As I walked out the tomb I heard Stefan explain to Elena and Bonnie what happened. I could feel the water sitting in my eyes as I struggled to keep the tears from running down my face, I didn't want them to see me cry. "We need to find out when Klaus plans on coming here. Elena shouldn't be left alone anytime now."
"What about you, Isa? Do you honestly think we'll let you go up against Klaus alone?" Damon shouted.
"That's exactly what it think, Damon. This whole thing started between me and Katherine. I'll be the one to end it. Just promise me that when everything happens you'll still keep a eye on Katherine until she finally dies," I told them.
"God, Isabella. You're so stupid," Damon shouted. I knew he was angry since he rarely called me Isabella.
"Oh, I'm stupid now? Fuck you Damon," I said as I walked away. I heard all their voices shout after me telling me to come back as I proceeded to run through the woods but I really just needed to think right now.
I found a place in the middle of a meadow, it reminded me of the one Edward showed me only this was much more beautiful. My mind started to wander to the Cullens, I wonder if they'd even thought about Bella or if they'd went back to Forks to check on her. If they do they're in for a nasty surprise when they find out no one in the town has no recognition of her.
I heard footsteps coming towards me so I bounded up and stood ready to attack. A flash of red hair was all I saw until I saw Victoria herself appear in front of me. "Hello, Bella. I figured out your little secret," she taunted. "I wonder what the Cullens would think if they knew you were a Original, do they even know they exist. Anyway, I'm here to bring you to Klaus," she said as she grabbed my arm and staked my stomach. As the pain rippled through my body I struggled to stand up as she started to pull me.
Pull her apart and burn her. The words ran through my mind as I grabbed her arm and began fighting her, I struggled to block each punch she threw at me until I finally had her ripped apart. I grabbed a lighter from my pocket and set her ablaze as I began walking back to the Salvatore house. I needed blood for my wound to heal. I pulled up my shirt to see how deep the stake went through and I was shocked at how far she'd managed to dig in.
Tears of agony rolled down my face as I approached the Salvatore house and limped up the stairs, holding my stomach the whole time. "Isa?" I heard all their voices say at the one time. I moaned in response as I walked into the kitchen and started searching for a blood bag and some ice.
I grabbed the nearest blood bag I could find and finished it off as everyone walked into the kitchen. I pulled my shirt up and pressed the ice pack against my stomach. My hands had blood all over them, that was the first thing everyone looked at with wide eyes. "Did you kill someone?" Bonnie asked, appalled.
"Someone from my time in Forks, a cold one, got in contact with Klaus and he sent her to bring me to him. Now he knows I'm here as well, he'll know I've a trace of human blood in me since it was Victoria's boyfriend who bit me. Long story short, she staked me, tried to grab me. I ended up fighting back and I killed her." I explained as I started cleaning my wound.
"See, this is what I meant by you shouldn't be yourself. What if you couldn't kill her, Isa? We don't want to lose you. I don't want to lose you," Damon whispered.
"I know, Damon. I'm so sorry, everything was to much after seeing Katherine and knowing Klaus could be here anytime," I told him. He came over and swept me into a hug. As wrong as it was, Damon hugging me felt so right. I pulled away from him. "I'm going to go up and change my shirt, I'll be back in a few minutes," I told them.
"Can I see your clothes?" Caroline asked with excited eyes.
"Sure. Elena, Bonnie, are you coming too?" They nodded and followed me upstairs. I could hear Stefan, Tyler and Jeremy arguing with Damon about something.
"Your clothes are stunning, Isa. Why don't we help you unpack while you change your shirt?" I nodded, grabbed a shirt and went into the bathroom.
By the time I had went back into the bedroom everything was unpacked and put into the drawers I was now sharing with Damon. "Isa, is anything going on between you and Damon?" Bonnie asked, smirking.
I wish, I thought. "Nope, nothing at all," I said, looking at the ground. I could feel all their eyes on me, burning holes into me, "Jeesh, stop looking at me," I scolded them.
They all laughed and got up as we went downstairs. Once we were all once again seated on the couch Stefan brought up conversation. "So, I was thinking that you should go to school, you know to fit in," Stefan said.
"Ugh. I went to school in the last town I lived in though. Can't I just stay here? Damon doesn't have to go to school," I tried to reason.
"I'm to old for school," Damon pointed out.
"That doesn't mean you couldn't have got a job as a teacher," I replied back cockily.
"That settles it then. We'll use compulsion to get Damon a job as a teacher, history would be best since he's been around long enough. Isa, you can start tomorrow, I'll go phone the school and set everything up," Stefan said, taking out his phone and walking out the room. My mouth hung open, as did Damon's as everyone else looked at our shocked expressions.
"I didn't think Stefan had it in him," Damon said. "I'm impressed. He gets more and more like me everyday."
"That's not a good thing, Damon," I joked. "So for school we'll say that I'm a family friend coming to stay with you guys for a few months?" I asked. They all nodded.
Caroline's phoned started beeping. She checked it quickly then looked up at us. "New kids tomorrow, Matt says he isn't sure how many he just knows there's more than 3 of them," she informed us.
"I take it you're the girl that knows everything at school, right?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm like Gossip Girl but I get much more gossip and everyone knows who I am," she laughed.
Stefan stepped back through the door. "I quickly ran over to the headmaster and compelled him to give you the job. He had to fire one of the other teachers so you get the job, Damon. I made sure he didn't fire Alaric though," he told us. "Oh and you both start tomorrow," he smiled.
"Okay but one question; who's Alaric?" I asked.
"My aunt's boyfriend, also one of our history teachers. He knows about the whole vampire thing, his ex wife, my biological mum, was a vampire. She ran away and got transformed into a vampire. Alaric is skilled, he knows how to kill vampires and he has all the equipment to do it," Elena told me.
"You know what, I think we should all get some sleep since we have school in the morning. I'll drive you home," Stefan said, leading Jeremy, Elena, Bonnie, Tyler and Caroline out.
"Common Isa. Bed time," Damon said, grabbing me around my waist and taking me up to bed. I grabbed shorts and a baggy shirt and went into the bathroom and changed.
I walked back into the room and got into bed, cuddling up to Damon. "You know I'm really sorry about earlier, Isa. I just don't want to lose you and to think that you'd go up against Klaus, especially after knowing what he did to you gives me fear," he whispered into my ear.
"I know. I just over reacted, I wasn't thinking straight after I'd saw Katherine. I'm scared about going up against him to but he's my fear and it's something I always knew I'd have to face," I told him.
Another chapter done for a while. The amount of hits this story has had already makes me so happy. Keep reviewing please.
