Bella sat on the couch listening to her daughter explain the talk she had with Klaus. None of it made any sense. Why would Klaus suddenly develop an interest in her daughter's happiness? She watched as her daughter's expression changed a little when she heard or said the name Klaus. She didn't like this situation at all or where it was heading.

Bella sighs heavily, "This has to be a trap. He knows something. He knows something about what you wanted to do and he is using letting me go as some sort of setup."

Kylie shakes her head, "That is not true. He really wants to make me happy. I saw his face. You-"

Bella stands up and faces her daughter, "No! You listen to me! He is the reason that I am a vampire! He is the reason that I couldn't raise you! He is not the good guy! He is the guy who kills people when he is bored! You will stay away from him."

Kylie frowns, "You can't tell me what to do or who to be around. Everyone has done badly in their past. He just needs someone who can help him see the good in him.

Bella laughs, "There is no good in him! He is the bad that has done everything he can to make all of our lives miserable. Look what he did to you. He turned you into a hybrid…" She trails off and gasps with realization, "You are sired to him. That's what it is. We can fix this. I know who can help."

Kylie rolls her eyes, "I am not sired to him. When he gave me a direct command I didn't follow it. Like I said what I felt between us was real. There is a connection."

Bella closes her eyes, "No, you can't see him. I won't allow it."

Kylie laughs, "And who are you to say who I can and cannot see? You gave up that right when you gave me away." She turns around and walks up the stairs, slamming her door.

Bella sinks down on the couch and runs her hand through her hair, "What am I going to do?"

Damon walks over and sits next to her, "Bella, don't you think you are being a little hard on her? Maybe she can make him better."

Bella looks at him incredulously, "Are you kidding me? Klaus is the bad guy, remember? He is just going to hurt her and I can't let that happen."

Stefan walks over, "But if you demand her not to do something then she is going to want to do it even more."
Elena nods, "Yeah that is like teenager 101. We do the opposite of everything that we are told."

Bella laughs, "This is different than that. This is Klaus. I know Klaus. He won't see her as someone to love and cherish, but as someone he owns. I can't let her go through what I did."

Damon grabs her hand, "It has been a long day. We should get some sleep and figure all this out in the morning."

Bella nods and gets up, "I should at least talk to her. Apologize for my behavior."

Damon shakes his head, "You need to give her time. Let her come to you. It will be better. She might be more willing to listen if you let her take a minute to think."

Bella shakes her head, "No. She is my daughter. I am going to talk to her."

Damon sighs as he watches her walk upstairs. He shakes his head and walks into his room to take a shower.

Kylie sits in her room listening to every word. She would prove them wrong. Klaus was different than they thought. He had proved that by letting her mother go. She opened the window and jumped down. She loved that she could do that now. She sped off into the forest and towards his house. She would get the answers she needed.

Klaus answers the door and grins, "Hello, love. I had a feeling you would be coming to see me."

Kylie crosses her arms, "Was it all a trick? Or did you really want to make me happy. I don't like being messed with and if I am going to defend you on this I need the truth. And I need your word that you will give it to me."

Klaus steps back and gestures for her to come in, "I give you my word that everything I say is the truth and I don't break my word."

Kylie nods and walks into the living room, "Good. Why did you let Bella go? Was it really to make me happy or was it to get me to come here?"
Klaus laughs gently, "You are a brave girl to come here. I let her go because you asked me to because you do intrigue me and I want to know why. Though getting you here was a bonus. Please do come in, darling."

Kylie stepped through the door and was led to the living room. She looked around at all the beautiful decorations, "This is such a lovely house. I don't think I have ever seen anything so…extravagant."

He laughs and gestures for her to sit, "Thanks and please sit. Can I get you anything?"

She shakes her head, "No thank you." They sit there in silence for a minute. Kylie sighs, 'This is awkward. I mean you have done a lot of harm to my family and…you dated my mother. That is just…awkward. But I feel this tug…like there is some invisible thread between us. Do you feel it too? Or am I just crazy?"
He sits on the table in front of her and smiles warmly, "You aren't crazy. I have never felt something like this before and if I had known that you…that you were…I don't know how to explain it. I just know that if I could change everything that I have done that has caused you any pain or loss I would take it back. I have never wanted to be with someone as much as I want to be with you. And I have never considered anyone before myself…until you."

Rebekah laughed, "Well isn't this cozy?" She walked in closer, "I have never seen you so…infatuated? I love this."

Kylie frowned up at her, "Who are you?"

Klaus growled, "This is my little sister. Rebekah."

Kylie smiles broadly, "Really?" She stands up and walks closer to her, "I can see the family resemblance. You are gorgeous." Kylie shook her head, "Sorry. I am Kylie."

Rebekah grins, "Nice to meet you." She circles Kylie slowly, "I like you. You are adorable and absolutely beautiful."

Klaus frowns, "Are you two falling in love with each other?"

Kylie rolls her eyes, "No, don't be silly."

Rebekah laughs, "As the only sister in this family I have to make sure I approve of your girlfriends. And I approve of this one."

Klaus sighs, "She isn't my girlfriend. We just met."

Rebekah snaps around so fast Klaus winces, "Well you better make her your girlfriend. I will not go back to the old Klaus who only thought of himself."

Kylie tilts her head to the side, "We met only a few hours ago." She shakes her head, "No that isn't true. We first met when he killed me and turned me into a hybrid. But we didn't talk much."

Rebekah groans, "I am going for a walk."

Bella stood outside of Kylie's door debating whether or not she should knock. She knew that her daughter was pissed at her and she couldn't blame her. She had overreacted and started to be the type of mother she never wanted to be. She was just so afraid that Kylie would get herself hurt. She shakes her head. Damon was right. She should let Kylie come to her. She turns back and walks into Damon's room.

He walks out of his bathroom with a towel around his waist, his hair dripping from the shower, and smiles at her, "Finally decided to listen to me."

Bella laughs, "Just this once. Don't let it go to your head." She stares at his chest, "You know it's hard for me to concentrate when you aren't wearing a shirt."

He smiles broadly and walks toward her seductively, "Really? What would happen if I…" He dropped the towel so he was standing front of her naked.

Bella laughed and shook her head, "I would…" She walks closer until she was right in front of him, "take a shower. It has been such a long day." She sighs overdramatically, "I just feel so dirty."

He grabs her by the back of the neck and pulls her so close that every inch of them was touching except their lips, "Have I told you lately how much I love you?"

Bella smiles lovingly, "No. You should really do that more often."

He grins and kisses her. In that moment Bella was in heaven. She couldn't imagine spending another day without Damon.
