A New Dawn (A Klaus Mikaelson Love Story)

Chapter 10

Bella POV

"Charlie, what are you doing with Klaus and Elijah?" I asked my father. I knew he was going to come to town, and I knew that Elijah and Elena were going for dinner and he was there to pick her up, and I could guess what Klaus was doing here, but what were they all doing here together.

"Oh the cab I was coming in broke down and they gave me a lift saying that they were coming here in the first place. Oh and Elena, how are you honey and I hope Bella staying here until Spring Break isn't a problem." Charlie said and on hearing that I was staying here till spring break Klaus' face lit up and Elijah had a knowing look.

"I'm fine, uncle Charlie and Bella staying here isn't a problem at all, in fact me and Jeremy are so happy that she's staying here. Oh, why don't you all come in?" Charlie came in and kept his duffel bag on the table and turned towards Elijah, Klaus and Elena who were having a silent conversation.

Then Elijah and Elena left for dinner and Charlie grimaced and I knew it was because of the age difference. And then he invited Klaus for dinner. Wow, super awkward, Charlie used to hate Edward and now when he'll know that me and Klaus are now on a complicated status, GREAT.

We sat down for dinner, I remembered Edward and the Cullen's couldn't and wondered if Klaus could eat but then I thought that Elena had breakfast with me and that she and Elijah had gone out for dinner so I guess even Klaus could eat.

"So, Klaus what do you do?" Charlie asked Klaus and I wondered what he would tell since he couldn't tell he's in school or something he's way old for that, 1000 to be presice or maybe 22-23 in physical age.

"I just graduated from the Cranbrook Academy of Arts and am looking for job. But you tell me, I know that Bella and Elena are cousins but I don't know how, are you her mother's brother, if you don't mind me asking Charlie."

"Yes, I'm her mother's brothers Klaus, so who else is in your family?" Charlie asked Klaus. Now I was curious, I had heard from Elena about the Mikealsons but I wanted to hear it from Klaus too see how he managed to explain the human version.

"Oh, my eldest brother Elijah, he's written some books but believe me he has made some really good decisions in business matters, I older brother Finn and my parents died a few years ago, I have a younger brother Kol who goes to Standford and a sister Rebekah, she studies with Jeremy and Elena."

Wow, he made so much of it up, but Cranbrook Academy, I wonder if he's really ever been there but then again he has lived a thousand years, it's possible. Also, I know that when he spoke of his parents and Finn there was a flash of hurt in his eyes.

"So, Bella when will Elena be back?" Charlie asked clearly concerned as to why Elena had gone for dinner with a guy so much older than her.

"Oh don't worry about Elena, my brother is the last person to hurt her." Klaus said just as I was about to answer, he continued. " And Charlie, I need to tell you something"."Sure." Was Charlie's only reply.

"Bella and I like each other". He said.I choked when he said that and Charlie turned to look at me for conformation. And then I thought that if Klaus, a 1000 year old vampire is pretending to be human and has not already has had had Charlie for his dinner since he's my father then I'm gonna stand up for him, I mean us.

"Yes, dad I do like him." I told him dreading whatever that would be coming next. Charlie opened his mouth to say something just as the bell rang. I went and opened it to reveal Elena and Elijah, who both looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Elena POV

We got into the car and drove to the hotel in silence, it wasn't awkward silence it was comfortable silence. We reached the hotel and went inside. Our table was in a corner of the restaurant and judging by the interior and decor, I could tell it was at least a Five-Star hotel. We sat down at the table and placed our orders, I was feeling a little uncomfortable after the discussion I had had with Bella.

"So what is it that you couldn't tell me at your house?"

"I don't know how but Caroline and Stefan think I'm sired to Damon, I mean how is that even possible?" I asked him, knowing and hoping he had the answer to it.

"When a human is turned by a vampire they have feelings for, they get sired to the vampire -" he stopped talking to me staring straight ahead. I turned around to see what it was that caused this distress and I was shocked to see him of all the people in the world. But how could it be, he was dead!

Damon and Stefan never told me he had become a vampire and certainly thought that I was Katherine for he looked angry and confused. And then he was gone, just like that, I mean the way he was looking at me I thought he'd kill me, but the question was: how the hell did he turn, who turned him and what was he doing here in the first place.

I was scared and knowing that he was here Stefan would be guilty and Damon...angry, and both of them confused.

"Did you see him?" I asked Elijah to confirm that I did see him and wasn't hallucinating.

"Yes but how is that possible?"

" I don't know". I replied.

"Let's go and talk to Damon and Stefan about this." He suggested and though I knew that I didn't want to see Stefan now, it was important. I nodded as he paid the bill and we went back to my house. I rung the bell and Bella opened it followed by Klaus and Charlie. Weird, but as weird as the thing or let's say person I saw today.
