Chapter 15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Bella didn\u2019t see much of Klaus the next few days as he was moving heaven and hell to make sure that the Strix didn\u2019t have anything in their possession that could kill him. Even went as far as destroying everything that Aurora had done, going through her things and avoiding Tristan as he went. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A part of her wanted to leave the compound, avoid Klaus, but she knew that if she\u2019d set one foot out of the compound that she\u2019d be scooped up by a Cold One. The air in New Orleans felt riddled with them, and it was still strange that she just knew it. She didn\u2019t have any idea where they were, just that they were close. She couldn\u2019t get warm either when she was sitting on the balcony; front or back, it was even worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also didn\u2019t want to leave the compound, because that meant leaving him, and that was something she wouldn\u2019t do unless he\u2019d tell her to leave. And despite his paranoia, he still hadn\u2019t done so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, she had found another book on the Cold Ones and their lore in Elijah\u2019s library which he generously had shared with her, knowing that Bella loved history and that she wanted to kill some time. The book wasn\u2019t a treasure trove like Kol\u2019s book had been, but it made her understand her current feelings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cold Ones were quite scared of singers, despite their attraction to them; it started with one vampire, but the longer the singer lived, the more vampires liked the scent of the singer\u2019s blood; causing the vampires to fight amongst themselves, often to the death, until there was one winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While singers were generally women, they had encountered a male one once or twice when a family wasn\u2019t blessed with girls as children. There was one story where a coven of female vampires fought for the attentions of their male singer; ending up killing him in the melee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a given that singers were created by the Travelers to end the Cold Ones, to hunt them down and rid the world of the plague and this book had several eyewitness accounts of the first supercharged singer called Carmen, with a note that all singers worked differently. Carmen\u2019s voice was her weapon – coming from her career and passion for singing. Bella thought it would be interesting to figure out what she\u2019d be, seeing as she loved history and books. Was she going to pelt the Cold Ones to death with books? Bore them to death?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granted, she had to give herself a pat on the back for her quick thinking to lure the Denali\u2019s to the Strix\u2019 lair and have those vampires kill them off. It had been smart. Intelligent. However, seeing as she didn\u2019t want other vampires to fight her battles for her, she would have to think of other things. Maybe Elijah had books on how to make a bomb? She could lure the Cold Ones to an empty space and blow them to smithereens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t sound too exciting. Maybe, once Klaus would turn her, her teeth would be able to cut through marble and steel so she could take a bite out of Edward and his family. Which meant she\u2019d have to come close. While she had learned some self-defense, she wasn\u2019t quite sure if it\u2019d measure up to what she needed to be. It wasn\u2019t as if becoming a vampire would bless her with ninja fighting skills, would it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She should turn, but she wanted Klaus to turn her because they\u2019d been talking about it for so long and she now felt that she was ready. Willing to do her part, because despite Klaus\u2019 anger the morning after he lost his sire line, he was right. She was a mere mortal, and if she was going to hang around longer, she needed to become sturdy like a vampire. Less easy to kill. Like a vampire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She loved Klaus, she actually loved him, and knowing what happened to most of his exes, she wanted to make sure he wasn\u2019t going to be left alone because she died. If he still wanted her. Best thing, for now, was to keep her distance and let him rage. Elijah and Freya were keeping an eye on him, and she was there for him when he needed her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella was grateful that Klaus stopped for a moment to participate in Cami\u2019s wake. It was beautiful, and alcohol flowed nicely – at least that was what she was told; she didn\u2019t want to risk a Cold One attack to rain down upon the wake. On top of that, Bella didn\u2019t know Cami that well, only through the stories Klaus told her about her and through the brief interaction she had with her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was sitting in the study now and nearly got herself, and her chair, knocked over by Klaus, who stormed in, half drunk. \u201cWhere have you been?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOut. Drinking. Rousseau\u2019s,\u201d he muttered. \u201cPretending to talk to a ghost.\u201d He looked at his siblings who joined Klaus in the study. He looked lost. Sad. Scared. \u201cIt was him. It was Gaspar Cortez.\u201d He said knowingly, affirming his suspicions that people were coming after him now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freya sighed as she looked away from her brother. \u201cI assume this is someone from your box of letters?