Hey ya'll! So, I know that this was originally supposed to be a one-shot, but I got so many of ya'll commenting and fave/following, that I decided to try to turn this into a full story.
Now, I'm telling you now that I'll need ya'lls help to continue this, ya'll ideas, questions and comments don't just inspire, but encourage me to write more and that, for me, is something that I really need right now.
Also, this story from here on out will get quite violent in parts and a little grim. There will also be hinting at lemons/lemon-y events, but I am crap at writing full lemons, so ya'll will just have ta cope with heated kisses!
;P
Not really sure why I just did that face but, eh, I'm weird!
Anyway, I'll let ya'll read now, so, erm, enjoy!

"So I'm your… mate?"
The words felt strange but familiar on her tongue, like she had heard, said, them once, but not for many a year. She could not contemplate how much her life had changed since that fateful day only a month ago, when she had first met the man who had changed her life so drastically since then.
"Yes… does that bother you?" Klaus asked, his voice uncharacteristically gentle as he gazed into her sparkling eyes. He never would have thought he would feel this way about someone, he always believed love was a weakness and, while he still believed this to some extent, he now knew it was the strength he had been missing for so long now and he knew he was no longer the same as who he once was.
"Maybe, if I knew what a 'mate' actually was." She snarked back, her eyes showing the childish playfulness that she had hidden for a long time, the one that she only showed when her guard was down.
Now, if anyone else had talked to him like that, he would have ripped their heart out… literally. But with her, it was different, she was different, so he just threw her head back, a roaring laughter filling the cool, night air of Bella's garden.
"Shh! Shh, Shut up!" She whispered, harshly, her hand slapping over his mouth in an attempt to quiet him, her eyes darting around the silent, night-darkened, street as she dragged him off towards her 'special place' that was just a few blocks down from her home.
"Do you want to cut our time together short because you woke someone up?!" She reprimanded, crossing her arms with an angry expression as they walked quickly down the warm tarmac.
Even through her anger and annoyance… she still thought he was cute, though she would never actually tell him that as she had once heard that telling a man he was 'cute' was offensive… even if he really was.
"Of course not!" He said, his smirk still in place (Which only made her angrier, "I'd just compel them to forget they heard anything."
"Oh that's your answer to everything, isn't it? Compulsion, I mean, do you even buy your own clothes, or just compel the shop to give you to them? Hmm?!"
Her anger, to him, made her look adorable, like an angry kitten, but he figured if he told her that, she'd probably just turn around and leave so, instead, he replied, "Of course not, I have enough money that I do not need to go through the bother of compelling the entire store."
By this point Bella was climbing over the gate into the car park of the hotel that lived at the end of her road. But she stopped once he got to the 'bother' part, turning to look at him increduesly. She went to say something but decided better and just shook her head, turning back around and jumping over the other side, not at all surprised that Klaus was already there, waiting to steady her as she stumbled slightly.
As they walked down the long, darkened, car park she wondered on what a 'mate' was, wondering if it meant more than just a friend. It probably did, and Bella was not so sure if she was ready for what would come with that.
As if he could sense her thoughts, Klaus stopped, grabbing her hand and turning her round to face him. "Listen to me, Isabella." She tried her best to scowl at the use of her full name, but couldn't help the small smile that graced her face, "Me telling you this means nothing more than that you know, I won't force you into anything you do not want and I vow it on the blood of myself and my family, I shall always protect and love you, no matter what."
No matter what.
•-•(U)•-•
Bella sat up suddenly, her body jerking at the abrupt movement, her breath coming back to her so fast, it was like she was hyperventilating. From what she could make out through her newly improved vision, she was in a grand room with light filtering through floor-to-ceiling windows that were partly hidden by grey-gold curtains.
In front of them was two old armchairs, an antique table with, was that an oil lamp on it?
Before she could inspect the room anymore, the warm pressure on her hand drew her attention to the blonde-haired hybrid who was watching her closely but, just as he went to speak, a delicious smell, like smoky dark chocolate and ripe oranges, wafted through the air and Bella was gone.
Niklaus groaned as he quickly followed her, not at all surprised to find his little mate in, ironically, the kitchen; drinking viciously from one of the blonde-haired maids he kept around. His brother, Kol, was sprawled on the floor on the other side of the room, blood trickling from his mouth which confirmed Niklaus' belief that his brother had ignored his warning and drunk from the maid that Bella now was, despite everyone warning him not too with a newborn in the house.
Of course Kol being Kol wouldn't listen, he always did love living on the wild side, though the amused and slightly annoyed expression on his brother's face made Niklaus believe that he new exactly what would happen when he started drinking from the blonde bimbo.
"Aren't you going to help me up, brother? Your little mate here did steal my meal after all, it's the least you can do." Kol asked, innocently smirking as he stayed where he was, on the floor.
"Oh you knew what you were doing and you can get yourself up, or are you really that incapable?" Niklaus asked, annoyed and angry that he wasn't able to talk to Bella before she fed, provided her first meal for her himself.
Kol huffed, getting up in one swift movement. Brushing himself off he laughed, "There he is, the brother we all know and…" He trailed off, smirking as Niklaus growled. "I was beginning to think you'd truly become, what is that phrase the children use? Oh, yes, pussy-whipped. Good to know you're still you're, well, you."
But Niklaus was not listening to his brother, instead he was trying to stop his mate from killing the maid. While he did not care what happened to the girl, he knew that if Bella killed her, she would be wreaked with guilt.
