Chapter 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

After two weeks of Saint-Tropez, Kol wanted some more action in their lives. There were so many ancient settlements along the coast and there was one close by, perhaps only an hour away – well, less with Kol driving the Porsche to its fullest potential, which was also close to two theme parks; one waterpark with a lot of crazy slides and another one with roller coasters. Some adrenaline in their bodies for fun was going to be amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granted, he wasn\u2019t too happy with the lack of choice when it came to hotels or apartments, but they were only going to stay there a few days at most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, they travelled to Cannes, Kol didn\u2019t like it very much but it was something Bella needed to experience, the crazy buzz of Cannes. Next up, Antibes. He knew that Bella didn\u2019t like sea animals in captivity, but there was a place where they had killer whales and you could actually meet the dolphins. Of course, he had arranged it so that they could privately swim with the creatures for a while, and Bella did like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were a month and a half into their walkabout and halfway through Italy as they followed the coast, Kol received a message from his brother Niklaus that they needed Bella\u2019s help in New Orleans. He found this strange, because they had made it clear to Bella, but also to themselves, that they\u2019d never rely on Bella to bail the family out of tight spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they were sitting on the terrace of their hotel on Giglio Island and sipping on a glass of wine, Kol was slightly worried by Nik\u2019s text message and decided to call him on speaker. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on, Nik? Are you alright?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, just fine,\u201d <\/em>the hybrid sneered on the other end of the phone. \u201cYet again a relative causing some problems and whatever we try, we can\u2019t stop it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol thought for a moment. It was next to impossible for the relative being either one of their parents or their brother Finn, as they were dead. \u201cWho?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur lovely aunt Dahlia.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuh,\u201d he said impressed. He had heard of his mother\u2019s sister, of course, but had never truly met her as mother and her had fallen out with each other. But how was she still alive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a very powerful witch, brother, she\u2019s tied herself to the magic of our sister Freya.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFreya died?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, Kol. That had been a lie\u2026 come home, I\u2019ll explain when you get here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, Nik, that might take a little while,\u201d Kol scratched his head, looking over at Bella, who didn\u2019t look all too happy. \u201cWe\u2019re on an island. We\u2019re going to have to take a ferry to a peninsula and then drive to Rome to get to a plane\u2026 Ah\u2026 we\u2019ll be there as soon as we can be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019d better hurry, this woman is a bloody nuisance and the Regent and the Ancestors are getting antsy. Bella, after all, promised to ensure their safety when one of our enemies would come to town.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI did do that,\u201d Bella winced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, you did do that,\u201d Kol laughed as he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. \u201cBut that\u2019s alright, we can always choose to ignore my brother\u2019s plight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m still here!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always keep my word, remember?\u201d Bella reminded him. \u201cBesides, it even counts double now that I\u2019m an honorary Mikaelson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing honorary about you, Isabella Swan. You\u2019re a Mikaelson, whether you like it or not. Now, come home and help us to keep the peace with the bloody witches.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSee you in two days, Nik,\u201d Kol let out a snort and hung up on his brother. He tossed his phone onto the table and relaxed in his chair as he grabbed his glass of wine. \u201cWe\u2019re not leaving just yet, it\u2019d be a shame to have this good wine go to waste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ferry stopped for the day anyway,\u201d Bella shrugged, but already worrying about the state of New Orleans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, no thinking about what could, can or won\u2019t happen, we\u2019re still on the other side of the world and tonight, we\u2019re going to conclude this epic trip epically,\u201d he playfully hit her on the head with a napkin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe could always go back after, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol smiled brightly. \u201cYes, yes we can, darling, and we likely will!