Protection

Kiara's POV

I was having so much fun with the gang. I bet Lockwood at pool and we are winning and happy. I laughed at the guys that were frowning and groaning because they hate losing, "Awww, look at this girls! The boys are frowning because they're losing." The girls giggled and the boys gave us death glares.

Jeremy snorted, "How many games have you guys won now?"

"9 and you guys only won 4, so you need to keep up if you want to beat us." Chimed Caroline and we all nodded and giggled in agreement.

I cleared my throat and said, "Okay. Whose shot is it's now?"

"That would be us!" said a familiar voice and we all froze in place. I turned around and saw Klaus and Stefan. I stood in front of Elena and so did Caroline, Katherine, Bonnie, Tyler, Jeremy, Matt and Alaric. Damon stood in front of Klaus and Stefan.

"What are you both doing here?" said Damon with enough venom in his voice. I crouched down and growled and snarled. So did everyone else except for Jeremy, Matt, Alaric, Elena and Bonnie.

Klaus smirked, "I only came for a friendly chat Damon. That's all, isn't that right, Stefan?"

Stefan smiled evilly, "Oh yes. No harm would be done here."

"Pfft. Whatever. What is it that you want Klaus? Spit it out!" I said and I was flung and pinned to the wall by Stefan, "Oh look here. Saint Stefan or should I say the Ripper had just pinned me to a wall. Scary! I'm not afraid of you Steffy, so you may as well let me go."

Stefan's grasp on my throat got tighter and I was struggling to get free. Tyler ripped Stefan off of me and flung him against a wall at the other side of the Grill, "Touch any one of us again Salvatore, or I swear to God I will kill you!" Tyler threatened.

Klaus and Stefan both laughed and I was back in front of Elena, "Are you okay, Kiara?" I nodded but kept my focus on the two intruders in front of us. I massaged my throat and groaned a little. Damon and the others heard it and turned to look at me with worry, except for Klaus and Stefan.

"I'm fine. Just sore that's all. Klaus, what do you want? This is the second time I've asked you and there won't be a third so get on with it! EVERYONE GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" I shouted at everyone who were still in the Grill and they all ran out and I was still protecting Elena.

"I want Elena, sweetheart. Now hand her over now!"

"Over my dead body!" I snarled and straightened my posture and Stefan came for me again but this time my fist was punched through his chest grabbing a good grip of his heart. "If you touch her, I will gladly rip my brother's heart out and you will be all alone. Got it?"

Klaus became angry and was about to pounce at me, "You wouldn't dare!"

"Oh, I would. Damon would've done the same thing if he was in this position where I'm standing. So you will take Stefan out of here and go somewhere else or you will have me to deal with!" I flung Stefan to Klaus and both of them ran out of the Grill. Everyone relaxed and smiled at me but their smiles faded quickly as I collapsed on the ground in front of Elena.

Everyone came rushing over to me as Elena had my head on her lap, "Kiara! Are you okay? Speak to us!" said Elena as she stroked my face and my hair out of the way. I was about to reply but I faded quickly and everything went black.

Damon's POV

I was in shock when I saw Kiara collapsed in front of us and we all went to her side. Elena held Kiara as she began to soothe her but Kiara faded quickly.

"We need to get her to the boarding house now. We need to put the boarding house under someone's name so that no vampire can get invited in." said Alaric and everyone nodded.

I picked Kiara up and looked at Ric, "Get Elena, Jeremy, Matt and Judgy back to the Gilbert house. Get your name as official owner of that house and stay there until we come and find you after Kiara is awake. Okay?" Ric nodded and I ran at vampire speed to get to the boarding house with Tyler, Blondie and Katherine right behind me. Ric, Jeremy, Elena, Matt and Judgy got into Ric's SUV and drove to the Gilbert house for safety and Ric got the papers and he is now officially owner of the Gilbert residence.

When we arrived at the boarding house in less than a second, I gently laid Kiara on her bed and got some ice and Blondie got some blood bags for her. I nodded at her once and said, "Thank you." She nodded once to me and blurred out of sight and back into the parlour where Katherine and Tyler were. I ripped a blood bag and pressed the tip to Kiara's mouth. "Come on Kiara. Drink!" I smiled when I saw her drink the blood and she fluttered her eyes open and looked at me.

She finished the blood and wrapped her arms around my neck, "Thank you." She whispered and she pulled away and smiled at me.

I smiled back and grabbed her hand in mine, "Your welcome. How are you feeling now? You gave all of us a scare there."

She shrugged and her eyes went wide with worry in them, "Where's Elena? Where is everyone?"

"They're fine. Blondie, Katherine and Tyler are downstairs. Ric took Elena, Jeremy, Matt and Judgy back to the Gilbert house. He's the owner of the house now so no vampires can get in now." I said and saw her relax and she started to get up, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to go and see the others. To tell them that I'm fine now. Let's go!" She grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room and went downstairs to the others.

We entered the parlour and Blondie ran up to us and hugged Kiara, "Kiara! Thank God you're okay! How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine Caroline. Thank you. I'm still a bit sore but overall I'm good." Kiara said and gave everyone a genuine smile to all of us, "Lets go and see the rest of the gang." Everyone nodded and we all ran towards the Gilbert house.
