Chapter 04<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u201cI-I don\u2019t know,\u201d she said hesitating a little, a sense of guilt washing over her because she didn\u2019t know. She should know this, but she didn\u2019t. \u201cJasper helped me to return children who didn\u2019t want to be at our home at times. And I would get into trouble and get punished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTry again, Mr. Whitlock, as it sounds to me that you were part of the problem,\u201d Elijah replied as he took a sip from his tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Jasper was grateful that they allowed Bella to speak her mind, in this case, it wasn\u2019t a good thing as indeed, her observations would work against them. They already had a difficult entrance due to Myriam\u2019s uncontrolled slaughter of the vampires the other night. \u201cMyriam and I are a part of a tiny organisation\u2026 just the four of us, who travel the world to kill Cold Ones who are exploiting children. I was put with the Cullens, undercover, to keep an eye on Bella and of course, I had to go along with some procedures otherwise they\u2019d find me out,\u201d Jasper calmly replied. \u201cI am well aware of the fact that the Cullens abandoned Bella into your care, Mr. Mikaelson. Or perhaps due to your reputation they believed you\u2019d kill her, but it\u2019s time for Bella to come home with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven if I\u2019d believe you about the first part of your story, why do you think we\u2019d hand Bella back to you? She\u2019s not an object, she\u2019s a person. She\u2019s a broken person, but human nonetheless. Corrupted by your kind, starved, experimented on, brainwashed.\u201d Elijah kept using his calm voice. Bella could feel Klaus\u2019s rage seeping through the cracks, he was more than ready to kill Jasper and she wasn\u2019t sure if she\u2019d try to stop him from doing so. Jasper felt strange. Off, but other than that, she couldn\u2019t quite get inside his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s because she was trained by the Cullens, and experimented on, that she\u2019d be better off with us. We know how to handle her and her malfunctions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam growled and hit Jasper\u2019s arm. \u201cQuirks. He meant quirks,\u201d she said quickly. This wasn\u2019t right. Seeing Bella sitting at the table with the traditional vampires, eating like a human\u2026 the food that Myriam had gotten while she was still a human, sucked. Bella hadn\u2019t been raised on this food and it would be a bitch to wean her off of it, too, unless they\u2019d turn her, but Bella was too unstable to be turned. And Bella seemed to be comfortable with these traditionals as well. It wasn\u2019t right. Bella\u2019s mind was too fragile to have to go through another major shift in way of life again. This wasn\u2019t going to end well. \u201cHow are you arranging and managing her care?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re slowly introducing her to new foods to eat as she became sick after having too much water and oats<\/em>,\u201d Freya replied. \u201cI\u2019m giving her a magical cleanse on a semi-regular basis to undo some of the things that have been done to her. She\u2019s getting juice with a detox in it for anything that I\u2019m missing. My brother Kol spends as much time with her as he possibly can, showing her that it\u2019s alright to speak your mind and talk about your feelings. That she\u2019s allowed to have an original thought. And so far, she\u2019s surprised us all by how well she\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou do realize that there was a reason for the low energy diet that Bella had been put on?\u201d Jasper questioned as he looked at the various foods on the table, seeing nothing but fruit juices, sugar, carbohydrates. \u201cAnd at the intervals she was fed at? Don\u2019t get me wrong, it\u2019s amazing to see her doing much better since I last saw her two weeks ago, but it\u2019s not right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, starving her is not right,\u201d Freya said venomously. \u201cShe\u2019s a human, like me, and we need our nourishment. She fought us hard on the food thing when we first started it, but food is something to be enjoyed, she sees that now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These traditionals were playing with fire. They believed they knew everything about Bella, but they were wrong. The file that they had in their possession and been placed there, by Jasper, for them to find. But it were only the cliffnotes. \u201cShe needs to be with her people. With us. Trust that we are as liberal as you, as passionate as you, something completely different from the Cullens themselves. We have a farm in Texas with nothing around us for miles where she\u2019ll be safe and won\u2019t be able to harm anyone. Keeping her here in the city is a big mistake. She\u2019s a Cold One. Human, sure, but she\u2019s a Cold One.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you sure?\u201d Kol said playfully as he looked at Bella, who had rosy cheeks. \u201cShe looks pretty warm to me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella, you know you can\u2019t stay here,\u201d Jasper told her, his voice kind, warm. \u201cI appreciate how these traditionals are allowing you to use your own thoughts and opinions, you must know better now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was abandoned,\u201d Bella replied, a hint of bitterness in her voice. \u201cAlone. They are taking care of me. No punishments, but kindness<\/em>. I did scare them the other day when I hurt twenty people\u2026 but I\u2019m not a bad girl, you see. Kol said that they used to do far worse and kill people and he\u2019s not a bad person, either. I\u2019m still a good girl.