*AN* Sorry for the short update last time… hopefully this one will be longer!

Just saying, I know Bonnie saw the hunters tattoo in a few chapters ago. This is an A/U so the hunters mark is seen by everyone. Sorry if this confused anyone.

Enjoy!

Recap:

Well, you and Stefan were arguing and you tripped over something and landed on your back on the coffee table." She said, with a glow in her eyes. I didn't think she was telling the truth, but I'll ask later.

"Ah ok." I replied.

I am pretty sure I heard her sigh after that, but I wasn't completely sure.

Chapter 15

Elena's POV

Okay, I told a white lie to Bonnie. Yeah, she and Stefan did have an argument, but she didn't trip, Stefan pushed her. I can't stay here, unless Stefan is locked away so he doesn't kill me or hurt anyone else. I will tell her eventually, just not now. She has too much to worry about without having the worry of me on her hands. She needs to heal.

I left Bonnie at the hospital so she could rest. When I got into the outside world, I suddenly felt ill. I felt almost sick. I was sick with worry. It was all about Stefan. I was worried he was going to come out of nowhere and kill me, find Bonnie and hurt her even more, or if he would just calm down. I needed to find a way to get him to stop. And I know just who to talk to.

Klaus' POV

I had been coasting on the outskirts of Mystic Falls for a few months, watching the Bennett witch. She was so… there are no words to describe her. She is amazing. That night that I threw her off the bridge was an accident. I was trying to get her to stop so I could introduce myself, not to drive her off the bridge and nearly kill her. I was trying to be subtle. But now little old Elena knows that I'm close by, she is getting very protective of her. If only I could convince Elena that I didn't want to hurt Bonnie. She would never-

I get pulled out of my thoughts by my vampire senses picking up. I was in a house in the middle of a forest, completely in the middle of nowhere. I could hear a young girl's voice. She knew I was there. She was calling my name.

"Klaus? Klaus!? I know you're around here somewhere! Get your sorry ass out here you son of a bitch!" she called. I had an idea who it was.

I sped out of my house as fast as I could as I followed the sound of the young girl's voice. I found her and stood behind her.

"Ah if it isn't the little protective Elena Gilbert. I thought I might be seeing you soon." I said in my softest British tone.

"Cut the crap, Klaus! Why the hell did you try and kill Bonnie!? She doesn't even know you, yet you try and kill her! What is wrong with you?" Elena yelled at me.

"Alright love calm down." I replied. She just glared.

"One, it was an accident. I wasn't trying to kill her. Two, what do you want?" I ask.

"I'll tell you why I'm here in a minute. If you didn't mean to kill her, what were you trying to do, teach her to swim?!" She shot back at me.

"No! I…" I started to blush.

"Come on Klaus! Tell me." She taunted.

"I have been creeping around here for a few months now and I couldn't keep my mind off of one person. She looked so much like her ancestor. If you hadn't realised, Elena, I have feelings too. I used to be in love with one of the Bennett witches hundreds of years ago and when she was killed, I have never been the same since. She was amazing, radiant, beautiful, everything that I could ever imagine. And from watching this generation of the Bennett witch, she has brought back my humanity. Not all of it, but the feelings I had for her hundreds of years ago have come rushing back." I explained. Elena just stood there taking it all in. I was just about the talk again when she started to talk.

"Wait, wait, wait. You're telling me that you are in love with Bonnie? But you… you hate everyone! You have always tried to bring harm to anyone who got in your way!" She shouted at me, completely baffled by what I had told her.

"I am not all evil." I told her.

"Anyway, enough about me. What do you want?" I asked her.

"Oh, right. Well, funnily enough it's about your lover Bonnie, and my lover Stefan. It has turned out that Stefan is a hunter. Last night, he killed his brother Damon who was a vampire and the hunters mark started to grow on his arm. He tried to kill me so Bonnie tried to stop him, but he was too strong and he threw her across the room. She is in hospital now but only with minor injuries. She will be fi-"

"That son of a bitch! I'm gonna kill him! How dare he try to hurt Bonnie? I swear to God he is a dead man!" I scream.

"NO! Klaus calm down! Bonnie is fine! She will be out in a few days! I came here to get help from you! I don't know how to stop Stefan without him turning into a vampire! Please help me Klaus! I'm begging you!" She shouted in my face.

I started pacing back and forth trying to find a way around this. I wasn't doing this for Elena, but for Bonnie. I was thinking so hard. I couldn't think of a way around this.

"There isn't another way around this. It will be almost impossible for us to kill Stefan with vampire blood in his system. Ask Bonnie when she comes out of hospital, she might know a spell to trick him into loving you as you are again, but I make no promises." I tell her.

She sighs. "I don't have any idea. Maybe, if Bonnie can't find a spell, maybe I could trick him into drinking vampire blood, but it would be hard to do. Not just technically, but for me. I don't want him to enter this life as an immortal being with the regrets and guilt that we vampires face." She says.

"I know, Elena. It's horrible." I tell her. We stand there in silence for a few moments.

"Thanks for the help." Elena says, seeming disappointed.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help more." I say to her. I genuinely mean it. I don't like this side of me. I don't usually act like this.

"It's okay." She tells me.

She turns to go away when stop her.

"Elena?"

"Yeah?"

"Could you tell Bonnie about me? I mean, I want to introduce myself, but if you talk to her first about me, it might start a conversation. I'm not good at the whole 'flirting' thing." I ask her.

"Sure thing, Klaus. See you around." She says, and then she is gone in the blink of an eye.

Well that was successful, I think to myself.

*AN* I know this chapter was short, but we got Klaus back! And we found out the truth behind Bonnie being driven off the bridge!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please, please, please review and follow!

Thanks!
