The Visit
Chapter 1
Hello everybody! Although I still have a few stories to work on I am back with a new one. Some of you may be excited to know that I have completed all of my Vampire Diaries/Originals/Twilight crossovers and I'm here with a new one. If you haven't read the others, they are all available on my page, I will leave summaries below. Thank you for your ongoing support.
The Impossibility - When someone new walks into the French Quarter, she is the last person anybody expects to see. Before now, nobody like this has existed before. Follow the story of Elizabeth, a girl on the run with hopes of finding her true family. A story of how Hayley and Elijah found their daughter
Mikaelson's Reunite - Bella Swan is not in fact who she says she is. Her identity is revealed when someone recognises her. How will the Cullen's react, and who will she be reunited with?
The Other Salvatore - Set after Breaking Dawn and during The Vampire Diaries season 7, although I've played around with the timeline a little. Bella Cullen nee Salvatore, a 170-year-old vampire, and the Cullen's move from Forks to a quaint town called Mystic Falls. When she's there she doesn't expect to find her brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore
The Other Mikaelson - This is the story of Isabella Mikaelson and how she came to meet her family once again
It had been five years since the Cullen's had left Forks, leaving Bella behind without looking back. Since that day, Bella had grown within herself and her surname was no longer Swan, it was Mikaelson.
Bella had fallen into a deep depression when the people she thought loved her left her, and that had led to Charlie revealing some information she would have preferred to keep hidden; Bella was not his daughter. When Bella had first been told, her depression had only worsened, until Charlie had pointed out that this was a chance for her to start over.
Bella had learnt of her true surname, Isabella Dawson, and the names of her biological parents, Sarah and William Dawson. The only thing that Charlie had left from the adoption was the form that legally gave him and Renee the parental rights to Bella, and that was how she knew her biological parents' names. When Bella had asked why her parents gave her up, Charlie had sadly explained that they had been killed and she was inserted into the foster system.
Once she had been told, it had only taken Bella two weeks to decide that she wanted to visit the place where she was born, which she knew was New Orleans thanks to the letterhead at the top of the form Charlie had shown her. Bella had packed her things and sold her truck with Charlie's permission, so she could afford the plane ticket and hotel she would be staying in when she arrived in New Orleans.
If someone would have told Bella that she would be happy the Cullen's had left when they first left Forks, she would have called them insane, but five years later she couldn't be happier.
When she had first arrived in New Orleans, the first thing she did was start asking questions, looking for any person who knew anything about her biological parents. Inside she was hoping that she still had biological family out there, but she found nobody. Her second night in New Orleans, she had met the Mikaelson's, and that's where Bella's happy ending started.
…
"Klaus, what are you doing?" Bella asked, wheeling one of the many suitcases through the door of their new home for the next few weeks.
"I'm sitting down, that's what the help are for." Klaus nodded towards the compelled men carrying in various bags and suitcases into the hotel room.
"Klaus, anyone would think you would be excited, you can't stay in the Quarter forever. Besides, this is just temporary remember. We're just here for a few days for my dad's memorial." Bella said quietly, her eyes beginning to tear up. Klaus smiled slightly and stood, walking to his wife's side and pulling her into an embrace.
"It was a long time ago, I'm fine." Bella smiled a watery smile, stepping away and wheeling the suitcase into the hotel bedroom. It had been three years since the death of her father, and she still wasn't over it completely, although she was sure she never would be. Given that Bella's father was the chief of police, he was given a bench in the middle of town when he passed, something that Bella was grateful for. Given the Forks tradition, each year a special member of the community was honoured, and this year it was Charlie. Bella was grateful that the ceremony was being held that year, that meant she could attend the ceremony honouring her father without questions being raised about the way she aged. Although when she had bought up the topic of people asking questions, Kol had brushed it off saying that anyone who dared to ask a question could just be compelled anyway. Before Bella had married Klaus and become a Mikaelson, she had become close to each member of the family. The people she was closest to were Hayley and Rebekah, with Elijah and Kol not far behind. Bella was tremendously glad that she had moved to New Orleans as she had found what true love was. Bella was also glad that each member of her family had taken the time to come to Forks and support her during this time.
"This town is so dreary, why on earth would anyone willingly live here?" Rebekah complained as she walked into the room, slouching on the couch.
"I lived here for eighteen years of my life, Bekah, it's not too bad." Isabella defended her home town as she returned to the room.
"Plus, we might end up running into vampires here. It's an ideal place for them to live, the sun is never out." Hayley commented as she walked into the room, followed by Elijah, she shot a sad look at Bella as she spoke.
"I doubt we will, Hay. Besides, we'll fit right in with the rest of them." Bella plastered a fake look on her face as she moved to Klaus' side.
"This place is vile. I swear these towns wouldn't know a good hotel if it smacked them in the face." Kol complained as she walked in, Bella opened her mouth to argue and then closed it again realising her efforts were futile when it came to Kol.
"What time does the memorial start?" Rebekah asked, shifting where she sat.
"At one, we don't have much time." Bella said and the Mikaelson's dispersed, knowing that was Bella's way of telling them to leave and get ready.