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasper sighed and nodded before sharing a look with Myriam, causing her to scowl and turn away. \u201cWe won\u2019t forcibly take you away from your friends, Bella. But Myriam and I will remain in New Orleans to keep an eye on you so should there be something going on, we can come and help you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is ridiculous,\u201d Myriam muttered as she crossed her arms over her chest. She hadn\u2019t liked Jasper\u2019s plan, but she had decided to go along with it. Mostly because they hadn\u2019t been sure how Bella would be. The next visit, Myriam might tell Bella who she was. But Jasper had been nothing but an annoying asshole for the last few days, despite their amazing sex. Whatever it was, it was likely the Cullens fault for ruining him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah pursed his lips as he observed the two Cold Ones and their sudden animosity between them. \u201cMs. Jenkins, you are not agreeing with your companion?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam sucked in a breath, she was still angry that they couldn\u2019t get to her in time before she had her meltdown and then Jasper had stopped her from grabbing Bella in the first place. She could still do that. She was fast, she was strong and she could take these sorry excuses for vampires. \u201cNo,\u201d she started as she carefully chose her words as not to sound too much like a gigantic bitch. \u201cBella\u2019s not one of you, nor will she ever be. She\u2019s a Cold One. Her destiny lies with me. I\u2019ll be able to make sure she won\u2019t hurt anyone else due to my special skill set. She is dangerous and needs to be managed. By me. As Jasper said, we\u2019re quite liberal in our beliefs and we won\u2019t treat her as poorly as the Cullens did, but you need to release her to me for the safety of your coven, and of this city. I don\u2019t want to sit around and wait for a catastrophe to happen. That\u2019s not who I am and that\u2019s not what I\u2019m supposed to do. I have Cold Ones to kill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As poorly<\/em>. Kol picked up on that and he could tell that his brother did as well. There was no way in hell that he was going to allow these two Cold Ones to take Bella away from them. From him. There was no telling what they\u2019d do to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus let out a dark chuckle. \u201cNow see, I can applaud that sentiment. I have a few Cold Ones on my shit list, too. They attempted to take my daughter!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re in Alaska, I\u2019ll tell you exactly where if you relinquish your custody of my— Bella,\u201d Myriam replied kindly. \u201cI\u2019ll even join you for the fun of it. I\u2019ve seen your work in Forks. You beat me right to it, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, love,\u201d Klaus shook his head. \u201cDespite my healthy dose of fear for this girl, she\u2019s not going anywhere. You lot abandoned her, and my siblings have taken a liking to her. She\u2019s responding well to my siblings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI did not abandon my sister!\u201d Myriam blurted angrily. \u201cWe\u2019ve been trying to get her out for years! I even turned so that I could be even stronger and faster to get her out! And you ruined it by allowing your daughter to take her instead! I was supposed to break her out when you were tearing the fucking place down!\u201d She slammed her hand on the table, sending breakfast flying through the air. \u201cShe\u2019s mine! Not yours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella noticed it, and no doubt Jasper noticed it too, but there was a flutter of something in Klaus\u2019 rage as the Cold One ran her mouth. She was going to have to ask Kol later what that feeling meant, because she didn\u2019t understand it at all. Jasper wasn\u2019t liking that feeling Klaus had, at all, and now Bella was all confused. Had she belonged to someone else all this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re her sister?\u201d Freya blinked as she looked at the Cold One and then Bella. Granted, there was some<\/em> similarity in the Cold One\u2019s face, but she couldn\u2019t see it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwin, actually,\u201d Myriam didn\u2019t sit back down as she let out a breath. \u201cFraternal. Whatever. Mom took me after the birth giver gave birth to me, I was the first one out, and she told everyone that I had died. Mom knew that birth giver and sperm donor were doing icky things with the Cullens and werewolves and that it was wrong. She was supposed to go back for Bella, but she was too late, already under the protection of the shifter wolves and moved into the facility. That\u2019s why they sent Jasper in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus couldn\u2019t tell if she was lying, but the story was so insane that it was a possibility that it was the truth. And there was no doubt that her transition from being human to a Cold One added some years to her life, from what he had heard, those transitions were brutal and painful. \u201cLove, why won\u2019t you sit back down in case you break something other than our table?