\u201d She sounded as if she didn\u2019t want to believe him. Bella knew that even the older sibling was fed up with Klaus\u2019 antics, but for the sake of family, they were entertaining his fear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe youngest son of a particularly vile family of warlords I dealt with in the 17th century,\u201d Klaus said dismissively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah frowned. \u201cDidn’t they burn that philistine pigsty into the ground?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A smile appeared on Bella\u2019s lips when Klaus scoffed. This was turning into a typical sibling conversation, wasn\u2019t it? One filled with memories. Sure, brought on by someone who was going to try to kill Klaus, but still. She loved stories like these. Because it was history, and Klaus and his siblings had lived it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPigsty?\u201d Klaus was appalled. His siblings never had any taste. \u201cBelaga was my favorite artist retreat! Someone had to pay for that, so I murdered Gaspar’s brute of a father.\u201d Oh, he saw Elijah sigh, yes, his brother never appreciated the finer things in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd?\u201d Freya coached him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd one or two—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFive,\u201d Elijah interrupted him, annoyance evident in his voice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFive of his bloodthirsty brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon’t forget the mistress,\u201d Elijah reminded his brother, a playful note in his voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh!\u201d The hybrid took offense to that. \u201cThat was an accident!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah rolled his eyes and looked at his sister to explain. \u201cThe point is that Gaspar was but a footnote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUntil he became a vampire, hell-bent on hunting me,\u201d Klaus added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI still don\u2019t understand why you\u2019re so scared, Klaus. You can easily take him on,\u201d Bella said from her position behind the desk. \u201cI know you told me about the possibilities of a new White Oak somewhere, but do you honestly believe he\u2019d have tracked it down if he was just a footnote to you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe’s a cunning deviant, known to compel hoards of the helpless to aid him with his tasks,\u201d Klaus started. \u201cYou see, this is exactly what I was concerned about. Devils of all kinds, crawling out of their crevices to strike at me,\u201d he paused then, straining his hearing and heard some intelligent muttering and footsteps that he recognized all too well. \u201cSpeaking of which\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella blinked and watched Klaus rush out of the study. Exchanging a look with Elijah and Freya, they all went after him to see what was going on. Much to all of their surprises, Klaus was stunned, looking at someone. Kol. \u201cNow, Nik, you did go after my girl,\u201d Kol spoke as he approached his brother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt can\u2019t be\u2026\u201d Klaus said stunned as he took a few steps towards Kol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stayed near the door; she already felt as if she was intruding on a private family matter, which was ridiculous. She was a part of the family, wasn\u2019t she? Why else had everyone been so concerned with her safety? Out of fear for Klaus? Were his siblings even still afraid of Klaus now that his sire line was lost? Was this going to affect her in any way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davina stepped forward, afraid that something would happen to Kol. \u201cIt’s Kol. When I broke your sire link, it created a surge of power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freya was disgusted as she fell in line next to Klaus. \u201cYou stole the Nexus Vorti,\u201d she said coldly. Bella added the words \u2018You bitch\u2019 silently in her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella couldn\u2019t help but feel proud of Davina. She had actually managed to bring Kol back from the dead. Something Klaus had thought possible but thought Davina wouldn\u2019t do. Or at least die trying. She thought that Freya and Klaus could be a little more grateful towards Davina, and apparently, Davina thought the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davina rolled her eyes at the siblings. \u201cAnd brought your brother back from the dead!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella wasn\u2019t sure if Kol was pretending to love Davina still, or that he was just with her out of loyalty, as a thank you for bringing him back, but he once again came to her defense. Telling his siblings that they should be thanking her. She watched Klaus hug his brother and then decided that she was, indeed, intruding on something and quietly backed towards the open door. It didn\u2019t take long for Bella to realize that Klaus wanted to be alone with his family to discuss things as she could hear him tell Davina to get the hell out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was ridiculous. She was hiding again. Again. She had made so much progress and yet, not so much. But it wasn\u2019t up to her if she was going to be included in family business, it was Klaus\u2019. She was going to hear all about this when they were in bed anyway. Or maybe not. It depended on whether or not Klaus was in a sharing mood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sent Peter, a Cold One, away. Was he going to send her, an almost Cold One hunter, away too? Nah. He wouldn\u2019t, would he?