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Myriam greeted them at the airport after landing. The moment Bella stepped off the stairs, Myriam was bear hugging her. \u201cOh, it\u2019s so glad to see you in person again. The pictures were great but to see you still in one piece after all this time is so much better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHi,\u201d Bella laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd thank you for all those lovely little gifts you sent us. I had Klaus put up a shelf with his own bare hands to accommodate it all, he wasn\u2019t amused,\u201d she put an arm around Kol, too and marched them to the car. \u201cYou look great. Nice and tan and happy. I\u2019m glad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow bad is it?\u201d Kol sighed as he got into the car with the girls and put his arm around Bella. \u201cYou\u2019re being too friendly, Myriam Jenkins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour long lost sister is a bitch,\u201d Myriam said grumpily. \u201cWhich I can completely understand because she\u2019s a victim of circumstance and basically your aunt\u2019s well of power, but damn, she\u2019s a true Mikaelson, just unpolished like you and your siblings. Klaus, of course, is amused by it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were always told she died of the plague.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that was a lie that Esther felt she could live with, the truth is a lot darker than that. Esther couldn\u2019t conceive so she made a deal with her sister who performed some magic and in return, would receive Esther\u2019s firstborn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol groaned. \u201cAs if our family couldn\u2019t get any more dysfunctional. What do they want?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFreya wants to be free of Dahlia and join the family, Dahlia wants more power, guess who she\u2019s targeting?\u201d Myriam shot at Kol, irritated. \u201cI swear, she\u2019s messing with Klaus\u2019 head. I\u2019m surprised he was able to call you for help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not,\u201d Bella said as she put her head against Kol\u2019s shoulder as she watched New Orleans come closer and closer while they drove to the city. \u201cHe might simply be pretending to be messed with, he has quite the high tolerance to magic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDahlia sounds like a leech,\u201d Kol sneered. \u201cWhat\u2019s Nik thinking? What could we do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not what you can do, it\u2019s what Bella can do,\u201d Myriam pointed out. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a witch on our side to deal with the magical enemy aspect of our lives and the one we do have is currently still linked to that shrew so she\u2019s of no help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get it,\u201d Bella said quietly. \u201cI\u2019ll fix it, just like I fixed Silas. We don\u2019t want the witches to be upset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella, we\u2019ve tried, truly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it,\u201d she smiled at Myriam. \u201cAnything for the family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol huffed. \u201cI\u2019m not sure if I want another sibling around, no doubt she\u2019s a very powerful witch and Nik will be in awe and Elijah will be practically worshipping her and—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey,\u201d Bella smacked his arm. \u201cYou\u2019ve got me now, always.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol softly kissed her. \u201cSo you\u2019ll make Dahlia go poof and then we can continue what we were doing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Myriam pouted. \u201cYou\u2019re staying put for a while. We all miss you. Hey, Bella, maybe you can come and help out at the brothel?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbsolutely not!\u201d Kol objected. \u201cIf anything, she\u2019ll be giving me private shows!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

They heard the entire story when they arrived at the compound, even meeting Freya Mikaelson, the eldest sister, and while it had been hard to believe, Bella could tell that this woman, this girl, was genuine about her heritage, much to Kol\u2019s annoyance. He believed that her only redeemable quality was that she was a kickass witch, and his brother would love to have her around just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was clear that Freya had everyone who had remained in New Orleans wrapped around her finger, and Bella believed that her intentions were of the good kind after having simply listened to what had been shared that night about her and Dahlia. And the past. Freya wasn\u2019t malicious, she was scared. Maybe she\u2019d settle down somewhat once her biggest fear was defeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Bella\u2019s status as a demi-Goddess was kept from Freya. Despite the family bond, Klaus liked to have an ace up his sleeve, and it was only for Bella\u2019s protection. \u201cSo, what needs to happen to Dahlia to break her link to you?\u201d Bella piped up eventually, as she had patiently listened on the couch, sipping her wine. \u201cDoes it require a spell or?\u201d Oh, Bella knew it had been a spell; Freya had a dark cloud wafting all around her and it was likely that she could cleanse it with ease, as she had done previously on different occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe needs to die,\u201d Freya said angrily before pointing at Bella. \u201cI thought this meeting was family only?