saving her. Thinking Elijah had come back for her, she opened her eyes, only to see her elder childe, Damon Salvatore. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI0kq8jxrD
She looked up at him. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtirte6L2n6
"Damon?" she questioned, wondering why he of all people would save her. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZfClUUnux
He set her on her feet and looked at her. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcKMFUjUOv
"What are you thinking? Killing yourself instead of surviving? The Katherine I know wouldn't be killing herself, so what made you change your mind after 500 years of survival?" he asked her. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEBKFGeXLa
"I'm dying of old age and it can't be stopped, so why try? I'd rather kill myself than to die of old age. Why did you save me? You'd rather see me dead," she replied. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17c9v8rAnq
"I figured I'd save your from your own stupidity. As for you dying; whoever told you that it can't be stopped was wrong. You'll figure a way out. You always do."841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9hhvjvpM4
"Thank you," she said to him. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Pps3SxEm

A month later, just as she was heading down the stairs at the boarding house, she felt pain start up her arm and travel to the left side of her chest. She put a hand on her chest as the pain came. She didn't know what was happening, but figured that this was it.

An hour later, Damon entered the hospital, heading down the hallway in search of Katherine, which was where Dr. Meredith Fell met up with him.841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI68nwz308
"Where is she?" he questioned, still walking with Meredith doing her best to keep up with his pace. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvAgptnzFi
"She's in room 150, but she had a heart attack. Damon, she may not make it through the night. Every organ in her body is failing," she answered him. 841Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeptXDa5qV4
He left her standing there and soon entered Katherine's room, closing the door behind himself, where she lay in critical condition with machines hooked up to her, keeping her alive as long as possible.

As Damon stood at her hospital bedside, looking down at her, he realized that he didn't just care about if she lived or died; he loved her. The brave, fierce, independent girl he had always loved and hated was barely holding on; fighting for her life.

After she was no longer in critical condition and was sent home, she was put on bed rest until she healed the human way. Damon took care of her and they fell back into love and got back together.