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNik, you don\u2019t have to worry about your bloody prophecy anymore, didn\u2019t the Cold One take care of that for you?\u201d Kol\u2019s voice sounded annoyed. \u201cPeter\u2019s a decent Cold One, you know. He knows his stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFine then—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, brother,\u201d Kol smirked as he walked into his brother\u2019s bedroom, finding the human girl sitting cross-legged on the bed with a big book in her lap. \u201cYou\u2019re still human?\u201d He looked at his brother. \u201cWhy is she still human and not turned into the Cold One hunter?\u201d Kol skipped his way to the bed and sat down next to Bella with a big, goofy grin on his face. \u201cYou do smell delicious, want me to turn you instead?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAw, and here I thought you were going to behave yourself for Davina,\u201d Bella countered playfully. \u201cGood to see you not covered in bruises, Kol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, that\u2019s right, I forgot you two had already met and forged a bond of some sort,\u201d Klaus huffed, leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know,\u201d Kol said as he kept his eyes on Bella. \u201cYou\u2019d think that for someone who\u2019s afraid of the big bad prophecy that he\u2019d take it more into account. What was it\u2026 hmm\u2026 something about losing everything but siring the Singer would make him more powerful?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, is that what it meant?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course, darling. He\u2019s the audience, you\u2019re the performer,\u201d Kol smirked. \u201cAlthough\u2026 I assume you\u2019ve read my notes by now and told Nik about the prophecy about you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have,\u201d she said with a slow nod. \u201cBut to be honest, I have no idea what it means.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not important, Kol. She can wait a little longer while we sort out our more immediate problems,\u201d Klaus said a little patronizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat about her immediate problems, brother? New Orleans is crawling with Cold Ones at the moment, and while the witches and some of the vampires are trying to fight them, Bella can end them in one fell sweep. Doesn\u2019t she deserve to feel safe? Don\u2019t you want to be reassured of your strength?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKol, I lost my entire sire line, they\u2019re coming for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExactly, Nik, and you\u2019re going to need all the help you can get. Turn her already or I will, and it\u2019s likely I will get the strength she\u2019ll add on because like yourself, I\u2019ve lost everything. In fact, I\u2019ve died so many times now that I\u2019ve earned it to turn her and become stronger than you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou will do no such thing!\u201d Klaus growled, pointing at his brother. \u201cShe\u2019s mine!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs she? When\u2019s the last time you\u2019ve fed her your blood?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella quickly made her way off the bed as Klaus lunged at his brother and they fought on the bed. What was going on? Was Kol deliberately provoking his brother into turning her or was he serious? If she had to believe the notes, he was probably serious, but this was ridiculous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnough!\u201d Elijah\u2019s voice sounded angrily from the door. \u201cAre you two quite done?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, look, daddy\u2019s home from the quick errand he had to run,\u201d Kol quipped, earning him another punch to the face from Klaus before Elijah pulled the two of them apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs much as it pains for me to say this, Niklaus, but Kol is right. We\u2019ve allowed you to be selfish for too long; it\u2019s time you concern yourself with others. Especially with your neglected girlfriend, who, if I may add, has been nothing but flexible and accommodating to you.\u201d Bella opened her mouth to say that it was all right, but Elijah held up his hand for her to stop talking. \u201cIt\u2019s not alright, Bella. Freya and I have watched you tread ever so lightly, but enough is enough. It\u2019s time that Niklaus helps you with your problem. It is more immediate seeing as they\u2019re about to overrun the city, and I don\u2019t see Niklaus go after them to take care of them for you in his current state.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would!\u201d Klaus huffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve busied yourself by chasing after possible splinters of White Oak, brother, fuelling your own paranoia while you have nothing to be afraid of, it\u2019s time to end your pity party and turn her.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFine,\u201d Klaus sped over to Bella, bit his hand for her to drink from and forced it upon her before sinking his teeth into her neck and draining her dry. He was angry; his siblings were bullying him, and he was just going to take care of this to satisfy them before he\u2019d resume tracking Gaspar and killing him. Maybe have Freya find a way to track his enemies so he can surprise them and take them down first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had taken her by surprise; she had struggled, but only briefly. Once her heart stopped, he lifted her limp body into his arms and gently placed her upon the bed. \u201cNow, back to the order of the day. Cortez.