-Disclaimer. - I don't own TVD or any of its characters. First of all sorry, that I didn't update in some time now, but I kind of had a block on that story. So anyway, I hope you'll like this chapter and don't forget to review! :D

*Last chapter*

While quickly putting on a robe and descending the stairs, I wondered why Katherine wasn't answering. To make matters worse, by running down the last steps, I fell down and hit my little toe. How would think that such a little thing hurt like hell?!

Without really looking up I opened the door. "Hello Elena.", greeted me a voice, which I knew just too well.

*End of last chapter*

Elena's P.O.V.

Standing outside the door and wearing a very angry look, was Klaus. 'Argh! Why today ?!' "May I come in?", he asked forcing himself to sound at least a bit friendly. 'Yeah sure, come in. How stupid does he think I am?!' "I don't know. Let me quickly ask the owner.", I quickly said and closed the door right behind me into his face. 'Uh, that'll make him pissed..', I thought while I went to Katherine's room.

I didn't bother knocking, since it had to go fast. Oh, what a mistake that was! It was a huge mistake, because Katherine and a guy, whom she met yesterday evening, where just… you know what. I felt so embarrassed and wanted just to run out of the room, but since the matter with Klaus was still open, I only turned around, so that I was facing the door.

"Haven't you learned knocking, Elena?", Katherine asked a bit angry, but a bit amused too. "No, not more than you did, sister.", I quickly answered. I heard her laugh and then I heard some rustling before she appeared in front of me, fully clothed, thankfully. "I guess you didn't just come in here to spy on me?" "No, I'm here because downstairs at the front door is someone very old and persistent.", I told her while trying to get her out of the room. Thankfully Katherine got it and said: "Oh, you mean our neighbor? Gush, what does he want now?"

She then mentioned for me to go out and to wait. A minute later, she came out and whispered, that she just had to take care of the guy. I then told her that Klaus was still outside at the front door. "What should we do?", I asked her while she went to the kitchen, to try to spy on Klaus. "I think we don't have any choice, we're going to invite him in.", she said while turning to me. "Wait a second! To whom belongs this house? It surely doesn't belong to you, does it?!"

She gave me a look that said 'Do I look stupid?!' and then lightened me up. "It belonged to our driver. He invited me in, before you realized it and yesterday evening, while we were preparing to go out, he transferred the ownership to you." "To me? But, how can you than be inside? I don't remember inviting you in.", I said to her while giving her a suspicious look. "When we came back here yesterday, you were really drunk and invited me in. Now, let's not let Klaus wait any longer. He will already be really pissed."

Moments later we opened the door to find Klaus still waiting there playing on his phone. "Took you long. Now? Am I allowed to come in?", he asked. "Yes, Klaus.. please… come in." He then entered and without asking he walked to the living room. 'Wow, he knew straight away where it was…' When we joined him in the living room, he had already taken a glass of something and was sitting on one of the couches.

"Why are you here, Klaus?", Katherine asked as soon as we were there. "Straight to business, as always I see. Anyway, Katherine you can dispose. I only need to speak with Elena." Without hesitation she quickly left the room and I heard her going upstairs. When I guessed Katherine was out of earshot, he started speaking.

"What did you have on your mind?!", he asked angrily. "What? I don't get you." This seemed to be the wrong answer because the next thing I see, is his glass coming towards me. I just had time to dunk and I heard it shatter against the wall behind me. "Don't you dare playing that game with me! What was on your mind when you left without saying anything!?" "What do I have to come to you and ask permission if I can leave town?! I'M NOT A STUPID PRISONER!", I shouted right back at him.

A second later I got thrown at the wall. 'Ouch! My back! God, that hurts!', I thought while giving Klaus angry stares. "I'm not afraid of you, Elena.", he said already in a lighter tone." And just for your 'information'. Do NEVER speak to me like this again! Do you understand?", he finished. After I successfully suppressed some insults, I answered him. "Yes, I understand."

He then took another glass and sat back down. "Good, then let's make an arrangement." I thought that for now, it was best to just play the game. After all I didn't need to believe it. "Okay, but why? Can't I just send you like a text or an e-mail when I leave?" "No, because in this way I can't protect your special blood. Don't forget your blood is the key to my goal, to my hybrids.", Klaus finished. 'Oh, believe me, nobody could forget that.'

*An hour later*

After a long our of making 'agreements' with Klaus, he more or less just ordered me to agree to them, he was satisfied with the outcome and left. As soon as he was out of the house Katherine came running down the stairs.

"So? What… did he want?" She asked while walking to the kitchen. Once there she took a chocolate cake out of the fridge, cut to pieces , put them on plates and started eating one. "He shouted at me and was angry, that I had just left." I told her, while glaring at her too. "And then he said, that I couldn't just do that and that I needed protection."

As soon as my last words had left my mouth Katherine started laughing hysterically. 'What's wrong with her? Did she put some drugs into that cake?', I asked myself while checking the cake for suspicious things. When I couldn't find one, I just sat on the counter and waited until Katherine stopped laughing.

"Sorry… Just so… typically Klaus.." She said between new fits of laughter. 'As if I didn't know that…' I thought and rolled my eyes at her. After 2 minutes Katherine had successfully calmed down and wasn't laughing anymore.

"Sorry about that…. Don't know why I'm so… you know. Anyway, what's that protection thing you were talking about?"

I then told her everything Klaus had said to me. I didn't leave out any details and as soon as I was finished we fell into a heavy silence. We were still in deep thoughts when the doorbell rang.

"Is that…?", Katherine asked while looking at me. "Yep, that's the devil…."

So, hope you like this third chapter. I know it took me ages to update, but I had completely forgotten that I had already written that chapter…. Anyway, please leave a review to let me know what you thought… Thanks! :D