\u201d He suggested calmly. \u201cI now understand your need to have Bella with you, family is important, after all, but as you can see, she\u2019s already become a part of ours in the short time she\u2019s been here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMom had definitive proof that my DNA, our DNA, had been messed with in the petri dish, but also our embryos had been manipulated while we grew in the birth giver\u2019s birthing chamber. When I was five years old, I could lift a car with my pinkie and with the strength, I had anger issues. So dad decided to train me to fight, and how to kill Cold Ones. I took my first Cold One down when I was ten years old. But I wasn\u2019t fast enough. I wasn\u2019t strong enough. I asked to be turned when I celebrated my 18th birthday, giving up on all the human things. Hot showers. Nice food. Coffee. Fuck, coffee\u2026 I was a newborn, but never acted out, I always kept my head. And I started to go after more Cold Ones. Preparing me for the fight with the Cullens. Which you<\/em> ruined for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI ruined it for you?\u201d Klaus mused, challenging the Cold One. \u201cLove, you seem to know where they are, why come to New Orleans first?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause I wanted to give Bella the satisfaction of killing them, too,\u201d she said angrily. \u201cAnd to ask for your help to go after the Volturi to end this for once and for all. Just because we are stronger than humans and have the ability to live longer, doesn\u2019t mean we, as a species, should treat them like the Cullens have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hate to break it to you, darling, but Bella\u2019s not a killer,\u201d Kol finally spoke as he looked at the Cold One. She did look like Bella, and while she may have had a better life than her sister, Myriam looked lost. Incomplete. \u201cIf you were going to take her to the Cullens now, she\u2019d be on their side, not yours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I-I wouldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, darling, you would,\u201d Kol said as he smiled at her. \u201cI told you, baby steps, and their training of you will take a long time to get rid of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI-I wouldn\u2019t! I swear!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He smirked then before looking at Jasper. \u201cGive her an order, or an instruction, whatever you used to call them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasper realized what Kol was trying to prove to both Myriam and Bella, and nodded. \u201cBella, I want you to clean up the mess that Myriam made because of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Bella said defiantly, crossing her arms over her chest. See? She could refuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella, you failed in keeping this place spotless, clean it up, now, and your punishment won\u2019t be as bad as I want it to be. You\u2019re a bad girl for allowing this to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She tried to fight it. This was a set up, and she knew it, but she couldn\u2019t fight it and soon enough found herself on the floor, picking up the broken pieces of the plates as quickly as she could. It was her mess. Myriam had been angry because of her. She truly was a bad girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella, stop,\u201d Jasper said as he felt Myriam\u2019s heart break. He may have neglected to inform Myriam just how bad Bella\u2019s life had been, merely for the sake of her own sanity. \u201cThat\u2019s enough, Bella. You can stop now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stopped and remained on her knees, her hands resting on top of her knees and sighed. She was a bad girl and she wasn\u2019t even cleaning up properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the fuck.\u201d Myriam breathed out as she looked at Jasper. \u201cWhat the actual fuck!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no doubt that Bella has your temper, Myriam. The Cullens wanted her to be quiet and cooperative. They trained her like this. Like a drone. Mindless and not allowing her to think. It made Bella safe to be around,\u201d Jasper explained, a guilty look on his face. \u201cHowever, I do have to admit that these traditional vampires have been handling her correctly in regards to trying to make her life better. I still recommend taking her out of the city, though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well that Cold One turned around quickly. Klaus didn\u2019t like it. \u201cNonsense,\u201d he said as he made the call right there and then. \u201cMiss Jenkins, Myriam,<\/em> you are welcome to stay here at the compound to get to know your sister, to keep an eye on her, but you will not take her with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNiklaus, since when do we take in strays?\u201d Elijah asked exasperatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMyriam is Bella\u2019s sister. Or so she claims. There is no doubt in my mind that this woman will allow us to run tests on her to make sure of it. If it\u2019s the truth, we need to allow her to get to know Bella. You know as well as I do, family is important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe this,\u201d Elijah huffed, shaking his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m with Niklaus. I mean, if she is Bella\u2019s sister and she\u2019s telling the truth about her origins, then there\u2019s no doubt that she\u2019ll have been messed with, too. I could have Keelin compare their DNA strands on abnormalities and go from there,\u201d Freya said hopeful before looking at Myriam with a smile. \u201cBelieve me, there\u2019s nothing better to get to know your family after having been on your own all this time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t on my own. I had my parents and