Chapter 11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Oh, she wasn\u2019t sure how to do this. She\u2019d never been at LaFayette before, and she wasn\u2019t even sure if Davina was around. Sighing, she got the book out of her bag and hugged it as she walked around the tombs, reading the names and inscriptions. Some were so old that it had their life\u2019s story told on the stones. It was interesting. Intriguing, even. Maybe, when all of this would be over, she\u2019d turn to her love for history again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read. Explore. Think of crazy theories and prove herself wrong or right. Ever since she\u2019d started to run, she hadn\u2019t stopped and taken the time to enjoy herself, to allow herself to bite into a chunk of history and not letting it go until she was done with it. She should have done that the moment she set foot in New Orleans, but her mind had been otherwise occupied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella walked around for quite some time before a young woman, a brunette, came stomping out of a tomb, agitation set on her face. \u201cHey, you!\u201d she snapped before stopping dead in her tracks. \u201cIs that my book?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDepends on who you ask and who you are,\u201d Bella replied, holding the book close to her. \u201cI mean, you might say it\u2019s yours, but I have someone else saying it\u2019s theirs so\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, you\u2019re the innocent that Freya stole that book for,\u201d Davina replied as she stretched out her hand. \u201cI\u2019m Davina, and your magic is interfering with my spell, so\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m Bella. I thought I\u2019d return your book and have a beer with you for thanking you for so generously giving the book to Freya Mikaelson so we could do some research.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t freely give anything. The bitch stole it from me after I said no. Knocked me out with a spell,\u201d Davina said bitterly as she held out her hands for Bella to give it back. \u201cDid it help you, at least?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah\u2026 I wanted to ask you if I could hold on to it for a bit longer. I think there\u2019s a lot that I\u2019m missing when it comes to understanding what exactly is wrong with me,\u201d she said with a slight chuckle. \u201cThe last few pages in the book are in a language I don\u2019t understand so I want to make sure that I\u2019ve got everything translated correctly.\u201d She hoped that Davina hadn\u2019t read the book and knew that she was lying. Especially the last bits of the book were in English. And some code she wasn\u2019t able to decipher and that intrigued her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She eyed her skeptically. \u201cYou know, I could do a magical x-ray of you, maybe that will help. Are you sure you\u2019re a witch?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I\u2019m not a witch. I hate witches – sorry, bad experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s okay,\u201d Davina laughed. \u201cCome, let\u2019s find out what you are then, and maybe show you that not all witches are evil or wrong or out to get you,\u201d she motioned for Bella to follow her into her building. \u201cSo, how do you know the Mikaelsons?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m an entertainer,\u201d Bella said with a shrug as she stuffed the book back into her bag as she followed Davina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh? What do you do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI dance, and I am an exclusive adult escort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davina stopped dead in her tracks and looked at Bella, pity written all over her face. \u201cOh, I\u2019m so sorry. Did um\u2026 did they compel you to do that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHell no,\u201d Bella smiled at her. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I have a reasonable steady background, and I know what I\u2019m doing. I love what I do. Don\u2019t pity me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWere you drawn to New Orleans?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, I guess I was, in a way.\u201d She followed Davina deeper into the building, only to realize that this was also a tomb. A big one, at that. \u201cWow. Uhm\u2026 should we even be in here? It sort of feels like trespassing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid Freya tell you about me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly that you were a witch but other than that? I\u2019m not familiar with everything supernatural. I\u2019m quite the novice, really. I mean\u2026 real vampires? Werewolves? Witches? Magic is real?\u201d Bella couldn\u2019t help but look around and notice the names on the stones. \u201cWhat is this place?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a seat of power,\u201d Davina explained. \u201cIt\u2019s where all the previous Regents of the covens are interred and thus the home of the current regent of the nine covens. Me,\u201d she said proudly. \u201cI\u2019m the most powerful witch in New Orleans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella let out a breath. Klaus\u2019 observation about Davina being power-hungry and quite arrogant was spot on. \u201cI\u2026 oh\u2026 I didn\u2019t know that, I\u2019m sorry. Should I bow or curtsey or something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRelax,\u201d Davina laughed. \u201cYou said it yourself; you\u2019re no witch. So, the book, it was about the Travelers, wasn\u2019t it? Aren\u2019t they like\u2026 extinct?