Chapter 05<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Mystic Falls, February 12th, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had been nearly two years since she saved Damon from desiccating himself because he didn\u2019t want to live without Elena. Nearly two years since she and Kol got married after a thousand years. Life was pretty good, her trees were doing well. Especially Ezekiel, who she planted in New Orleans. The soil had done him some good and, according to all the other trees, he had started to repair himself again and grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She and Kol hadn\u2019t been back to New Orleans since their wedding for various reasons. One of them being Damon. Despite having Kol have compelled the desire to desiccate himself out of Damon, he was still depressed. Sure, Isa kept him busy by telling him what to do in Mystic Falls to help rebuild the city after they finally got rid of Julian and killed the remaining opposing heretics. Valerie, who had been an ally, had taken off and nobody had heard from her since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019d been able to stay hidden from the mess that Stefan and Damon had originated by pulling Damon\u2019s mother out of the prison world because her cabin was a secret and well protected from magic. If you didn\u2019t know about it, you were not going to find it. It\u2019s what kept her safe all these years. The witch Ayana had always been good to her once she found her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yes, she had said that she wouldn\u2019t meddle in the mess that they had created, but when Stefan decided to take his chances and leave, leaving Damon on his own, she couldn\u2019t help but to feel sorry for him and take him in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damon rehab. And he\u2019d been nothing but a petulant child. Isa didn\u2019t like Elena, it was good that she had a time-out, but for the sake of shutting up Damon, she\u2019d liked to hunt down Bonnie Bennett and rip her heart out so that Elena could live again. And then Isa would tell him how bad Elena is for him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the thought was nice and all, she knew that Damon liked Bonnie, too, and she didn\u2019t want him to hate her. But her patience was growing thin. Kol\u2019s patience had already worn out several times. During the first winter he was with them, he had dug a Damon-sized hole underneath Geezer the tree where he could stand, but not lay down, and had buried him neck deep because he had grown tired of him whining. Of course, Kol had compelled him to shut up and stay there until they\u2019d be able to come and get him again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They had left Damon there for a couple of days while they had the cabin all to themselves, having sex as much as possible and generally enjoy each other\u2019s company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t fair towards Kol that he had to suffer through Damon\u2019s presence. Maybe it had been a bad idea on Isa\u2019s behalf; she was so used to taking care of the Salvatores that maybe it was time to let them go. She had already made the first step by not interfering when Damon brought his mother back, and maybe, if he wanted to desiccate, he had to be allowed to. It was just frustrating that that thought made him weak. Un-Damony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Isa had gone through a long period of not being herself as well, several, actually, and she had grown only stronger from it, so maybe it wasn\u2019t such a bad idea to let Damon go; let him do whatever he wanted and she\u2019d see when he\u2019d pop up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy and Geezer were telling her to let him go, and Kol – the tree, not her husband – told her that she was basically taking away the choice for Damon, the choice to do what he wanted, free will. And she wasn\u2019t too happy about it, either. It was not what she had wanted, to be selfish. Selfish<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the word was rude. The Mikaelsons were selfish<\/em>, and even though she was now a Mikaelson through marriage, it wasn\u2019t one of her traits. Or it shouldn\u2019t have been. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just because \u2018her boys\u2019 wanted to flee and stick their heads in the sand didn\u2019t mean that she had to do everything to control them. She let Stefan go, so why couldn\u2019t she allow Damon to do the same?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who was she to decide that keeping Damon from starving himself so that time would pass faster was a bad thing for him? She wasn\u2019t his mother. She\u2019d looked out for him all these years, but did it really give her the right to keep him from doing that to himself? No, it didn\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019d been acting selfishly over the last two years, and that wasn\u2019t right. It wasn\u2019t nice, and she realized she had a lot to make up for towards her husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isa had cooked them a meal over the open fire and they were sharing it inside the cabin. It was nice and cozy and because it was Valentine\u2019s day, Kol had brought her a bundle of flowers and there was a cow strapped to the cabin on the outside. Meat for days and blood for one. Or two, if she decided to share, but Kol didn\u2019t like animal blood much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After dinner, Isa put her arms around Damon and hugged him tightly. \u201cI have a present for you,\u201d she said as she smiled up to him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd not even for me?\u201d Kol huffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She looked at her husband and smiled widely. \u201cAnd it\u2019s also a present for you, husband. I want you to release Damon from your compulsion and give him his free will back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you sure, Darling?