Chapter 5: Let the games begin
Holy water cannot help you down
Hours and armies couldn't keep me out
I don't want your money
I don't want your crowd
See I have to burn
Your kingdom down
Holy water cannot help you now
See I've had to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out
The next week passed very slowly for the twins. Edward wasn't there and the rest of the Cullens didn't seem like they could be persuaded as easily to let them in. When Bella approached the small pixie she looked extremely nervous. Kayla had asked her how Edward was since he hadn't come back after he ran out of the class. The only answer she received was that he was feeling under the weather and he wouldn't be back until at least next Monday.
On that monday, the twins parked in their usual spot, but today they noticed the shiny volvo was back after a week of absence. They smirked at each other - which the other students had quickly caught on that was normal for the two brunettes.
The beginning of the day passed by slower than usual, so when Biology class came around the twins were unusually irritated. These bloody students wouldn't leave them alone for one second, the two Original were constantly asked out to dates and these people were more nosey than Rebekah - which is saying something on it's own. So when Edward decided to finally be civil to Kayla it was no surprise that she snapped.
"Hello." Edward said when she sat down, when she didn't respond he continued, "I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last week. My name is Edward Cullen."
She glared at him anger swimming at the edge of her large brown eyes.
"...You're Bella." The young Cold-One prompted.
"Wow, it appears you have a brain in that hollow little head of yours." She said snarkily, not at all in the mood for a civil talk.
Kol felt her irritation rising from the other room and he smirked lazily. Edward chuckled lowly at Kayla's response making her glare harden, enjoying seeing him skirm at her icy look.
"You do not get to come here and act as if nothing happened when last week you acted like a complete jackass to me and disrespected me." He looked down sheepishly at the table at her comment.
The teacher started talking about a competition. They had to identify at some cells in order to win a gold spraypainted onion. The newly undaggered siblings didn't understand how that could be considered a prize but they didn't comment. Of course Kayla knew what the cells were easily just by looking at the slide and from what she had read in her notebook, but she played along.
"Ladies first." Edward pushed the microscope towards her. She quickly looks at the first slide.
"Prophase." She stated with little―more like no emotion. When she started to take the slide out he promptly stopped her.
"May I look?" He asked in an even tone. Her irritation shot up, making her clench her fist under the table. She pushed the microscope back to him without a word trying to cool down, knowing that if she doesn't the famous Mikaelson temper would come to light.
"Prophase." He said not helping her current anger trouble.
"Just like I said." She glared at the side of his head as he wrote down the answer. He looked like he was trying to calm down too at her response and The Original smirked slightly knowing she was affecting him.
"Enjoying the rain?" He asked we he turned to look at her.
"Are you honestly asking about the weather?" She snapped.
"It appears." Was his curt response.
"No. I don't like the cold. Or the wet. Or the grey. Or rain coats. Or this bloody town." She rambled and he looked at her more intrigued than before.
"And you say I complain." Kol grumbled.
"What was that, dearest brother?" She raised an elegant eyebrow at him, daring him to make another comment.
"Oh nothing, darling little sister. You should calm down, your temper is showing, Lala." Kol smirked at the glare she shot him.
"I'm only two minutes younger than you, Olly. And don't talk about my temper when yours is just like mine." Kayla stuck her tongue out at him childishly.
"That was immature, Lala." Kol called out.
"You're immature, Olly." His twin responded automatically, not even thinking about it.
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Will you shut up!" The teacher exclaimed at them looking exasperated, after a week of them in his class it was explainable. The twins shot him their identical smirks and they went back to the task at hand. Not before Kol muttered "Am not." under his breath in a way humans couldn't have heard. But Kayla snorted despite herself and shot an amused glance at her brother.
This had been their favorite argument over the years and it usually ended with Rebekah laughing her ass off, Nik was just aggravated that hundred-year-olds could be so childish and Elijah ended up by telling them they were both being immature children and then sent them to their shared room. And on the very rare occasions that Finn was present he would look amused at his younger sibling's antics.