Jasper,\u201d Myriam said as she still had her eye on the kneeling Bella, contemplating her thoughts. \u201cVery well, I\u2019ll stay. What the hell. Why not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd my apologies to your companion, but Bella doesn\u2019t seem to respond well to him. He can\u2019t stay,\u201d Klaus said, a playful smile on his lips as he looked at Jasper. \u201cYou understand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasper hadn\u2019t anticipated this outcome. However, for now it was the best decision. Myriam could keep an eye on Bella while he\u2019d stick around in the city. He nodded politely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd please, refrain from feeding off of the humans in this city, your kind kills them and it\u2019ll draw attention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that, Bella\u2019s head snapped up. \u201cI don\u2019t die when he feeds on me, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNobody\u2019s going to feed on you, darling,\u201d Kol said as he helped her to her feet and handed her a pancake that had been saved from hitting the floor when Myriam smashed the table. \u201cWe\u2019re only going to feed you,\u201d he helped her to sit down to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She slightly snickered. \u201cThat was funny.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, it was,\u201d he grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not going to hurt any of these girls,\u201d Jasper said as a counter demand. \u201cAnd you\u2019re going to keep your hands off of my <\/em>Myriam.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Kol and Elijah sucked in a breath and Bella wasn\u2019t sure why. It was a normal request, wasn\u2019t it? Myriam belonged to Jasper, like Bella had belonged to the Cullens\u2026 and to Jasper. And she had belonged to Myriam in the first place? But wasn\u2019t Jasper Alice\u2019s? Didn\u2019t he belong to Alice? Did Alice know that Myriam belonged to him? Jasper felt angry and anxious. Worried, maybe, and Klaus\u2019s anger had dissolved and it had changed to something else, something she couldn\u2019t place. Yet another emotion she\u2019d have to talk to Kol about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m an honorable man, Mr. Whitlock,\u201d Klaus spoke calmly. \u201cMiss Jenkins will be my guest for as long as she wishes to stay and to connect with her sister, the one she\u2019s worked so hard for to free from the Cullens. To assume that I\u2019m anything less than honorable because you\u2019re picking up on my emotions is frankly an intrusion on my privacy. Another reason why I do not want you in my house.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam stared at Jasper with an open mouth. \u201cYou fucker! Who gave you the right to claim me as your own? That never fucking happened and if you believe that I\u2019m going to fuck the person who\u2019s responsible for delaying my reunion with my sister, you\u2019re fucking mistaken!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, time for the humans to leave,\u201d Freya said with a singsong voice and looped her arm around Bella. \u201cCome on, we\u2019re going to leave this cesspit of testosterone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cW-what?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh Bella,\u201d she sighed as she ruffled the girl\u2019s hair. \u201cHere you are, twenty years old and you know nothing about the pleasures in life\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd you\u2019re not going to inform her either!\u201d Kol called after his sister. That would be a complete disaster with Bella not understanding feelings and emotions as well as she should. On top of that, she still didn\u2019t feel free enough to do things on her own. No, teaching Bella about the birds and the bees was going to have to wait. For a very long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment Freya and Bella were safe inside Bella\u2019s room, with no doubt Freya have cast a spell so that Bella wouldn\u2019t hear anything, all three brothers rose to their feet and started to walk towards Jasper. There was no way<\/em> that they\u2019d allow him to leave and tell his family all about Bella. On top of that, the way he was treating his friend<\/em> was deplorable. \u201cOn the subject of killing Cold Ones, Miss Jenkins, what do you wish us to do with this one?\u201d Klaus asked. Perhaps it was dangerous to allow Myriam to enrage, but if there was one thing they all had issues with was self control. And Myriam would fit right in with the lot of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not going to do anything,\u201d Myriam replied as she rubbed her hands in glee. \u201cHe\u2019s been different ever since he returned from the Cullens, I don\u2019t trust him anymore than you do. He\u2019s mine to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freya had wanted her to take a nap and when Bella woke up, she was alone. The sun was high in the sky and she had liked the feeling of it on her skin that morning. She opened the door of her space and wondered if it was alright if she\u2019d left it to walk around a little, to be in the sun for a little while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She found it strange, however, to see people walking around in plastic suits with brooms and buckets of water. Kol hadn\u2019t told her that that would happen. Curious, Bella decided to be bold and have a look, but she didn\u2019t have to venture out far to realize what was going on as she stepped into a puddle. Looking down at her bare feet, she noticed that it was Cold One venom and it was likely that these people who worked for Klaus were wearing plastic so they wouldn\u2019t get hurt. But it was still acidic; it could still hurt them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease, stop,\u201d Bella called out. \u201cIt\u2019ll bite through your plastic!