A New Dawn (A Klaus Mikaelson Love Story)

Pain

Bella POV

Me, Klaus and Phil were the last ones to arrive at the dinning table and we quickly sat down. I felt quite awkward but I think it was only me because everyone else was talking to each other. I don't know why but suddenly I felt very angry, and at that very moment a sharp pain shot through my right leg and I cried out in pain.

"Ahh, ouch" suddenly everyone stopped eating and looked at me.

"Bella are you okay?" Klaus, who was sitting on my right, asked me.

"I...I, my leg just suddenly started paining, I don't know why". I said and then squeezed my eyes shut.

"Bella did you fall somewhere?" Phil asked me.

"No". I shook my head "but it really hurts".

"Okay, Bella" I turned to look at Klaus, who was looking at me caringly "I think you need to lie down". He said and quickly got up from his chair and helped me to get up. My mom, Phil, Damon and Caroline all crowded around me. I stood up with Klaus' help but let out a yelp when I pressed down on my foot.

"Can you carry her upstairs Klaus? I don't think she'll be able to walk". Phil said while mom nodded behind him.

Klaus looked at me, asking for my permission and I nodded conspicuously. He then wrapped an arm around my waist and the other one on the underside of my knees and picked me up, bridal style, as if I weighed nothing and I'm pretty sure that I do weigh nothing to him, I mean an all powerful hybrid and a human, no comparisn.

He took me up the stairs with everyone else trailing behind us and I clutched his jacket tighter in my fingers as if afraid to fall. He looked into my eyes for a second before coming upto a closed door which Damon opens and he carries me inside and sets me down on the bed.

"Damon, can you get a pillow from downstairs?" Klaus asks Damon, asks, politely, wow.

"Yes". Then my mom gives Klaus the other pillow on the bed.

"Which leg is hurting, love?" He asked me, and at that moment his British accent is very clear. It's sexy.

"The right one". I whimper as he picks up my leg and places the pillow underneath it, at the same time Damon comes in and places two more pillows on it so that my leg is elevated.

"Bella" I turn to look at my mom who is looking at me with concern "what about dinner?"

"Mom, I'm not that hungry". Klaus and my mom both frown at this and I almost laugh at how familiar they look at the moment, but, fortunately, I control myself.

"How about this Bella?" Klaus started and I wondered what he was going to suggest "I'll bring your food here, you eat as much as you want and whenever you want, and I'll take it back downstairs. " I open my mouth to protest, but he beats me to it "no, please love eat something, you haven't eaten at all today."

I look into his pleading eyes and know that there is no way that I could ever say 'no' to him for anything and nod.

Soon they all left the room and I felt very scared. I didn't know how I felt about Klaus, I mean obviously I was his mate, so there was going to be some attraction, but my feelings were growing deeper and deeper with everything that was happening.

The door opened again and Klaus walked in with two plates in both of his hands, one of which he gave to me. Oddly enough, now that the food was in front of me, pasta and garlic bread, I suddenly felt hungry and dug in.

Halfway through I heard a chuckle erupt from somewhere and sure enough it was Klaus laughing at me. I was getting angry, this wasn't the best position to eat in and here he was laughing.

"Mom, I'm not that hungry". He said imitating me, making his voice shrill and high-pitched. I felt my jaw drop at that.

"I do not sound like that".

"Oh yes you do, love, but you know what, it's music to my ears". He says and I decided to play along with him and huffed.

"Wow Klaus, you really do have a talent to make a girl feel special, huh, more like dumb". I whispered the last part, knowing full well he could hear me.

"I'm sorry love, but it's not my fault your voice is so shrill". He said as he burst out laughing and, a few moments later, I joined him laughing along with him. Damon and Caroline probably think we've gone mad, but I'm happy. And the way Klaus looked right now, he actually looked like a carefree teenager not a thousand year old hybrid everyone wanted to kill.

After what seemed like an hour we both stopped laughing and finished dinner.

"Do you want more?" He asked me.

"No, that was enough". He nodded and took our plates downstairs and was soon back with a glass of water, which I thankfully accepted. And then I remembered something.

"Um..Klaus?" He turned to look at me, I swallowed once "I need to go to the washroom".
