Klaus POV
I opened the door to the Salvatore Boarding House and was immediately hit with the smell of her blood. Bella, I could never forget how absolutely delicious she smelt and I could not bee mistaken about her being here. But, why was she here? There was no reason for her to be here and why had Damon called me here? Did it have something to do with Bella? Was she hurt? But why would Damon call me here if Bella was hurt?
I walked further inside the house to see the Salvatore brothers, the new vampire doppleganger, a shape shifter...curious and ...Bella.
"Klaus" Bella said and at that moment I realized that this girl had, for some reason not forgotten me. Perhaps she had vervain on her, but looking at her, I felt something I had never felt before, it was as if every nerve, every fibre of my being was pulling me to her. I wanted to make sure that she was alright because anything contrary to that could possibly tear me apart. Snap out of it, you idiot, a voice that sounded all too much like Kol admonished me, she's just a girl. I haden't felt like this even when I saw Caroline, perhaps I felt some part of it with Tatia, but never so strongly.
"You guessed right, evil original hybrid, 10 o'clock" Damon said and I resisted the urge to rip his throat out, he was much too sarcastic for his own good.
"So, Damon, to what do I owe the honor of being invited into your home?" I asked, moving past Bella, not giving her even a tiny hint that I recognised her.
"Klaus please sit we have something important to tell you, you'll want to know." It was Stefan who spoke this time. I went and sat at the end of the couch where Caroline was sitting.
"Well, go on then, I'm all ears".
Soon, Bella came and sat in between me and Caroline, and I almost lost control of my bloodlust, with her so close to me, but even the thought of hurting her, the pain it would bring me, cleared all such thoughts away. Then Bella told us all about the last year of her life, and I had the urge to find this Edward and then Victoria, and tear them apart for hurting Bella. Also, I understood why my compulsion didn't work on her.
"Your a shield". I said as she finished telling everything.
"A what?" she asked, looking quite offended and I resisted the urge to chuckle.
Bella POV
I remembered Klaus from three years ago when I had met him in Arizona, I had always thought he was a dream or hallucination, but now it all made sense, that day he was compeling me to forget our meeting for some reason, but I didn't, maybe it was because of the same reason that Edward couldn't read my mind. When I came back into the living room, I saw that the only place where I could sit was next to Klaus and sat there, hoping he wouldn't notice how erratic my heartbeat was.
A few minutes after I told everything, Klaus said that I was a shield, whatever that meant.
"Yes, a shield, it means that no cumpulsion can work on you."
"Well, what about him?" Damon asked Klaus while pointing towards Jacob.
"Ah, he's a shape shifter, it means that he can turn on will and unlike actual wearwolves whose curse activates only after killing someone, their's activates if any supernatural being is in the vicinity and so it did when the Cold Ones came. The Cold One as in the Cullens" He took their name with such disgust as if they had personally killed his cat or something. "They are different from us, they don't have to be invited in, they don't burn in the sun and the other differences that you know. Well, if that's all then I should go, I have much more important things to do then sit around here and discuss about species of vampire and werewolves."
I felt the strange urge to go after Klaus and stop him, but I reminded myself that he had killed aunt Jenna.
Klaus POV
At first I didn't understand why Bella was there and I would've killed Damon if she hadn't been there and the moment I had heard about this Edward I felt...jealous and when I heard the kind of pain he had left her in, I wanted to go to him and rip out his heart for hurting my Bella. I stopped my car outside the Grill, she wasn't mine.
