A few days later, Leanne arrived in Mystic Fall's and went immediately for a drink at the Mystic Grill before she went to get her daughter at the address she had been given. She spotted a nice looking young man that was drinking some bourbon and sat next to him.

"Why hello there… Are you new in town?" The blue eyed man asked in a flirty voice.

"Yes, I just arrived." Leanne replied as she ordered some Bourbon as well.

"Business or pleasure?"

"I'm here to get my daughter back!" She replied.

"I'm Damon by the way, Damon Salvatore." He introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you Damon, I'm Leanne, Leanne Mars!"

"Mars? As in Veronica Mars? She's the daughter you want to get back?" Damon asked with surprise.

"Do you know her?" Leanne was surprised too.

"Yes, she's something!" Damon replied as he finished his drink and asked for another one.

"Yes, she gets that from me!" Leanne said proudly, catching Damon's interest.

"You know, it's still early and she won't be out of school until 2 hours at least… If you want we could go back to my place for some more fun…" Damon said, wiggling his eyebrow.

"Sure, let's go!"

Damon was surprised, he was expecting to have to compel her but apparently, she wasn't a very different mother than Matt Donovan's mother… Maybe they should form a club, along with isobel and a couple ofothers...

So he took her home with him and to his bedroom, trying to convince himself it was Veronica and not her mother.

.

"Well, this was fun but I have to go find her now!" Leanne said as she got out of the bed and got dressed.

"Sure thing, you do that!" Damon replied.

He was disappointed… it hadn't been as good for him as he had expected it to be…

.

Leanne left and soon found herself in front of the big house where her daughter supposedly lived. She had enjoyed this little session with Damon and felt relaxed and sure of herself. Confidently, she walked to the big door and rang the door bell.

.

Veronica was back from school and spending some time with Sage and Rebekah, whom she loved like a mother for Sage and like a sister for Rebekah when the doorbell rang. A maid came in the room, followed closely by a blond woman.

"Mom?" Veronica said as she stood up.

"Veronica… Oh I've missed you so much!" Leanne said as she started to walk toward her daughter to hug her.

Veronica took a step back.

"What are you doing here?" Veronica asked coldly.

"Veronica, I came to have a second chance… I've missed you so much… I don't know why you're here and not with your father but…" She was cut off by Veronica:

"My father died! Maybe you forgot about it because you didn't go to the funeral but he died saving my life the night you stole our money!" Veronica snapped.

At this moment, Klaus walked in the room, followed by Weevil who whispered in his ear that the woman was Veronica's mother. Klaus went to wrap an arm around his love's waist.

"Who are you?" Leanne asked quite rudely.

"I'm Klaus, this is my house and I believe Veronica doesn't want you here!" Klaus replied.

"I'm her mother, I have a right to be wherever she is! You can't keep her away from me, I have rights!" Leanne said. The alcohol could be smelled on her breath.

"You have no rights anymore mom, you left! Plus, I'm 18 and can go wherever I want and do whatever I want!" Veronica snapped.

"Don't be ridiculous Veronica, you need your mother!" Leanne snapped.

"No, I needed a mother back when I buried my father and had to live at my dead best friend's house with a woman who despised me!" Veronica yelled, shaking with anger.

"I think it's time for you to leave!" Sage growled, her eyes wide, compelling the woman.

"Don't ever think of coming back! I've bet on you too many times before and I lost every time! Not anymore!" Veronica added.

Leanne nodded and walked back toward the door, not understanding why she was giving up.

"Why did she have to come back?" Veronica cried with anger.

"Don't worry Veronica, I'll go catch up with her right now and compel her to stay away from you and this house for good!" Sage promised before she kissed Veronica's forehead and left the house, followed closely by Finn.

Veronica stayed in Klaus' arms for the night and enjoyed the peace he was providing her. She was safe and her mother wouldn't hurt her ever again!


I hope you're not disappointed by the way I wrote this one...