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Bella said with a shrug. \u201cAccording to the book they do like their mass suicides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy the interest?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUh\u2026 well, it appears that I\u2019m related to them, and certain clients hate it that they can\u2019t compel me, so there must be something wrong with me, right?\u201d Bella said with a slight chuckle. \u201cI also have some issues with a sub-species of vampires, and I am trying to understand why.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davina slowly nodded as she lit some candles. \u201cLet me try to do that witchy scan on you, but I\u2019m afraid that the knowledge you seek is not in my possession or in my knowledge. I do know of one witch who might know but\u2026 he\u2019s dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFreya\u2019s brother, right? Kol?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d Davina smiled as she pointed at the floor for Bella to sit down. \u201cHe was this amazing person. Kind, warm, slightly crazy and his knowledge of magic was just out there. But then again, he had so many years to gather his knowledge\u2026 I might travel one day and do the same, you know, to learn more. Teach it to the covens upon my return.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat sounds like a great idea! You should do that. The world is this big, crazy place and it\u2019s awesome,\u201d Bella sat down and pulled two bottles of beer out of her bag. \u201cWant one?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWould you like it if a surgeon with alcohol breath would perform surgery on you?\u201d She replied laughing. \u201cBut go ahead if you want to calm your nerves. I promise I won\u2019t hurt you and that I\u2019m pure with my intentions. Everyone should know where they come from and what they are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella shrugged as she screwed the top off and took a swig of her beer. \u201cHey, aren\u2019t you a little young to be Queen Witch?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrust me, I know what I\u2019m doing,\u201d she laughed again as she started to place the burning candles around Bella. \u201cYou\u2019re safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, and what if I\u2019m not?\u201d she said slightly hesitant. \u201cI don\u2019t want you to scramble my brains or anything; I need it to do my job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davina sat down on her knees behind Bella and placed her hands on her shoulders. \u201cYou came to me for help, let me help you. It\u2019s what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella took another swig of her beer before setting the bottle outside the circle where her bag was and sighed deep. \u201cAlright, I\u2019m relaxing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davina started to chant a spell as she moved her hands around Bella\u2019s body before, just like Freya, she received a jolt and was propelled backward. \u201cOh no, no no no!\u201d she said as she scrambled to her feet and looked at Bella in shock. \u201cWhat was that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, that? Yeah, that happened to Freya too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd you couldn\u2019t tell me?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She shrugged. \u201cI thought it would be different with you, since, you know, you\u2019re not Freya,\u201d she said as she got to her feet and took her bag. \u201cWe should hang out together. No magic involved. Go shopping. Have a manicure. Spa day. Really.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy? You just tried to kill me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I didn\u2019t,\u201d Bella sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose. \u201cBut I could use a friend, a non-adult entertainer kinda friend. And I like your energy. We should hang out. So, the day after tomorrow? Spa day? You and me? I\u2019ll pay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFine,\u201d Davina said, resigning with a sigh. \u201cI suppose I could use a normal, human, friend to hang out with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCool,\u201d Bella smiled. \u201cThanks! I\u2019ll come and find you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey, um, do you want me to ask the ancestors about you? See what they know?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shrugging, Bella readjusted her bag. \u201cIf you want to, any help is appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan I have some of your blood?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She shook her head. \u201cSorry. If there\u2019s one thing I won\u2019t part with for magic or food, it\u2019s bodily fluids and hair,\u201d Bella then tugged on her hair. \u201cOhh, speaking of hair\u2026 I\u2019m going to the hairdresser to make my hair awesome again. It\u2019s a little bit dull, isn\u2019t it? It could use some more color\u2026 Thanks for your help, Davina. I\u2019ll see you in a couple of days,\u201d she smiled before bouncing out of the tomb and headed into town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Bella felt as if she was having a heart attack when she got rudely awoken the next morning by a fuming Klaus. \u201cWhat have you done with your hair!\u201d He demanded angrily as he sat next to her on the bed. \u201cYour lovely hair!