AN: When you kill an Original the entire bloodline doesn't die out in my story. Only the Original does but the rest of the vampire world still lives. Also this story takes in early September. The Vampire Diaries episodes from seasons to up to By the Light of the Moon take place over the summer and the beginning of September.
I do not own Twilight or Vampire Diaries, they belong to their respective owners and creators.
I have a Photobucket register too and it will have some pictures for this story. The link to the In The Darkness album will be on my profile page.
Sorry, I re-posted this because I saw some mistakes and wanted to get rid of them and add the above note.
Ch.2 – What Do You Take Me For
Then I'm like whatever
Go on right through the front door
Bye I'll see you later
What do you take me for, what do you take me for
Boy now that the tables have turned, don't let me see you begging
It's a hard life lesson to learn, when it's me you're not getting
So low but you're all alone, and now you got no power
Let go cause I'm cutting the rope, guess you climbed the wrong tower
What Do You Take Me For - Pixie Lott ft. Pusha T.
I lead Edward out into the woods, far enough away from the tree line that no one can see us but close enough so that I can have a more dramatic exit. Edward soon passes me and turns around. He puts the stereo on the forest floor, straightens and crosses his arms over his chest.
"We're leaving," he says quite bluntly.
"So? What concern is it to me?" I ask, accidently slipping my accent into my words.
Edward takes half a step back in shock and I smirk again. In my human days, I was told that my smirk is like all of my brothers, the same deadliness in it.
"I wanted to tell you so that you wouldn't wonder where we were." Edward covers his lapse in expression quickly. If I had been human, I wouldn't have seen it but I'm not.
"Why would I care?" I ask really cheerily.
"Because you're my mate and I'm leaving." Edward says in a confused tone.
I snort and roll my eyes at him, "Yeah, I'm not your mate." I inform him.
"Yes, you are Bella. I love you." He says and looks deeply into my eyes, trying to dazzle me into submission.
A corner of my mouth rises slightly into a smirk and I glare at him, "I don't love you Edward, never have either. And don't think that you can use your little trick to get me to do what you want."
Edwards face twists in confusion and he opens his mouth to question me but I cut him off. "Look Edward, I don't want to hide who I am anymore. I think you'll agree that we haven't been working for a while. Correct?"
He slowly nods his head.
"Good, then we're on the same page. I just wanted to give you your stuff before you leave because I frankly don't need it. Oh, and find someone who really is your mate and don't force it. Okay?" I ask.
Edward reluctantly nods in agreement and I turn away to go back to the house when he speaks. "Bella, how did you know that we were leaving?"
I shrug my shoulders, "Your blank expression for one and I've known this day was coming for a long time." I step up to him so that I have to look up at him. "And know this; don't make decisions for someone else that would really affect them. They always have a choice."
He nods his head in acceptance of my words and then picks up the stereo and walks away without a backwards glance.
"Goodbye, Edward," I say before he disappears and then head towards the house.
Once back inside, I walk into the living room and take down anything that wasn't here before I came into Charlie's life. Down go the faked school pictures and Charlie's ex-wife's pictures and I space out the pictures of Charlie fishing with his friends Billy and Harry along the years.
I then head into the kitchen and take out any appliances that I had bought in the seven months that I have been here. Seven months is too long by my standards, usually I'm gone every four to five months but this time I stayed because I wanted to get to know my descendants better.
I place the photos in the metal trash can and light them on fire and while they are burning, I place all of the appliances in a box to donate. I then head up to my room and grab all of my clothes and personal items and fit them into my one small suitcase.
Over the years, I've learned that it's so much easier to carry around a small suitcase with just the essentials than two or three boxes with big things. Besides, any of the big things I have, like new cars, are in different storage units across the world under fake names. I then have money in many off-land accounts in under different names.
I take the suitcase downstairs and place it beside the door before heading up to my room again. I didn't pain the walls because I knew that it would take too much time to undo the paint job so all I had to do was take down the furniture and decorations. With my speed everything is taken down and is in the back of my truck in half an hour. By that time Charlie is just pulling into the driveway.
"Hey, Bells! What'd you cook to-" Charlie pauses when he sees my suitcase by the doorway and the furniture in the back of the truck. "What's going on Bella?"
"Sorry Charlie," I step up to Charlie and look deep into his eyes. "You will forget everything about Isabella Swan, she don't exist. The last seven months went normally and there was no interruption. Now go up to your room and go to bed." I compel him, my heart clenching at the fact that he will forget me. He is almost as good as my fat was before he did as he did.
Charlie speaks my words back to me and slowly heads up stairs and soon his snores are heard throughout the house. I smile sadly before getting into the car and driving away.
I drive down to La Push after compelling all the people in Forks to forget me and putting money into Charlie's account. I have already compelled most of La Push, a tribe of shape shifters, except for Billy and Jacob. I just hope that they don't try to talk to someone about me and get suspicious since no one remembers who I am.
I pull up the familiar small red house and quickly knock on the door. I hear Billy wheel himself towards the door and he opens it with a bright smile on his face.
"Hey Billy, is Jake here?" I ask taking a quick look into the house. I already know that Jake is in the house because I can hear his heart thumping near the back of the house. But I have to act human around other people.
