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?610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbg9DVgsC1
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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAntNPXoLT
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMJprppAFo
She took a step back.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAx1WfE0wt
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweFkG2tOUp
"Who are you?" she asked him.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDLUpGKUhG
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuop36kxt3
She backed up a couple more paces.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuO3tn7Gqf
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioD9G3ZDrG
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxWAwoLcSL
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7XyLskXzW
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUjmx1xgRz
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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIvsy07WsW
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCunipJm8ok
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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFUM5YK1l
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JXadaSoAC
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV72WvWeU1
"No," she protested.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwUuzEYyTO
He ignored her.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNsshlb2aW
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGmFQONSLO
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx1YOzNI7J
"Katherine," Damon answered.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ggBoWhQf
"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."610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7CPk4QJRc
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNvVXLU0g6
She screamed in pain.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpK96xRjta
He pulled it out.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQFPgw2J0D
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGlauELT5O
He smirked.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M08204gEl
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3sG1mJlNt
"Shut up," Warlow growled.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fonxiIEpF
"Go to hell," she said to him.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf23DcPBvXF
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy9nKQ3dSz
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfXm2Jacmh
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3NkASCXC8
Warlow hung up on him.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk8UhVs7Hc
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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpNXQJOBGD
He was instantly in front of her.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGERDTY8Du
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIClrW09fr
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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LvdUE6h0J
"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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFab0xh86Lz
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.
