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?540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatZA4mP8u3
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.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl93tgtKWcw
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXzpu01GbB
She took a step back.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Avzb7Zl2C
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVBJMm2qEs
"Who are you?" she asked him.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy1Z62hSZh
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVRMQxvTFi
She backed up a couple more paces.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYukphFBp5H
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GFaycgUW0
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbgN0T0MUi
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX8sgKfqdL
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZSn2rJDlG
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.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9sAFl0ToE
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzTnlejGKK
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.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6AW4PgnJr
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHqr8XWzG1
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPmYE5EqIL
"No," she protested.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgQaQMK2xm
He ignored her.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjE8eidLDP
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yk6UXknH2
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO7IIB2Tgb
"Katherine," Damon answered.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4wqoHE6lb
"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."540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw57VyKfL6h
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjQW6e9pe4
She screamed in pain.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJkoL6MLzu
He pulled it out.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQMFhD0YRf
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH09lhFbJ3
He smirked.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sniBxYVYp
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KH43yYubi
"Shut up," Warlow growled.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAbsaJFazp
"Go to hell," she said to him.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6A72eHaut
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfgMla7pw3
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tIaeBin3O
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv93HNDqvGp
Warlow hung up on him.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4LNILgtIx
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.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVCTVLTahX
He was instantly in front of her.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4f4h4w2Up
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcMqFEnmlT
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.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZg9dadbN4
"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.540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbjKxWid44
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.
