Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters.
Mystic Grill was the place where everyone hung out at. She knew that was where she'd find her cousin. She was scared, tired, and hungry. Her dress was ruined and she needed a bath. Her updo was coming down and she looked a wreck but her mind wasn't on her appearance. It was more on getting to a safe place before her psycho vampire boyfriend got to her. She was running. She was a runaway bride with the help of her not so friendly almost sister in law Rosalie. She woke on her wedding day in tears. She had called Alice and she sent Rose over to her. She was a bawling mess and she knew that she couldn't go through with the wedding, so Rose made a choice.
Hopefully, it was a good choice.
Bella made it to Mystic Grill and her heart clenched. She was so happy and excited for a safe place to start anew. She knew from her talks with her Auntie that this was the place she should be. Mystic Falls had become a supernatural residence over the last few years and she was hopeful this place would give her the opportunity to protect herself.
She pulled open the door and the smell of beer and peanuts and burgers hit her nostrils. Her stomach instantly growled. But she ignored it in favor of searching the place for her overly bubbly cousin. She found her talking with a group of people. Some she knew and some she didn't. And the person she recognized first was Bonnie Bennett, the green-eyed beauty, looked directly at her and swore.
It was calm in Mystic Falls. That meant a storm was coming. They could feel in their bones. The group sat at a table munching on french fries and talking about taking a much-needed vacation. They knew it wouldn't stay quiet for long with the Originals in town. They were all laughing until Bonnie cursed under her breath. It made them look at whatever caught the brunette's attention. That's when all of their eyes landed on a different brunette. A woman maybe eighteen in a victorian looking wedding dress and her hair sticking out of a well-placed updo.
The woman blushed and Damon wondered where it ended. She was a beautiful woman who he wouldn't mind taking advantage of but he was curious as to how Bonnie knew the older woman.
"Bella!" yelled Caroline. The bubbly woman ran to her cousin and held her in a strong grip. The brunette thought of the bruises that would definitely be there later on and groaned.
"Carebear, too tight." she breathed out.
"Oh, I am so sorry." Caroline blurted out. She placed her down on the ground and moved her to her table full of friends but Bella stopped her.
"No, Care. I didn't come here to socialize today. I need your help." Her cousin looked over her shoulder anxiously and shivered. That didn't go unnoticed by Caroline or the group.
"Okay, let me get my jacket, and we can go get take-out with my mom." Caroline gave them a look that said mine your own business. She gave them a smile and left with the brunette.
"So much for no drama," said Elena. She didn't exactly like Caroline's cousin Bella and she sure as hell wasn't going to start now.
All three ladies sat cuddled on Sheriff Forbes giant bed eating Chinese take-out. Both of the Forbes ladies was anxious for the reason Miss Bella Swan was now in town. And with past conversations, they knew it was no good.
"I ran away from my wedding," she said after catching up.
"Why?" asked Caroline. That was when a freshly bathed Bella lifted up her left sleeve to reveal a bite mark.
"Holy shit." cursed the sheriff. Caroline was in shock and was confused. She didn't understand what was so significant about the bite mark but she would wait to hear her cousin out.
"Why were you fooling around with Cold Ones?" exclaimed the sheriff.
"Cold Ones?"
The sheriff looked at Bella's wrist a little closer while speaking to her daughter,"Opposite of your kind of vampire. They don't need to be invited in and they are so cold. They have skin as hard as marble and sparkle in the sun, amongst other things." It was information overload. She couldn't believe what her mother and cousin just told her.
"It's true, Caroline. That's why I came here. I had one of the coven's vampire run me to Mystic Falls. Her name was Rosalie and she didn't really like me but only because she didn't want me to become a Cold One. She took me here at my request after she revealed what was going down here. She said for me to be protected I needed to turn into an original vampire. I am so desperate it's making me scared." Bella said with a huff as she fell back against the pillows on the sheriff's bed.
"Well, we'll figure something out," reassured Caroline.
None of them realizing a certain crow was listening in.