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re such a brute, Nik,\u201d Kol scowled as he checked her over. \u201cShe\u2019s meant to be giving you power and turn into something powerful herself, and you treat her like dirt. She\u2019s your girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho understands that I–\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freya sighed deeply and flicked her wrist, snapping Klaus\u2019  neck and dropping his body to the floor. \u201cI am sorry,\u201d she said coldly. \u201cBut he needs a timeout.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah let out a relieved sigh. \u201cThank you, Freya. Is she comfortable, Kol?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d he replied as he tucked her in. \u201cShe\u2019s going to be extremely ticked off when she wakes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll cross that bridge when we come to it,\u201d Freya said with a shrug. \u201cWe\u2019ll have to track Cortez and take care of him for Klaus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol huffed. \u201cWho was he again?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGaspar Cortez\u2019 family decimated Belaga,\u201d Elijah explained with a playful smile on his face, knowing what was coming next, Kol had had an even bigger distaste to the place than he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUgh, Belaga! That place was hideous!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh yes, and I can hear Klaus already scold us for having no taste,\u201d he agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNik had a way of saving letters, does he still have them?\u201d Kol asked carefully, lifting his brother\u2019s limp body and placed him on the end of the bed. \u201cBecause if he does, I could teach you a spell to actively track his enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, he was looking at them earlier,\u201d Elijah said, following his siblings out of the room. \u201cThey\u2019re in the study.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~o.O.o~ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Klaus was awake, he wasn\u2019t happy at all. How dare Freya snap his neck? Yes, he may have lashed out a little bit, and he may not have given Bella an easy and painless death, but he had his reasons. In the case of Bella, he was angry; he was sure she\u2019d forgive him. \u201cWhat am I looking at?\u201d He asked, looking at a map with blobs of blood everywhere, but New Orleans was clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour greatest hits,\u201d Elijah remarked. \u201cAs you can see, we\u2019ve taken care of Cortez while you were taking your nap, but Kol and Freya have created this map.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some dots were moving towards New Orleans, and it was troubling. \u201cI have to apologize for my behavior, it was—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou. And you\u2019re forgiven, Niklaus,\u201d Elijah replied calmly, clapping his brother on the back. \u201cSo this may only be a fraction of our potential enemies.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol chuckled and shook his head. \u201cIn hindsight, we could’ve been nicer to people. Or at least left fewer survivors.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignoring his brother, Klaus turned to his other sibling. \u201cWe don’t know all their motivations. Half of these people could want to put the bullet in your heart! End the sire war with the pull of a trigger.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have an army devoted to keeping me alive. The only people that care to protect you are standing in this very room,\u201d Elijah said seriously. \u201cAnd in your bedroom and your beloved club,\u201d he paused then, almost as if he was weighing the gravity of his next sentence. \u201cAs you well know, Niklaus, there is another way.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other way was undesirable. It meant he\u2019d have to run and disappear. Something he was good at. Something his entire family was good at, but mainly him. Going away would be easy. Especially to save his own skin. He wouldn\u2019t go alone, either. Elijah had told him about Hayley\u2019s revenge of killing the Strix vampires involved with Jackson\u2019s death, and if he\u2019d run, he\u2019d have to take her and Hope with him. Hope was half his, something his enemies could use against him. They didn\u2019t know about Bella, so she\u2019d be safe at the compound, but he had to run. To disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to run?\u201d Freya said incredulously. The mighty Klaus Mikaelson, running away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus chuckled. \u201cThere was a time when the name Klaus Mikaelson was little more than a rumor. A shadowy figure who cast fear into the very bones of any who heard whisper of him. I don’t run, sister. I disappear. And tonight, the three of you are going to make that possible.