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLove, Bella is our family as much as Myriam is,\u201d Klaus said kindly. \u201cI suggest you be nice to her because she might be your only hope in ridding yourself of Dahlia\u2019s link, and our only hope to stop the wicked witch of the West. I also suggest not to antagonize her, she\u2019s known for her tricks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh please,\u201d Freya huffed. \u201cI eat witches for breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella blinked at her and then shrugged before finishing off her wine. \u201cAlright, I\u2019ve heard enough, I\u2019m going home,\u201d she softly kissed Kol. \u201cDo you want to stay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, I\u2019m going to have some blood and then I\u2019ll be up,\u201d he smiled at her. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to cleanse her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe doesn\u2019t deserve it,\u201d she kissed him again before heading out of the courtyard to their apartment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol had an amused look on his face before heading towards the kitchen to fetch him some blood, hearing his siblings talk amongst themselves as he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s in your best interest to at least try to be civil with our Isabella,\u201d Elijah\u2019s voice sounded. \u201cWhile she and I don\u2019t see eye to eye, I do respect her immensely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn other words, he\u2019s afraid of her,\u201d Myriam chipped in. \u201cBut he\u2019s right; be nice to her or she won\u2019t help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat can she do that I can\u2019t do myself?\u201d Freya defended herself. \u201cYou\u2019ve all been saying these wonderful things about her and how she\u2019ll make sure that this family is safe, but she can\u2019t be more powerful than me, what can she do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe has saved this family more than once in the short amount of time that we\u2019ve known her and for that, she deserves our respect. While getting her and Kol back from their trip to help us, it\u2019s still up to her if she\u2019s willing to do so,\u201d Elijah replied calmly. \u201cWhile I predict she\u2019ll help, it\u2019s uncertain how or when.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol sauntered back onto the courtyard, blood bag in his hand as he sipped from it. \u201cOh, Bella will help, alright,\u201d he said as he passed his family. \u201cIf only our long lost sister had been kind, she\u2019d have been released from our Aunt\u2019s influence and link tonight,\u201d he then waved. \u201cGood night, Bella and I are going to try not to be too jetlagged in the morning while Freya ponders the next thing she\u2019ll say to my Bella. Might I suggest it to start with an apology?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something in the back of his mind was nagging at him and he sauntered right back into the courtyard. \u201cChristmas, 1914,\u201d he said as he looked at Freya. \u201cYou were there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs my date!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam laughed. \u201cTook him long enough to realize he dated his own sister. Perv.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothing happened!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t really a date,\u201d Freya explained, a humorous smile on her face. \u201cKol\u2019s so easy to flatter. Throw enough pretty words at him and he\u2019ll think you\u2019re in love with him. I simply wanted to spend time with my family even if they didn\u2019t know who I was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol scowled. \u201cYeah, Bella was right in not helping you right off the bat,\u201d he said as he turned around and left again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cI don\u2019t want to have breakfast at the compound,\u201d Bella sulked as she had entangled her legs with his and was using her body to stop him from leaving the bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou did promise to help,\u201d Kol reminded her, not minding that Bella wanted to stay in bed longer, they were quite comfortable in their own bed, in their own little nest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure I can help Freya without alerting your aunt to what I\u2019ve done,\u201d she sighed as she drew little circles on his chest with her index finger. \u201cThe dark cloud around her is so thick, it might not even work and it\u2019ll only end when I take care of Dahlia. Using Freya as bait wouldn\u2019t really work. She wants Klaus, above all. She knows that Freya is linked to her and has no other option to return.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow do you know?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella shrugged. \u201cIt\u2019s just a feeling, I guess. I mean, it\u2019s really the ancient magic that\u2019s the problem here. The spell has been on Freya for a thousand years\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSounds to me you have performance anxiety,\u201d Kol grinned as he flipped them over on the bed and started to nuzzle her neck. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, darling, I\u2019ll be happy to fix that for you,\u201d he whispered in her ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDown boy,\u201d she giggled as she tugged on his hair. \u201cI need to show off today,\u201d she softly kissed him as she kept tugging on his hair. \u201cBut I promise you can have me anyway you want tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnyway I want?