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?666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bvTDG6ztF
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSaUVwAUTV
Suddenly, not far from the boarding house, she found herself facing an enemy. It was a male vampire.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9IAfvLR4J
She took a step back.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSzMpWJkmu
"Katherine Pierce," he said with a smile.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlA0RB7OSa
"Who are you?" she asked him.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBugLC0VoR
"Warlow. You don't know me, but your Salvatores do. Now come with me."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2F3C2YZC7
She backed up a couple more paces.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPe9pm6SkI
"I don't think so," she replied, getting the sense that he might be their enemy.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6c7qFxkS2
He grabbed her roughly by the left arm.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLJ37VtI0J
"You're human. What can you do to stop me?" he said.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAyGOMZAfS
"Nothing. But that doesn't mean I'll tell you anything."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghZYBOhxw5
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIJcPe7Jon
"We're going to have so much fun together," he said, with an evil smile.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3AllSp5E2
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2MlbSUiHg
"Nice of you to join me," Warlow greeted. "Now let's announce to him that you need help."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCklJxVMMa
He took her phone out and went to her contacts.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OtUid8q6p
"No," she protested.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVVs4c44nU
He ignored her.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRv5KueaUu
"Stefan or Damon?" he questioned, before making up his mind and saying,"How about Damon."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0wL5DS6cl
He put it on speaker and called him, the other hand with a knife, as he stood in front of her.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK76m3Luxi8
"Katherine," Damon answered.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIbSQqgm98
"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."666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJLcAcHzMQ
For good measure, he took the knife and stabbed her in the side.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq4CUHw3gR
She screamed in pain.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2seyAEmAnV
He pulled it out.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzhxAV1RwV
"Better hurry. She's human and she's dying," he urged him.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhscZfydas
He smirked.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65RtCgzuB5
"It's a trap. Don't get yourself killed over me," she informed him.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8u4TnUVNK
"Shut up," Warlow growled.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOQqO5fkMH
"Go to hell," she said to him.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ4BGOEt1G
He stabbed her in the gut, and then he took the knife out.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbwdtq5hv3
"As I said, you should go," Warlow said, as Damon listened.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmctPUrQMnt
Damon growled, as he heard her, knowing they were both right.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ydSr3aG1Z
Warlow hung up on him.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cyaiB19PX
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYYFpQNx2w
He was instantly in front of her.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgCG6fV9e7
"If you can hear me, stay with me, Katherine," he urged her, as he used inhuman strength to unchain her.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM5jL2sGgw
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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaP3s0mly3
"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.666Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BqGR2wntS
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.
