Chapter 14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Note to self: It\u2019s not surprising that the Cold Ones have their version of the white oak, it\u2019s just incredibly silly of them to have it wrapped into a fairy tale. One human to kill them all. It\u2019s too ridiculous for words.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note to self: Remember, you were too intrigued by their silliness.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Oh god, what if the stories are true and that one day there\u2019ll be another weapon of mass destruction for the Cold Ones? Remind me not to tell Elijah or Niklaus. I want to swoop in and be the hero when they get into trouble with them. Or laugh at them after another daggering and hearing the stories.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I traveled to Greece. Yes, the main area is in Italy, Volterra, but I believed that the Volturi forgot about most of their history. I met with an old witch, a traveler, who told me that everything in this book is true. And that there was more. While the witch wasn\u2019t particularly fond of vampires, she\u2019d heard about my reputation with witches and knew of me being a member of the Original family. She gave me a prophecy that was told for generations, in the hope that one day, it\u2019d come true. Scarily enough, it seems that it ties in with my family.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When fidelity gets born, the elements shall fall into place.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first of hot ones will fall. Fidelity will turn and aid the officer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fidelity will find strength in the officer and will give strength to the officer and merriment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fidelity will set fire to the ice and will find its place among the first.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, this is interesting. I figured it out; we\u2019re the hot ones. Now, I don\u2019t like it that we will fall – or might fall because we can\u2019t fall. Not without a lot of trouble. And I like trouble. Nik likes trouble and don\u2019t get me started on Rebekah; she\u2019s trouble incarnate. I have no clue about fidelity, officer, and merriment. The witch showed me the corresponding tarot cards, but I\u2019m torn. The officer could be either Nik or Elijah. It\u2019s usually Nik, though. Merriment? Well, I don\u2019t see Finn being merry, is that me? Rebekah?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is exciting to know, though, that we will be in the presence of someone as magnificent as Carmen the original singer, slaughterer of thousands of Cold Ones before the Volturi finally were able to kill her. Or turn her.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we do come across a singer who\u2019s survived the presence of Cold Ones, we need to do everything in our power to protect him\/her. Perhaps enlist Rebekah\u2019s help when it\u2019s a man. I hope it\u2019s a girl. I can\u2019t wait to woo so much power. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I know for certain is that Nik has to be the one to turn it. Great. Another chance for him to be the big bully that he is, to showboat his power. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best to keep this a secret, knowing Elijah he will worry about everything.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Once she had transcribed what Kol had written all those centuries ago, her mind went into overdrive. Granted, if this was truly about her, she was going to be kickass, and all she needed was Klaus. Taking into account the last part of the prophecy that was tied to the Mikaelsons in this current time, Klaus first had to lose it all before he could turn her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had to stay alive for that, until his return and his part of his prophecy had played out. After that, everything was going to be okay. More than okay, it would mean that she could finally take her revenge, and then some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge burden had fallen off her shoulders, and she could feel how sleep overtook her mind and body, drifting off to a light sleep the moment she laid down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she eventually woke up, she could smell the freshly made bread that someone had gotten her. Coffee. Freshly squeezed orange juice. Was someone bribing her? Sitting up, she looked around to see Myriam sit in a lounge chair on the balcony drinking from a blood bag. Bella shuddered and got up to have something of her breakfast. She was hungry, not having taken the time to eat properly in the last two days other than junk and she needed to eat something proper. \u201cMorning.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, good, you\u2019re awake. Klaus was worried that Freya had put too big of a spell on you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKlaus? Was he back? How long was I out for? Freya spelled me? The bitch!\u201d She popped a piece of bread in her mouth. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you wake me when Klaus came back?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey were busy anyway,\u201d Myriam said as she discarded her empty blood bag. \u201cYou didn\u2019t miss much, trust me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care! I would have liked to see Klaus well with my own eyes! Where is he now?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTristan took Freya, so he and Elijah are after him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy the fuck is everyone taking everyone? Is that something you like to do for fun?\u201d Bella said annoyed. \u201cOh, we have a disagreement with that person. Let\u2019s kidnap it, torture it, poke it with a stick and release it again. Have them escape!