\u201d Kol\u2019s eyes lit up with excitement. \u201cOh, the possibilities\u2026 I might have to go shopping for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She laughed as she covered her eyes with her hand. \u201cOh boy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He grinned as he got off of her. \u201cGo take a shower. I won\u2019t join you, I might not be able to keep my hands to myself now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella hummed for an answer, kissed him and started to get ready for the day. She already missed the idea of not having to put much clothes on other than a light shirt, a short skirt and a bikini underneath. But no, it was back to jeans and a shirt now, fully dressed. Her body was only Kol\u2019s to look at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAw, darling,\u201d Kol whined as he left the bathroom after a quick shower and saw Bella\u2019s choice of clothes. \u201cJeans?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She flashed him a smile. \u201cMy ass looks great in these, don\u2019t you think?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cButt! Exactly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol wondered if Freya\u2019s first words to Bella were indeed an apology. Elder sister with a tragic backstory or not, it didn\u2019t give her the authority to be superior to everyone in their family. Niklaus and Elijah were still in charge, and if not, they needed to grow a pair of balls and tell sister dearest that she had to calm down. The way Kol saw it, both Myriam and Bella were higher up the family totem pole than their blood relative. Freya was more of an intruder than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they stepped into the dining room, Freya was the first to rise. \u201cBella,\u201d she said a little unsure. \u201cI have to apologize for my behaviour last night upon our first meet,\u201d she continued, and Kol was satisfied. \u201cYou do have to realize that I have been looking for my family for centuries and I have been fighting our aunt for just as long and I never believed that my siblings would be happy with someone outside the family.\u201d Alright, Kol thought. Close enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t think they deserve to be?\u201d Bella questioned, a little surprised by Freya\u2019s admission. \u201cWhat\u2019s the point in having a long life when you can\u2019t share it with someone and be happy? I know your life hasn\u2019t been easy, Freya, and that you\u2019re happy that you\u2019re reunited with your siblings, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to be rude to those in this family who are not related by blood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol simply smiled in admiration of his girlfriend. Bella in Goddess mode was hot as hell. Granted, she was hot, period, but when she put human Bella aside in exchange for a better version, it almost melted his insides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not a witch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, no, I\u2019m not. And I\u2019m not going to tell you what I am until we\u2019ve gotten to know each other a little bit better, but trust that I am more powerful than you can imagine,\u201d Bella replied to Freya before stepping up to her and placed both her hands on Freya\u2019s shoulders in an attempt to cleanse the elder Mikaelson. She managed to chip away a little bit, but had to give up. \u201cEh, I tried. I\u2019ll have to try to do it the other way around then,\u201d she shrugged before sitting down beside Kol and grabbing them some beignets before she looked at Klaus. \u201cYou\u2019re going to take me to Dahlia and by the end of the day, everything will be over and done with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLove, I can\u2019t take you to our deranged aunt, what if—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe won\u2019t,\u201d Bella said playfully. \u201cI could handle Silas, I can handle Dahlia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have been Dahlia\u2019s prisoner for so long, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re up against,\u201d Freya said a bit confused, almost as if something had changed around her. \u201cHer connective magic is strong and she will draw from me if you engage her in battle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI won\u2019t engage her in battle,\u201d Bella blinked at Freya. \u201cI try to resolve things peacefully without any bloodshed on my behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have all the faith in our Bella to take care of our current problem, she knows we won\u2019t ask for her help unless there isn\u2019t anything we can do,\u201d Klaus said amused, seeing the confused look on Freya\u2019s face. \u201cAs you said a while ago, Freya, we\u2019d need to have the ashes of a viking and we\u2019d need a witch like my mother – which would mean we\u2019d have to resurrect our parents and that\u2019s not an option. You shall be free at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re going to hang out with Nik today, I\u2019m going shopping for tonight,\u201d Kol whispered in Bella\u2019s ear. \u201cDon\u2019t break him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella huffed as she pushed a beignet in Kol\u2019s mouth. \u201cOh, I won\u2019t, I have other plans!