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?558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo6P5ehYnw
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7XmpkWa3w
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuOnzE4iEP
She took a step back.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRmhjMiLrM
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeOyJb7eSP
"Who are you?" she asked him.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooSOdeRjRw
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWWE7Yu09P
She backed up a couple more paces.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEIq806CoK
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bccMgACtx
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjzE1RADPO
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHfzw4Y4LI
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviK7BRQXDc
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kj4PuEenF
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJwWlZgzE9
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRS7HacWl3
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiaZuR8usz
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow1yKlnv4V
"No," she protested.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p0bM1RBl8
He ignored her.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wgaOOMc23
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUxss0fGFz
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJOAoprDQn
"Katherine," Damon answered.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR9O73ndlO
"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."558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzxKPpeByH
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVWUtHiTjB
She screamed in pain.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBPR02nemj
He pulled it out.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7hygIudas
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbgAsLUE9m
He smirked.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I0H6oec1x
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGkUC6AHXx
"Shut up," Warlow growled.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJiBQ14jPw
"Go to hell," she said to him.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLogCw8Eg6s
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9BzSUfj8K
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJAgx0dDHA
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHaBPufqWt
Warlow hung up on him.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lh8aWnrgx
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAwIxvO8Pn
He was instantly in front of her.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJn24b1kzo
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2nGsX7T9i
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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuliekxN6E
"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.558Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzTJRfdGYK
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.
