They arrived at the Lockwood's and Klaus kept his arms around Veronica's waist at all times. He didn't know what was coming and he was afraid of letting her go… Afraid someone would hurt her… He knew he couldn't loose her and would do his best to keep her safe.

The blond PI got to meet the doppelganger soon after they arrived and felt immediately that there was something wrong but she kept it to herself. She didn't want to burden Klaus with some instinct that could be wrong after all.

Then Klaus introduced her to Stefan Salvatore whom Klaus freed from his compulsion before the young man could ask anything, surprising everyone.

"Why did you do it?" Stefan asked Klaus as the hybrid and his date turned around to go to the bar.

"Because it wasn't right of me to do it in the first place and I'm willing to try and make things right… You're free mate… But I wish you would give our old friendship a chance…" Klaus replied as he turned around, leaving the young vampire deep in thoughts.

"Thanks Klaus!" Stefan replied too late but he knew the hybrid would have heard him since he wasn't too far… Whoever this young blond human was, she had done wonders on Klaus and deserved a medal!

Then Veronica met a witch, Bonnie and Tyler's date Caroline. Both girls were surprise to see her and obviously didn't like or trust Klaus. But it didn't matter to her, she would manage to change their mind with time… She would be seeing them in school soon and she would try to show them just how changed Klaus was now.

Both her and Klaus were having a lot of fun until one of the hybrids came:

"Mickeal is at the front door… he tried to compel us… We're acting like it's working but we're ready to jump on him if you want…"

"Thanks mate… Surround him, I'll be right there… Don't let him know that you're not compelled though…" Klaus told the hybrid who nodded and left.

Then he turned toward Veronica, whom he was still holding very close to his side.

"Stay here Love, he can't get inside." He told Veronica before he turned to head to the door.

"I'm coming with you!" Veronica said softly but in a hard tone.

She couldn't bare the idea of him far from her when there was such danger around. She needed to be close to him, to see what was happening…

Klaus rolled his eyes, knowing there was no use in discussing this with her, she was just as stubborn as he was.

He motioned for Weevil and Rebekah to stand closer and reminded Weevil with one look that his duty was to protect Veronica before anything else.

Earlier, while Rebekah and Veronica were getting ready, Klaus had told his hybrids that Veronica's safety was to come before his or anyone else's. He didn't want her getting hurt and was ready to sacrifice everything to ensure she was safe.

When they got to the door, Mickeal was there, holding the doppelganger in a tight grip.

"Hello Niklaus… Long time no see." Mickeal said.

Veronica automatically stepped closer to the man she knew she loved as she looked at the doppelganger closer. She didn't look as scared as she should have been…like she knew she wasn't really in danger… Of course Veronica couldn't say anything without Mickeal hearing her so all she could do is hope that Klaus would have noticed it too.

"Mickeal…" Klaus greeted the man.

Then they exchanged pleasantries and insults for a few minutes.

Veronica was glad that Klaus managed to keep his calm. She knew he had a bit of a temper and it didn't take a genius to realize Mickeal was trying to get him to lose it by attacking him on his pride, his childhood… She personally hated the way he kept calling her Love BOY.

Mickeal threatened to kill Elena and Klaus said he didn't care, that he didn't need her anymore and the fact that he was obviously not bluffing was upsetting Mickeal even more.

"I see you've taken to compelling yourself dates to high school parties now… That's very pathetic behaviour you know…" Mickeal told the hybrid that brought shame on him when he was still human.

"Excuse me but who are you to assume things like this? Klaus isn't using me and you really should get your facts straight before you start talking and accusing!" Veronica snapped, trying to walk forward but being held back by Klaus and Weevil.

"Calm down Love… Don't let him get to you… Come on, stay inside where you're safe…" Klaus whispered in her ears.

Mickeal was shocked.

Klaus cared? Why? How?

It was impossible…

"So the big bad wolf has a weakness after all…" The elder Original said in awe.

"It's not a weakness, it's a strengths!" Klaus snapped as Rebekah stepped forward and said:

"Don't you dare attack Nik on his feelings for Veronica… She managed to cure him of what you stole from us all… She gave him back his humanity…" The blond vampire had fire in her eyes.

"I see you forgave him for killing your mother…I didn't take you to be this weak…" Mickeal tried to hit her where it hurt and she was ready for it. She had been expecting it.

"He had his reasons… But he also was the only one to always be by my side in the last thousand years… It was always him who protected me and kept me safe… I can't forget that!" She told her father.

"He's manipulating you just like he is manipulating this weak human girl…" Mickeal said, upsetting Veronica even more…

Then she took her taser out Weevil said:

"Where did you hide that thing under that dress?" he was surprised and Klaus chuckled softly: "She always finds a way…"

Also it was obvious that he, too, was wondering the same thing… The dress was pretty tight and there wasn't many places she could have hidden it…

Klaus saw his hybrid slowly stepping forward but he motioned for them to stop. Mickeal turned and looked surprised. He thought he had the group of hybrids compelled and now he realized that he had been fooled… He wasn't as well protected as he thought he was…

Mickeal didn't want to believe what he had been told and kept on trying to get Klaus to get mad and come to him.

When he stabbed Elena in the back, they all realized it was really Katherine when she got up and threw vervain and wolf's bane grenade on the hybrids before running away. Veronica knew right away that she didn't like the vampire doppelganger… It also explained why she didn't trust her from the beginning… Her instinct had told her she wasn't the real Elena…

Just then, Damon jumped on Klaus and Veronica yelled a big heart breaking "NO!", tasering Damon immediately.

The blue eyed vampire took the stake out of Klaus' stomach and threw it away on the floor while Weevil helped Klaus up. Veronica noticed that the stake had been thrown close to her and it was far from Klaus… Just then, she saw Lilly again… He dead friend winked, giggled and pointed to the stake. Veronica nodded and pushed it toward Klaus with her foot so that he could grab it and use it.

The original hybrid immediately grabbed the white oak stake that had been shoved his way and ran to stab Mickeal.

Veronica turned toward the place were Lilly was standing and saw that she was gone, the sound of her laugh still fresh in her mind.

"What's wrong V?" Weevil asked her when he saw her looking around frantically.

"You didn't see her?"

"See who?" he asked, confused.

"Lilly… She was here…She…" Veronica didn't continue her sentence.

"I didn't see anything V…"

"It's okay… Maybe I was dreaming or something…" She said.

"Klaus will have his witches looking into it… Don't worry V." The biker said as he held the other vampire in place forcefully.

As soon as the original father's body caught fire, Klaus went to check if Veronica was fine while Rebekah helped Weevil holding Damon down.

"Veronica Love… Are you okay… Is everything alright?" He asked her as he ran his hands over her body to check on her.

"Yes, I'm fine Klaus… Don't worry… I'm okay…" She reassured him while she, herself checked if the wound Damon had made in his stomach was really healing.

"Don't worry, it's healing… I'll be as good as new in a few more minutes." He reassured her, knowing she was just as worried as he was.

"Don't be too harsh on him please… He just did what he thought was best for the people he loves…" Veronica whispered in her love's ear as he hugged her close to him, happy to be still alive and with her in his arms. He had really been afraid of loosing her.

Then Klaus walked to Damon:

"I'm letting you go. I'm warning you though, you come after me or my family and I will end you. I don't need Elena's blood anymore… She's safe. Your brother is free too." Klaus said before he led Veronica to his car to leave this party. He had enough of it and was ready to go home with the girl he loved.


This one was longer because I didn't feel like cutting it in the middle of the action.