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On their way to the Bayou – that was the best place Bella could think of to meet a deranged Mikaelson without too much damage done to surroundings, Klaus filled her in about what Dahlia\u2019s original plan was; to have as many first born Mikaelsons in her fold as possible, for power. To covet the magic. It was no secret to Bella that the Mikaelsons were witches before they turned into vampires; Kol had openly admitted that he would have loved to have his magic back, but that he took solace in teaching everything he knew to witches while still learning from them as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their trip in Italy they had met a witch or two and Bella had loved the excitement in his face when he could teach a witch something they hadn\u2019t previously known. He\u2019d be the perfect candidate to open a school like Hogwarts and teach young witches. Come to think of it, Bella loved to teach as well, maybe that wasn\u2019t such a bad idea\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She then snorted. Yeah, right, a real life Hogwarts, that was a copyright battle waiting to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo what\u2019s the plan, Bella?\u201d Klaus asked curiously. She had made him pack an extra set of clothes and he wasn\u2019t quite sure why. He had an idea, but that would be ludicrous, wouldn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat little shed at the water is still there?\u201d She questioned him as they got out of the car and headed deeper into the Bayou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood,\u201d she smiled at him as she made sure no one was around them and turned into a carbon copy of him. \u201cOH! Bad mistake! Bad! Oh, these jeans! Fuck!\u201d Bella winced as she tried to get out of her pants as quickly as possible while Klaus\u2019 voice came out of her mouth. \u201cOh, this hurts, oh fuck!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus was amused as he merely stood back and watched. \u201cPerhaps you should have changed into my clothes first?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t ever have to do that when I changed my appearance before!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, yes, but those were different girls with the same body build as you, love,\u201d he smirked as he watched himself topple over as Bella wrestled with her jeans. \u201cI must say\u2026 this is hilarious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStop laughing and help me!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, do I really sound like that when I demand something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes! But worse!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sighing, he pulled off her shoes and tugged on the jeans, surprised by the fact that she wasn\u2019t wearing any underwear and saw his junk stick out. \u201cBloody hell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella growled as she snatched the bag and found Klaus\u2019 pants. She got to her feet and blinked at the sensation of something between her legs. Looking down, she raised an eyebrow. \u201cHuh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Wiggling her hips, she watched as the penis swung left to right, much like a pendulum and giggled before going a little faster, make it almost look like a helicopter. \u201cLook at me! I\u2019m a helicopter!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella!\u201d Klaus growled at her. \u201cThis is not a time to play!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, but it is!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPut some pants on,\u201d he growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She pouted as she did as she was told, before looking up at him with a mischievous look in her eye. \u201cWant to fuck with everybody\u2019s heads later?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMyriam will kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNah,\u201d Bella said as she pulled off her too tight shirt and got into the one provided by Klaus before getting into his shoes. \u201cNow, you go hide in that cabin, I\u2019ll make sure Freya has a pet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He scowled, then. \u201cAre you sure this is going to work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d she sighed and pointed at the cabin. \u201cGo, before I turn you into a woodlands creature and I might not be able to find you to turn you back.\u201d Bella then squeezed her crotch. \u201cOh, so you guys do like it when this happens!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cKol\u2019s is slightly bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

\u201cI\u2019m serious!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

She was still pointing at the cabin and wouldn\u2019t stop until Klaus was inside with her stuff. Shaking her head, she started to stretch a little and crack her neck, changing her stance and hoped that she looked more Klausy than Klaus. Taking a deep breath, she decided to take a page out of Klaus\u2019 playbook and started to call out to Dahlia. \u201cDahlia! Meet me NOW!\u201d Bella could hear how far her voice – Klaus\u2019 voice – carried, and was amazed by that. \u201cI. Am. Waiting!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNiklaus, you have my phone number, why do you need to make such a dramatic spectacle out of everything?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella turned to the voice and saw an older, brunette woman stand in front of her, looking pretty pleased with herself. She had cold, brown eyes and her appearance somewhat reminded Bella of Elijah. Dahlia was definitely their aunt. \u201cWell,\u201d she said casually with half a shrug. \u201cIf this is my last moment as a free person, I figured I could do whatever the hell I wanted, don\u2019t you agree?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dahlia cocked her head a little to the side. \u201cYou have been fighting me on this for weeks, why the sudden change of heart?