\u201d She added mockingly. \u201cGeez, what are you people? Small children?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella!\u201d Myriam said shocked and watched as Peter turned the corner and halted immediately after seeing Bella\u2019s face. He wasn\u2019t going anywhere near her. Smart vampire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat? It\u2019s that easy, isn\u2019t it? You\u2019re more powerful; you can easily take your captors and kill them and get it over with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vampire didn\u2019t know what to say; she wasn\u2019t quite sure what Bella was getting at, that maybe Freya\u2019s sleep spell had somehow corrupted Bella a little. \u201cIt\u2019s not that easy in theory; I\u2019m sure Klaus has explained that to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, he did,\u201d Bella nodded as she popped another piece of bread in her mouth and took a sip of the orange juice. \u201cBut you know what that sounds to me? Sentimentality. I mean\u2026 you know that on the one hand, this other person, vampire, whatever, is a part of your history. You have a history with them and despite them being a pain in the ass, you can\u2019t just get rid of them without getting rid of a part of your past. On the other hand, that person is a fucking pain in your ass. Rip them apart and get it over with. Jeez.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cDon\u2019t you Bella me, Myriam!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeter!\u201d Myriam growled at the other vampire, who was grinning from ear to ear. \u201cWhat did you do?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothin\u2019,\u201d Peter grinned, casually leaning against the doorpost with his arms crossed over his chest. \u201cRight now, I\u2019m admiring the lil\u2019 Spitfire, because she\u2019s right. Someone causes you trouble but killing them immediately is out of the question because of sentimental reasons?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care about that, what\u2019s wrong with her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothin\u2019,\u201d he repeated with a shrug. \u201cMy best guess is that she\u2019s awakening, even without being supercharged as the prophecy foretells. She\u2019s a singer; she\u2019s always been a singer. It\u2019s been that instinct that has kept her alive for those years she was on the run from them and now that they\u2019re back in town, of course those qualities come back. Bella was known for her violent outbursts from time to time. She even punched a werewolf in the face, but regretted it after hurting her hand on him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJake had it coming. I want to hit him again. I will. Eventually. Asshole.\u201d Bella said as she downed her coffee and went to grab a few clothes. \u201cI\u2019m going to take a shower, and you better call Klaus to tell him I\u2019m awake, and he and I need to have a chat. I\u2019m fucking tired of being shoved to the side and treated as if I\u2019m fragile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are, cherie<\/em>,\u201d Myriam said as she watched her friend. \u201cYou\u2019re still human, and we all are merely trying to keep you alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella eyed Peter. \u201cHe tried to wake me, didn\u2019t he?\u201d She had woken up with a metallic taste in her mouth, no doubt Klaus trying to have her take some of his blood in her slumber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd he warned them that you\u2019d be upset if you\u2019d wake without him by your side. Again,\u201d Peter agreed. \u201cTake your shower; I\u2019ll go and try to find out how long your man will be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Bella startled when she suddenly felt Klaus\u2019 hands on her back while she was in the shower. \u201cWhy not take a bath, love?\u201d He said sweetly. She turned around to face him and took him in. Klaus was naked, dirty and hurt. His hair a mess and his eyes looked sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She put her arms around his waist and pulled him closer as she looked up at him with a small smile on her lips. \u201cRough couple of days, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel quite guilty for taking a few moments to relax,\u201d he admitted truthfully, his lips brushing the top of her head. \u201cWe still need to give Camille a proper send-off, but I feel that if we get complacent just for one second\u2026 we\u2019ll lose everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She gently guided him to the bath tub; he even moved as if he was tired of it all. She helped him sit down and started to rinse off the dirt and blood out of his hair, off his body, lightly touching his spots with her fingertips, making circular motions to make him relax. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be alright,\u201d she cooed, reaching for the shampoo to start putting it in his hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe witches dug up Jackson\u2019s heart,\u201d he said, his voice filled with hate. \u201cThey want to break the sire link.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan they do that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the right spell, the right ingredients\u2026 nothing is impossible. I certainly wouldn\u2019t put it passed Davina to\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was that worry in his voice? \u201cBut you don\u2019t get your power, your strength, from your sirelings, do you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot physical strength, no,\u201d a small smile danced across his lips as he enjoyed feeling her hands all over him. \u201cHowever, they are obliged to me. For instance, should I want to pick a fight with your Cold Ones, my progeny will have to fight for me if they want a shot at surviving my fight. If I die, they die. Then there\u2019s of course those in high places that I\u2019ve turned, those who aid us with for example legal documents. Should I want for something, all I need to do is ask.