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?643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP9AuobsFg
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxQ3wypPmt
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1rRxJZPoA
She took a step back.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI5IWczJdZ
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt9MnjPaJK
"Who are you?" she asked him.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXHAd6RhNz
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdneBry3uJi
She backed up a couple more paces.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLHprbOhtx
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBGcUw2X7s
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9sCgkqnmj
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW52Kry9IhS
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HL9ZkdVto
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TxN4OpQlP
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ealZZ2Pe
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU8o7p9N1s
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47DSnohURi
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdcHWHzSbx
"No," she protested.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vVEblBMqk
He ignored her.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnystmg80iO
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbQtgbGXdp
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq9BorHHOF
"Katherine," Damon answered.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrQWLe1iKf
"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."643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIVQpdRKRy
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59aFSEvz9G
She screamed in pain.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe18rwF0EL
He pulled it out.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf5R6SPAKQ
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UTRJtYDev
He smirked.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5XjsCUwd2
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOngzD3Jtj4
"Shut up," Warlow growled.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6GDa5XEYO
"Go to hell," she said to him.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn82AVtaJqB
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfYb9iJHLI
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Nwb3dwFj
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvStxDVyvF
Warlow hung up on him.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5MG4ZhkJI
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAw0bfLB02
He was instantly in front of her.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouOg1NdCNr
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6bzpALtJW
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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUZFG0bNxl
"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.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0KU40q7nE
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.
