Summary: Set in S5. Now that Katherine's human, she needs protection. And what better protection than Damon Salvatore? What happens though, when Damon and Stefan's old enemy get in the way, and tortures her to get to Damon? Will Damon risk his life for her?657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ329WXjqFZ9
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, Virginia as Katherine Pierce, formerly Katerina Petrova, walked down streets alone, head down to conceal herself from being recognized. She was human, so she was heading for the Salvatore boarding house. She needed to ask for protection. She had too many enemies scattered around the world. Protection was vital to her. She saw herself as a weak, helpless, insignificant human just as most would now.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHaVdsdOYN
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfqi6Vc0bh
She took a step back.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5NLtsR9oW
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbiaMUM0qV
"Who are you?" she asked him.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw66osapys
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEYw5rtaDB
She backed up a couple more paces.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjuirTPa88
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkwZ9YFBa9
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hdKfxXPBX
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDxscxfv0J
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYp6R4S7Fa
He knew she'd fight all the way there, so, at vamp speed, he pinned her against a brick wall, hand tightly around her throat.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhv0E3PAai
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKltthEsekz
She gasped, as she tried to get him off, breathe, and stay awake, but she couldn't. Then, everything went black for her.
When she woke up, she was in a basement chained to a wall. She felt light-headed and weak, but she didn't know why until she saw that she was bleeding.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z6hoyQTwv
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMqJQxxmxb
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06d53kudKB
"No," she protested.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFKyOiVrt3
He ignored her.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPu3yHWUeM
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxUclYYSUU
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc88m3mR7d
"Katherine," Damon answered.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZpEUV86g1
"Remember me? It's Warlow. Now, I have her. If you want her alive, we're in the basement of a house on Saint John's parkway."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsm0jD4CU1
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTirYIOn2k
She screamed in pain.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DMC90wNCS
He pulled it out.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQvCVgIxuc
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycAJ2ODC3J
He smirked.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq4Mc6GjDg
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV28mvq5mO
"Shut up," Warlow growled.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pRRp2jeLc
"Go to hell," she said to him.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjYQkNAS0Y
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LKFTPbpQr
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR6kQvpbqv
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPK9eU3Kui
Warlow hung up on him.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgwxcNrJpg
She gasped in pain, as she started to black out.
Damon Salvatore informed Elena where he was going, before he left with her brother. After all, Jeremy was a Hunter. Killing vampires was his instinct, and Warlow was a vampire.
When Warlow and Jeremy started to face off, Damon headed over to his sire. He had to take care of her. She was human now. She had many enemies. Warlow was his. She was just caught in the middle.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznpED1zLTS
He was instantly in front of her.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyHXpPad7Y
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvd9LfSULO
He caught her, as an out cold Katherine fell when the chains were off her. He then left the house at vamp speed and gently layed her down. He then bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to heal her. And as he did, he looked down at her. She was covered in blood from Warlow's torture.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItYhdFTJxC
"Stay with me, Kat. If you can hear me, I'll protect you. Just don't die."
Three days later, when she was healed, she slowly came to to see Damon seated on her bedside.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDgAclsGLu
When she was awake, it relieved him to know that she'd be okay. So, everybody lived as happily ever after as they could. After all, Warlow was dead and Damon was protecting Katherine, but they still had to figure out how to get rid of Silas.