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella huffed as she massaged the shampoo into his hair. While she could see the benefit of knowing people in high places, did he actually have to turn them? \u201cWhat\u2019s the worst thing that could happen should Davina manage to break your sireline?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot everyone was happy about me turning them, even though I saved them from unsavory and unwanted situations. For example, there are countless of women I rescued from their abusive home or from their relatives who were ill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot everyone wants to be saved,\u201d she gently rinsed the shampoo out of his hair. \u201cI can understand that would tick people off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOthers were happy; I\u2019m not too worried about them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOthers? Like Myriam?\u201d She stopped doing what she did and moved to face him. \u201cJust how many people did you turn, Klaus?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m a thousand years old, love,\u201d he said with a slight chuckle, a sparkle in his eye. \u201cAnd I have to admit, that in the beginning, neither myself or my siblings were especially picky on who we turned. We found it easier to compel vampires we turned than to compel humans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy is that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause humans are magnificent beings who should be protected at all cost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut vampires were humans before they turned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re overcomplicating things, love,\u201d he softly kissed her. \u201cAs long as those vampires stay sired to myself, Elijah or Rebekah, they\u2019ll feel obligated to protect us, because even though they might be angry with us for turning them, now that they have the eternal life, they\u2019d want to keep it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo if your line gets broken?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that every enemy that I\u2019ve acquired over the last thousand years will come out of the woodwork and will want to kill me. They\u2019d kill me and live on as if nothing happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, that\u2019s not going to happen,\u201d she said, shifting again to continue cleaning him up. \u201cIf someone\u2019s going to kill you, it\u2019ll be me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus let out a chuckle. \u201cAre you keeping the trinket safe?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood,\u201d he mused. \u201cNow all we can hope for is that we\u2019ll find the new White Oak tree before our enemies do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was glad that he sounded more like himself now, less afraid, more confident in surviving this ordeal. \u201cNew?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pulled her into the water with him and held her tightly with one arm before running his fingers through her hair with his free hand. \u201cThe spell my mother used to create us upset the balance of Nature. Magic, no matter what kind of magic, is always looking for balance, just like nature. For example; you\u2019re from a long line of Travelers. When Silas and Amara drank the elixir of immortality, Nature rose against them and created shadow selves of them, doppelgangers, to die instead of the original templates. Or, in our case, mother\u2019s spell upset the laws of nature, that all things must die. She drew upon several things in existence to create us. The sun – which will burn us without the daylight rings that we wear, not kill us, but it would kill a non-original vampire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeats turning into a walking disco ball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrue,\u201d he smirked. \u201cShe also drew upon the power of the White Oak Tree. Now, that\u2019s the only thing that could kill an Original. We can burn it down, but another will sprout in a protected area to ensure that the balance can be preserved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo if your enemies would find it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll all be dead by the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, that sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus hummed in agreement. It was silly, perhaps, but he knew that Bella knew most of the information he had just given her; she\u2019d been living with Myriam for nearly three years, of course she would have picked up something, however, talking it all through with her gave him some perspective. Truth be told, either way, he would be royally screwed. However, with so many vampires obliged to protect him, to fight for him, there would be a chance he could survive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wasn\u2019t going to die. Hope deserved two parents who loved her very much so, and he wanted to spend the rest of eternity with Bella; if she wanted to do the same. \u201cNow, a little birdie told me you\u2019ve gone and done something I don\u2019t agree with\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, yes,\u201d she said with a grin, closing her eyes as Klaus\u2019 hands started to roam her body. \u201cBut at least I got results?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat you did. Tell me, how was my brother?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTasty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cWhat?