*AN* How are you all liking the story? I know, it's rather confusing at the moment… actually, I am rather confused myself and I am unsure where to go from here. If anyone has any ideas what so ever, please message me.

Again, hope you're enjoying it so far and please review!

Recap:

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.

Chapter 16

Elena's POV

Well. I am absolutely astounded. Klaus never used to have feelings. Did he? When I knew him 1864, he was evil. He ruined my life until I got away from him. Now he wants to get it on with my best friend? Well, I guess on the plus side he might act a bit nicer if he wants me to do something for him. He better be nice, otherwise he will have no Bennett witch to play around with. Literally.

As I left Klaus standing in the middle of the forest, my mind was overwhelmed with a million questions looking for answers and a million thoughts looking for explanations. It felt like my head was going to explode. I sped off at vampire speed to get away from Klaus as quickly as possible. As soon as I got back to the main road, I decided to go to the hospital to check on Bonnie. I had been to see her earlier on today, but I like to make doubly sure she is okay. Also, I want to tell her everything I had just learnt from Klaus. I couldn't tell Stefan- he'd try and kill me again and Damon is dead. So Bonnie it is. She was going to find out as soon as she came out anyway. I just hope she is okay.

Bonnie's POV

I had slept all day in the hospital. I was exhausted. All day my mother had been crowding me with too much attention. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my mother, but sometimes, she smothers me. I hate it.

I finally convinced her to go home because she looked just as exhausted as I felt. So I was left all alone for hours. The nurses came in here every so often, but no one really to talk to.

I was just about to drift off into another sleep when I heard the door open slowly. My head shot up to look at the door. Elena was standing there with a smile on her face.

"Hey, how're you doing?" She asked, walking over to me.

"I'm doing fine, just tired." I replied. I didn't want her to leave, because she would if I told her I was exhausted.

"Oh. Do you want me to leave you to sleep?" She asked.

"No it's fine. I want some company. Besides, I have been sleeping all day." I replied with a chuckle and genuine smile on my face.

"Okay." She replied. I adjusted my position on the bed so I was sitting up as Elena grabbed a chair and placed it in front of the bed. She took a seat and sighed. I frowned as she looked up at me.

After a few moments of silence, Elena spoke.

"Bonnie, I have a few things to talk to you. How much do you remember from the night that Stefan and you had an… 'Argument'?" She asked me.

"Just that Stefan, you and I were all at the Salvatore boarding house and you and Stefan were talking about something. I can't remember anything else. Oh wait! Damon was there as well wasn't he?" I replied.

"Yes we were all at the boarding house and yes Damon was there. But what I told you was wrong." Elena told me.

"What do you mean what you told me was wrong? Stefan and I didn't have an argument? What actually happened Elena Gilbert? Tell me the truth." I was getting angry at her for lying to me.

"Okay, okay. Well, you remember a few months ago we were talking about Stefan maybe being a hunter?"

"Hmm" I answered in response.

"Well, that night, he killed Damon. Damon pissed him off so much that he staked him. Both you and I were shocked and scared. Then, the hunters mark started to grow on his arm. We all saw it. Then, when we had finally moved from our original places, Stefan tried to lunge for me and kill me too. I ran off as fast as I could. I waited a few hundred yards outside the house so I could still hear what was going on. You tried to stop him by grabbing his arm and screaming his name, but he threw you across the room and onto the table. Just before he left the room, you yelped in pain and Stefan stopping his urges to kill me and helped you." She explained.

I just sat in silence, processing all of the information that was just given to me.

"This was all over the daylight ring? I remember now. Damon was going to hurt me because I gave him a fake ring, so Stefan killed him." I said, the memories flowing back into the front of my mind. I remembered the pain I felt when I landed on the table, how Damon looked when Stefan had killed him. I was getting very overwhelmed by all of this. I started to cry. Elena stood up and came over to me and I hugged her and wept onto her shoulder. We stayed like that for a good few minutes. I needed to let it all go.

My sobs started to die down and I was just sniffling. Elena moved to get me a tissue. She handed it to me and I gave her a thankful look. She smiled.

"I'm sorry, Elena. I don't even know why I am crying." I say, with an unsure laugh in the middle.

"It's okay; you're allowed to be upset. It's all very overwhelming. But don't worry, I will sort this out. I will get help for Stefan and he won't hurt me or you again." Elena said with a reassuring smile. I smiled back, but I was completely unsure of what she was going to do.

"Anyway, I need to go now. I have a few errands to run for Jenna. I'll come back tomorrow." Elena says to me.

"Okay, see you then Elena." I reply as I give her a hug.

She turns to walk away and gets to the door before stopping. She turns around.