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people weren\u2019t even listening to her, it was as if they were under some sort of spell\u2026 mind control\u2026 was this compulsion? She ran into the courtyard and pushed the people to the sides, away from the carnage. She saw some blonde locks somewhere, and she didn\u2019t know what to think about this. It was obvious it was Jasper, and while he had been her friend, he had also been one of them. He had abandoned her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She started to pick up pieces of his body while she kept the workers at bay, and put them into the wheelbarrow. For Jasper to be truly dead, his remains needed to be burned, and Cold One venom was flammable. Jasper could still be salvaged if people wanted to, his brain wasn\u2019t scrambled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella, what are you doing?\u201d Kol asked panicked as he jumped down from the first floor, right next to another puddle of venom. \u201cDon\u2019t do that, darling, we have people who do that for us. You\u2019ll get hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella pointed at the workers she was keeping cornered. \u201cThis stuff eats through everything, their protection won\u2019t hold,\u201d she said as she continued to scoop up Jasper. It looked as if he was mauled by a wolf, or worse. \u201cYou\u2019re going to need a hose for the things high up and the venom here on the ground,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella, stop it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She walked over to Kol and showed him her venom covered hands and feet, there were no burn marks on her, nor were there holes. \u201cI\u2019m not hurt. It itches, a little, but I\u2019ve seen worse than this. I don\u2019t want your people to get hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re cleaning up the remains of Jasper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know,\u201d she said lightly before resuming her task. The sun felt great on her skin. She had always believed that the sun was the biggest invention made by someone. She\u2019d rarely seen the sun, only on occasion when she was allowed to go outside, but she had always liked it. And she was outside now, but still inside. Safe. \u201cHave you determined if Myriam was speaking the truth about being my sister?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot yet, but that\u2019s what we\u2019re working on right now\u2026 she\u2019s very cooperative, please stop cleaning him up, it\u2019s not your job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKol, I\u2019ve already hurt twenty people this week, I don\u2019t want your people to get damage that you can\u2019t repair because of me,\u201d she replied stubbornly as she slung Jasper\u2019s arm into the wheelbarrow. It had already begun to heal, she saw the fractures, but they were closing. \u201cHe\u2019s already healing, if you truly wish him dead, his remains need to be burned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis death isn\u2019t on you, Bella.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSure it is,\u201d she replied as a matter of factly. \u201cIf it hadn\u2019t been for me, he\u2019d never have come here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be stupid,\u201d Myriam said as she jumped down and started to help Bella with cleaning up Jasper\u2019s parts. \u201cI killed him, Bella, that\u2019s what I do. I kill Cold Ones. Bad Cold Ones. Like Jasper and the Cullens. Jasper had it coming for several reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I\u2019m not having that. Not everything that happens is your fault, and if it makes you feel any better, it did me well to kill him. The lying fucker who liked to mess with other people\u2019s heads. Including mine. While he knew to stay out of it. Fucker. If I could kill him again, I would.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re using that word a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat? Fuck? Fucker? Yeah, it\u2019s normal language, you should try to use it sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs it a bad word?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHell no,\u201d Myriam laughed as she scooped up some venom and dumped it in the wheelbarrow. \u201cPeople use the word fuck or fucker to emphasize how shitty, bad, something or someone is. Jasper\u2019s a fucker. The Cullens are even bigger fuckers. You could call them fucking fucks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella looked at Kol for confirmation and he simply shrugged. \u201cWhat your sister has is called a potty-mouth. She uses foul language to get a message across that Jasper was bad and that the Cullens are even worse. She likely picked it up during her excessive training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFuck yeah,\u201d Myriam grinned as she tossed a foot into the wheelbarrow. \u201cI\u2019m quite loud, too. I speak my mind and don\u2019t hold anything back, except for maybe you, really. Because girl, you look like you shouldn\u2019t even be doing this. You might break your back or something when you lift up parts of his body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella huffed as she threw a part of Jasper\u2019s skull into the wheelbarrow. \u201cI\u2019m stronger than I look. I\u2019m also keeping the workers from doing this because I don\u2019t want them to get hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWould you like to see a neat trick?