After sailing for several weeks, the two friends finally reached New Orleans. Immediately, the two made their way to the Mikealson house.

Upon entering the house, the first thing Bella noticed was how spotless the house was. It seemed unnaturally clean. Niklaus, while Bella was making her observations, was already ordering the servants around.

"Nik, where should I put my bags?" Bella asked, unsure of what to do in this new place.

"Follow me, Nia, I will show you where your room is. I have the perfect one in mind." Nik replied, grabbing her hand and leading her up the stairs.

After Niklaus led Bella to her room, he quickly went to his to drop his own off. Bella, having unpacked already, was heading towards the stairs to find him when she heard the house door open.

"As I said Marcel, Niklaus should be returning soon," Said Elijah as he looked around. "Actually, it seems he is already here. Welcome back, Niklaus."

Klaus bypassed Bella on the stairs in a flash, and was suddenly downstairs with his brother talking. Bella paused, as to not interrupt the conversation.

"It's good to be back, brother. How are you, Marcel?", Klaus asked, as he hugged his adopted son. "Where is Rebekah?"

"Im doing quite well, Nik. I remember Rebekah said something about going into town this morning, but I'm not sure which one. She is most likely at the square." Marcel replied.

As Klaus began his next sentence, he was interrupted by a sudden question from Marcel.

"Is someone here with you Nik? I thought you were traveling alone from London."

Seeing this as a perfect opportunity to join the conversation, Bella flashed down the stairs and in front of Marcel, oblivious to the well-dressed original now frozen in the dining room behind her.

"That would be me," Bella said as she shook his hand. " Pleased to meet you, Marcel. Im Isabella."

As she said this, Elijah made his way to stand behind her. He was not going to let her go so easily again.

"Hello again, Miss Isabella. I was beginning to fear I might not see you again. How have you been since our last encounter?" Elijah questioned.

Bella froze. She was not expecting such an encounter so soon, but she should have known. She turned around from the now confused faces of Marcel and Klaus, and turned to look into Elijah's eyes.

Well, I'm up to four rewritten chapters now. What are y'all thinking?
