It was a nebulous night, as Katherine sat in the driver’s seat of Damon’s car, human and injured, trying to stay awake, but she knew it was useless. Everything was going black and it all seemed so far away. She’d tried running, knowing Damon wanted to hand her over to Silas. She knew he had to have had a reason, but she would never know what that reason was. She’d never get the chance to say goodbye or to tell him the truth about her feelings for him, either.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7fD57lQpH

Half an hour later, after making up his mind to look for her, he spotted his wrecked car. He could see her still inside and he could smell blood. By the smell, he knew she was injured but hoped he could save her. This was all his fault. He’d broken his promise to protect her. She’d ran because of it.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ08whMDhV2
He blurred to her side of the car and forced the door open. He then assessed her condition, scanning for what her wounds were. He saw her lower stomach and thigh bleeding, along with blood on either side of her head. He could hear her barely breathing and her heart slowing. He knew it was from her wounds.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6EI8y1E1a
He gently pulled her out of the wreck, in his arms, and layed her down. He knew she needed the hospital, but also knew she probably wouldn’t make it in time. As he made that assessment, he heard everything stop altogether. He knew he had to bring her back, whether he hated her or not. She’d been right. A part of him didn’t want her to die.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCXsUwe9PH
He kissed her, giving her air, and then began heart compressions, trying to revive her.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCxKyUYyGD
“Come on, Katherine. Breathe. Come back to me. You’re a survivor. You always survive. Please, Katherine. Now is not the time to give up or be stubborn.”829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd03ZEKBoX7

Ten minutes later, she began to wake up, coughing.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nA5hpQlwZ
“Damon,” she half-whispered with blurry and dim vision.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMlp1Y3Bma
“Hey. Welcome back,” he said, before gently pulling her into his arms and getting to his feet with her in his arms. As he did, she rested her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms weakly around his neck.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jvQqUgsct
“Stay with me,” he said, before blurring to the hospital.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0he4iLRSb
A few minutes later, he got her to the hospital and she was rushed down the hall with a breathing mask on.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRF54HkX0x
He could only watch, as they rushed her down the hall to save her life. He could only hope she would survive. She had to. He needed to apologize for almost handing her over to Silas. He’d made a mistake and wanted to make up for it, even if he couldn’t make it work. He had to try.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6BKBF563o

Five hours later, after she was in a recovery room, Damon was silently seated on her bedside, waiting for her to come to. She was in bad shape and they’d had to revive her a couple of times, but they’d brought her back and she’d survived. Now she just had to heal. He was happy that she hadn’t given up, because the Katherine he knew fought like hell.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcJVySFG35

A few weeks later, she was fully healed and Damon took her home with him. He apologized to her and she forgave him. They even rekindled their relationship.

It was a beautiful night, as she stood on the clock tower, overlooking the town square, ready to step off to end her suffering. She’d just found out that she was dying of old age at a rapid pace and had a few months to six months, give or take, to live. She didn’t want the pain of dying of old age.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsoEemII0r
Before she could turn around and jump off the ledge, she had a thought about Damon. If she died, what would happen to him? He finally loved her once more, as she did with him. She knew how deeply he felt things. Thinking this through, she realized that he’d be devastated and probably end up wreaking havoc everywhere. That’s what made her realize that she couldn’t do this to Damon. She couldn’t kill herself; especially, without a goodbye.

It was a beautiful day at the boarding house, as Katherine lay in bed after having a heart attack the night before, Damon seated on her bedside. He wanted to give her peace in her last moments, so he gave her old memories that only they shared. Their most fondest memory of all, he gave to her last.

It was a nebulous night in the woods in 1864, as he chased after her. He was still human and loved her unconditionally.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nj6rg19dc
He caught up to her and now they stood against a tree, her back against the bark, him just inches in front of her.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtoCt3iu2n
“Why must you run from me?” he asked her.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg3sqFBNQc
She smiled.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzXTppFtdE
“Because I know that you will chase.”829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGKCk78TGn
“Then let me chase you forever,” he replied.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFj08LzQ4h
“I’m not going to feed you, Damon. If you want it, take it. Choose,” she instructed.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3FtjYc2pL
She cut her collarbone with a fingernail.829Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd4tPDTGms
“I choose you, Katherine,” he said, before drinking from the wound, learning to take what he wanted without consequences.

Damon left her head and kissed her goodbye when she became no more. He was silent, as he looked at her. He was grief-stricken. They’d found love with each other, only for her to die, this time for real and permanently. He refused to become a monster because of his emotions though. He was better than that now.