\u201d Myriam asked Bella as she shook her hands to get rid of the venom and the moment Bella looked at her, Myriam created the illusion of Bella, turning Myriam into her. \u201cThis is what you look like at this moment,\u201d she said, a bit smile on her face. \u201cI\u2019ve been killing Cold Ones, looking like you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol blinked at what he saw. Two Bella\u2019s. Identical, albeit Myriam\u2019s version of Bella looked slightly healthier than the original. \u201cHoly—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDown boy,\u201d Myriam grinned. \u201cI can already see you imagining the possibilities but you\u2019re really not my type,\u201d she said teasingly before looking back at Bella, who now looked furious. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI got punished for what you did. They believed I could teleport out of my space and go places to kill vampires,\u201d Bella replied. \u201cAnd I didn\u2019t understand, because I\u2019d never leave them or kill and it was you!\u201d Bella\u2019s fists were balled as her arms hung from her body, she was ready to give her a big push into one of the pillars. Yes. Revenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam quickly switched back to herself and swallowed hard. She had never thought about the repercussions to kill Cold Ones looking like her twin sister. She had always believed that Bella would be with her in spirit when she\u2019d do that. \u201cI-I\u2019m sorry\u2026 I didn\u2019t know\u2026 Jasper never told me, either.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t feel guilty,\u201d Bella said, releasing her fists and relaxing a bit as she identified the feeling that Myriam had upfront in her mind. She wasn\u2019t invading her, per s\u00e9, but she had put light telepathic tabs on all the vampires in the compound because of Klaus ever since she hurt twenty people. In case she needed to protect herself. Or Kol. \u201cThe punishments were my treatments or not being allowed to leave my room. It\u2019s wasn\u2019t bad, it was part of my day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella, that\u2019s not normal,\u201d Myriam said baffled. \u201cEven compared to how I live, that\u2019s not normal. That\u2019s twisted. That\u2019s fucking twisted and wrong. Mom and Dad would never do that to me – I call them mom and dad. They\u2019re called Peter and Charlotte. I suppose I have to call them to tell them that I killed dad\u2019s brother\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou were sleeping with your uncle?\u201d Kol blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t blood related or anything,\u201d Myriam shrugged. \u201cBesides, we\u2019re dead. Even if we were, we wouldn\u2019t get mutant babies. He was a good fuck, though. Shame about his personality change.\u201d She picked up another part of Jasper\u2019s skull and tossed it in the wheelbarrow. Then another piece caught her eye. It was lodged in one of the columns and it took her a jump to get to it. She had believed it had been a finger, but no. It was bigger than a finger and it was fucking fully erect still too. What the hell! Making a face, she quickly headed to the wheelbarrow and tucked it underneath something so Bella didn\u2019t have to see Jasper\u2019s penis. Jasper\u2019s once oh so beloved penis. Asshole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid I hear you say Peter and Charlotte?\u201d Klaus asked as he looked over the balcony, observing the two \u2018sisters\u2019 and his brother, who didn\u2019t dare to move amongst the Cold One venom. \u201cPeter and Charlotte Whitlock? I knew I recognized Jasper\u2019s name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeter and Charlotte Jenkins,\u201d Myriam said as she looked up, a smile on her face. \u201cThey changed their last name for safety. If Carlisle would have known I was still alive, they would have come for me. Do you know them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a matter of fact, I do,\u201d Klaus said surprised. \u201cFor a while, I was on the run from my tyrant of a father and disappeared, I needed places to hide and I met Peter and Charlotte in a bar, they offered their place for me to stay in for some time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYep, sounds like them,\u201d Myriam nodded. \u201cThe amount of stray dogs and cats when I was little\u2026 it was insane!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m liking you more and more, Miss Jenkins, you\u2019d better be who you say you are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam huffed as she tossed Klaus her phone. \u201cCall them. Verify my story with them, it\u2019s easier than to wait for the results of your doctor\u2019s tests on me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klaus smiled then, jumping down like Myriam and Kol had, and landing right next to Myriam and Bella as he thumbed through Myriam\u2019s phone to get the right number and put it on speaker. \u201cSince our Bella doesn\u2019t have vampire hearing and all\u2026 I don\u2019t want her to feel left out as we talk to daddy dearest<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMyriam Jenkins, why have you absconded from your mission to kill the Cullens? They\u2019re not dead yet, you know? Where the fuck are you? Are you in trouble? Do you require backup?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, that explains where she got her gutter mouth from,\u201d Klaus remarked playfully. \u201cYou kiss your wife with that mouth?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho the fuck— Klaus? What are you doing with my daughter\u2019s phone?!