Catching My Breath

Summary: Set in S2 and 3 and 5x1. Just a Datherine songfic.

*1864- Woods*

I don't wanna be left behind

Distance was a friend of mine

Catching my breath in a web of lies

I've spent most of my life

Riding waves, playing acrobat

Shadowboxing the other half

Learning how to react

I've spent most of my time

Catching my breath, letting it go

Turning my cheek for the sake of the show

Now that you know, this is my life

I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Katherine and human Damon stood in the woods, her up against a tree.

"Why must you run from me?" Damon questioned her.

"Because I know that you will chase," she replied with a smile.

"Then let me chase you forever."

She made a cut by her collarbone.

"I won't feed you, Damon. If you want it, take it."

"I choose you, Katherine," he said, before drinking from the open wound.

*The Return*

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back

I ain't got time for that

Catch my breath, won't let them get me down

It's all so simple now

Addicted to the love I found

Heavy heart, now a weightless cloud

It was a dismal night, as Katherine and Damon made out, newly reunited with one another, at the Salvatore boarding house in the living room.

*As I Lay Dying*

Making time for the ones that count

I'll spend the rest of my time

Laughing hard with the windows down

Leaving footprints all over town

Keeping faith, karma comes around

I will spend the rest of my life

Catching my breath, letting it go

Turning my cheek for the sake of the show

Now that you know, this is my life

I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Katherine walked in with the cure and then went to where he lay, just moments from dying from a werewolf bite. She put the vial of the cure to his lips, making it go down his throat to cure and save his life. Then she rested a hand on the side of his face, waiting for it to work.