Edward was staring at her with a mixture of amusement and intrigue.
"What?", She snapped her previous anger coming back as she looked at the Cold-One.
He shook his head, as if clearing his thoughts, and looked down at the next slide.
"Anaphase." He said without truly looking and went to take it out, but Kayla, still irritated that he had doubted her earlier, interrupted him.
"May I see?" She asked in a sickly sweet tone. He nodded, pushing the microscope towards her. "Anaphase." Kayla confirmed after a brief look.
"Like I said." He mirrored her earlier words, making her glare at him once again, not appreciating his humor one bit.
"So why did you move to the rainiest place in the US if you hate the rain?" He finally asked the question he had wanted to ask before Kol disrupted them.
"You probably already heard from the rumor mill, not that it is any of your business anyway." She answered coldly.
"I'm just trying to understand you. You're a very hard person to read." He said
"Easy people to read are boring." And with that she just ignored him for the rest of the class, much to his despair and Kol's amusement.
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house
See I was dead when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done
Before the day is done
The twins walked towards their car, bickering like an old married couple all the way there. Right before Kayla could get in the car, an out-of-control van barrelled towards her. She was just about to move when she noticed Edward looking utterly horrified. An idea then popped into her head. They would draw him out so he had to tell them about his Cold-One nature. She quickly glanced at her twin telling him not to do anything with a her 'mess-up-my-plan-and-you-die' look, he looked slightly reluctant, but a quick glare made him stop any protest.
The next thing she knew, Edward was right next to her stopping the van with his bare hand. 'Well, that was dumb', Kayla thought sarcastically. She hid a smirk as he looked at her, fear obvious in his eyes. Then, the yelling started. Edward jumped over the hood of the van, making Kayla roll her eyes at his dramatics.
"Oh my god! Bella, I'm so sorry." Tyler―who had been driving the van―kept apologizing.
Kol quickly went over to her and looked her over for any injuries like when they were children.
"Are you okay?" His identical brown eyes locked onto hers.
She smiled at him innocently, "Of course, I'm fine, brother."
"Dear God, you are an idiot sometimes." He stated, pointedly ignoring everyone around them.
"Oh Olly, how you wound me." his sister said sarcastically, placing a hand over her heart in mock hurt.
"Look at the car." Kol pointed to the now dented vehicle, looking more concern about it than his own twin.
"Are you worrying more about that car than your own twin sister?" Kayla raised an eyebrow at him in challenge.
"Sister, dearest, did you perhaps forget who we 'borrowed' the car from?" Kol asked, mimicking her by crossing his arms over his broad chest.
After a second, she realized who he was talking about, "Oh bloody hell! We are dead."
"For centuries now." Kol deadpanned ironically. She couldn't help to laugh at her brother's terrible timing. Everyone around them were staring at them curiously seeing as the twins looked strangely indifferent about the fact Bella was almost pancaked a few minutes prior.
The chaos soon started again much to the twins' sorrow. They both spotted the rest of the Cullen family looking at their 'brother' with a mixture of disappointment and fury. The twins shared a secretive glance and a smile broke onto their faces at the same time. Let the games begin...
And now all your love will be exorcised
And we will find you saying it's to be better now
And it's an even sum
It's a melody
It's a battle cry
It's a symphony
They can keep me high
'Til I tear the walls
'Til I save your heart
And I take your soul
And what have we done?
Can I be undone?
In the evil heart
In the evil soul
Hi!
Okay this chapter is a bit shorter than I anticipated but I promise the next ones will be longer. I'm posting before schedule since I'm not home tomorrow and I won't have access to a computer… I decided to bring another Mikaelson in Forks later on, but it might be a while. Sorry for any mistakes… I should update in 3-4 days. Was it Good? Bad?
I don't own anything except my O.C.
