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?606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPxS7xR1Eq
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBHdOcMUHc
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzbT3dY7A8
She took a step back.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsyAbiAnyQ
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZWFmmcKlN
"Who are you?" she asked him.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZw5EYcOny
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9b2TcyJCL
She backed up a couple more paces.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQlOrAVImM
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOiJJMo9Hh
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0csgxNcMH
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6eOscAHBm
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C6jaCyJ3v
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFviwdnDxN
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70lmrfcSQr
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8LNYnfBJa
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ48iSdEu8
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrt3wQabY6
"No," she protested.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnvy7Vwk2W
He ignored her.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95lj3nNbVn
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JsP6dmbPc
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8nyw4WpmD
"Katherine," Damon answered.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtbiNXO6vR
"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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKursEdEdd
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp0BI7w1O2
She screamed in pain.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaXfIxEm9v
He pulled it out.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYHlooc05I
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFHZSR4d0O
He smirked.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfmT82zFDF
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhouO8xWk2
"Shut up," Warlow growled.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡordOvu9BEx
"Go to hell," she said to him.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHmqK2CZ20
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfn4prOjUm
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtddc8Ej3H
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbslvBuXkJU
Warlow hung up on him.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX3GxXILTm
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL9oPDRjJh
He was instantly in front of her.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVkKwVCHK3
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngBzEcoIWA
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaIwq8wyuk
"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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAq4vbMDdw
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.