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She hadn\u2019t dreamed it, had she? Without warning, Klaus had killed her. Squeezed her like a Capri-Sun packet and drained her dry. It had been nothing like she\u2019d imagined; when she had hoped as a teenager with Edward on romantically biting her and turning her, she\u2019d lost that idea, but she had believed that Klaus would at least talk to her first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granted, they had talked about her turning quite a few times, but this sucked. Pun intended. Her mouth felt dry like cotton, she felt icky and a little bit weak, as if she was recovering from the flu or something. Making her way out of bed towards the bathroom, she decided to have a quick shower to freshen herself up, drink some water and find Klaus. He deserved a fist to his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she returned, she found Kol sitting on her bed, a compelled chef standing next to him and Kol had the biggest smile on his face. \u201cHow are you feeling? Did the downside of transitioning already set in? Or do you still feel a little bit like a human?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella realized why Kol was smiling so widely. She was naked, not having bothered to get a clean change of clothes with her to the bathroom as it was her and Klaus\u2019  bedroom and not expecting someone else. Shrugging, she dropped her towel and walked to the closet. A lot of men had seen her naked before; this wasn\u2019t any different. If Klaus didn\u2019t agree with this, then he\u2019d have to battle it out with his brother himself. \u201cWhere\u2019s Klaus?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He looked as if he was debating something and looked at the cook before watching the letter in his hand. \u201cEh, you should read this. I think it\u2019s safer for all of us if you read it before you fully turn\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella scowled as she pulled a shirt over her head and took the letter from Kol. \u201cWhat did the asshole do now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust read the letter, darling, he\u2019ll explain it himself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood Morning, love.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I sincerely want to apologize for my behavior. For neglecting you and most of all, for giving you a horrible death. Please forgive me, I was behaving uncharacteristically.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly; I wish I could be with you when you awake. I know how frightening a transition can be, and you deserve better than waking up alone, ready to proceed with the next chapter in your life as a vampire. I hope that whoever is with you, will treat you well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for my reason for not being with you, I have to disappear. With my enemies fast approaching New Orleans, it\u2019s best if I\u2019m not there. Yes, this leaves my siblings cleaning up the mess that I\u2019m in but this is how I, how we, survived for many years. I\u2019m not alone. I have Hope and Hayley with me; my enemies could know about my daughter and use her against me. I have hope that they don\u2019t know about you, and you\u2019ll be safe at the compound under the protection of my siblings. They assured me that no harm will come upon you whether inflicted by one of our own or the Cold Ones.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no doubt you\u2019d like to give me an earful. I\u2019ve instructed my brother to buy you a mobile phone so you can do just that. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please know that I wished I could have taken you with me, but you\u2019re safer at home.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forgive me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yours, always, Klaus.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeriously?\u201d Bella said as she looked at Kol. She could feel her anger make her blood boil. \u201cThe asshole leaves, just like that? And you let him?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes. When you\u2019ve lived as long as he has, there are periods of time where he just simply disappears. His name nothing but a rumor, a whisper, a reminder of the big evil monster that he projects to be. In this situation, it\u2019s best for him to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd what do I do? Knit booties for Hope? I can\u2019t knit, Kol. Give me your phone; I want to call him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s a good idea,\u201d Kol watched her carefully. \u201cHave some blood first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, no, I want to call him now. Give me your phone or I\u2019ll go to Elijah.\u201d Sighing, Kol handed her his phone. Bella dialed Klaus\u2019 number and put him on speaker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHello, Kol.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThink again, asshole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLove, I can explain, no doubt Kol has given you—\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, well, you know that thing I do with my tongue that you love so much? Don\u2019t even think about asking me to do that to you for the rest of this century, dickhead,\u201d she said before disconnecting the call and handed Kol his phone back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFeel better?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, thank you,\u201d Bella sighed relieved. She didn\u2019t feel that much better, but at least she had given Klaus an answer. One that hurt him the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mischievous spark appeared in Kol\u2019s eyes. \u201cSo, what\u2019s that thing with the tongue you do?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I promised Klaus I wouldn\u2019t take clients anymore, Kol,\u201d Bella said playfully as she sat down on the bed next to him, still only wearing a shirt. \u201cBut since he\u2019s not here, I suppose that you can find out for $250.