\u201d she responded impishly. \u201cHe was a little rough around the edges, but I think he wishes to be here with us if only to witness the demise of so many Cold Ones. He also truly believes in Davina, that she can bring him back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have no doubt, either,\u201d Klaus responded as he took the soap and started to soap up Bella\u2019s body. \u201cThe little witch is a force to be reckoned with, and it\u2019s best to keep her at arms length in case she does something that irreparable. With her affiliation with the Strix coven, I\u2019m quite\u2026\u201d It was a good thing to take a little moment away from everything that was going on in his life, in their lives, in the life he shared with Bella. She always managed to calm him, to center him. To\u2026 \u201cBella,\u201d he felt guilty all of a sudden; he realized he\u2019d never told her how extraordinary she was. Any other woman would have simply packed up her things and left him when faced with the way he was handling things. The unintended lack attention. The threat of losing everything. And yet, she was here. She was still here. And, perhaps because he felt that the end was close, he needed to tell her that. \u201cDo you have any idea how extraordinary you are? How wonderful? Understanding?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKlaus\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel the need to apologize for the mess that we\u2019re in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat mess?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella\u2026\u201d he sighed as he tiredly rubbed his eyes. \u201cWould you please just let me—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d she said as she turned around to face him and kissed him tenderly. \u201cBecause nothing\u2019s going to happen and whatever will happen, we can fix it. You just do you. Do what you feel is necessary and I\u2019ll still be here. But you will live through all of this. You\u2019re Klaus fucking Mikaelson, and you\u2019re going to fuck me. Right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It was nice to wake up next to Klaus again, although it appeared that he hadn\u2019t had any sleep that night, and he looked annoyed. \u201cMorning?\u201d she said as she rolled back into him and put her legs around him. He was going to leave again; she could feel it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe wolves have found Tristan,\u201d he muttered, running his hand through her hair. \u201cWe\u2019re going to deal with him today, and hope they\u2019ll find Lucien as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know Lucien was missing,\u201d she propped her head up on her hand and looked at him. \u201cBut you know, I\u2019m starting to think that he\u2019s not on our side, either. Haven\u2019t seen him around much after Thanksgiving, for someone so hellbent on protecting his sire\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know, love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have to kill him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

She smirked as she crawled on top of him and used her weight to keep him down – not that it would make any difference if he wanted her off of him. \u201cMyriam said the same thing. You\u2019re all sentimentalists,\u201d Bella softly kissed him. \u201cOld friend or not, he\u2019s annoying and probably up to something. He needs to die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not that simple,\u201d he then looked at her, curiosity sparked. \u201cSurely you\u2019re not going to kill all Cold Ones when you\u2019re able to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy not?\u201d Bella shrugged. \u201cIf I kill them, they won\u2019t be able to hurt anyone else. They\u2019re a pest. A blight that needs to be burned. If I\u2019m truly going to be able to kill them, I will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat about Peter? You like him, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a means to an end. He knows that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was surprised to hear that, and for a moment feared that his Bella, his sweet, kind and loyal Bella, would turn into a monster when turned. They wouldn\u2019t be able to stop her if she\u2019d become a ripper as she was unable to be compelled. \u201cWhat about the non-Cold One afflicted?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThose are your problem, mister,\u201d she playfully smacked him on his chest. \u201cBut seeing as it takes a lot of strength to take on one Cold One, perhaps I could lend my strength to you when you\u2019re in a bind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus let out a snort and then lifted her off of him as he kissed her. \u201cI have to go. We have an old friend to catch and Elijah\u2019s been hissing my name from behind our door for the last 30 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHi, Elijah!\u201d Bella called to him as she wrapped herself back into the blankets before watching Klaus get dressed. \u201cI could stay in bed all day\u2026 naked\u2026 ready and waiting for you when you come back\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs much as I\u2019d love that idea,\u201d Klaus smiled at her. \u201cThere\u2019s no need, just stay safe. Don\u2019t leave the compound; Freya\u2019s told me that there are more Cold Ones about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella pouted. \u201cThere\u2019s no chance of you taking me with you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have no idea what we\u2019ll be walking into, and I\u2019m sorry, love, but you\u2019re a very fragile human being and quite precious to me,\u201d he replied and kissed her once he was dressed. \u201cI promise I\u2019ll return to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019d