"Oh, Bonnie. I told someone I'd give you this. Just look at it and I'll explain it another time." I looked confused as she handed me a picture of a tall, fair-haired man. He was rather handsome. She turned around and walked out of the door.

"Wait, who is this?" I say but she was already gone. Damn. Oh well, I'll talk to her tomorrow about it. Now, I just want to sleep.

I put the picture down on the bedside table and laid there as I drifted off into a deep sleep.

Klaus' POV

All I have been thinking about is the Bennett witch. Well, I suppose I am actually going to have to use her first name, not 'The Bennett Witch'. Bonnie. What a beautiful name. It rolls off of the tip of the tongue. Bonnie. I decided to go to the hospital where she was staying. It was the middle of the night so she should be asleep and there shouldn't be many nurses around to kick me out. I left my house and headed to the hospital. When I got there, there was a bratty nurse sitting in the reception. I tried to walk past her but she wouldn't let me.

"Excuse me, sir. You cannot go into the wards at this time. Visiting hours start at 8am and finish at 8pm. It's almost 4am. You can't enter." The nurse tells me. I walked over to her and grabbed her shoulders so she couldn't move and made her stare into my eyes.

"You will let me through with no questions asked and you will forget I ever came past here." I compelled her.

"I will let you through with no questions asked." She replied, repeating what I had said. I left her at vampire speed and went to find Bonnie.

I was walking around the wards for about 5 minutes until I saw a light turn on. I hid behind a wall and peeked around it to see what was going on. I saw a short, dark haired girl coming out of her room and going into the bathroom. I stood and waited at the wall until the bathroom door opened again and the girl came back out and entered her room. I was curious about this because I was very sure it was Bonnie who had woken up and gone to the bathroom. I silently crept over to the window of the room the girl was in. The room's light was still on but the blinds were drawn. So I decided to look through the gaps in between each blind. I could just about make out a face. Bonnie's face. I sighed when I saw it was her.

Suddenly, she jolted her head to face where I was standing. I saw her coming over to the door and before I could get away she came out of her room and stopped me. Shit.

"Excuse me? Are you looking for someone? Are you even allowed to be here at this time of night?" She asked me.

"Uh yes I am. The nurse at the front of the hospital told me that I could come in. And yes I am looking for someone. I thought she might be in your room, but apparently not. Thanks anyway." I replied. That was one of the fastest things I have ever come up to. I'm sure that if I had a beating heart it would be trying to jump out of my chest.

"Oh okay. Hold on… Do I know you? I recognise you from somewhere… Wait here." She tells me. I stay put. I'm not going to walk away from the only interaction I have had with her since I first saw her. She came back out with a picture in her hand. She motions for me to come closer to her, into the light. I could see that the picture she was holding was a picture of me. Elena had kept her word and given her the picture.

"You're the guy from the picture. My friend Elena gave me this picture of you. It' a rather old picture, but you look the same as you do now… You're a vampire?" She asks. I motion for her to go into her room and she complies. I follow her inside and shut the door.

"I guess Elena hasn't told you about me then?" I ask her.

"No, all she did was give me this picture. Who the hell are you?" She asks. She seems so confused.

"My name is Klaus. I knew Elena when she first turned in 1864." I tell her. She cringes at my name. She knows it was me who drove her off of Wickery Bridge.

"You nearly killed me!" She shouts at me. She tried to get up from her bed, but I move over to her and put my hand on her shoulder gently. She stops struggling.

"Yes, I did and I apologise for it. It was an accident. All I wanted you to do was stop so I could talk to you. But instead you steered into the river. I am very sorry for hurting you." I tell her, staring into her eyes. I'm not compelling her, just staring into her deep, beautiful eyes.

"Okay then. If that is true, what on earth did you want to talk to ME about? I'm not at all interesting." She asks me.

"Au contraire Miss Bennett." I say to her.

"Really?"

"Yes. I knew your ancestors. A lot of them, actually. They were witches. They helped me a lot." I tell her. Her heart is racing. She's scared of me.

"And yes, I am a vampire, but you don't need to be afraid of me. I'm not going to hurt you. I'll do the exact opposite- protect you."

She took a deep breath and her heartbeat slowed. She looked very confused now.

"I am going to leave you now, but ask Elena about me tomorrow. She will explain everything. I apologise for intruding. Sweet dreams, my love."

And with that, I left her sitting on her bed.

*AN*

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I promise, I have an idea for where this is going. Also, just to warn you, there will be more 'M rated' stuff in the next chapter or the chapter after. I'm not sure yet.

So Bonnie met Klaus! And Elena told Bonnie the truth! How is Bonnie taking all of this? Is she going to feel relieved? Happier? Sadder? All will be revealed soon!

Again, Please review and follow!
