But I’m caught between what you wanted from me555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4KuHXbbK0
And knowing that if I give that to you555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAVNfSKVtM
I might just disappear555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu3jwd3UUl

It was a nebulous night, as Damon drove through Mystic Falls, on the way out of town. A few weeks ago, he and Enzo had been saved from the siren, Sybil, when they’d destroyed it. Just last week he’d gotten his humanity back on. Now he was on his way out of town for a break from Mystic Falls and everything that came with it.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWd4FMtPtD
Suddenly, on a road, close to the edge of town, he stopped the car, seeing someone on the road. Deciding to see who it was and if he could help, he got out and walked towards the shoulder of the road.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemND1eObsy
Once there, he immediately knew who it was. She wasn’t Elena, but he’d know her anywhere.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoV3wWe6kc
“Katherine?”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2QczIpTQj
He knelt by her to assess her condition and wounds with his eyes. When he did and saw the arrow in her lower stomach and the ascendant not far from her, he knew where she’d come from.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDZq2QBZ92
“I’m so sorry. You didn’t deserve this,” he said, knowing she’d just escaped Kai and it was partly his fault. He was the one that killed Kai to save Bonnie, and Stefan was the one that had killed her. Damon had just watched instead of trying to keep her alive, because he’d loved Elena. He couldn’t deny that there was still connection between them, though. She’d taught him everything he knew.

It was a dismal night in the Mystic Falls woods in 1864, as human Damon stood in front of her, her standing against a tree.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfzAodgLZ3
“Why must you run from me?”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLPB8ITerr
“Because I know that you will chase,” she answered with a smile.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0wZq7ffMd
“Then let me chase you forever,” he replied.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHM7MsMFDH
She used a fingernail to make a cut by her collarbone.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx2Yhbse4Q
“I’m not going to feed you, Damon. If you want it, take it. Choose.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB0qb14oa9
“I choose you, Katherine,” he said, before he began to drink from the cut. That was the first lesson she taught him; take what you want without consequences.

As Katherine lay in bed, resting, stuck in the memory of her parents slaughtered, Damon appeared in her memory, ready to torment her about it.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0CoFJjnDU
“You know, your family’s death was all your fault,” he told her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZPrcA7Jzh
“Get. Out. Of. My. Head,” she said angrily, mad at him for being inside her head and trying to torment her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncPcwFeBLf
He didn’t heed, but instead, went on to comment about the style that Klaus used, saying that he admired how he’d put the sword through her father and made him hang on the wall.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AhwFN1Owi

Katherine stood in front of him in the living room.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF9RD6n6mf
“Kiss me or kill me. Which will it be, Damon? We both know you’re only capable of one.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2iUVwlvYN
He pinned her to the floor with a hand around her throat. He thought about the latter, but then a moment later, he let go of her and kissed her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LPxzJAHhR
She kissed back with a smile and they blurred towards a wall, her against it, and they continued kissing.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbOlXQ43lQ
He pulled away five minutes later.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrwKli6rIH
“Wait. Time out.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxLw64cQiG
She pushed him away and stepped back, waiting for him to continue.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWxwNq6IWx
“I have a question. Answer it and it’s back to rockets and red glare. Answer it right and I’ll forget the last 145 years I spent missing you. I’ll forget everything and we can start over. That’s the beauty of eternity. See, we have time. I need the truth just this once.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfzT9W9voY
She stood in front of him.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Z3GKukqZ
“Stop. I already know the question and its answer.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmluiCxGjUO
He rested gentle hands on either side of her face.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy493lKYWVL
“The truth is…I’ve never loved you.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbv9pDyI32
She took his hands and put them down, before walking off.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV4s9VEjPf
As she walked off, everything she said sunk in and he grabbed a shot glass, chucking it at the fireplace. As a result, it shattered into a million pieces, just as he felt like right now.

As he scanned her, he saw a dagger in her thigh and her lower stomach and side were bleeding. To top it off, there was blood on either side of her head and she was pale from blood loss.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tIUSIWEYT
After another moment of looking her over, he pulled the arrow out and gently picked her up in his arms, taking her to his car.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1nc3OAwhD

As he drove out of town to the nearest town and hospital, he hoped that she’d make it. All he could do was hope. He’d hated her for so long and now he cared for her. He didn’t hate her anymore. He just wanted her to live. His hatred had died when she had died. Besides, no one deserved to be treated the way Kai liked to treat others.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoeA85fu8I
He looked over at her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNIXik9Fix
“Katherine, can you hear me? I need you to open your eyes. I know I was an ass before you died and I’m sorry for that.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDct0H7n8a

When he got parked in the hospital parking lot and opened her side of the car, she began to wake up and he went to her side. He could see that though she was awake, she was fighting as to not go under again.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNjczxzd5U
“Hey. You’re finally awake.” He gently picked her up in his arms and walked to the hospital building. “Stay with me. You’re going to be okay. Just stay with me.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN4kIurZ77
She was barely awake, as he entered and got some help for her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3KRlVVDy4
A few minutes later, she was rushed down the hallway with a breathing mask on her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx7OUFk8F4
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjp4XMKIGq
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsbrJQx3zu
A few hours later, he entered her hospital room after she’d survived the surgery, and sat on her bedside, his hands in hers.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv120lYBGN
“You’re lucky. You know that? You’ve been through hell and back and survived.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQHZdOIxrD
He gave a smile, though she wasn’t awake yet.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOHrwPfXJC
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GMzquCCg2
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSReDfQRf8
An hour later, she woke up and he gave a smile, which she returned.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQsvvxe0vr
“Thanks,” she said.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ic4cQ9HWX
“Well, you didn’t deserve that and I don’t hate you anymore,” he replied.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMlbqTMhRZ
“Well, thanks for the save anyway.” She smiled. “If it’s any consolation, thinking about you kept me going.”555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwCdVyWRHO
She slowly sat up in bed and gave him a kiss, which he lustfully returned. After her death and near death experience, he realized that he loved her.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LYG4nApRo