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She groaned as she rolled onto her back and looked at him. \u201cDon\u2019t be such a drama queen, Klaus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou cut it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy hair. And it\u2019s not super short, you know. It still reaches my shoulders,\u201d she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and sighed. \u201cAnd I had it dye-dipped. Awesome, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour hair!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou never complained before. I needed a change,\u201d she sat up and looked around. \u201cWait, you\u2019re here, does that mean Aurora\u2019s gone?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe had some business to attend to, and she wanted to go dress shopping for the ultimate dress to wear for our dinner tonight,\u201d he softly kissed her lips. \u201cEvery moment spent with her is agony. You need to save me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d she smiled as she put her arms around his neck and pulled him in for another kiss. \u201cYou made your bed; you\u2019re going to lie in it. In your misery,\u201d she kissed him again and pressed her naked body against him. \u201cPlease tell me we can have sex.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know, love, Aurora wore me out, I thought I\u2019d take the time to take a nap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAsshole,\u201d she said as she pushed him away. \u201cI know I went along with this, and it seems to be the right course of action, but I don\u2019t like it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus started to laugh as he pulled her back towards him. \u201cI was joking, Bella.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah well, you\u2019ve spoiled the mood now,\u201d she said grumpily and got off the bed in search of some clothes. \u201cSo, what have I missed, tell me all about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou’re not fair,\u201d Klaus sighed as he flopped onto his stomach and watched her move around the bedroom. \u201cYou agreed to this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI did, but joking about it isn\u2019t something I\u2019d like to hear, so spill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sighing again, he told her everything that he and Elijah had learned over the last few days. \u201cAnd thus, Elijah thought it\u2019d be fun to throw a Thanksgiving dinner party to show them that we\u2019re on to them. It\u2019s possible a few threats will be tossed around; I sincerely hope to spill some blood\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll make sure to stay out of your way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNonsense,\u201d Klaus replied, noticing that she wasn\u2019t making an effort when it came to getting dressed. Either she was torturing him, or she was changing her mind, playing a little mindfuck of her own. \u201cI told Lucien that to keep you safe; we pretend that you\u2019re an ordinary human who\u2019s able to be compelled. He knows that you can\u2019t, but he agreed. You\u2019re simply too valuable – to him – to end up as cannon fodder. Aside from Elijah and myself, I trust that he will protect you when needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll be joining us for dinner,\u201d Klaus smiled at her. \u201cAs an unofficial referee and to have some good food, just as Myriam told me to do for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAurora was there when she made the threat; we don\u2019t have a choice, love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course, we do,\u201d Bella said nervously as she looked at him. \u201cI\u2019ll just have the food in the kitchen. Far far away from five highly strung vampires who could snap at any minute and despite everything kill me. Granted, I\u2019d just come back but I\u2019m meeting a potential friend tomorrow, so I\u2019d rather not be dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was surprised to hear that. \u201cWhat happened to your deathwish?\u201d Not that he didn\u2019t like this change of heart. She deserved to be human for a bit longer, live without fear. Although that might take some more time\u2026 \u201cAnd what potential friend?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDavina.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you mad!\u201d Klaus said as he sped off the bed and almost pushed Bella against the wall. \u201cShe\u2019s been nothing more than trouble for this family! The decisions she makes are borderline psychotic; she barely ever listens to advice, and she thinks she\u2019s some sort of special snowflake because she used to be a Harvest witch!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAsk Elijah and he\u2019d say the same things about you,\u201d she countered and looked up to him. \u201cLook, you\u2019re busy with your prophecy, and I\u2019m bored, so I took it upon myself to look for help. She\u2019s useless in this department, so I decided we should be friends, or at least try to be. She appeared to be lonely, and I thought that was sad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only reason the witch is still alive is that I promised Camille not to hurt her. You can\u2019t trust her!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I won\u2019t,\u201d she smiled at him, gently patting his face with the palm of her hand. \u201cI won\u2019t tell her anything, besides, she stumbled upon the same magical roadblock as Freya so\u2026\u201d Bella shrugged. \u201cBut you know, it\u2019s good for me to socialize. Make friends that aren\u2019t vampires or other adult entertainers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe won\u2019t be your friend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, then I won\u2019t be hers either, but I wanted to do something, Klaus. And she hung around with Kol last year so maybe she knows more than she lets on. Are you catching my drift here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s dangerous, love, I don\u2019t want her to hurt you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou expect me to attend to a summit that\u2019ll be attended by five of the oldest vampires on Earth, and you\u2019re afraid of a little witch hurting me?