It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, as Damon walked, looking at chaos. An earthquake had just happened. Then, seeing a hold with wood around and in it, he stopped. He was silent for a few minutes, seeing a very human Katherine down there. He could smell blood and see an arrow in her, which looked a lot like Kai’s handiwork. He just stood there, debating on whether to save her or not until, finally, deciding to go down there to save her.531Please respect copyright.PENANATXRqzsHL1B
He slide down the muddy bank to kneel at her side, where he saw the extent of her injures. There was blood on either side of her head and some wounds that looked like stab wounds. There was a knife in her thigh and there was a lot of blood. She had definitely lost a lot of blood.531Please respect copyright.PENANAEuOZDUUiVM
He rested gentle hands on either side of her head.531Please respect copyright.PENANAwoFe83K310
“Katherine, can you hear me? Open your eyes.”531Please respect copyright.PENANAps0gBAsvel
After a few moments of nothing, he sighed and then pulled the arrow and knife out, before tossing them aside. He then gently slid an arm under her head and another under her legs, pulling her gently into his arms and getting to his feet, before heading up the bank to get her out. He couldn’t save her while in the hole.531Please respect copyright.PENANAFb30eoPQcC
A few minutes later, after getting out of the hole, he gently layed her down on her back on the ground, as it began to rain. He then gently took her jacket off and used it to tie around her thigh wound, realizing the knife had opened an artery. Then, not hearing anything from her, he bent down and kissed her, giving her some air.531Please respect copyright.PENANAzDIE7RFbcg
“Come on, Katherine; Breathe. Breathe for me,” he said, after ten minutes of trying to revive her and not hearing anything from her.531Please respect copyright.PENANAHYT4GnNKcE
A few minutes later, he sighed in relief after stopping, as she coughed, revived.531Please respect copyright.PENANAr4RKpA6O1D
“Good girl,” he commented.531Please respect copyright.PENANAEM3ZkNIsKH
“Damon?” she almost whispered from blood loss, hearing him, but unable to see him.531Please respect copyright.PENANAmovgdc2nNu
“It’s me,” he assured her. “What happened?”531Please respect copyright.PENANAD67gQTS7hb
“Kai. After what he did, I’m blind.”531Please respect copyright.PENANAU3kz1mdF8i
“Don’t worry. He’s dead. I killed him a few months ago. He can’t hurt you anymore.”531Please respect copyright.PENANACMcslG2Bus
He put her arm around his shoulders and gently pulled her into his arms.531Please respect copyright.PENANAMNFSve485c
“Thanks,” she said.531Please respect copyright.PENANAFUaafPps1y
He got to his feet with her in his arms and began to blur home, knowing that she had lost a lot of blood. He couldn’t waste time. Her life was on the line.531Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ0fkvAhn0

What felt like a few minutes later, she felt him lay her down on what felt like a bed. She felt tired though. She knew she had to stay awake, but that was easier said than done. She was losing the fight.531Please respect copyright.PENANA08mPxpeorq

Thirty minutes later, he had finished tending to her wounds. She was still tired from blood loss, though. Through the blindness and blood loss though, she was still able to feel him rest a gentle hand on her forehead.531Please respect copyright.PENANAVSsVUpd2cL
“Don’t worry. You’ll feel better soon. Besides, you’re safe here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”531Please respect copyright.PENANAgHBT9m9Dn2
She smiled.531Please respect copyright.PENANAxHrTjMV7WS
“Thanks.”531Please respect copyright.PENANAbm6XWdFSHO
He knew she couldn’t see him, but he smiled anyway.531Please respect copyright.PENANA1tQrQ30Pnt
“Get some rest. You need it.”531Please respect copyright.PENANAFhDdGnPHPO
He took his hand away and then left.531Please respect copyright.PENANAaD4id3hGpw

The next day, when she came down the stairs and to the living room, she used her memory to guide her and tell her where everything was.531Please respect copyright.PENANAGzPxRGkJu6
“Sleeping beauty awakens,” he greeted with a smile.531Please respect copyright.PENANATxd9amK2Kj
She went to sit on the couch.531Please respect copyright.PENANAkpOBs5ur8U
“So, what are we going to do now?” she asked him.531Please respect copyright.PENANAB2QfdDD2lt
“Just take it one day at a time,” he replied, sitting next to her.531Please respect copyright.PENANAHtBTAlvkye
“Well, whatever happens, thanks for the save,” she said with a smile.531Please respect copyright.PENANAmPAQvwGULW
“Well, it’s not like you’re all that bad as a human.”531Please respect copyright.PENANA7nmmpezPGu
“I’m glad you have some confidence in me now.”531Please respect copyright.PENANAvATIEAz4l9
“It’s only temporary,” he replied.531Please respect copyright.PENANAdzc1NNltRF
It was such a moment, that they began to make out.
