Ok chapter 11 is here, I know the suspense over the last 4 months must have been crazy. As always I apologise, but hope you enjoy the chapter.

As soon as Bella exited the science block at Mystic Falls High School after her last class of the day she was attacked with the familiar scent of Honey Suckle and Vanilla. It was fresh and strong meaning the person had been here within the last five minutes and did not just stop for a quick breather but rather at least an hour. She could tell by the direction of the breeze that the person had been standing behind the tree line which could be seen outside of the Chemistry; coincidently the room Bella had the pleasure of occupying; along with the other 14 of her classmates, for the past 90 minutes.
She knew Katherine would find her again eventually, but she always assumed she was a little more pre-occupied to be in Mystic Falls in a few weeks of Bella's arrival. Isabella did admit that she went to a pretty obvious location, it wouldn't take a genius to figure out the Bella was in Mystic Falls if they knew it was not only her birth place but where her father and Uncle lived. But still this means she'd have to keep a look out for another vampire hanging around, one that she had no clue about their intentions.
"Bella, are you alright?" Jasper said as he startled Bella out of her thoughts.
"Ah yeah, of course. How was your first Physics class?" She asked shaking the worry of Katherine to the back of her mind, she could handle her if need be.
"The same as always, easy. It's so hard to pretend to listen to the teacher who obviously knows less about the subject than you do," he laughed choosing to leave out the part about the few girls in his class never taking their eyes of him.
"Well you do have the advantage of going to highschool repeatedly and if I recall what you told me yesterday going to college as a physics major," she laughed.
"Maybe you have a point," he agreed as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and escorted his wife out of school grounds to Stefan's car, both of them blissfully unaware of the jealous looks fellow students were giving them.
It wasn't a long wait till a confused Elena and a frantic looking Stefan came walking, at a quick pace, towards the pair.
"I know you smell her Bells," her uncle said as soon as they reached them.
"I have no idea what you are talking about," she replied feigning innocence.
"I know you can tell exactly who's sent was lingering outside of the science block and don't you deny it" he said frantically, not bothering to explain things to a confused Jasper and Elena.
"Fine, of course I know. I've spent my whole life avoiding that sent and for once I just want to ignore the facts and be ignorant and happy. Why can't I do that?" Bella questioned, emotional that she finally reunited with her husband come mate and something, or someone, had to ruin it. Stefan quickly ushered everyone in the car still feeling unsafe.
"You know why you can't ignore it, it's dangerous. You have no idea what she will do,"
"FINE!" Bella growled.
"We have to tell Damon,"
"Tell Damon what?" Elena asked from the back seat.
"That my lovely mother is back and apparently stalking me" Bella replied sarcastically.

Katherine had hidden behind the trees as she watched her daughter through the window. She was completely focused in her work, her pen speeding from left to right across her notebook, eyes darting from her textbook and back to her hand. Katherine had never been to deny how beautiful her daughter was, with Damon's piercing blue eyes and hair the resembled her own she was certainly a heart breaker. She saw it earlier especially when Bella was walking arm in arm with the blonde boy she'd seen with her at the Grill. Most of the teenage boys were looking with pure jealousy at the blonde man, and to his credits many girls seemed to be doing the same at Bella. She was perfect and from what she had seen intelligent and kind, if she wanted to be, something she is not. Though he probably would never admit it Damon did a fantastic job of raising their daughter and she was truly glad that she took after him and her personality did not resemble her own. One day she would thank Damon for all that he did. That he, a young man newly turned into a vampire, had the compassion to raise his daughter, one he bore to a women who did not seem to love him, as a single father. One day she'd also admit to him that she did indeed love him, not Stefan, but was too proud and stubborn to admit it. She hated that if she wasn't such a bitch she could have had a family. A perfect man in Damon, who was a mixture of kindness, mystery and danger; and a daughter who would have loved her. But she was a selfish idiot and it took her over a hundred years to realise it. She would drum the courage to tell him eventually but first she would start on the slightly easier task, winning over her daughter.

Stefan rushed home pushing the car past its usual speed. He was unsure why he was so nervous; himself, Jasper and Isabella combined could easily match the strength and wit of Katherine. He had also admitted to Elena about Katherine and the doppelganger situation when she found the photo in his drawer, but maybe it was the fact that Elena could see the resemblance in person and make the decision that he did not live her for her but for an attachment to Katherine and his human or maybe it was his worry about his niece, that he would never want Katherine to hurt her or corrupt her. Maybe it was his fear of Damon, or a mixture of this but he just wanted to get them away from the familiar scent. It surprised him when he pulled into the Salvatore Mansion driveway, it was like he was driving home on autopilot while he was lost in his thoughts. He did not wait for the other occupants of the car as he rushed into the house and to the living room where he could tell Damon was sitting.

"What's wrong?" Damon asked noticing the troubled look gracing his brothers features.

"Katherine, she's here!" He whispered panic etched on his face.

I promise the chapter 12 will provide some action I know you guys have been waiting for. But who will we see come for our precious Bella?
