*Present Day*

A human Katherine Pierce woke up to see that she was in the sewer tunnels somewhere. It was too deep for her to know where she was. However, she did see Ambrose. She'd been captured by him, though she was sure Damon was in search of where Ambrose had her at. There weren't many hiding places in Beacon Hills, though. It wouldn't take long for those searching for her to figure out that the tunnels were their only option. She hoped Damon would find her soon, though. He'd injured her when he'd taken her.

"You got me here. Now what?" she inquired of him.

"I'm going to take my time with you. I searched for you to get my revenge since you left me in the 1700's. I'm not going to rush," he replied, knelt in front of her, the same knife in hand he'd stabbed her with earlier. Then he stabbed it in her leg.

"Getting revenge won't bring your girlfriend back," she told him through the pain, as he pulled the knife out.

"You're right, but I'm still going to enjoy this to the end," he replied.

*Flashback-1700's*

It was a dismal night in the woods, as she stood, bodies all around, the lone survivor looking at her, afraid. At the same time, he was angry and in grief from her killing one of the humans that he'd loved. One of the humans had been his girlfriend.

"What are you? What have you done?"

She looked at him, now in front of him.

"Everything will make sense shortly."

Afterward, she turned him. However, after teaching him like she would soon teach Damon, she realized he was her ultimate creation, but also was her enemy now. So, she left to never return.

*Present Day- Town Arrival*

Kat had just escaped the prison world and was injured, as she lay on the side of the road not far from a sign. With blurry vision, she could vaguely make out it saying that she was in Beacon Hills. It was a strange name to her, but it wasn't that strange, considering the town she'd always called her hometown was named Mystic Falls. She knew she could get up and go find a hospital or something, but as a human, her body wanted to just stay there. She was weak, too.

Damon found himself in some unfamiliar woods after he'd died and then found his way out of the 1903 prison world. Almost as soon as he began investigating after arriving in the woods, he smelled the mixed scents of Katherine and blood. That could only mean one thing. She was human again, but also quite injured. Despite his hatred towards her, Katherine had been right that night that she'd come to him for protection from enemies that may seek her harm. A part of him didn't want to die, and actually still cared about her, deep down. And they wouldn't say it to one another, but deep down, he would always love Katherine. She'd been his first real love, after all.

When Damon found her on the side of the road, he immediately knew from the ascendant and the arrow in her lower stomach, where she had come from. She'd escaped the 1994 prison world and Kai, but she wasn't out of the woods yet. He easily could tell that she had and still was losing a lot of blood. Making up his mind, he blurred to and knelt at her side.

"Stay with me, Katherine," he said, before quickly pulling the arrow out of her, tossing it to the ground. Then, being careful of her injuries, he gently picked her up in his arms. He knew it was pretty bad, but there wasn't much he could do without trying blood. He knew he wouldn't be able to keep her awake, knowing she was starting to go under.

Half an hour later, he found the hospital and rushed in with her. Then he layed her down on a bed with wheels that was in the hallway. That's when a doctor came up to help whom, by the nametag, he knew was Melissa. Then, after she got rushed down the hallway to be taken care of, he stayed there to make sure she made it through.

Several hours later, she was in the recovery room, him seated on her bedside. And a few hours after that, she finally woke up.

"Thanks," she said, instead of just saying hi to him. They were past small talk. Even though he hated her, she knew that he would always love her deep down. And she still loved him, despite also loving Elijah.

"You're welcome. I know I came from the 1903 prison world, but where did you come from? You were dead. Not that I'm surprised that you're alive again."

"I escaped the 1994 prison world and Kai. Then I suddenly appeared in the road in Beacon Hills. At least, that's what the sign said."

"I'm sorry. You didn't deserve what Kai tends to do to people. You were right. A part of me doesn't want you to die for good. I may not admit it, but I do still care," he replied and admitted to her.

"I'm glad you're finally admitting it," she replied with a smile. Then, it was like they had never been separated. A moment was shared and, not knowing why they were doing it or what possessed them to, they began to makeout.

A few weeks later, after they had connected again, and after they had met and became friends with the supernatural community and a few other people, they came across people getting killed. She had never shared with Damon anything about Ambrose, so only she knew that the marks on the killed people were a message from him. He was in town and ready to seek his vengeance. Damon didn't know that Ambrose existed until she told him. And so, after that, they began searching for him together, which then had resulted in Ambrose taking her, before Damon could get to him.

*Present Day*

Kat's vision was blurry after more torture from him, but what felt like an hour or more, she vaguely heard wolf growling and the sound of fighting. And as everything began to go gray, she saw Damon. He'd finally found her, but she knew she wasn't in good shape.

Damon knelt by her while the wolves fought against Ambrose and, seeing her, knew she wasn't in good shape.

"Stay with me, Katherine," he said, as he gently got to his feet with her in his arms. He then blurred her to the hospital.

Several hours later, she was in a recovery room, having survived the surgery, him seated on her bedside. Derek and Peter had killed Ambrose, so for the moment, there was no danger. All he had to worry about right now was making sure that Katherine lived to see another day. And he knew she would. She was always a fighter, human or not, which is what he'd always loved about her.

When she woke up, she saw that she was in the hospital, yet again, with Damon seated on her bedside, obviously having been waiting for her to wake up.

She slowly sat up in bed.

He gave a smile.

"You made it through."

"Don't I always?" she replied with a smile of her own. Then she questioned him, "Did we get him?"

"Don't worry. He won't be hurt anyone anytime soon," he promised her.

She gave a smile, knowing that he meant that they'd killed him.

A moment later, they began to kiss.

Later, when she was able to be released, they went back to the loft that they lived at with the Hale wolves. So, for the moment, everyone was out of danger, and there was peace in the small town.