"Are you sure you're ready for this? We don't have to go if you aren't ready." Bella walked into her husbands embrace once more, holding him close to her.
"I'll be fine as long as I'm with you."
…
It hadn't taken long for the Mikaelson's to get ready, and Freya had acquired them a large SUV to take them into town for the event. They were amongst the first few there, and Bella recognised every one of the other people who had showed up early. Unfortunately, the first people to approach her when she climbed out of the car was someone she didn't want to speak to, Bella looked around for her husband desperately as the man approached.
"Arizona." He greeted.
"Mike. It's been a while, how have you been?" Bella asked, a polite smile plastered onto her face as she spoke.
"I have been good, I'm back in town for the weekend to visit my parents so I thought I would come to the ceremony." Mike replied, he looked exactly the same as the last time she saw him, although his hairline had somewhat receded.
"That's great, Mike." Bella replied, focused on trying to get the attention of at least one of her family members, thankfully Hayley captured Bella's desperate gaze.
"Bella, who is this?" Hayley asked politely as she walked over.
"This is Mike, I went to school with him. Mike, this is Hayley, My sister-in-law." Bella was unsurprised by the look of shock on Mike's face.
"You got married?" Mike cried, looking around embarrassed when people started to look.
"Yeah, almost four years ago. Hayley is my husband's brother's wife. That's then right there." Bella nodded over Mike's shoulder and he turned to see Elijah and Niklaus talking with Freya.
"I take it Cullen doesn't know that?" Mike almost sneered, his eyes narrowing at Bella. Hayley almost laughed, Mike had no idea how much danger he was in if he angered a vampire, especially one who had been hurt by the Cullen's.
"What do you mean?" Bella asked quietly, looking over at Klaus to make sure he was still speaking with Elijah.
"He's back in town. They all are. Cullen came into my parents' shop asking about you a few weeks ago." Mike explained, somewhat calmer. The blood drained from Bella's face as she shot a panicked look at Hayley.
"Oh, is that Elijah calling us? We should go. Good to meet you." Hayley ended the conversation with Mike quickly and effectively, leading a panicked Bella over to Klaus and Elijah. As soon as they both saw Bella's state they rushed to her side, quickly followed by Rebekah, Kol and Freya.
"What happened?" Klaus asked hurriedly, pulling Bella to his side.
"That boy over there, he said that the Cullen boy had been asking about her around town a few days ago." Hayley explained.
"Those things are here?" Klaus sneered, he refused to call them vampires.
"Apparently so, and if they're looking for Bella, what better place to find her than at a memorial she won't miss?" Hayley asked, shooting her worried gaze around the crowd.
"It'll be fine, they won't cause a scene here and as soon as the memorial is over we'll go." Elijah said softly, noticing that his sister-in-law hadn't spoken a word.
"Bella, love?" Klaus turned to face her, taking her face in his hands.
"I'm okay Klaus, I just need to get this done and get out of here before they even realise I'm in town. I can't face them." Klaus nodded understandingly and lead Bella to the front row of chairs that had been put out for the memorial.
…
Bella was uncomfortable and fidgeting throughout the entire ceremony, and Klaus knew that she wasn't listening to the words the current Chief of Police was saying, she was just eager to leave. He could understand, and there were numerous times over the years where Bella had had to stop him from tracking down the cold ones and killing them himself. On one particular occasion Klaus needed to be restrained by Kol and Elijah when what the boy had done started to bleed into his and Bella's relationship. Once Bella had admitted that she was having nightmares of Klaus leaving her instead of Edward, he was murderous.
Once it was over Bella had practically jumped out of her seat, followed by the rest of her family and sped to the car. Elijah climbed into the driver's seat and waited for the rest of the family to get in before speeding off towards their hotel. Initially they had been planning to stay for a few days, but everyone agreed that it would be better for them to return to the Quarter as soon as possible. When the car sped into the hotel parking lot, Elijah parked in an empty space before turning around in his seat to address Bella.
"Are you okay, Bella?"
Bella nodded mutely and climbed out of the car, she hated the fact that she seemed weak because of this. She should have gotten over this years ago. She stopped suddenly, and Rebekah walked into her when she saw something familiar across the parking lot.
"Bella, what?" Klaus' eyes flashed around the lot, looking for any possible threat, but he found none.
"The cars. They're here." The Mikaelson's followed Bella's line of sight until their eyes fell on the silver Volvo and the black Mercedes parked next to each other on the other side of the lot.
"Maybe they're staying here?" Hayley suggested, but that theory was dismissed by Kol.
"Why would they stay in a hotel if they have a house down the road?"
"Come on, I can't avoid this forever." Bella sighed and took Klaus' hand, walking towards the hotel lobby, and like Bella had predicted, they were sitting there in the lobby waiting for her to return to her room. However, from the shocked looks on their faces, Bella could see that they were not expecting her to have company, nor were they expecting her to be holding hands with another.
I hope you like this! It's just something that's been running through my mind for a while, so I figured I would write something. Please don't hesitate to leave a review to let me know what you thought and to give me any suggestions.
Lots of love,