\u201d Kol smiled widely. He was more than happy to see Damon Salvatore go. He had come so close to killing him permanently over the last two years and always refrained because his wife had taken a liking to him. Damon was her family, and Kol still had difficulties accepting that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYep,\u201d she said as she looked up to the vampire she was hugging. \u201cI am so sorry that I took away your free will. If you want to starve yourself until Elena wakes up, then who am I to stop you? You\u2019ve been making life difficult for me and Kol since I dragged you away and that\u2019s unfair towards Kol. So, now you\u2019ll be able to do whatever you want,\u201d she smiled up to him before letting go and kissed her husband who was now standing behind her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you sure, darling?\u201d Oh, why did he ask her that again? Of course she was sure. It was likely that she had thought about this long and hard before finally making this decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe all learn from our mistakes,\u201d she smiled up at him and placed her hand on her cheek. \u201cI\u2019ve made a few along the years, I\u2019ve kept him from making big mistakes a few times and I learned that in some cases, taking away someone\u2019s free will is a bad thing. If Damon wants to go through pain in order not to experience life without his beloved, then who am I to stop him? I\u2019ve come close doing that several times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol loved every nutty little quirk of Isa\u2019s. Granted, it had taken him a while to get used to the whole idea of her talking to trees, but he loved every bit of her. And he loved it even more when she made sense. Like now. He didn\u2019t care much for Damon but had accepted his presence as Isa liked him, had cared for him like he had been her son in a way. And now she wanted to set him free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he didn\u2019t have the power to do so. Kol had never compelled Damon, he had told him that he was allowed to be a miserable cunt, but for Isa\u2019s sake, he was not going to let himself desiccate. They both had read the stories in the cave below the cabin, multiple times, and she had learned that it simply wasn\u2019t worth it. When Damon agreed to try, at least, Kol decided that was that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was very much unlike him. The only thing he and Damon had in common was Isa, Kol wouldn\u2019t mind driving a stake through Damon\u2019s heart simply because he could. And to fuck with Nik, to be honest, seeing as he was one of Nik\u2019s vampires. However, for Isa, he\u2019d do anything, even if it meant playing nice to the older Salvatore brother, give him some guidance or whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He softly brushed his lips with hers and smiled at her. \u201cI never compelled him, he\u2019s just sticking around because he likes you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isa\u2019s head snapped around to look at Damon, eyes filled with fire. \u201cAnd you\u2019ve been behaving like an asshole this entire time!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol blinked at that. Isa wasn\u2019t known for using colorful words but after what the Cullens had did to her and now that she was hanging around with him and Damon all the time – socializing with others <\/em>– she had picked up a thing here and there and it was hot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause I am<\/em> miserable,\u201d Damon said with a shrug. \u201cI can be miserable and still hang around the one person who actually cares about me. Stefan ran off. Everyone left Mystic Falls when the Heretics settled. Even BonBon left me. And then there was you,\u201d he smiled at her. \u201cYou\u2019ve always been there for me even when I didn\u2019t know you were. The least I could do was to stick around because you cared enough to stop me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen stop making me worried about you!\u201d she breezed as she pushed him across the cabin. \u201cStop making things hard on me and Kol! Everytime I try something to cheer you up, I\u2019m met with a scowl!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause what would cheer me up, wouldn\u2019t cheer you up, Isa,\u201d Damon smiled at her. \u201cI want to go on a spree. Get drunk and kill everything in sight and Mystic Falls is pretty empty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe could go to Los Angeles for a couple of weeks,\u201d Kol smirked, suddenly liking Damon – a lot. Yes, he loved Isa and he was glad that she allowed them freedom with their own diet so they could still snack on human blood, but most blood came from the hospital or the occasional human. A full on blood fest would be amazing<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Kol and Damon had the same hopeful look on their faces. Now that she was in the \u2018yay free will\u2019 mood, she sighed and nodded. \u201cVery well, we\u2019ll go to Los Angeles so you two can have your fun and on our way back, we\u2019ll drop in on your brother in New Orleans. I want to see Ezekiel.\u201d She then grabbed Kol and threw him against Damon. \u201cAnd you two should have opened your mouth sooner!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~o.O.o~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Orleans, February 14th, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So maybe they didn\u2019t make it all the way to Los Angeles. Damon wanted to ride the wave of tourists of post-Mardi Gras, have a bigger snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t like crowds very much, nor the loud music that bars and clubs brought, but for her husband and her friend, she was going to muddle through it. Because she was hungry too. Unlike them though, she had found herself a quiet corner and pretended to enjoy watching people. Pretty soon someone would come and ask her to dance or have fun. Damon had made sure of that; buying her a dress that was ill-fitting, at least according to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her boobs nearly fell out of the purple number, there was no support at all. Moving felt as if she was wading through mud as it was so tight, but when she had showed it to Kol, it was almost as if he was salivating. He couldn\u2019t keep his hands off of her on their way to this particular establishment and if she had to be honest, she kinda liked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had been too long since the three of them had fun<\/em>. Then again, if Damon had communicated his