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am tired of fighting and you have taken advantage of my sister for far too long. I shall take her place and you can bind yourself to me, allowing you to live forever without having to take a 100 year nap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd what makes you think that I am after you, Niklaus?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am the Original Hybrid, I am the strongest of my family and in absence of children for you to take away from their parents, I\u2019m saving you the trouble of having to—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStop talking,\u201d Dahlia replied as she circled Bella, eyeing her curiously. \u201cI don\u2019t want you. Granted, immortality will be a bonus, but you are nothing, Niklaus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m here willingly. Freya has been kept against her will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, Niklaus, the reason I went after you<\/em> is because there is a power surrounding your family that I have never felt before and I sense that that power has returned after a short absence, no doubt your solution as what to do with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella blinked. \u201cMy brother was dealing with his grief over his ex-girlfriend overseas, and yes, he has returned, but Kol is no more powerful than Elijah or Rebekah. It is me that you want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh dear child, I never said it was a family member,\u201d Dahlia said patronizingly. \u201cTell me, what is she?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well fuck. Dahlia wanted her. \u201cNone of your concern.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo not test me, Niklaus. You will surrender the girl or I will kill every single one of you! I will take what has been promised to me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou were promised the first born children of our line,\u201d she countered angrily. \u201cWhich is preposterous and wrong. You can\u2019t change the rules simply because we are all vampires and cannot have biological children of our own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, but I can,\u201d Dahlia flicked her hand to cast some spell, but Bella wasn\u2019t even flinching. \u201cWhat\u2019s this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSurprise, bitch,\u201d Bella said as she finally found the right amount of energy to turn Dahlia into an animal. Quick on her feet, she grabbed the rat by the tail. \u201cKlaus! I hate rats!\u201d She called out as she looked at the squirming black rat in disgust. \u201cPlease take her from me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh no, love,\u201d Klaus said as he emerged from the cabin. \u201cYour creation, your responsibility. You don\u2019t have to take her back with us, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know that Silas and Amara haven\u2019t turned back but I don\u2019t trust this one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen allow me to kill her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Bella said as she now cuddled the rat. \u201cYou stay away from her. She\u2019s a gift. For Freya.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella still hadn\u2019t turned back to her normal self when they arrived back at the compound. Klaus was quick to hide, allowing Bella to mess with everyone present, wondering how long it would take for them to notice that it wasn\u2019t Klaus they were dealing with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella walked up to Freya and handed her the rat. \u201cYour problem has been dealt with, sister,\u201d she said proudly. \u201cI suggest you find a nice little cage for your tormentor to live out the rest of her days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow did–\u201d Freya blinked at the rat and then at Klaus. \u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s for me to know, and for you to find out in due time,\u201d she smiled knowingly before walking to the nearest table and poured a large glass of bourbon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNik, where\u2019s Bella?\u201d Kol asked from his position on the couch as he drank from a servant after his shopping. \u201cWhat is she planning?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe decided to go straight home,\u201d she replied as she passed Kol with a smile on her face, causing him to blink and then smile back at her. \u201cSomething about you not being all too happy with her choice of clothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight\u2026\u201d Kol dropped the servant and casually looked around. \u201cSo, all went well then?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course, what did you expect?\u201d Bella had nearly the air knocked out of her lungs when all of a sudden she was up against a pillar with Myriam\u2019s lips on hers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol blinked as his mouth fell open in shock. Oh, if only Myriam knew! Was he going to say something? Nah, this was actually quite hot. Besides, it was Myriam, not a complete stranger. \u201cOh my.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you looking at?\u201d Myriam shot at Kol. \u201cIt\u2019s not as if you\u2019ve never seen this happen before!\u201d She tugged on Klaus\u2019 pants with a grunt. \u201cOff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, yes,\u201d Bella grinned. \u201cI\u2019ve discovered something quite magical today,\u201d she said, immediately dropping Klaus\u2019 pants, revealing his penis. \u201cLook what the guys can do!