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe tossed it to me, actually, after confiding in us who her parents are,\u201d Klaus smirked as Myriam rolled her eyes. \u201cShe was telling me a fantastical story about how she and the girl I left my brother in charge of are sisters. Now, mind you, the information we have on our girl is very slim and didn\u2019t say anything about a sister.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella? You have Bella? How? Why? What? The Fuck!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour friends abandoned her into my custody, what else was I supposed to do, kill the girl? You taught me the value of helping others and helping others to help others. I was feeling charitable, forgive me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere\u2019s my daughter? Are you fucking her?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWoah, woah, woah!\u201d Myriam said defensively. \u201cDad! I only got here, you know! It\u2019s not as if I fool around with everyone!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAustin\u2026 Ian\u2026 Iain\u2026 oh, what was the other one? Joel! And Stefan, was it? Or was it Damon?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDad, stop,\u201d Myriam groaned as she heard her mother whisper \u2018both\u2019. \u201cMom, don\u2019t\u2026 you know that I had to scratch my itches while Jasper was away\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI still can\u2019t believe you\u2019re seeing him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019m not. Bella and I are currently picking up his pieces from the floor of the Mikaelsons\u2019 beautiful courtyard because Bella didn\u2019t want their staff to get hurt,\u201d Myriam shot at her parents before dunking an elbow into the wheelbarrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh good, if you find his dick, send it over so we can use it as a candle,\u201d <\/em>Charlotte\u2019s voice sounded. \u201cHe got in too deep, didn\u2019t he? That stupid fuck got in too deep and manipulated by those fucking Cullens.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah\u2026 I guess\u2026\u201d Myriam sighed. \u201cHe was different when we met up in Phoenix, and I swear, he was influencing me the entire time we were in New Orleans. The rage, the passiveness\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell good on you, Myriam.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks mom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, does that mean you\u2019re going to sleep with Klaus Mikaelson now?\u201d <\/em>Peter asked before he was quiet for a little while. \u201cWell, I suppose it\u2019s an upgrade. Can\u2019t exactly kill him\u2026 or scare him into submission\u2026 Can\u2019t you pick some normal guy next time?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not going to sleep together, for fuck\u2019s sake!\u201d Myriam said aggravated. \u201cI\u2019m not that easy<\/em>! I\u2019m here for Bella and not for anything else, you hear me?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, enough with the fucking here,\u201d Kol said, objecting. \u201cSensitive ears and all that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFuck, you two are the worst! This is why I rarely call in!\u201d Myriam said frustrated before using her vampire speed to clean every little piece of Jasper off the floor and walls and then tossed a lighter into the wheelbarrow, causing Jasper to burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t call to hear about Myriam\u2019s conquests, Peter,\u201d Klaus reminded him, a cheeky smile on his face as he watched the Cold One in question. It was a shame that that breed of vampires had lost everything that made humans beautiful; the flushing of skin when they were embarrassed. \u201cIs what she said about being Bella\u2019s sister true?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah man,\u201d <\/em>Peter replied, laughing his ass off for no doubt embarrassing his daughter in front of her new friends. \u201cWe wanted to go back for Bella, but then it was too late. We never were able to get close until Myriam decided she wanted to be turned and became even stronger than the strong man of the Cullens.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSee, Bella?\u201d Kol smiled at her. \u201cYou\u2019re not alone. You have a sister! Family! Isn\u2019t that great?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut I have you,\u201d she said confused. \u201cHow would I be alone when I have you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause family makes you stronger and will never abandon you,\u201d Kol said, avoiding thinking about the times that he\u2019d been abandoned or stabbed in the back by his siblings. \u201cMyriam spent her entire life trying to find you, that requires determination and a whole lot of love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLove?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kol scratched himself behind his ear. \u201cUhh\u2026 kindness. Myriam has a lot of kindness to give to you because you missed out on so much of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWas that all the information you needed, Klaus? I could send you all the research we have on the two girls that we managed to scrape together if you want a better picture. Hell, Charlotte and I could make a trip down to good old New Orleans and have some fun while we\u2019re at it!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease don\u2019t come,\u201d Myriam said quickly as she stared into the flames. \u201cSend the stuff over, sure, but seriously, don\u2019t come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou sure, darlin\u2019? It\u2019s possible that the information will have things you don\u2019t even know about yourself yet.