\u201d She pressed her body against his and slinked her arms around his neck. \u201cCute,\u201d she said as she tiptoed and kissed him sweetly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amused, he smiled at her. \u201cDo you have any idea what I\u2019d do to anyone who would dare to talk to me like you\u2019ve been doing for the last two years?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYup,\u201d she smirked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Letting out a breath, he pulled her closer. \u201cI want to bend you over the desk in the study and punish you mercilessly,\u201d he said huskily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She looked into his eyes as she admired him. \u201cOne condition,\u201d she said after a moment of thought. \u201cSince you\u2019ve been sexing a thousand-year-old vampire for the last few days, I\u2019m going to need you to suit up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know you\u2019re both vampires and can\u2019t get sick from disease, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t carry it and spread it around. I\u2019m still human, Klaus. I don\u2019t want to get sick from her cooties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re out of luck, I don\u2019t have those,\u201d he scowled as he ran a finger along her spine causing her to shiver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoesn\u2019t that mean that you\u2019re out of luck, love?\u201d She said playfully. She was dancing too close to the fire right now. There was nothing more that she wanted than to fly apart against him after the last few days, having to tolerate Aurora in his arms instead of her, and she knew that he wanted her badly. This could all blow up in her face. When she saw the disappointed look on his face, she smiled widely. \u201cLucky for you, your sister Freya likes to have casual sex now and then and she was willing to part with a suit for you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slightly annoyed by her, Klaus\u2019 upper lip curled up before he kissed her possessively, his hand on the back of her head, keeping it in place as his tongue invaded her mouth, ravishing her, drinking in her scent. After breaking off the kiss, he leveled his gaze. \u201cGet it and then present yourself in the study.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella just laughed at him as she cupped his groin and gave it a gentle squeeze. Oh, he was interested alright. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNuh-uh,\u201d she said as she took a step away from him and released him from her hold. \u201cYou\u2019re in no position to make demands, Klaus Mikaelson. For one, you\u2019re still fully dressed, and you know as well as I do that I don\u2019t take orders from fully dressed men.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you taking the piss?\u201d He watched her as she walked away from him, light on her feet as she ran a hand through her freshly cut hair and made a pirouette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, but now you mention it, I could take A piss, seeing as you woke me and all\u2026\u201d she said thoughtful and headed to the bathroom. \u201cI\u2019ll be right back!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He scratched his head as he thought of what to do; he knew that she was just playing and that she was definitely interested – he could smell her arousal, but this was annoying. Klaus would have thought that she\u2019d be more open, more receptive after these days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he wasn\u2019t sure why she was punishing him. She had agreed to him trying to play Aurora! When she seemed to take her time, he sighed and got rid of his clothes and searched the nightstand for the condom that she wanted him to use. Again, he understood why, but him sleeping with Myriam and with her had never been a big issue with her. It was likely because she knew that Myriam was clean. He wasn\u2019t even sure Aurora was, but seeing she\u2019d been in a monastery for so long\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLooking for this?\u201d Bella smiled widely as she held up the wretched object and casually leaned against the doorpost. Playing games were so much fun, but she knew that she had to give in to him eventually if she wanted everyone to live. Not that Klaus would deliberately try to hurt her, but he was a vampire, after all, and she had only just made the realization that she wanted to be human for a while longer – destiny or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not because she liked being a human, but more that she could get away with shit like this because she was a human and Klaus wanted her. Getting her neck snapped for merely toying with him would be horrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She took him in with her eyes and licked her lips. \u201cDon\u2019t you look\u2026\u201d She wasn\u2019t even able to complete her sentence because he rushed over to her and threw her on the bed, knocking the air out of her lungs as he snatched the condom from her. She started to laugh to steady her breathing, but it quickly dissolved into a moan as he plunged into her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