feelings properly before, if she had realized that she was being selfish quicker and if they both had admitted that he wasn\u2019t compelled and shit, Isa would have stepped in earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But playing the \u2018if\u2019 game didn\u2019t make her feel any better. It didn\u2019t help anyone or made the past better and all she could do is live in the present. And hope that Damon would snap out of his misery soon. And her boys needed to communicate better. And she wanted – no, needed<\/em> – more alone time with her husband. Now that she knew that Damon was going to stick around for a while longer, she was definitely going to get some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t like the way the girl was looking at her husband. So smitten. Isa could smell her arousal over every other scent that was in the club. A want, a need, for Kol. Granted, it was part of the whole game, seduce someone, compel that person not to scream, pretend to go in for a kiss and snack instead, but maybe he was taking it a little bit too far. She wasn\u2019t even that pretty, quite insulting, if she had to say so herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isa quickly glanced over to Damon, who was doing shots off of a very cute young lady and knew that she could leave him unsupervised for a bit as she hopped off her small perch and made her way over to Kol and the blonde Barbie with legs for days and breasts the size of melons. Probably fake. She circled around them as she weaved through the partying crowd, her eyes firmly fixed on Kol and smirked when he finally caught her eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol swallowed hard as he spotted his beloved Isa playing her <\/em>game. Sure, it was great to see that he hadn\u2019t lost the ability to flirt before taking a sip after Isa\u2019s influence, but Isa worked differently. She observed every kill as if she was a wildling. In essence, she was. She was a wildling who retained enough memory of being human to be civil, normal, but she had the instincts of the animals she hunted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while he had seen her hunt animals more often than not, he hadn\u2019t actually seen it happen on a human just yet. She was more than happy to take a sip of one of his victims or drink blood from a blood bag when she was in the mood for human. In essence, she didn\u2019t like drinking from humans because she loved them to bits. Unless something would happen that would cause her to go into her \u2018fight or flight mode\u2019. The church massacre had been glorious when she found out that he was still alive. When he found out that she was still around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it was then when he realized that she wasn\u2019t hunting the human, she was after him<\/em>. \u201cHello lovely,\u201d Isa said as she put her hand on the girl\u2019s shoulder to get her attention. \u201cWhat\u2019s your name?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cD-debi,\u201d she stammered. \u201cI\u2019m sorry if I flirted with your man but he came on to me<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I know,\u201d Isa purred as she gently pushed Debi\u2019s long hair away from her neck and looked at her husband, her eyes darkened with hunger and lust. \u201cYou are pretty. Are your breasts fake?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cW-what?\u201d Debi snapped her head around to look at Isa. She looked offended and confused at the same time. \u201cWhat kind of question is that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre they fake? Your breasts?\u201d she smirked and shrugged. \u201cSimple question.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsa, you\u2019re being rude,\u201d Kol said playfully as he pushed Debi\u2019s hair back on the other side of her neck and took a step closer to the girl to wedge her between her and Isa. \u201cMy apologies, Debi,\u201d he said as he cupped her chin to make her look at him. \u201cShe just wants what I want. Keep quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isa giggled as Kol compelled the girl and bit her neck, keeping her eyes on Kol as she drank from the girl. She took a few sips and then released her. Licking her lips, she then bit her finger to close the holes she had made in the girl\u2019s skin. \u201cDelicious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol was less nice about it and nearly drained the girl from all of her blood. The girl was wobbling on her feet when he finally released her. \u201cYou\u2019re drunk, go back to your hotel and sleep it off,\u201d he said to the girl who then nodded and wobbled off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isa pulled him to the side of the club and pushed him against the wall as she pulled his head down for a kiss. \u201cI don\u2019t like you flirting with others even if it\u2019s just for food,\u201d she said with a low growl. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to leave me, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol smirked at that. She was jealous or in a playful mood, wasn\u2019t she? \u201cMaybe I am. Sick and tired of being shacked up with Damon because of you.\u201d He then winced. That didn\u2019t sound playful at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isa looked at him for a moment, her face set in anger and heartbreak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt didn\u2019t sound like one!\u201d Yes, she knew that it wasn\u2019t fair of her to have him live with Damon because she wanted to save him, but she had already realized that. She had apologized for it but apparently it was still a sore spot for Kol. Of course it was. \u201cI already said I was sorry I subjected you to that! I was being selfish and I basically held him hostage!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsa, I said it was a joke, calm down,\u201d Kol said as he grabbed her and turned them around to push her against the wall, to make sure she would not do something stupid. \u201cI love you. I accepted you wanting to take care of Damon and I know he took advantage out of you – the both of us – because you\u2019re the only one who didn\u2019t leave him. I don\u2019t like him. I\u2019ll never like him, but I tolerate him because of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She narrowed her eyes on him as he stared her down, his hold on her tightening. \u201cYou should have said \u2018no\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd then what? Broke your heart?