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd where, pray tell, am I going to get such money? I\u2019ve been dead for months! Elijah hasn\u2019t given me access to the family money yet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell then,\u201d Bella said as she pat his shoulder. \u201cI guess you\u2019ll never know.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoesn\u2019t matter anyway, I\u2019m taken. Although I don\u2019t know for how long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy\u2019s that?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI promised Davina I could control my bloodlust but\u2026 when I\u2019m around her, I can\u2019t. I want to rip out her beautiful little throat and drink her blood. The urge to kill her is so strong, and I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat sucks.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He let out a chuckle and nodded. \u201cYes. I might have to lose the love of my life because all I want is to sink my teeth into her. I was never one to control my bloodlust, but this is different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d Bella replied, genuinely feeling for him. \u201cYou\u2019ve been through so much; you deserve some happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, but here I am, looking after a transitioning vampire singer. Any symptoms yet?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She smiled at him and then looked around. \u201cNo, you\u2019ve been kind to me with the curtains closed and noise kept to a minimum\u2026 I\u2019m still thirsty but\u2026 yeah\u2026 I doubt a glass of water would do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, how about you just drink a little from this fine man here before you start experiencing the nasty side effects of being in transition?\u201d Kol thumbed over to the chef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have to kill him, do I?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, but that\u2019s up to you. Restraint is not easy to learn for a new vampire. Hell, I never bothered learning control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan\u2019t you just pour something in a cup? I mean, I would have been fine with a blood bag\u2026\u201d she looked at the chef. It was Klaus\u2019 favorite, what if she ended up killing him? Right now, she didn\u2019t mind, but she\u2019d eventually regret it. \u201cI mean, I don\u2019t want to be a princess vampire, I know what you\u2019re thinking, but he\u2019s a good chef. He\u2019s a good man. I don\u2019t mind going after the bad guys and eat them but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUgh. Morals,\u201d Kol sighed as he got up from the bed, grabbed a glass from the side table and had the man bleed into the glass before handing it over to Bella. \u201cWe\u2019ll have to go bad guy hunting then for a proper feed. Luckily for you, the Quarter has its seedy places, you\u2019ll never go hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYay.\u201d She took the glass and threw it back in one go. She wasn\u2019t new to drinking blood, but vampire blood tasted differently than that of a human, and this was so damn good. Bella could feel how her face changed and licked her lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol frowned as he looked at her wrists. She was fully healed. He grabbed her wrist, getting a little resistance from Bella and looked at it, gently running his thumb over where there used to be the Cold One scar. \u201cHuh. Interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She pulled her hand back as she wanted more blood, Kol\u2019s remark not hitting home. She put her finger inside of the glass to get the remaining blood out and licked her fingers as she looked at Kol through her lashes. \u201cSo so so so good,\u201d she said with a moan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, no, you can\u2019t do this to me, Bella,\u201d Kol groaned, feeling the blood rush to places he didn\u2019t want to have it rush to. That was supposed to be for Davina and Davina only. It didn\u2019t help that he had seen Bella naked just minutes before and that she was only wearing a shirt to cover herself. He quickly snatched the glass and refilled it with the chef\u2019s blood before ordering him to leave. Kol then gave Bella the glass back and headed to the door. \u201cPut some clothes on, darling; I\u2019ll come back to check up on you in a minute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNeed a hand?\u201d Bella teased him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll just quickly pop over to Davina\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAw, that\u2019s no fun,\u201d Bella said with a pout, getting off the bed and drinking from the glass as she walked towards Kol. \u201cI\u2019m fun,\u201d she added with a sultry smile dancing on her lips. \u201cI mean, really. I\u2019m so much fun\u2026 you have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella, you\u2019re going to have to entertain yourself,\u201d Kol pushed her back into the room. \u201cGet dressed; I\u2019ll be back shortly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd here I thought you were supposed to be the fun brother!