She was still a little wobbly on her feet after she and Klaus spent most of the day together, in bed or on the floor or against the wall, in the tub\u2026 Still high on sex, but smelling like roses, Bella now stood in front of the mirror wearing the dress that she knew that would guarantee Klaus to go batty. Again. It would also catch the eye of Lucien, and she wasn\u2019t sure about Tristan, he sounded just as asexual and stuck up as Elijah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was wearing a gorgeous lace column cocktail dress with a jewel neckline and a little bit of sleeve. The illusion was that it was see-through and nude underneath, but in fact, there was fabric in the color of her skin that was attached to the dress to create it. It was one of her favorite dresses, still. She couldn\u2019t remember if she\u2019d ever worn it for Klaus. Probably not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she heard Klaus speak downstairs, she moved to the balustrade and leaned over it to see what was going on. She kept herself from laughing when she noticed how \u2018dressing up\u2019 for the vampires meant to wear \u2018a different suit\u2019 and in Klaus\u2019 case, he\u2019d put a velvet dinner jacket over his casual henley and jeans. Aurora was dressed in a velvet dress. A purple one at that. Since when was velvet back in fashion? It was gross. Those puffy shoulders were clearly out of the previous century! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucien looked like a horny teenager when Aurora greeted him. Of course. Why was Bella even surprised about this? What was it with men and falling for complete nutcases like Aurora? Was it her tits? Or was it merely for sentimental reasons, that it was easier, since they were all so ancient? Oh, but she could work with the look of horror that appeared on both Tristan and Lucien\u2019s face when Klaus grabbed Aurora\u2019s attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, of course, almost as if it was rehearsed, Elijah descended the stairs and rolled into his dramatic speech. \u201cWelcome to our home! I do wish it was under better circumstances. We all face a common threat– a prophecy warning that my siblings and I would all fall within a year.\u201d Cue the dramatic pause. Bella silently snickered. Elijah deserved an Oscar for his performance abilities. \u201cI fear my sister already has.\u201d There it was. She fought hard against the urge to whoop and applaud Elijah for his performance, she did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was some petty squabbling and a patronizing Elijah belittling Lucien, before Elijah invited the trinity to sit down at the table. Klaus was just about to speak up when Aurora\u2019s annoying voice sounded. \u201cNik, aren\u2019t you forgetting something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s that, love?\u201d He replied pleasantly as he walked towards her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aurora sighed dramatically. \u201cYou got into a fight with her madam about this. You should get her down for this lovely feast. After all, we do need to keep the whore happy, don\u2019t we? Since you\u2019re obviously refusing to allow her to return to the rotten place you found her in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella was surprised by that. Maybe Aurora said it to test him, or her, or maybe it was simply out of kindness. Shrugging, Bella headed towards the stairs and waited. She had to pretend to be compelled. Fucker. Fuck her. Fuck him. Fuck everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, as a matter of fact, I\u2019ve asked her to join us this evening as a referee,\u201d Klaus said as he pointed to the top of the stairs and motioned for Bella to head down. She looked ravishing. Absolutely gorgeous. Even Lucien did a double take. Klaus could hear him swallow, hard. Tristan was surprised, but even he was interested. \u201cIsa, darling, please join us. You remember Lucien, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do,\u201d she smiled brightly at him, caressing his cheek with her hand as she passed him to round the table to sit down next to Lucien. \u201cHello, Lucien. It\u2019s so good to see you again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve been here all along?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have,\u201d she smiled at him. \u201cKlaus is treating me well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aurora scoffed. \u201cHardly. She\u2019s been compelled to say that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCompelled? Really?\u201d Lucien cocked his head as he looked at Klaus before back at Isa. He knew that she couldn\u2019t be compelled. What kind of game was his sire playing? Not going to ruin his game – as there must have been a reason for this charade, he leaned into her. \u201cYou still owe me a shag, beautiful. So repeat after me; \u2018I want you to take me home, Lucien.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella\u2019s smile faltered as she narrowed her eyes at him before reaching for her fork and stabbed him between his legs. \u201cOh, I\u2019m so sorry, Lucien!\u201d Bella said panicked. \u201cThat wasn\u2019t me, I swear!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told you, she\u2019s compelled. There\u2019s no original thought left in her body,\u201d Aurora said bored. \u201cObviously, Nik wants to keep her all to himself and compelled her to use brutal force against anyone who\u2019d make her want to change her mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucien snarled as he pulled the fork out of his skin and wrapped his hand tightly around Bella\u2019s throat. \u201cI shall get rid of his toy, right now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPut down the girl, Lucien,\u201d Elijah commanded, but Lucien wasn\u2019t listening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus was quick on his feet and broke Lucien\u2019s arm, so he let go of Bella. \u201cIsa\u2019s human and she is not to be harmed. Have I made myself clear?