His Beauty and Her Beast

nineteen

"When I was turned, I don't remember much and I don't know who turned me. All I remember was being killed by your mother's lover and hearing you crying. I didn't want you thinking I was dead all these years." He says. "I didn't think you would be in this life, but you are."

Eve sighed. "Dad, you have no idea..."

"Klaus explained some of it."

"Did he tell you I was sick and never knew because mom failed to take me to the hospital growing up?" Bobby looked at her shocked. "I'm not going to forgive you, but I think you deserve to know that I had a heart condition that was killing me. Klaus turned me when I was on my death bed." Sighing she stood up and walked to the window. "We started digging more into your death till we found a letter stating you were alive after being declared for ten years."

"And I will do whatever to make it up to you. Tanya can even tell you just how much I tried to get control of my thirst so I can prove I was alive, but I knew, deep down, that you would be angry."

"I'm not ready to meet her as she hid you..."

"She helped me just like Klaus helped you."

Klaus had enough of listening as he saw the anger look on Eve's face. "Eve, why don't you go upstairs and run a hot bath for us. I'll be up there in a few."

Nodding, she walked away causing Klaus to look at Bobby. "Thank you, Klaus."

"Maybe it's time for you and Tanya to go hunt and go home. Eve needs time to cool off and this is still too much. She listened like promised, but she doesn't need to be getting upset because you want to continue talking. Give her time."

Bobby nodded as he went to Tanya and looked back at him. "Thank you."

Klaus nodded as they left causing him to run to the door and lock it before running to Eve. She turned around with no clothes on causing Klaus to look at her. "And I'm so glad to have them leave."

Eve smiled. "Come and get your prize. Thank you."

Taking his shirt off, Klaus walked over to her. "Anything for you."

"I love you."

"I love you."
