When Marie ran up the stairs I could only imagine one of two people being on the other side. Her father or Max, I opened up the door not surprised at all that it was Max.

"Max, good to see you again." I said, "Let's walk shall we?" he nodded.

"Elijah, it's been a while brother." He told me as we walked away from the house.

"That it has, last I saw you, you and Marie were happy. Tell me what happened?" he looked down.

"I had to leave." He whispered.

"What happened?" I asked.

"After I was turned I made enemies, some cold ones, who I never thought I'd see again. I got word that they were coming after me, their numbers had grown, and I was afraid of Iz getting caught in the middle of it, so I left her. I knew they would follow me. I found out that they had joined a powerful group of cold ones, who call themselves the Volturi. I didn't want her to get hurt. It's been years, they stopped looking for me, but I don't think they've ever forgotten. I tried looking for you after I left her, thought you could help. I didn't mean to hurt her, I just wanted to keep her safe."

"I understand your reasoning for doing it, it was stupid though. If you would have told her-" he cut me off.

"She would have followed me, she would have died for me. I didn't want that. She saved me."

" I know," I looked down to him. " You can't be here Max, she doesn't want you here. She still hurts for you. If you really care about her, give her some time. I give you my word that I will look out for her."

"Elijah, he's your brother. If it came down to it." He paused and looked down.

"I will protect her, she's not as fragile as you make her out to seem."

"I know that, I just worry."

"Leave that to me, if she changes her mind about you, I promise to find you." He nodded and took off running, I sighed. Things looked so bad for her right now. I felt for my friend, who I used to consider my sister.

"Why do you treat me differently?" I asked Klaus, a few hours later.

"I don't think I do." He smirked.

"So you comfort all your minions as well? Even tony?" I giggled. He semi glared at me.

"I don't treat you any differently than you treat me."

"What do you mean?"

"You defend me, and comfort me, you try to protect me."

"It's what I've done for a while." I told him.

"Why can't I do that for you? You don't have to be here anymore, yet you stay. Can't I just show my gratitude for you?"

"That's what this is? Gratitude, for my loyalty?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Partly."

"What's the other part?" I asked.

"Do you really want to know? It could change everything." He said.

"It's better to know the whole truth, then to hide everything." I told him.

"Good words. Very well, in the beginning you were only something I couldn't have, I didn't know why I wanted you, but I knew I had to have you. Then I found you intriguing. You weren't scared of me. You challenged me. When you turned your emotions off, I saw a partner in crime, someone who could keep up with me diabolically, and physically. When you gave yourself to me, something changed, I saw you as someone who could help fill the void I was feeling. When I realized your emotions were coming back to you, and you stayed the same with me, I thought maybe, you could be my companion. Then as I started to see the real you, I thought more of you, until I realized something." I couldn't help but stare at him.

"What?" I asked. I was completely taken back by his speech.

"I want you, like I've never wanted anyone else. I don't only want your body, I want your mind. I don't just want the obedient ripper, I want the woman who challenges me. I want all of you Isabella, the light and the dark. You make me feel like I've never felt before."

"Klaus," I whispered. " I'm damaged goods. I can't go through this again. You can't fix this, you would always only have part of me." I told him honestly.

"I'm not expecting us to ride off into the sunset love, I only want to tell you, and so there isn't any more confusion. You don't have to decide what you want right now, but someday, when you realize you want more from me, I will be here patiently waiting." I was dumbfounded, did the hybrid just declare himself to me. He leaned down, and kissed me, then rested my head back on his chest. He held me tight, and that is exactly how I fell asleep.
