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?539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f7BNkV9df
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmB72GlMj0
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH0n8P1SDS
She took a step back.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27GwqoZ4ni
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfcpzIzjof
"Who are you?" she asked him.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUivE4NgpJ
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQnmGyd2Fl
She backed up a couple more paces.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzShRIm42LI
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckl4aC9Sko
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZocXTwCN86
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1EVvhUtrB
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv0VLyZUEz
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv35rjFBsu
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0prCdDEOA
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnZgFmeBPV
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClUbBIqpoV
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObifAO1leH
"No," she protested.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8bXVHGzgY
He ignored her.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyOCds4HnT
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR01KAheGP3
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HCntAWCJl
"Katherine," Damon answered.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KqFqGZy2B
"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."539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQldhg8Ion
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVcbVbCo6k
She screamed in pain.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK5zkL7ysO
He pulled it out.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8qAGRumN4
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0IUVPQvwO
He smirked.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36vzPjr6u2
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKnJ1Npaa5
"Shut up," Warlow growled.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r76c7qIp4
"Go to hell," she said to him.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjqQxA2BnC
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIZKvrUqsv
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocXvXqV9eJ
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUhY9XK0zV
Warlow hung up on him.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZeIDAXKx1
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkvzrPmLgc
He was instantly in front of her.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXJnCa0Ayb
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zvopZqHMG
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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavywjvTP1r
"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.539Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFJROdohxV
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.