better or I\u2019ll find you, revive you and kill you myself,\u201d she commanded before she hit him over the head with a pillow. \u201cGo. Get them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus had been gone for hours. For hours and Bella watched the sky turn dark from the balcony overlooking the courtyard. Calmly, but still she felt on edge. Freya kept an eye on the increasing numbers of Cold Ones arriving in New Orleans, but Bella could feel it. It was hard to describe it, it was something she had felt in the presence of the Cullens, maybe a couple of times, but now that she was older, and apparently her Singer side more advanced, she could feel a coldness starting to cover the French Quarter almost as if it was a blanket. Or a fog rolling in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was interesting that, on the other hand, she\u2019d never thought it was actually real, that a long living singer could turn into a massive Cold One killing machine. And that she actually had a \u2018spidey sense\u2019. It was interesting how she could feel it adjust, how it tried to teach her how it worked. She ignored most of it at the moment, wondering where the hell Klaus was, but she didn\u2019t have to wait long for an answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After getting something to eat from the kitchen and resuming her position on the balcony, she overheard Marcel and Hayley argue and saw Lucien – Lucien – help himself to the Mikaelson family blood bag stash. It appeared that Hayley had found Lucien and thought it would be good to bring him \u2018home.’ Like a dog finding a stick to play with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had no idea that Aya was gonna take Klaus and Elijah down! And regardless, why the hell are we trusting this guy all of a sudden, huh? He’s the one who ran off with Aurora the first chance he got.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Klaus was taken. Bella was going to do something about that; she just had to stay quiet and bide her time, come up with a plan. One good thing about being ignored or left out of conversations about things was that you could listen carefully and, when needed, when capable, save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019d been avoiding everyone most of the day – or they\u2019d been avoiding her, no doubt having heard Myriam talk to someone about Bella\u2019s \u2018ridiculous\u2019 stance on killing things. She didn\u2019t particularly care for Marcel, but she had to agree with him at this point and firmly disagree with Hayley. Yes, Marcel had dug up Jackson\u2019s heart for the Strix, but by doing that, he\u2019d saved Hayley\u2019s life. Hope\u2019s mother. The mother of his sire\u2019s child. Bella would have done the same. Besides, Jackson was already dead anyway, would Hayley rather leave her child motherless?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t like hearing that Davina was truly going ahead with desiring Klaus and Elijah, but when Lucien spoke of an execution, she was wondering how that would work seeing as she was still in possession of the last of the White Oak\u2026 She put her hand in her pocket to confirm that the trinket was there and let out a breath of relief. \u201cHow would it be an execution? It\u2019s a desiring spell, they\u2019re still Original vampires,\u201d Bella asked from her spot above them. \u201cAnd I know of the location of the weapon that could kill them, so it can\u2019t be that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you sure, love?\u201d Lucien slurred his words; she could have sworn she saw some panic in his eyes. \u201cThey\u2019re quite confident about being able to kill them. Of course, they\u2019ll try to kill Nik first, because they don\u2019t want to accidentally eradicate themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure, so try again, Lucien.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr ask your know-it-all Cold One that you keep in the basement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t keep anything in the cellar. If he\u2019s there, he\u2019s there without my knowledge,\u201d she said as she made her way down the stairs, carrying her glass of iced tea. \u201cHowever, if you don\u2019t stop lying, I\u2019ll ask him to remove your heart, I\u2019m fairly certain he\u2019d love to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucien snorted as he shifted a little in his seat. \u201cWhat makes you think I\u2019m lying?\u201d What had happened to Niklaus\u2019 meek whore? This wasn\u2019t even Isa, Bella\u2019s alter-ego, no, this was a Queen talking. A huntress. Did Niklaus have any idea what he was getting himself into with her? Oh, who cared? With a little luck, his sire would be dead by the rise of the sun. And if not, by the end of this week at the latest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019ll be no killing,\u201d Freya\u2019s voice sounded before appearing from underneath the stairs. \u201cI\u2019m going to need Lucien to get Klaus and Elijah out of the chambre that they\u2019re in. The older the vampire, the better the battery, sort to speak. So, while I do that, you can go and stage a rescue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t be serious,\u201d Lucien huffed, grateful for Freya\u2019s interruption, he didn\u2019t have to defend himself, talk himself into a corner he couldn\u2019t get out of. Bella was perceptive, and he believed he had fooled them long enough. Well, her and Marcel at least. The others still seemed to believe him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think I can find a few wolves ready to help us out to buy you time, Freya,\u201d Hayley said as she rose to her feet and looked at Marcel. \u201cWhat about some of your vampires? Or are they too scared?