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?667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODLVgDhfO5
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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Ocy9xypn
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxKaRUzhBD
She took a step back.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmStcj25l7
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwivjyk9nkp
"Who are you?" she asked him.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZqa9O0E4g
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEWnfu2AaK
She backed up a couple more paces.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQotBp5AMx
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpuObC2l8B
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ371CEZG5FV
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKejeenMX1X
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpB7ymp3gz
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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFF0X6a5K6
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJpUVvrw7U
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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoSlCtQuVE
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu2ET9mV4I
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jjhujKZvy
"No," she protested.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ554GNFkCnP
He ignored her.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3doUDCVa1
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1tYq08rOP
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpmC81yK8K
"Katherine," Damon answered.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEBkq7Oesl
"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."667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakAfSTyu1Y
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8eCNhOEXk
She screamed in pain.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoLBACjgal
He pulled it out.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLcWWL1jEB
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ypGEU3quX
He smirked.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6FJg9B0U0
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu0FWtfY3d
"Shut up," Warlow growled.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vaJzt7NZw
"Go to hell," she said to him.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3aJiz1TvM
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTZpqNlIGA
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ugLTseDV
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ssppFVyKw
Warlow hung up on him.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ147HeTGl6c
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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhK7KqysaL
He was instantly in front of her.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqaAcZFgtJ
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz1WKFnIYj
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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl49jPf4DFM
"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.667Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEYfV3nLAV
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.
