My Light

"Is she asleep?" Klaus asked as I came out the room. Hayley and Hope were laid with her all three of them were asleep "Yeah." I say. "The room next to her is free." He points. I nodded. "I wasn't trying to upset her at dinner." "Thats your twos business." I say not wanting to get in the middle of it. "I was actually going to tell her we were planning to move to mystic falls, to be back together." He tells me. "Hope needs her sister." He added. "I need my little girl... despite her not being so fragile anymore." "She is... she's just got this whole facade going." I inform him. She's extremely fragile and vulnerable. 

"I hope you don't hold this against me as you're trying to get along with me." "That depends on Arabella." I say. "Right." He smiled. It was a nervous smile. "You love her?" I nodded. "Very much." "She wouldn't speak about you... we had to pry it out of her and she'd lash out by the end... like she did today." He informs me. "Just how she deals with grief." I say with shrug. "Connie? That her baby sister?' I nodded. "She never spoke much about her family, paintings." "She paints?" "Well it took some persuading but she did begin to paint in the 50's." I nodded. "She's talented." He tell me. "I know." "Damon." "Look I'm not getting in the middle of your twos complicated relationship... But." I say. "Don't talk to her when she wakes." I tell him. "Not unless you want actual hell here on earth." He scratched the back of her neck. "Don't let her leave without me talking to her." He pleaded. "I don't normally ask snakes for favours but she listens to you." I laughed if only he knew, she doesn't listen to anyone. "I'll do my best."

It was pretty easy to keep her here. She slept the whole day. She woke a few times but rolled over. I laid with her texting Stefan about what had happened. He was worried that something else would happened but I think everyone got their outburst out. 

She slept through the night too waking up Monday morning. "Hey sleepy head." I say to her and she smiled holding herself up with her arms before rolling over and laying back down. "I think 24 hours of sleep is enough you'll desiccate." I tell her half joking. "Sounds blissful." She says her back to me. "It's painful." I correct. "Not as painful as this conversation when I'm trying to sleep." 

"Sissy." Hope comes in. Bella rolled onto her back and picked Hope up sitting her one her tummy. "Morning." "Morning." Bella said back yawning. There was a knock on the partly opened door. "Morning." Klaus said. "Morning." I replied. "Good Morning my sweet girls." He said with a smile. Bella looked Klaus up and down.

"Lets get one thing straight! I'm here for Hope's sake." She said. "Noted." Klas says. "And I'm not feeling too great today so keep your apologies to yourself." Klaus nodded. "I need blood." She said rubbing her face again in attempt to wake herself up. "I can get you that... anything to eat?" "No thank you." So says politely. Klaus returned not too long after with some blood. "Juice." Hope said pointing to the cup. "Adult juice." Bella said back. She drank it quickly and put the cup on the nightstand.

"Can we talk?" He asked her. "I have hope." "Hayley will take her." "No thank you." She said. "Okay." He closed the door leaving us with his child. Clearly who runs this place... never seen Klaus walk away with his tail between his legs.

Elijah came in an hour later. "You know you'll push him so far and he'll snap." He warned. "Let him." She said unbothered. "Arabella you know what your da-"He's not my dad." She warned. "He'll never me my father. never call him that." She said trying to not lose her temper in front of Hope. She was chilling playing with our phones. "Right." Elijah said. "I'm going to take hope for some air... would you like to join us." "I don't feel good." She said handing Hope over to Elijah. "Maybe fresh air will do you good." "I need rest." She said knowing it was from her scream... magic is draining. "Very well." He left.

"You should go." "With Elijah?" Sh nodded. "I'm good." "Freya's going too... just go." She encouraged. "I don't want to leave you alone." "I'm not. Klaus is here some where. If I get sick I'll call for him." She said I believed she would she's not that petty. "Okay." I kissed the top of her head and caught up with Elijah.