\u201d He spat at his first sireling. \u201cI shall not hesitate to kill you should any one of you hurt a hair on her perfect little body.\u201d Releasing Lucien, he checked Bella over. He had not expected him to do this. \u201cAre you alright?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She nodded quickly as she reached for a glass of water to drink from it. This had been a bad idea. \u201cI don\u2019t think I should be here, Klaus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh! An original thought!\u201d Aurora squealed. \u201cWell done, little girl.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI promise I won\u2019t tell Myriam.\u201d She\u2019d never been scared shitless in the presence of vampires. No, something really had changed within her. She wasn\u2019t sure if it was because of her supernatural status or that she didn\u2019t want to die just yet. But she wanted out. This had been a bad idea. What a waste of a pretty awesome dress. She\u2019d wished she\u2019d been able to show it some more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsa, I am sorry,\u201d Lucien started, which earned him a backhanded slap from Klaus, who kept his eyes on her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo fill up a plate then, sweetheart, and go to your room,\u201d he murmured. \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s okay,\u201d she smiled at him and softly kissed him before doing as she was told. She didn\u2019t understand why she was feeling the way that she did. It wasn\u2019t the same sort of feeling that she had around Freya or Davina, but it was a more intense feeling of dread and pain. Of betrayal. Was it coming off of Lucien? She had hoped he was one of the good guys, but feeling like this? She wasn\u2019t so sure anymore. \u201cI should be the one who\u2019s sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sighing, Klaus bit his hand and dripped some of his blood into an empty glass as Bella gathered some food on her plate. He handed her the glass as she stood to leave. \u201cI\u2019ll check in on you later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah watched Bella leave and processed what he had just witnessed. She had met Lucien before and hadn\u2019t really had the idea to leave him, even after his witch had stopped her from leaving. In fact, as the way that his brother had told the story, she turned it around and played Lucien for quite some money. Bella didn\u2019t like Aurora, but that was because she was insane and as much as the girl denied it, she really didn\u2019t want to share Niklaus anymore. However, she didn\u2019t have the same reaction when Aurora was around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps a little, but Elijah wasn\u2019t worried about that. No, he was worried that Tristan, his sireling, and leader of The Strix, was the problem. The threat. That Bella\u2019s internal alarm bells went off, and she wasn\u2019t able to pinpoint where it was coming from, but Tristan was the only one she hadn\u2019t encountered before. It made sense. He glanced over to his brother and came to the realization that he had the same idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tristan was going to cause them one hell of a headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Some distance did her some good, but almost half an hour later, or an hour later, perhaps, she could hear fighting coming from everywhere in the compound. Talking, slapping, punching, growling. Bella had barricaded all entries to her bedroom, just in case. Not that it would help against a vampire, but it was the thought that counts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After changing into something more comfortable, she found a note on her bed from Davina. I don\u2019t know where you are, and I hope this comes to you and not someone else. Can you meet me at Gillespie\u2019s Pub? It\u2019s on St. Peter\u2019s, the corner of Bourbon Street. I could use a friend right now. D.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blinking, Bella grabbed her purse with her money and was glad she hadn\u2019t changed into PJ\u2019s but a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, and tossed the note into the fire. Using a piece of paper and a pen, she left a note for Klaus on her bed and snuck out. She didn\u2019t want to bother the vampires in case something happened, or in case she was interrupting their plans or whatever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, it was dark, and yeah, she knew she shouldn\u2019t be out by herself, but Davina had actually reached out to her. It was a chance she had to take. She blinked when she passed Marcel on the street. He was walking by so fast that she didn\u2019t think that he\u2019d seen her, which was probably for the best, before she ducked into Gillespie\u2019s. It was a karaoke bar. Perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She found Davina at a corner of the bar, pushing around her food, looking miserable. \u201cHey,\u201d Bella greeted her as she slid onto the stool next to Davina\u2019s. \u201cIs everything okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Davina sighed eventually, putting her fork down. \u201cI\u2019m still trying to process it myself, I mean, where to go from here? I had to do what I had to; otherwise they wouldn\u2019t respect me and it seems to work for everyone else, but why not me? It came round to bite me in the ass, and now I\u2019m useless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She blinked as she tried to make sense of Davina\u2019s words. \u201cSlow down; you\u2019re not making any sense, Davina,\u201d she said as she rubbed the girl\u2019s back. \u201cWhy are you so upset?