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s fine. I think it\u2019s time now. I found her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll send one of my trusted vampires to come and pick it up. Please, Peter, don\u2019t kill him,\u201d Klaus said, shaking his head. \u201cAnd I do look forward to meeting up with you sometime in the future for an old fashioned pub crawl.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019d better take real good care of my girl, Klaus Mikaelson, or I will find a way to kill you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDad! Stop it! I\u2019m a grown woman!\u201d Myriam snatched her phone out of Klaus\u2019 hands, disconnected the call and tossed her phone in the fire. \u201cThere. No more harassment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a bit harsh, isn\u2019t it?\u201d Klaus laughed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNah, it was time for a new phone anyway. You know, in case I get tracked or something,\u201d Myriam shrugged. \u201cAnyway, your courtyard has been thoroughly cleaned. What\u2019s next?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you still sparkle when you change your appearance, if only slightly?\u201d Klaus was curious. \u201cBecause darling, you are a walking, talking, disco ball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myriam huffed as she changed her hair color and put a mole on her cheek at will. \u201cNo sparkle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood,\u201d he smiled at her. \u201cDespite how you were created, you must admit, this is one ability that is nice to have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEh,\u201d Myriam shrugged as she looked at Bella with a guilty look on her face. \u201cApparently not so much. I can actually get people hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet\u2019s not dwell on past things,\u201d he said as he offered his arm to her. \u201cLet me show you my city, and then I\u2019ll take you to a splendid place to have a snack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t eat normal food, Klaus, different breed of vampire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, but I wasn\u2019t talking about human food, love, I was talking about an all you can eat buffet right here in the city, filled with miscreants that won\u2019t be missed if they end up dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, now you\u2019re talking,\u201d Myriam grinned as she gladly took his arm. \u201cLead the way, good sir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, they\u2019ll definitely be shagging by the end of the night,\u201d Kol muttered as he looked at Bella. \u201cSo, do you have ideas of what you want to do today? Rest? You\u2019ve been through a lot today, new experiences, new information\u2026\u201d He hoped she wouldn\u2019t mind spending a few hours by herself. Seeing Nik interact with Myriam, the fight with Jasper and everything else had made him horny and hungry. He needed a release for both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m never going to be curious again,\u201d Bella said as she pointed at the wheelbarrow. \u201cI\u2019ll stay in my confinement. I have learned my lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to be curious, darling,\u201d he smiled at her. \u201cWhy won\u2019t you take a nice bath and rest a little?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She nodded slowly, liking the idea. \u201cThe bath is where I put the plug in and fill it with water, yes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWarm water. Not cold,\u201d he reminded her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She nodded again. \u201cI can do that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood girl,\u201d he grinned as he watched her walk back to her room. After listening for the bath to be running, he was satisfied that she was actually doing just that. He informed Freya that he was heading out for a few hours and headed straight for D\u00e9bauche, one of the best brothels that New Orleans had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella took a quick dip in her bath to wash off the Cold One venom and got back into her clothes. She wasn\u2019t sure how to process all the new information she had learned today. What she had experienced. Perhaps it was better to store it away and not to think about it too hard. She had to accept that her sister was a Cold One, but a good one. And if she weren\u2019t, Kol would kill her. She didn\u2019t have to be scared, because she could protect herself when needed. She could protect Kol when needed. And Myriam had parents. Like the children had when Bella was still at home. Those children who were crying for their mom and dad. Myriam was strong and everything that Bella wasn\u2019t. Myriam was free. Myriam could take care of herself, feed herself. Bella— wasn\u2019t sure if she could. Myriam was the good girl. Bella was defective and the bad girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was something about Jasper\u2019s words that morning that had scared her. That she wasn\u2019t safe in the city and that she had a strict regime for another reason. That perhaps he knew more about her than she did. Than Klaus and Kol did. Not knowing what it was was frightening. What if it was a really bad thing and she\u2019d do a really bad thing? And how? When? Or did he say those things to make everyone even more afraid of her? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
