A/N: I wasn't going to post this so short but I wanted to leave on a cliffhanger to why her mother interfered and the next chapter should have some brotherly love with Klaus plus some insight on Hayley. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter...it might just be a filler but it does give Elena more of a green with envy character.

Enjoy.

Summary: Caroline's cousin comes to visit, forever? Who is the brunette that came storming into their lives?

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters...sadly I am not Julie Plec.

Because no one finds love, it finds you.

"Have you found them, yet?" asked Bonnie, who looked very excited to watch Bella do magic. She was watching her scry with a white crystal and it glowed when it hit a particular spot on the map. She definitely wanted to meet her mother in the hope that she would teach her in her grandmother's place. Whenever Bella would visit as a kid, her mother was never around long enough to speak to.

"Yes, I have and her location has just pissed me off."

"Why?" asked Bonnie. The other members of the Scooby gang were off scattered. Stefan and Caroline went to patrol Mystic Falls in case Edward wanted to show or another threat. Elena was sitting on the couch feigning indifference as she not-so-subtly watched Bonnie and Bella for the past thirty minutes.

Well, she was mostly watching how wrapped Bella had Damon around her. He looked to be a second skin hanging off her. She hated it because she wanted him. He was supposed to be drooling over her and her role was to then pointedly reject him but be there for him in a typical girlfriend way.

Bella was taking it all away and now she was left with no one because Stefan didn't want anything to do with her. When he came out of Klaus' compulsion, he grew distant from her and cold towards her. He gave up on having a relationship with her and started to focus on himself rather than satisfying his need for the Katherine look-alike.

She truly despised Isabella Marie Swan.

"I'm pissed because she's here."

"In Mystic Falls?" asked Elena, who was now paying attention.

"Yeah, she is at the Grill. I think she is waiting for me."

"You think that's why mother dearest gave you the scorching tattoo this morning." said Damon.

"No, I think she gave me that as protection but also punishment." Bella answered as she winced. The hex was still healing slow even when Damon made her drink some of his blood.

"Well, shall we go see what my future mother-in-law wants?" asked Damon as he waggled his eyebrows at Bella. It only made Bella blush and mad at the same time. But she enjoyed his company, because he wasn't half as bad as Caroline made him out to be. He could be very sweet and attentive.

That only made Elena hate her more.

At the Mystic Grill…

In a booth towards the back, sat a woman Bella knew to be her mother and a man known to be her father. Renee and Charlie was safe and that pushed some guilt away. She was happy that her parents were safe but she felt guilt at knowing that their situation was all her fault.

She hesitated going to meet her parents, but as she went to turn to walk out of the Grill, Damon caught her waist and bent down to her ear and whispered very softly, "It's okay. They still love you."

His voice and breath at her ear sent a few shivers down her spine in a great and pleasurable way. But she didn't want naughty thoughts in her head as she walked to her parent's booth, so she squared her shoulders and clenched her thighs and breathed deeply.

"Mom, dad." Her mother and father both reacted the same. They hugged her with relief in their shoulders and faces and tears in their eyes.

"So, I see you got your mother's message." said her father, who was eyeing Damon carefully.

"Yes, we did, and all I have to ask is what is the meaning of all this."

A/N: Again, so sorry it's short but it won't be for long. I am still getting in the habit of writing again. Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed this and there should be a new chapter tomorrow or the next since I work all night these days.
