I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS, THEY ALL BELONG TO MEYERS, L.J. SMITH AND THE CW. THE ONLY THING I OWN IS THE PLOT AND ANY OTHER ORIGINAL CHARACTERS THAT MAY BE INCLUDED IN FUTURE CHAPTERS. PS THIS AFTER NEW MOON. PRETEND THAT ESTHER IS STILL ALIVE AND THAT FINN DIDN'T TRY TO HELP HER.
KOL'S POV
She hadn't changed at all, with her long mahogany hair, doe brown eyes and pale skin. Right there standing in front of me was my best friend, Isabella Salvatore, or Isabella Swan as she goes by today. I haven't seen her since I jumped in front of the dagger that Niklaus had meant for her.
Bella, as she likes to be called, was a very important person to not only myself, but also to my family. This was why instead of killing her, Klaus tried to dagger her because she was attracting Mikael's attention, but she's my best friend and I was not about to let her become temporarily dead. So, I took the hit and told her to run before the effects completely took me over. When Elijah undaggered the rest of us and I found out that none of them had kept in contact with her, I had been beyond furious. Therefore, I left as soon as I adapted and started my search for her and it lead me to this moment right here.
BELLA'S POV
It's been about 5-6 months since they left. I would have told them that I was a vampire but I had to stay hidden. Mikael cannot know that I managed to fake my death with a spell because if he does then he'll use me to get to the others and I'm not letting that happen. Yes, I am an original vampire. You know the type that burn in the sun, die with a stake to the heart and get affected by vervain. The reason that I can walk in the sun is because I have a daylight ring that was spelled for me by the Original Witch, who really isn't the original witch. They just call her that because she kind of created vampires and I use the term lightly.
I had just returned from feeding and was going to take a nap. I may have been abandoned by a douchebag ex but that doesn't mean that I'm going to cry over him. I'm a vampire for Pete sakes, I can anything in a matter of seconds, Niklaus the big bad hybrid can't even win against a fight against me. I am not about to let some guy turn me into a weak, pathetic girl who doesn't know which way is up and which way is down.
I was just about to jump into bed for my nap when there was a knock on the front door. I rushed downstairs and used my vampire speed to help me.
As I reached the door, I was hit with a familiar scent that had me pausing for a second longer before opening the door and there right in front of me stood someone I had lost hope that I would ever see again.
I was speechless. As far as I knew, he was supposed to be in his coffin daggered but here he was, Nikolay Mikaelson, standing right outside the house.
"Hey brown eyes," he said and that was all I needed to hear before I launched myself at him and tackled him into a hug.
I didn't realize I was crying until Kol pulled away a little and wiped the tears away from my eyes.
"What are you doing here?" I found myself asking.
"I got undaggered along with the rest of the family."
"So Rebekah and Finn?" I questioned, my voice still a little shaky from crying.
"Both undaggered as well. Nik was able to send out a message to Sage and she should've arrived shortly after I left." I couldn't help but notice that there was something wrong by what his eyes were telling me.
"Niko, what are you hiding from me?" I questioned.
"Esther tried to kill us all by linking us together and then killing one of us. Luckily Elijah had gotten the doppelgänger to fess up and we were able to stop her but she escaped." So, the witch bitch is somehow still out there and she tried to kill her children again. Wow, mother of the year she is.
"Wait, why didn't she link me along with you guys? I've killed and tortured more people than all of you put together." I mean it's no secret that I hated Esther and that the feeling was mutual.
The best Kol could give me was a shrug that made me sigh.
"C'mon in, Kol."
I didn't wait for him to say anything before I started walking upstairs, knowing that he was right behind me.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
I stopped mid-step and twisted my body to look him in the eye before answering, "To pack a bag. I think it's time the family becomes whole again."
He gave me a smile and that was all I needed before packing everything up at warp speed as he took my bags out to the car.
I didn't bother with waiting to say goodbye to Charlie. I left him a note explaining everything as best as I could. I also let him know that anytime he needed me I would be there for him but I had to leave because it was time for me to stop running and try to be happy again.
Looking out the window of the moving car, I was so happy to know that Kol was finally out of that damn coffin that Nik had put him in. I had missed my best friend, the one person, other than
Nik, who stood by me and was there for me when I needed someone. I was absolutely crushed when Kol took a dagger for me and I had been blaming myself this entire time. Telling myself that it was my fault that he was locked away from the world for a whole century. It's why I didn't stay in contact with the rest of the family. I couldn't deal with the guilt and pity looks they would have given me. So, instead of thinking about it, I focused on finding a way to end Mikael and locate the latest doppelgänger, hoping that that would be the ticket to getting Kol out of the coffin.
Unfortunately, I got distracted. I had gotten word from the spirits that I had to be in Forks, Washington, and believing them I went. I had been able to track down the remaining family member of my uncle's line and found a live descendant. Deciding not to lie to him, I told him the truth about everything and he allowed me to stay in his house in and pose as his daughter. Chief Charlie Swan, was the last living descendant from my mother's side of the family.
While the pain of Edward leaving was still there, the thought of having my family together took my mind off the pain. My family had been able to save me once, maybe they can save me again.