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t order the Strix vamps to attack their coven of witches,\u201d Marcel said, rolling his eyes. \u201cJosh, maybe, but Davina will skin me alive if something happens to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think I can ask Myriam for the A squad, especially now Alina\u2019s turned\u2026\u201d Bella said a little absentmindedly. Her brain was working on something, but she wasn\u2019t sure what yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStay out of this, Bella, this isn\u2019t your fight,\u201d Marcel bit at her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cScrew you, Marcel,\u201d Bella said fiercely, wanting to throw her glass of iced tea against him but decided against it. \u201cI know I can help, and I can get some sturdy vampires to the estate as well. All Freya needs to do is make me invisible for the Strix, and I can get in. Then I\u2019m sure some Cold Ones will follow me. I\u2019m the perfect bait. Still human. Still tasty and something they want for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh hell no.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cActually,\u201d Hayley smirked. \u201cI like that idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs much as I hate to admit it, me too,\u201d Freya agreed and sighed. \u201cMy brother is going to kill me when he comes back but yes. I\u2019ll cloak you for the Strix. Save Niklaus and Elijah; I know you can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella smirked and nodded. \u201cGood. Now let me put on my sneakers and we\u2019ll go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

She was surprised it had been that easy to get involved. Not that she\u2019d have given up anyway. Bella knew almost every exit point of the compound; take the sewer if she had to; it wasn\u2019t anything new, she\u2019d done a lot of sewer living when she was still running from the Cullens. But she was glad that the only person who objected was Marcel. Of course, he had to; Klaus was his sire and Bella was Klaus\u2019… something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella quickly made her way to D\u00e9bauche, making sure she was seen out in the open, her scent in the air, and got in the car with most of the A Squad, who were managed to get into the trunk of the big town car Marcel was driving with the three of them. It was unbelievable how bendy they were. Unfortunately, Alina didn\u2019t have an easy transition; mostly because Peter had also bitten her and infected her with the Cold One venom, not having known that she\u2019d already been ingesting Myriam\u2019s blood. One of the warlocks was doing all that he could to save her from turning into a Cold One and a possible target for Bella. This was a good thing because Bella really did not want to kill her friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, Peter was quite the dumbass for someone with the knowledge that he had. Bella was glad he wasn\u2019t coming with; it was mostly to save his own skin and all, but she wouldn\u2019t want him to think he needed to protect her. The Strix vampires and witches couldn\u2019t see her. Not even Davina, but she could choose to reveal herself to Davina, and she\u2019d make sure she\u2019d be safe. Hopefully. Probably not seeing as Davina discovered that Bella had been lying and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t know what to make of the newest addition to the A Squad, Abeebee. She commanded a lot of respect with her presence alone. She was very intense, but Ace and Autumn seemed to like her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were almost at the Davilla Estate, Bella made the deliberate decision to go inside. She tried to make her thoughts as loud as possible so that Alice, too, would see her. Once Marcel parked in front, Bella made the deliberate decision to step out of the car and follow him in. She focused on her decisions, making her a beacon to everything and once she had snuck into the pool house, she stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not because she felt them coming but because of the sight in front of her and it made her stomach churn. Klaus and Elijah were in a pool, throats slit, blood oozing out of the cut and they weren\u2019t moving. The witches were chanting, and Davina seemed to be the most intense. Of course, she was hell bent on destroying Klaus. She had told Bella that she had tried to sever the link last year, to save Marcel and Josh when she killed Klaus. Something told Bella that Davina wasn\u2019t going to give up that easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swallowing back some bile, Bella knew that she couldn\u2019t intervene. She was invisible now; she needed to stay hidden and have the Cold Ones come and fuck shit up. And then, hopefully, Klaus and Elijah would be saved in time. She made it to the farthest corner of the building and waited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t have to wait long. She could hear crashing and ripping coming from the hallway, and she knew then, that for the last seven years, they had been intensely looking for her. The speed and ferocity they were showing now said as much. Agitation. Aggression. Desperation. Bella needed to become what she needed to become and kill them. There was no hesitation; it was almost like a frenzy they were in as they tore through the hallway and turned the corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella gasped when she got spotted by Garrett, Kate Denali\u2019s mate. A big grin appeared on his face, and he started to run to her, but a legion of Strix vampires under Aya\u2019s command flocked in and blocked his path. Bella had never seen so many vampires in one place. Five Cold Ones were fighting at least forty Strix vampires, if not more, as the Strix tried to keep them from getting to the witches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was satisfying to see the Cold Ones being torn to shreds and quite a few Strix vampires fell too, but Bella was glad to see the Denali\u2019s torn to pieces on the floor by the time that Elijah awoke from his torment and dragged one of the witches into the pool to feed. Bella fumbled the lighter in her pocket, would she dare to make it across the room to set the Cold Ones alight? She didn\u2019t want to give them time to reassemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hayley and Marcel got to their feet after being flung to the side by Davina and Bella watched Ace throw a flare into the Cold One pile, setting them ablaze as the other witches were killed. Elijah got out of the water, but when Klaus tried, Davina threw him right back in, including bowling over anyone who was not behind something. \u201cYou\u2019ve had your time!