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She took a deep breath and ordered Bella a beer and a soda for herself. She waited for hers to arrive and took a swig. \u201cWere you working? Is that how you could come here so quickly?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella snorted as she pointed at her outfit. \u201cDo I look like I was working?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d she blushed. \u201cSorry, it\u2019s none of my business, I shouldn’t have asked\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd what if I was? You need me; you magically sent me this note. What kind of a person am I if I refuse to answer it?\u201d Bella took a long swig of her beer and shook her head. \u201cWay to change the direction of the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah well\u2026 I\u2019m afraid that if I say it out loud that it\u2019ll be true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf something happened to you, then it probably is true. You weren\u2019t assaulted, were you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, no, nothing like that!\u201d Davina gasped. \u201cOh, god no. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019d do if that happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a woman, there are two ways to deal with that. One, if you feel threatened by a man, just stare at his junk every once in awhile. It\u2019ll make him feel self-conscious and leave you alone. Two; if it does happen, just break his dick. Uhm. Manhood.\u201d Bella took another swig. \u201cBesides, you\u2019ve got magic; you don\u2019t need strength.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrue,\u201d she snorted. \u201cBut I\u2019m not as powerful as I used to be. They shunned me. I\u2019m no longer a regent, and I don\u2019t belong to any coven anymore. I feel so powerless. And I was well in my rights, you know. Other people kill to make a statement and get away with it, like Klaus Mikaelson, and when I ask a wolf to take care of something, it blows up in my face. Granted, the bitch lost control and killed a lot of witches instead of just the one but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Davina,\u201d Bella said as she rubbed her back. \u201cWhy did they shun you, though? You must have had a good reason to want to get rid of someone?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not even shocked that I\u2019m a murderer?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not. Perhaps by proxy\u2026 I dunno. I\u2019ve seen worse shit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd the reason was that she threatened me. And my position as regent. I know that I\u2019m like the youngest regent ever, but she humiliated me in front of everyone,\u201d she sighed and took a sip of her soda. \u201cAnd now I\u2019ve lost everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes!\u201d Davina whined. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not like I could use my position for anything that I wanted, either. I mean, when I became regent, the ancestors granted me all their power for one spell. And I choose the spell to bring back my boyfriend, but, the Mikaelsons hijacked the spell by swapping out his ashes with that of his mother. So all that magic, gone. Because they ended up killing her too. I stopped doing favors for vampires, like creating rings for them, and I fought every coven to remain where I was. It was all I had, Bella. Magic. The power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She now understood why Klaus wanted to get rid of Davina; she was an obvious threat, but now with her power stripped away from her, maybe he could ease up a little on her. \u201cYou\u2019re still alive; that must count for something. You\u2019re obviously still able to do magic even without the help of your ancestors. You\u2019re more than just a witch, Davina. You\u2019re a person first, and you\u2019re still here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, you\u2019re right,\u201d Davina smiled at her and nodded. \u201cThanks, I needed that. Want to do some karaoke?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSure, why not? I\u2019ll even switch to drinking soda as to be your equal. Sucks that you\u2019re not 21 yet,\u201d Bella pouted. \u201cUnless we go somewhere else, like privately and have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo. Karaoke.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKaraoke it is,\u201d Bella laughed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming home hours after the ending of the dinner party, she found the courtyard yet again, in ruins. Sighing, she shook her head and headed up the stairs where she was greeted by Elijah. \u201cGood morning,\u201d she muttered, wished she had a good reason to be in this late. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood Morning, how are you feeling?\u201d He asked pleasantly as he followed her. \u201cBetter?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTired,\u201d she replied. \u201cI\u2019m going to bed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He gently put his hand on her arm and made her turn to look at him. \u201cNiklaus is out, searching for Camille. It seems that someone has taken her out of Lucien\u2019s custody, and we\u2019re worried that something has happened to her,\u201d Elijah said gently. \u201cI do not expect him back until he has found her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay,\u201d Bella said with a yawn. \u201cWait, Lucien had Cami?