\u201d He smiled at her. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t do anything to break your heart like that, Isa, not anymore. But you could be a little bit forgiving, I\u2019ve behaved myself in the last few years. Damon sort of behaved himself and now we\u2019re letting loose, you have nothing to be jealous about. You\u2019re not being fair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am not jealous!\u201d She pushed him away from her. \u201cThat girl wanted to have sex with you. I could smell it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, you are jealous,\u201d Kol grinned. \u201cWhy? Because you think she was pretty?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe was a fake! You can do better than that!\u201d Isa huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. \u201cHad she been really hot, I would have felt better about it, but your taste in humans sucks. Even I look prettier than that Debi, with her fake boobs and a hair color that seemed unnatural.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He blinked at her. What?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer arousal towards you was insulting.\u201d She pointed at Damon, who was still having fun with his pretty ladies and shrugged. \u201cHad you done something like that, with pretty girls, it would have been fine. Debi was so ugly and fake that she deserved to be a snack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re nuts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know,\u201d Isa smirked as she took his hand and started to pull him along with her. Her eyes scanning the crowd, finding the perfect girl for Kol to fuck around with. She was beautiful, but she didn\u2019t look as cheap as Debi had done. Her red hair was perfectly styled, her makeup was on point and she smelled nice. \u201cThat one,\u201d she said as she pointed at the girl. \u201cHave that one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsa\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She softly kissed him and smiled as another thought came up in her head. She was certain that Kol would be up for it as they\u2019d experimented before when they travelled the world a little. \u201cAnd, if you manage to convince her that there\u2019s a party for three in an abandoned shack in the Bayou, take her with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re saying\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m saying,\u201d she nodded and kissed him again before putting her hand on his groin, already feeling his growing arousal. \u201cIt\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day, why not gift you a threesome?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was salivating at the thought. \u201cI love you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne condition though;\u201d she said playfully as she squeezed his cock through the fabric of his pants. \u201cNo compulsion, think you can do that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, come on, who can resist a face like this?\u201d Kol huffed. \u201cI have a handsome face.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat you do,\u201d she kissed him again. \u201cHappy hunting, see you soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He watched her leave the club, heading towards the shack in the Bayou. His blood was already racing through his body, he wanted that threesome now, and he was so happy that she suggested it, and not him. He could also understand why her behaviour seemed all over the place since they got to New Orleans. She didn\u2019t like crowds. Knowing that Damon was having fun had been one item on her list and now, she gifted Kol a threesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the girl she had picked out was game for it too. It was Valentine\u2019s Day and she looked single. Single women were always more desperate for a date at Valentine\u2019s. Of course she was going to be up for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, it was a good thing that he had excellent persuasion skills. He took a deep breath and joined the girl and her group of friends. \u201cHello,\u201d he greeted her with a smile on his face. \u201cMy name is Kol, can I buy you a drink?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~o.O.o~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She took the time in the Bayou to center herself again, talk to the trees and catch up with Ezekiel. This was the last time she had accompanied Kol or Damon into a club because it screwed with her mind. She lost herself, and that wasn\u2019t fun. It made her angry that she was so sensitive to impulses like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it was a part of her and sometimes it went well, and other days, like these, it just messed with her. Luckily, they were in New Orleans. Familiar ground. Familiar trees. Had it been in Los Angeles, she might have snapped and killed a few humans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sipping from the bottle of bourbon left at the shack by Niklaus, she waited patiently for Kol to return with their date. She couldn\u2019t wait, this was going to be so much fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a while, she saw Kol appear with the girl in tow, she looked positively under the influence of a little bit of alcohol and she was all giggly. Isa hoped that she still knew what she was doing, though. It wouldn\u2019t be fun without an actively participating third partner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsa, may I introduce Mariska to you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHi!\u201d Isa smiled widely as she got to her feet to shake Mariska\u2019s hand. \u201cNice to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd she\u2019s definitely on board.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell then,\u201d Isa looped her arm through Mariska\u2019s and directed her to the door. \u201cWelcome, welcome! And happy Valentine\u2019s Day!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol sighed happily as he closed the door behind him. This was going to be fun<\/em>. \u201cHappy Valentine\u2019s Day indeed.\u201d