"Yeah, he's sleeping in his room. Go on in and wake him up Bella, he should get up soon away." Billy wheels away enough that I can sneak past him and into the house.
I stride quickly into Jacob's room and shake him roughly. "Jake, wake up." I say in his ear.
"Wha? Oh hey Bells." He mumbles, still slightly asleep.
He pulls himself into a sitting position and rubs his eyes. I slowly reach out and take one of his hands and say almost the same thing that I said to Charlie, "You will forget everything about Isabella Swan, she didn't exist. Now leave your room in three minutes to have supper."
I wanted to make sure that the pack will remember what happened with the nomad vampires and the fact that they changed. It would be cruel if I made them forget all of what happened to them.
I blur out of his room and seemingly appear out of nowhere in front of Billy. Billy jumps in his chair and grabs his heart while laughing. "Bella, you scared me there. How'd you get out here so fast?" He looks at me curiously.
I lean down slightly to look deeply into Billy's dark and wise eyes better. My pupils change size as I compel him, "You will forget everything about Isabella Swan, she didn't exist. The last seven months went normally and there was no interruption."
I then blur out of the house and hop into my truck. I want to go and find out from one of my minions exactly what my brothers have been up too and if there is any news.
The last time that I saw my real father was right after the Second World War. He had came back to America to search for Klaus but instead found me. I can still remember that day like it was yesterday.
*~In The Darkness~*
Mikael had walked through the bookstore that I was in and immediately spotted me. I tried to escape before he could harm me but it didn't work. So then I used plan B and pretended to be so happy to see him again, like I was lost without my dear father. He bought right into it, but that might be because I was his oldest and favorite child. He's always had high hopes for me and before my family was changed I tried to live up to them. But when my family was changed, I left and didn't care anymore if I lived up to his expectations or not.
I led him back to my apartment and asked him to sit. He nodded and sat down, slowly taking in my sparse apartment. I walked into my bedroom and grabbed the locked case out from the top shelf of my closet. Inside is eight out of the original ten white oak ash stakes, and six daggers and white oak ash for the daggers to be dipped in. I grab one of the stakes and put it in the waistband of my jeans.
I didn't say anything while I walked up to my father, I just smiled reassuringly. He would be peaceful soon. At least I hoped.
Faster than he can tell, I had the stake in my hands and I thrust it into his chest. I felt his bones break from the force and rammed the stake into his heart. I lean in, "I'm sorry father, say hello to mother for me," I whispered in his ear and back away from his body before it burst into flames.
He didn't scream because he had accepted his fate. I turned away from the sight of my father burning amidst the flames and grab the bottle on my bookshelf that has his name on it. I quickly put his ashes into the bottle and hurry to go and pack.
*~In The Darkness~*
I'm still shocked at my coldness and robotic manner that I acted in. But I had to kill my father I could not let him hurt anyone else. Mikael would've used me or any of my siblings to get to Klaus and kill him and then kill us because we do not have use to him anymore. I couldn't let that happen.
I still have his ashes but they are in a safe deposit box in a small town in France. In fact, I have almost everyone in my family's ashes in that safe deposit box. The latest family member that I killed was my younger sister Rebekah so the only people left are Elijah, Klaus and I.
It was just after I killed Rebekah in 1975 that I started to feel more depressed than ever. I was always staring off into the distance, more than usual. I didn't know what was up with me but I did know that I was tired of running from Klaus. I felt like I had wasted too much time running when I could've looked for my real love or planned Klaus' death sooner. During my travels I always saw at least one very happy couple and family and it would seem like a stake to the heart by the amount of pain. My family would never be a family again and I can't start a new family because either Klaus will kill them or I will have to leave them.
That feeling started the idea inside my head and one day I almost went through with it. I had walked back home from high school and headed straight towards the closest in my bedroom to grab the locked case. There are now only six daggers, stakes and ashes kept in bottles left for me to use.
When you dip one of the daggers into the white oak ash and then shove it into an Original's heart, they will be temporarily dead as long as the dagger stays inside them. The dagger doesn't give you a real death but being staked by a White Oak Stake can. Since it is wood from the original White Oak Tree, it is the only thing that can truly kill an Original. Before the tree burned I had grabbed many branches to forge them into stakes and then killed my family off one by one.
But that day I grabbed a stake and was going to kill myself. I mean no one would miss me, and the only two people that would really care if I was dead are Klaus and Elijah. Both for different reasons though. Klaus would only care because he wouldn't be able to break his stupid curse but Elijah would miss me on this world, even if he works for Klaus still. At least I believe that he still does.
If I killed myself then Klaus would never be able to break that damn curse and hopefully will give up on the quest. Then maybe my death will bring Elijah and Klaus together and will try to make our family proud. And my other reason was that I wouldn't need to run anymore and can see my family after all these years.
But then fate gave me another twist in my life. I had looked down at my locket and realized something that made me drop the stake in shock. Klaus would never give up on his quest and would go on a rampage and kill anyone I ever knew. I wouldn't be there to protect them and no one else would be able to deal with Klaus.
Elijah would try, I'm sure, but would just end up with a dagger in his heart.
