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?640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ734db7VlJd
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OrG7kdIM7
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Toxp9yG5
She took a step back.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzXWF32Had
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5grhSvUlF
"Who are you?" she asked him.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcNwP2Z9Ro
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XkhLWBzCB
She backed up a couple more paces.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sdTFIIqcT
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sfXgC7GY0
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzfFArvEks
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MGGru5C8J
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR6sj0BvrE
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN76PfKfHC
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vi8gOAmpz
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAfdEfQNAD
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w29AyC3xN
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXF1lKt0js
"No," she protested.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjUftyhlex
He ignored her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGXs8Etbzl
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4PMJtsKiT
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFpT5CaL8e
"Katherine," Damon answered.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA63j21pPU
"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."640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznaRqXyd9D
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg1xFmHGwy
She screamed in pain.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpaAYA7taH
He pulled it out.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSCteCWS13
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP5DFVOOWC
He smirked.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlRBQfj1xd
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoxjjc3vvC
"Shut up," Warlow growled.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0uNzlgdeV
"Go to hell," she said to him.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk8W93RMQQ
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2OGcwkEWf
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfupizGc1b4
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRkeWCp1Qm
Warlow hung up on him.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk14Oxi2zcg
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCssksG4pT
He was instantly in front of her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6AmldYKoI
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQTRN4IP1E
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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB6f90Zid2
"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.640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUlFojG41F
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.