\u201d She said as she started to wiggle. \u201cHelicopter!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freya nearly dropped the rat in shock upon seeing Klaus\u2019 exhibitionism and his out of character behaviour. \u201cBrother, are you on drugs?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah peeked out of his room before heading straight back in, whatever was going on, it was none of his business, despite his curiosity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, really, Kol, this is awesome!\u201d Bella pushed passed Myriam to walk over to him and he immediately shielded his eyes. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t need to see your junk,\u201d Kol whined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, but you know what I figured out? It\u2019s a bit smaller than yours! Poor Myriam!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam\u2019s eyes grew big. \u201cSomeone please tell me what\u2019s going on! Now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol pulled up Bella\u2019s pants and quickly fastened it, just in time too, as Freya cast a spell to send Bella flying across the courtyard. \u201cFreya!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is not our brother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course it\u2019s not!\u201d Kol whined as he helped Bella back up to her feet, Klaus\u2019 face now adorned with Bella\u2019s signature pout. \u201cThis is my girlfriend playing a prank!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was highly uncalled for,\u201d Klaus\u2019 voice sounded before revealing himself from behind a pillar, an amused smile on his lips. \u201cBut thank you, Freya, for your willingness to do everything to protect this family, how are you feeling?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam growled as she slapped Klaus across his face. \u201cCochon!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t agree with her, love,\u201d Klaus rubbed his cheek in frustration. \u201cThis was all her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe hell it was!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI thought she wasn\u2019t a witch?\u201d Freya questioned as she looked at the Klaus doppelganger. \u201cThis is impossible!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella let out a whine as she turned back to her usual self, Klaus\u2019 clothes now too big around her. \u201cI\u2019m not a witch!\u201d she retorted before looking up at Kol. \u201cLet\u2019s go home, I need a hot bath.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

They stayed in New Orleans for a few weeks, getting to know Freya better, but also to entertain the family, but both Kol and Bella were itching to go back to what they\u2019d been doing previously; travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella wanted to check up on Damon and Stefan Salvatore, much to Kol\u2019s dismay, so they spent a week in Bella\u2019s little cabin in Mystic Falls before picking up Myriam in New Orleans to go to a convention in Las Vegas to let out their inner geek. Granted, Kol was pretty much a closeted geek, but he did like the superhero movies and he loved video games and Bella wanted to go to see the actors of her favourite TV shows in person. Besides, if Kol got bored, he\u2019d hit the strip and do some gambling while the girls were geeking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of it all, there were some great resident bands and musicians in Las Vegas; granted, Kol wouldn\u2019t want to be caught dead at a Shania Twain concert, but Green Day was right up his alley, and he knew that Bella and Myriam liked some of their music as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He watched with pride as Bella and Myriam mingled with the \u2018fangirls\u2019 of that TV show Bella had been writing about for years, Supernatural, was it? He overheard them talk about their favourite stories and as it turned out, Bella was quite known in that circle; at least her pen name was, and she wasn\u2019t in the habit of revealing herself. Myriam knew that, so she basically outed Bella everytime her pen name was dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam and Bella went to concerts he didn\u2019t want to go to – Backstreet Boys, really? And back to the convention floors, but after a week of either trailing behind them and be bored, or gambling and eventually get bored, Kol had enough. Myriam was stealing his girl and that was going to stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had arranged a surprise for Bella, which hadn\u2019t been easy to do even with compulsion because he had to find the right people first, but that had been alright, it stopped his boredom for awhile. He was pretty sure she was going to like this, as they had discussed doing something similar in Naples, Italy, before Nik called them back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol put her into the passenger seat of the Jaguar convertible he had rented, and drove off. \u201cWhere are we going?\u201d Bella laughed as she held on to the door as Kol was, as usual, demanding every ounce of speed out of the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a surprise,\u201d Kol smirked, not taking his eyes off the road. \u201cYou will love it.