\u201d Bella said with a scowl, turning her back on him and drained the glass again before getting dressed. She was going for the hot, but comfortable look. Tight fitting jeans, because her favorite pair of boots fit so nicely underneath it, and a crop top. It was cropped maybe a little too much to be considered to be a fitting crop top, but it was hot outside, and she wanted her skin to breathe. She wanted to feel what it was like to feel everything, absorb everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she was hungry. She needed more blood. It was time to find a villain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cSomething\u2019s not right,\u201d Klaus muttered as he sat in the car next to Hayley. It was a good thing that she was driving because he could feel a sudden burst of power igniting inside of him, something he had felt leave only a couple of days before, tickling the inside of his veins. But he also felt hyper vigilant, on the prowl, and seeing as he was enjoying a somewhat relaxed car ride with Hayley and their daughter, this sensation was out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d Hayley asked concerned, quickly looking at Klaus, scanning his face, before looking back at the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Klaus said as he took his phone and called Kol. \u201cBrother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t expect anything less,\u201d he replied cautiously. \u201cTell me, where is she? With you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had to take care of something, Nik; I left her alone in her room to get dressed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cWhat? She was naked when she came out of the bathroom while I was waiting for her, how was I supposed to know that she hadn\u2019t brought any clothes with her?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella has plenty of clothes in our bedroom, Kol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNik, she went into the bathroom without a change of clothes, so when I waited for her in the room\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus let out a low growl. \u201cShe\u2019s mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I know. Don\u2019t you worry about that, I know, but she\u2019s definitely related to the Petrova\u2019s. Anyway, what can I do for you?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere is she now?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told you, the bedroom.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd where are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the courtyard?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo check on her, now.\u201d Klaus hit his face with the flat palm of his hand while Hayley let out a chuckle. His brother was quite tiresome, he had specifically asked for Elijah to introduce Bella to her new status, but instead, the idiot brother was doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI swear, she was just here\u2026 Nik, she can\u2019t go out without a daylight ring.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was panic in Kol\u2019s voice. Good. \u201cIf anything happens to her, I will tear out your heart and shove it down your throat until it comes out the other end! Find her! Now!\u201d Kol was right; she couldn\u2019t go out without a daylight ring if she didn\u2019t want to end up like a piece of crispy bacon. But this was Bella they were talking about; something special by herself, a singer, and she survived the Cold Ones. Surely she could escape the sun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSure thing, Nik, I\u2019ll also have Freya do a spell to figure out what\u2019s going on with you, how\u2019s that?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus merely growled in response and disconnected the call. \u201cWe have to go back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKlaus, I\u2019m sure they have it under control,\u201d Hayley laughed. \u201cShe\u2019s a newborn vampire, what could go wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He looked at her and rolled his eyes at her. \u201cDo you really wish for me to answer that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

She had dumped the rapist she\u2019d caught in the act – and then eaten – into a dumpster before resuming her hunt. They were close, but not that close. They\u2019d retreated because of the sun, not even their cloaks would be able to protect them that well against it. Not that they\u2019d be that much of a spectacle in New Orleans. There were crazier things in the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was glad that she didn\u2019t sparkle in the sunlight, in all honesty, when she finally realized that she was out in the sun, she\u2019d already been far away from the compound. And she didn\u2019t combust, either. Klaus turned her, as a vampire, not as a werewolf, she should be burning in the sun, but she didn\u2019t. And she didn\u2019t have a daylight ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it because of her job description as the Cold One killer? That because of that she didn\u2019t burn? Maybe it would be helpful to find Peter and ask him. Or talk to Kol about this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nah. Right now she couldn\u2019t even be bothered. She existed, and that was good enough. Speaking of Kol, just like on the Ancestral Plane, she could feel a certain pull to him, and she was sure she\u2019d overstepped her boundaries with him. Made him feel uncomfortable and\u2026 but on the other hand, she didn\u2019t feel guilty about it, either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she should be. She knew she should be feeling guilty about this pull she felt towards the youngest Mikaelson brother and Bella knew she needed to tell Klaus about this, but she wasn\u2019t going to. She was angry; there was so much rage and resentment towards Klaus inside of her, and she was going to enjoy every single bit of the pull towards Kol and play with him. Fuck with his mind a little, see how far she could go before the puppy would break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella smirked as she ducked behind the bushes in the Bayou and continued her hunt. The wind was blowing at her so the Cold Ones she\u2019d find wouldn\u2019t be able to smell her and she\u2019d surprise them. Oh, this was going to be fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cNiklaus just sent me a message,\u201d Elijah remarked calmly as Freya was doing a locator spell on Bella, but was thus far, unsuccessful. \u201cHe\u2019s wondering what we\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust tell him that we\u2019re attempting to locate his troublesome newborn girlfriend seeing as he decided to take off after turning her and leaving us to babysit,\u201d Freya countered angrily. \u201cBut the little bitch doesn\u2019t want to be found.