To this day it amazed him that his mate, his mate, had nothing against violence, encouraged it if the person receiving the… blows deserved it, but she had made it quite clear that, as animalistic as she could be, she wouldn't kill innocents.
He was sure this was the only reason she did not let him kill everyone at that farce of a wedding; while there was no true children there, there were innocents. People who truly did not understand what as actually going on and did not deserve to die. Well they didn't in her eyes, at least.
Personally he would have just killed the lot, knowing from experience that the past always comes back to haunt you and it's better to just kill everyone and avoid the inevitable then to let them go free. But he was a sucker for her desires and would, could, never do something that would upset nor hurt her.
Sometimes he really hated that about their bond, but only sometimes, most of the time he liked the reassurance that he could never do something that would harm her.
However, in present time, he could hear the maid's heartbeat slowing to dangerous levels and had to intervene.
Giving no warning to his love, he grabbed her, pulling her mouth away from the girl's neck and he pushed her into the wall, holding her there as she snarled and snapped.
"Kol, make sure the girl lives." He ordered, feeling no need to explain.
Kol whined, "But wh-"
"NOW Kol!" Niklaus snapped as he kept avoiding Bella's angry attacks. In a gentler voice, one his family rarely, if ever, heard, he spoke to Bella, his soft voice calming her down, bringing her out of the frenzied bloodlust. "Bella, love, come on, you're stronger then the hunger, I know you are. Come on, it's ok, it's ok. Come on."
He kept talking, his calm voice reassuring and kind as she came back to herself and he recognized the second she came back to herself, "Nik?" Her voice was so lost, so unsure but filled with hope and love that, as it broke his heart slightly, it also made him smile.
"Hello Isa."
"Nik!" This time her voice was all love, her memories finally filling the blanks in her brain and the memories of the last 48 hours returned to her. To think that just two mornings ago she had been being forced into a wedding she did not want and, now, she was here- a vampire alongside her hybrid-love, together in everything for eternity, it made her happier then she ever was before and she lunged forward again, but this time she was not feeling bloodlust, just pure, loving lust as she brought the fierce, famed vampire to the ground, straddling him as her lips attacking his as her hands combed through his messy hair.
He returned her kiss with equal force, his hands gripping her hip tightly with one hand while his other grabbed at her hair, his fingers spread so that they could feel more of the silk of her hair.
A polite cough, annoyed whine and a laughing cat-call broke them out of their bubble, well, it broke Bella out, blushing as she struggled to stand as Niklaus kept her to him.
"Nik, don't you have a room you can do… this in?" Finn asked, a faint trace of amusement in his tone as he watched the girl he and his family had saved blush while his younger brother held her to him, fiercely.
Niklaus sighed, standing up in one fluid movement, scooping Bella up as he did, ignoring her indignant shriek, and sped off, back to their rooms.
At first he was going to drop her straight onto their bed and ravage her like he had done many a time before when their lust levels had gotten to new heights, but then he remembered that she was still covered in blood and he knew she would kill him if he got the furniture stained. Again.
Ok, so maybe covered was a little much but, looking down at her, her face and neck was pretty red. He growled as he remembered all those times he had made her blush, and all those other times he had followed that blush with his tongue, the heat and strawberry taste of her sweet skin forever making him want more, more she was always willing for him to take.
He took her into their spacious bathroom, ripping her clothes off her wanton body as he lifted her up into the counter, stripping out of his own clothes as he kissed her, passionately, making up for all the time they had missed.
Bella moaned as Niklaus pressed his naked body to her own as their tongues explored the familiarness of each other's mouths, their hands grabbing and scrapping at anything within reach.
"I. Have. Missed. You. So. Much. Isabella!" Niklaus said in-between kisses as he picked her up, her legs wrapping around his waist, squeezing him as her feet dug into his ass. He stumbled over to the shower that was tucked into the corner of the big, open bathroom. There was a paneled bath in the center with draws and cabinets at the end.
Then their was the three-paneled windows, the towel shelves, the wooden-paneled cupboards and draws with a marble topping next to the white sink that had a Bella-sized mirror above it, a water-proof light dangling in front of it and some more cupboards next to it. The artwork was some of his own and the flowers and plants were the touch that gave the cream-walled and oak-floored room the color it needed.
The shower was hidden in the corner, next to the sink and had a different flooring and walls. The floor was a light mosaic and the walls had a natural-wood effect that Niklaus just knew Bella would adore. The lights and multiple shower nozzles/taps gave it a modern effect, as did the green-blue-tinted, glass door.
Nikalus knelt down as Bella sat on the small, semi-circler seat, her back hitting the wooden walls with such force that Niklaus was glad, in that moment, that he had called in a favor that a witch had owned him so that their home was reinforced and harder to break, every single part of it.
Niklaus turned the sprays on, messing about slightly to get the temperature just right but his fingers were quickly brought back to Bella as she moaned.
He continued to kiss every inch of her, his touch unrelenting as he kept reclaiming what he could not have for too long, his kisses leaving a heat that the water would not cool and his fingers almost burning her already over-heated skin.
Both knew that the future, the immediate future at least, would be filled with questions and, probably, a lot of violence. But in that moment, neither cared as they requited themselves with each other's bodies after so long. The knew that they would have to come out eventually, that the family would have questions and that Bella must learn how to control the hunger she felt, but for now?
For now, they would just be.
So yeah, that was it, kinda short but it's just a little something to show you that I will try to write more and hinting on what will be happening.
I basically LIVE for your reviews, so please tell me what you thought of this chap and what you think will happen in the future.
Better go now, dog's snoring! ;)
Love ya'll,
Brookie
