It was a dismal night, as the human drove. She'd just found out that she was a doppelganger. It was upsetting to her, because he hadn't told her until now, even though he'd known since first meeting her. After this news, she'd left his place to think things through.
Suddenly, as she continued driving, someone stood in the road, which made her slam on the breaks and swerve to avoid hitting him. The SUV ended up upside down though, and the vampire began to approach her. Then everything went black for her.
When she woke up, she was tied to a chair, the vampire in the room. It looked like they were in a basement.
"You're awake. Good," he commented. Then he took out a phone, calling Damon, telling him to find them if he wanted her to stay alive. He was doing this for an eye for an eye. Then he hung up.
"Please, don't," she said, not wanting Damon risking his life, but also not wanting to die. She knew she couldn't do much, though. It felt like to her that she probably had a concussion. Everything was blurry.
"Don't worry. It'll be over soon," Clyde assured her, before setting the place on fire and leaving.
Meanwhile, Damon was searching for them, all the while, angry at Clyde. It didn't take too long to find and sneak up on him, pinning him to a brick wall, hand around his heart, though.
"Where's Katherine?" he demanded.
Clyde told him the address.
Damon ripped out his heart and dropped it, before blurring to the house.
Half an hour later, he entered the basement. He then looked at her, hands on either side of her head. He assumed from the blood on either side that she had a concussion.
"Katherine, can you hear me?" he called to her.
When she didn't wake up, he snapped the ropes in two and gently picked her up in his arms, before blurring out of the house and to the hospital.
A few hours later, when she woke up, she found that she was in a bed at the hospital. She also saw that Damon was there, obviously having been waiting for her to wake up. She knew that that meant that he'd saved her. She assumed he'd also survived Clyde, one of his vampire enemies, and probably had taken care of him.
She gave a smile.
"Hey."
Damon sat on her bedside and looked at her.
"Feeling better?"
"I am," she replied.
"Good. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you, nor do I like hospitals," he commented.
He gave a smile, which she returned.
After a few days, she was discharged from the hospital, so Damon took her home.
