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?658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRgpKmrdW0
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQnqj8fA8S
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84ckJwj0Gb
She took a step back.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K0RHuKwqB
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmzxpmLo04
"Who are you?" she asked him.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjkmi2T5qg
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKarOkS8hB
She backed up a couple more paces.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gNHD4OcQa
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdhfE7Emkr
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe6vcetgqv
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP5xiOm8hJ
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGJ5hu7Prs
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXls8cZijvK
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QC9HZJvEq
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLD1rYgf2x
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd8ER2LwAP
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS5eVlL4bJ
"No," she protested.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ964AJnu18J
He ignored her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEpqSHebKF
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OLVMEqxG2
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TvUTG8Wgz
"Katherine," Damon answered.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlz2PYkAP7
"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."658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qOtL3PpbA
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIR0DyMLD7
She screamed in pain.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AqkIHe9Dc
He pulled it out.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoKygdcPHo
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSlzWQERVf
He smirked.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeqkk6sf9Y
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9WuvlhCs2
"Shut up," Warlow growled.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge2tVo6cdX
"Go to hell," she said to him.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrfI5KZHZ7
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIj0PhecC2
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4i4JHkJWX
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHNkgUSNMV
Warlow hung up on him.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMCAvOhwvL
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Cs7IvwDf
He was instantly in front of her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHHxycCj7M
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvO8rn8w6f
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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAAEnz5xlu
"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.658Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xINfNmQM0
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.