\u201d Davina snarled before she continued to chant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus started to scream in agony. Bella could feel the sound penetrate her skin, deep into her bones, sending waves of pain into her own body. Was this what they called sympathy pains? She wanted to get into the water, pull Klaus out of it and have him kill Davina, but it was likely that the witch would kill her first. Marcel doubled over in pain, but all Bella could do was focus on Klaus, willing Elijah to do something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon enough, Davina finished her spell, once again knocking everyone flat on their asses, and Bella scampered out of her hiding spot and jumped into the water to keep Klaus afloat. He looked unconscious, his veins evident and he just looked so dead. \u201cNo,\u201d she whimpered as she used all of her strength to keep him from sinking into the pool. \u201cNo, Klaus\u2026\u201d His throat was slashed, it was healing, but there was still blood, and she didn\u2019t even want to imagine what she\u2019d do if he truly were dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAllow me,\u201d Elijah crooned as he helped Bella to keep his brother afloat. He wasn\u2019t sure why she was here, who allowed her to be here. He didn\u2019t even want to think about that right now. He had watched his brother in worry before the veins retracted and his brother started to look a little less dead. Klaus\u2019 eyes opened then, looking for Elijah\u2019s and Elijah let out a breath of relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI felt them leave,\u201d Klaus said weakly. \u201cMy sireline is broken.\u201d He then looked at Bella. \u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She gave him a small smile. \u201cLuring Cold Ones here, causing a distraction,\u201d Bella replied with a shrug and helped him to get on his feet. \u201cHere,\u201d she said, holding up her wrist. \u201cDrink.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cDrink, Niklaus,\u201d Elijah commanded him. \u201cHayley and I shall take care of things here, but you need to take Bella home. Get some rest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Klaus practically fell out of the car when they arrived at the compound, and she was grateful to Myriam being there to help her get him inside. It was a good thing that Myriam had her hands full with supporting the hybrid because Bella just knew that her friend wanted to shake her and check her over to see if she was alright before giving her a verbal punishment. \u201cWhat were you thinking?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. \u201cThat was some good thinking, Bella, luring the Cold Ones to the Strix to get them killed and cause a distraction,\u201d she retorted, mimicking Myriam\u2019s voice. \u201cI was perfectly safe; the Strix couldn\u2019t see me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam noticed the marks on Bella\u2019s wrist and nearly dropped Klaus as he tripped. \u201cYou bit her!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRelax, mother hen,\u201d Klaus complained. \u201cShe offered, and I had to get on my feet somehow. What the bloody hell is wrong with me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou hemorrhaged an enormous amount of mystical energy,\u201d Freya replied as she was followed by Lucien. \u201cEnough to create a Nexus Vorti. It\u2019s nothing a good night\u2019s rest won\u2019t cure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad they didn\u2019t kill you, Niklaus,\u201d Lucien quipped as Myriam put Klaus down on the sofa and used her own blood to heal Bella\u2019s bite marks. \u201cWill you now believe me that —\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella winced when she heard the sound of breaking bones and tissue being punched through and then watched as Lucien dropped to the floor, revealing Peter standing where Klaus\u2019 sireling stood before, with a heart in his hand. A deafening silence followed, and Peter merely shrugged. \u201cTrust me. You didn\u2019t have it in you to kill him, and this will save you a lot of headache in the coming time,\u201d Peter explained before he broke out in a wide grin and looked at Bella. \u201cAnd you! Good job!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus used every inch of strength he had left in his body to get up and throw the Cold One into a wall. He had just killed history. A long life lived, a vampire who made history. Granted, Lucien was a giant pain in the neck, but he had accomplished so much, and Klaus had been proud of him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRelax, it\u2019s not as if his siblings died, you don\u2019t have a sire line anymore, remember?