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a long story that really doesn\u2019t matter right now,\u201d he smiled politely. \u201cI just need to inform you about a couple of things, in Niklaus\u2019 absence. We\u2019re holding Tristan, and we\u2019re going to try to get the information we need about our sister\u2019s whereabouts from him. It might get loud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlright.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlso; since we\u2019re holding Tristan, it\u2019s entirely possible that his minions, the Strix, will make an attempt to get him released. It\u2019s likely it\u2019ll be done by force. Know that you\u2019re protected inside the walls of this building. You are invisible to anyone who\u2019s not a Mikaelson for the next 24 hours. Should you feel that you\u2019re not safe in your room, please hide out in the dungeons.\u201d He then smiled at her. \u201cBut please, please refrain from running away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay,\u201d she smiled at him. \u201cI trust you. Thank you, Elijah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo try to get some rest; it\u2019s going to be a long day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stopped him from walking away by placing her hand on his arm. \u201cElijah, are you okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course,\u201d he smiled reassuringly, but without the actual feeling behind it. \u201cNiklaus believes that we have the prophecy under control, but I\u2019m not so sure about that. On top of that, Camille has been taken and\u2026\u201d Elijah let out a deep breath. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing you should worry yourself with. What matters is that you\u2019re safe and will be safe. May I ask\u2026 where were you this evening?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDavina needed me. We talked and then had a karaoke session, so it was awesome,\u201d she said with a yawn. \u201cWhatever you have planned, or whatever you expect to happen, please be careful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course. Have a good night, Bella.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood night, Elijah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Bella woke up to screaming, yelling and the smashing of things and fought her own fear of getting hurt. Elijah had told her, nobody but the Mikaelsons could see her, but even then, it was hard to wake up with. Quickly changing into her clothes, she quietly ventured out to see what was going on, only to be nearly grazed by seemingly a member of the Strix. It had been a close call. Had she honestly slept all day then? Had she been that exhausted or was that part of another spell of Freya\u2019s, just to keep her out of harm\u2019s way and not bored?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She did as she was told then, going to the dungeons and wait it all out. She wished she could do something, but if they thought the threat had been severe enough to make her invisible, then she should stay out of it. It wasn\u2019t until Klaus came to find her that she knew that she was safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re back!\u201d She said as she flew into his arms and held him tightly. \u201cAre you okay? Is Cami okay? What happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He breathed in her scent and relaxed; he had been on edge all day because of what happened with Aurora and Camille, and then learning that the Strix had invaded his home. All he wanted now was to sleep. He had left Camille to sleep on the sofa in the courtyard, well protected, and even offered her a room of her own, but she refused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camille was going to linger for a few days until she\u2019d get back on her feet, until she was certain that no vampire would come after her again. She\u2019d gone through quite the ordeal, and strangely enough, it made him wonder how Bella would have reacted if she\u2019d been in the same situation as his therapist had been in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to be able to spend the next couple of days in relative peace as we\u2019re going to prepare for the Christmas celebrations,\u201d he said instead and kissed the top of her head. \u201cRight now, however, I want us to get into our bed and take a breather.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat about Aurora?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat part is over and done with, love, no more pretending, no more praising her. From now on, we\u2019re treating her as the person she is; a psychotic lunatic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s just us?\u201d She looked up at him, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. \u201cReally? Can we finally continue being us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor now, yes,\u201d he smiled at her before lifting her in his arms and took her upstairs. \u201cI will tell you everything in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast question\u2026\u201d she said as she looked at him as he carried her to their room. \u201cAre Elijah and Freya alright? There was so much commotion and\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course they are. There\u2019s nothing that a little bit of blood can\u2019t fix. Now, please, love, can we change the subject?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mischievous look appeared on Bella\u2019s face. \u201cOr we could not talk at all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