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat leaves two options; either St. James\u2019 Infirmary or D\u00e9bauche,\u201d Elijah said as he dialed Myriam\u2019s number. \u201cWe\u2019ll have her found in less than five minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cElijah?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella woke up,\u201d Elijah greeted her with a smile on his face. \u201cShe came through her transition quite beautifully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood. When Klaus comes back in town, I\u2019m going to crush his balls in my hands for leaving her alone like that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He winced at that. \u201cSo I take it she\u2019s not with you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you mean, she\u2019s not with me? I thought she was with you? You just said she was doing well with her transition! How can you lose her, Elijah?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor the record, I didn\u2019t lose her. It was Kol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey!\u201d Kol objected. \u201cI needed to get out of there because she was—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow many times does your brother have to die to learn a lesson? And she was what?? I dare you to say it…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI heard that!\u201d Kol huffed. \u201cNaked and coming on to me! Quite successfully too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd you gave her a daylight ring?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s just it, she doesn\u2019t have one,\u201d Elijah said calmly. \u201cBut no matter, we\u2019ll find her, don\u2019t worry about it.\u201d Before he knew it, he was knocked off his feet by Myriam, who had rushed over to the compound at top speed. \u201cYou didn\u2019t have to come,\u201d he said as he got back to his feet and looked at her. \u201cWe have it under control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh yeah, it certainly looks like you\u2019ve got it under control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAllow me to call Marcel; he\u2019s at St. James\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam looked at Freya for an answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t track her. She\u2019s either there or \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t say it,\u201d Myriam hissed. \u201cAnd if we find her, I\u2019m taking her back to the club until Klaus gets back. The Original family is obviously not equipped to look after a newborn vampire as stubborn and intelligent as Bella.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn our defense, the last newborn we\u2019ve raised by ourselves was Marcel,\u201d Kol objected. \u201cAnd how was I supposed to know that she\u2019d take off?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCasse-toi ta Connard<\/em>!\u201d Myriam rolled her eyes at him. \u201cYou shut up, you lost her, you have no say in this!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust calm down,\u201d Freya said calmly as she continued her spell. \u201cCall Marcel; not all is lost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She growled and walked to one of the end tables to pour herself a bourbon. \u201cWhat else aren\u2019t you telling me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah sighed and tiredly rubbed his eyes as he called Marcel. \u201cShe and Niklaus might be connected on a different level, but we\u2019re not certain of that yet. We figured it was more important to find her first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course they\u2019re connected on a different level, they\u2019re fucking each other, aren\u2019t they?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot like that, differently. We don\u2019t know yet. It\u2019s just an idea, a theory. Yes, Marcel, is Bella with you? Ah, I see. Well, thank you. No, everything\u2019s fine. Thank you,\u201d Elijah disconnected the call and sighed, looking at Freya. \u201cAre you certain she\u2019s not dead?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m pretty sure our brother would be calling and throw insults and threats to our head if that was the case,\u201d she replied as she sat down and thought for a moment. \u201cWhat if we can\u2019t track her because she\u2019s a hunter? Not like any of the Five or anything, but she\u2019s a special kind of breed of vampire. Or perhaps all the protection spells we\u2019ve bombarded her with over the last two weeks have somehow been absorbed into her body making her even untraceable to my own magic?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was almost as if a lightbulb went on over Kol\u2019s head. \u201cI know why she doesn\u2019t need a daylight ring to walk about in the sun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