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven so,\u201d Klaus scowled. \u201cHe was my friend. Please, tell me what atrocities he was going to do in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCreate the beast of your prophecy, create the situation where the friend, family, and foe would end you all. Yep, I single-handedly took care of your prophecy. You\u2019re welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOut,\u201d he said with a growl. Lucien was a bastard and a brilliant one at that, one who created the antidote against a werewolf bite, but to create the beast? To be the end of his family? No, Lucien wouldn\u2019t do that. He was loyal. And after a very trying day, he now had lost an old friend. \u201cAnd for your sake, I hope that you\u2019ll leave New Orleans because once I\u2019m back on my feet\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll turn into a whiny brat because all your enemies will come for you now,\u201d Peter winked at him and then saluted. \u201cVery well. I shall make my leave. Good luck with the rest of the prophecy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella watched as Peter sped out of the compound and then threw a pillow towards Klaus. \u201cGo to bed or have a Snickers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTake him upstairs, Bella, I\u2019ll take care of what\u2019s left of Lucien,\u201d Myriam said kindly before Bella dragged Klaus off to take a relaxing bath first, clean him up, and then take him to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cI didn\u2019t get the chance to say this yesterday,\u201d Klaus said the following morning as he brushed some hair out of Bella\u2019s face. \u201cBut what were you thinking? I could have lost you, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI knew what I was doing,\u201d she softly kissed his lips. \u201cHow are you feeling today? Better?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease tell me you\u2019re still in the possession of the trinket I gave you,\u201d he replied once he knew she was fully awake. Yes, he had slept, but the moment he felt better he had woken up and hadn\u2019t been able to stop thinking about who was going to come after him now. \u201cIt\u2019s made out of White Oak and—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey,\u201d she rolled on top of him and kissed him tenderly. \u201cYou\u2019re safe. It\u2019s safe. Do you honestly believe I\u2019ll let anything happen to you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re a mere mortal, Bella, what could you possibly do to ensure my safety?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She knew this was going to happen. He\u2019d told her that he had felt secure with all the vampires he had sired because their lives depended on his. That despite their anger towards him that they were still happy with their immortality. Now that that link was gone, they could come after him for vengeance. But to have it happen as soon as this? \u201cThis mere mortal would do anything to keep you safe, Klaus Mikaelson, because she loves you. Now stop your moping. Save that for your siblings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His eyes met hers and he swallowed hard; she had this determined look on her face, and he couldn\u2019t do anything but to nod slowly. \u201cNow, about that Cold One friend of yours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe hasn\u2019t been wrong yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps, but between Myriam killing Aurora for your safety and Peter killing Lucien for all of our sakes – if we have to believe him, that only leaves Tristan with a solid link to our past.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd he\u2019s an asshole too, so he\u2019ll be dead soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cI\u2019m not going to say it again, but your sentimentality is your weakness. You made a name for yourself as a ruthless vampire, taking what you wanted, no matter the consequences. It\u2019s fine that you\u2019re more in touch with your feelings in your personal, private, life, but damn it, Klaus, act weak, and your enemies think you\u2019re weak too. Act weak for long enough and you\u2019ll actually become weak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSays the little girl who\u2019s been running from an army of Cold Ones for years and falls into depression now and then. Who doesn\u2019t recognize danger even if it\u2019s being waved in her face!\u201d He pushed her off of him and got out of bed to get dressed. \u201cYou have no right to lecture me on this, Bella.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am not lecturing you, Klaus,\u201d she said as she sat up and watched him. \u201cI know how you feel right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, do you? You have no idea!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs if the world\u2019s been pulled away from underneath you, as if you\u2019re alone. It\u2019s okay to be scared, Klaus, but you have to remember that you\u2019re not alone. You\u2019ve got Elijah. Rebekah. Hayley and Hope, they\u2019re still here, and they won\u2019t go anywhere,\u201d she said calmly. \u201cSo what you\u2019ve lost your entire sire line? You\u2019re still the same old scary hybrid everyone thinks is a monster. No doubt your enemies will come as groups, knowing that they can\u2019t take you on alone. That\u2019s how afraid they are of you. You\u2019re still you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have no idea what you\u2019re talking about,\u201d Klaus said forcefully. \u201cI\u2019m going to Aya\u2019s home with Elijah and look for answers. This whole thing about killing me drives me to believe that she has some White Oak somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella let out a frustrated sigh as she fell back onto the bed. \u201cYou need to talk to a therapist or something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s dead!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen organize her fucking wake, you asshole!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
