Little Gilbert

Can i be your friend?

The Gilbert girls walked through the door. And the house was grand. It was beautiful. Wight walls. Marble floor. People in there ball dresses and suits. Bella in Elena's arms. Bella looking to see if she could see anyone she knows. She sees stefan, miss Lockwood, Matt....... Damon. Bella looked down not wanting to meet his gaze. Bella sees him walking over to Elena and her. Bella whispers in Elena's ear.

"Can I see miss Lockwood please."

Elena nodded and let Bella down. And Damon only a few steps away. Bella runs to miss Lockwood. And starts to talk.

"Hello, miss Lockwood. It's lovely to see you again."

Miss Lockwood bent down and picked Bella up. Bella giggled not noticing the five sets of eyes on her. As miss Lockwood started to great people with Bella. Bella said hello like a good little girl she is. Well that was until Damon came over.

"Hello Carol....Bella"

"Hello." Miss Lockwood saids to Damon as he passes her a glass of champagne. Bella just looks at everyone around the room. Not looking at him. Still upset about what happened.

"Hanging out with your new besties?" Damon asks miss Lockwood with a smirk. But still trying to catch belle's eye.

"I'm the mayor, Damon. When the oldest, deadliest, family of vampires moves into your town, you welcome them with a smile." Miss Lockwood explains with a smile as she sips her glass.

"Hmm, Well at least you know who you're borrowing that cup of sugar from." Damon sasses her.

"I'm trying to protect this town. They've assured me they want peace, and I've assured them that I'd enforce it."

A man comes over looking at Miss Lockwood and Bella. Not believing his eyes. But quickly takes action and walks over to miss Lockwood. Taking her hand and kisses it.

"Mayor Lockwood. We haven't formally met. Kol Mikaelson. I hope your lovely town embraces us just as much as we plan to embrace it."

Damon holds out his hand to shake Kol's hand. While looking at him specially.

"Damon Salvatore. Have we met?"

Kol doesn't shake his hand. And gives him a tight smile.

"I've met a lot of people. And you don't particularly stand out."

Bella giggles as kol smirks in victory. Getting his girl to giggle that step one almost complete. Getting her to like him. Kol winks at Bella then leaves. Wishing he can stay. But patience. Mother said. All in good time. Damon takes bella in his arms and goes to Elena and gives Bella to her. Not before whispering in her ear.

"We will talk later little one. I'm deeply sorry. Please forgive me. I love you."

But before Bella could respond to him. He was walking away towards Stefan. Elena at the drink table got Bella a drink of water. Elena and Bella start to chat as a man came up to them.

"Elena Gilbert, I presume? I'm Finn Mikaelson. You're here to see my mother. With little Bella here."

"Is she here?" Elena wonders as she holds Bella closer.

"Her request did not include your friends." Finn Looked at Bella and smiled. She looked just the same as she did 1000 years ago.

"They're protecting me and Bella. You may not know but your mother's already tried to kill me once."

"If you want to see my mother, you'll need to be alone. With Bella of course. Mother wants to speak to her as well. With you there."

A man walks up the grand stairs And looks at the crowd. He taps his glass and gets everyone to look at him.