\u201d It was the perfect night to do this; despite the temperature dropping quite a few degrees at night, they were going to stay warm in the comfortable tent he had people set up for them in the middle of the desert, off the beaten path. They were going to spend the night underneath the stars and their mode of transportation would be horses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella\u2019s squeal upon seeing the ranch made his heart flutter. She was excited alright. \u201cOh, really? We\u2019re going horseback riding?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmongst other things,\u201d Kol laughed as Bella started to bounce in her seat. \u201cI know how much you love these creatures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you kidding me?\u201d she giggled. \u201cIf it hadn\u2019t been for us living in the middle of New Orleans, I would love to have a horse of my own!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe could always move.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Bella shook her head. \u201cNew Orleans is our home and we\u2019re close to the family. Sure, we could move to the outside of New Orleans but\u2026 nah. Then we\u2019d have to travel a distance to reach the shops.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol laughed as he parked the car. \u201cYou\u2019re just lazy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDamn straight,\u201d she replied. \u201cWow, look at those gorgeous horses,\u201d she sighed happily as she got out of the car and breathed in the scent of horse manure and horse sweat. \u201cThe smell is amazing\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re insane,\u201d Kol remarked, shaking his head. \u201cWho loves the smell of manure?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cHorse shit is different than cow shit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all the same to me, darling,\u201d he took her hand, greeted the ranch owner and headed straight for their horses; two tan Quarter Horses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAren\u2019t we going to need a guide or go with a tour?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I know the way. I have been plotting and scheming while you and Myriam were having fun, plus, I have an excellent sense of direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first part of their journey was on the path that the ranch used for their tours, but then Kol veered off and Bella followed. The scenery was amazing, the sun was setting and all these little animals came out to play while others disappeared. \u201cI love how you keep surprising me, Kol,\u201d Bella smiled as she gently pat her horse\u2019s neck. \u201cYou think of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere we are going, there\u2019s even a hitching post for the horses with food and water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy hero,\u201d she giggled as she gently nudged her horse into a light canter. \u201cIt\u2019s been years since I rode a horse, this is amazing, thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, but we\u2019re not done yet,\u201d he grinned. \u201cKeep up, if you can!\u201d Kol galloped away from her and all Bella could do was follow, chase him through the canyon until he finally came to a full stop near a small clearing where there was a small tent with a burning campfire in front of it, and as he said, a hitching post with food and water for the horses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He allowed Bella to settle the horses while he pulled a cooler out of the tent and started to cook the steaks over a rack over the campfire. Kol hated camping out; there was nothing comfortable or fancy about it, but he made sure that they were going to be comfortable anyway; only the best air mattress available in the tent, nice warm sleeping bags and good food. Bella liked the simpler things, and this was definitely that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella sat down next to him and snuggled up before kissing him on his cheek. \u201cWe\u2019re going to spend the night?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d he smiled at her. \u201cOr would you like to return to civilisation?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, no, this is great! Just you and me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd Mister and Disco.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, and them, but I doubt they fit inside the tent,\u201d Bella giggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019m not into beastiality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh,\u201d Bella cooed as she peeked into the cooler and found a bottle of wine. \u201cOutdoor sex! Underneath the stars!\u201d Not finding any mugs or glasses, she opened the bottle and took a sip out of it and let out a big burp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, that\u2019s not lady like at all.\u201d Kol laughed as he took over the bottle, drank some from it and produced an even bigger burp. \u201cOh, I\u2019m such a child!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes!\u201d Bella laughed. \u201cNobody can hear us here, Kol, let it all out!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wanted to leave the steaks and go for the first round with Bella, but he knew that she needed some food first; besides, they were premium steaks, it would be a waste to let them burn. For now, all he could do was will them to cook faster. Taking another swig from the bottle, he handed it back to her. \u201cGood for you to say that, darling,\u201d he said darkly. \u201cI\u2019m going to make you scream so hard tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stared at him with open mouth. \u201cFuck.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
