A/N: It has been a crazy couple of months and I have to say I am back. I am so sorry for the pause in updating but it was for good reason. I was falling behind in my classes and that needed to be corrected. And I am working on my first novel! So excited! But tomorrow is the last day of my junior year of high school, and I am excited for the summer and my senior year before venturing to college. I have to say I will never abandon a story. You guys and my stories are keeping me sane.
Summary: Caroline“s cousin comes to visit, forever? Who is the brunette that came storming into their lives?
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters but if I did...
Chapter 3 -
For many years, the name Klaus Mikaelson was a myth, the man was an inconceivable thought. Many couldn“t utter his name without a cold shiver dancing down their spine. Or, maybe it slithered like the snake he was? He was a truly horrifying monster that held no responsibility except to himself and his family.
The family that he repeatedly stabbed in the back (heart).
But when he met Miss Isabella Swan, he was quite taken with the little minx. She was fierce and independent and rooted for the underdog, even if he was an old, rich heartless monster. She believed that there was an innate goodness in everyone and that it could be brought out at any time of their lives.
She believed in him and even though it was to protect the bane of his existence, Katerina Petrova, it awoke a warmth in him that he couldn't shake. She was granted his loyalty and love. He easily replaced his beloved sister Rebekah with her.
But, as soon as she came, she left. It was expected due to her duties as a huntress and witch.
And now, that she was there in Mystic Falls, he grew excited. He missed the little spitfire he now called his sister and wished to reacquaint himself with her, but first, he'd have to deal with the woman named Hayley.
No, not a woman, but a wolf.
He met her through his sire Tyler. The idiot had Caroline then ran cowardly and got another woman. And not just any woman but his mate. He was definitely surprised at that and when she tried to reject him, he grew beyond furious. So, he locked her in a room, until she came to her senses.
Did he feel bad for the girl? Yes, he could admit that he felt an inkling of guilt in his undead beating heart. From the first moment he saw her, he loved her. He needed her like humans needed oxygen to breathe. He wouldn't let her go.
Never.
But the guilt ate at him, he wondered why?
And that question pushed him to call her, Isabella Swan, to ensure her help.
"Hello," came a voice he hadn't heard in three years.
"Bella, its Nikklaus, I've missed you."
Bella was sitting at Mystic Grill with her cousin Caroline along with Bonnie Bennett and Elena Gilbert. She loved her cousin but her tolerance could only go as far until she wanted to slit the Katherine look a like's throat. They were currently looking for a way to save Bella when she asked about Damon. That was when the bitchiness began to leak out of Elena.
It wasn't a very cute look, either. Be careful, Elena, green with envy doesn't look good on you.
Caroline answered her cousin with a sigh, "Damon is... in his own right... an"
"Irresistible blue-eyed..." said Damon from behind Elena. Elena looked down sheepishly trying to hide her blush but it only made her two best friends a reason to roll their eyes. Bella just looked curious about the reaction that Damon elicited from the brunette.
"Manwhore?" finished Bonnie which made Bella snort.
Damon narrowed his eyes at her and she raised her eyes in a challenging way. He grinned because he liked her even though they had just met. He really liked her.
"So, what is it that you four lovely ladies are talking about?" asked Damon as he took a seat next to Bella. He reached to grab a french fry from her plate when she slapped it away.
"Ow!"
"You could ask, first?" exclaimed Bella, she glared at him like he was a child getting in trouble for having his hand in the cookie jar before dinner.
He smiled, "Fine! Sweet Isabella, may I please eat your fries?"
He gave her a smirk while wiggling his eyebrows. She wanted to retort but suddenly realized they had company and that scared her. She didn't want to be wrapped up in a guy too quick, especially not a vampire. Look at where it got her and she was still struggling with the hole that came when she ran from Edward. She was too comfortable with Damon already and that struck fear in her.
And the ring of her borrowed cell rang, saved her from her internal musings, but gave Damon leeway to her fries.
She huffed out a hello and the voice that followed made the two vampires freeze.
"Bella, it's Nikklaus, I've missed you." Hearing his voice gave her a moment to feel secure and safe. She was happy to finally hear from her big brother and happy to finally get to see him after three years.
"Nik! What a surprise? I was just talking with Katherine about you." Everyone at the table stiffened at the hybrid's name along with their worst nightmare's. They couldn't comprehend how chummy Bella was with the devil and the hybrid. Elena just thought that added to Bella's weirdness. Caroline just thought it was insane to tell that madman that Kat was in town. Damon was just bewildered and a little jealous because he felt he already put claim to the firey human beside him and Bonnie just looked on as if Bella had grown a second head.
"Yes, love, don't remind me of that petulant whore. Anyway, that wasn't why I called. We need to talk and you can tell why a certain Edward Cullen wants to kill you and why I wasn't invited to the wedding?"
A/N: Uh-Oh! Is Bella in trouble? With who, though? Sorry, this is so short but I wanted to move the story along. Don't worry you will get some Damon and Bella soon, I just really want to write some Bella and Klaus and establish that relationship and how that will impact the story. Hope you guys like this! and there will be more annoying Elena and I will insert some Bonnie moments as well.
