Author's Note: While it is set in TVD/The Originals we are skipping around the timeline o no Kol death and no Hayley are being written in. Chapter Six has parts of season three but also parts of season four. Also from here on out it will be set in The Originals home of New Orleans.

Previously:

Deepening the kiss Kol suddenly pulled way abruptly and told her "I'm dangerous poppet." "I know Kol, but it's my decision." Nodding he told her he too would leave Denver, but she would be coming with him to Mystic Falls.

The next few days were quiet and Kol and Bella had packed all their belongings ready for departure. Jeremy had left already and their last night in Kol's apartment Bella and Kol sat in his living room talking about anything and everything.

Now:

Going to bed that night after their chat, Kol and Bella slept soundly only dreaming of the new and good things Mystic Falls could bring them. Though Kol knew Mystic Falls is filled with all kinds of supernatural including his siblings Kol was more worried about the fact that he would be bringing Bella back to a place she hadn't seen in a thousand years.

Waking up the next morning Kol awoke first. Looking around the room he spotted his clock and it read noon. Sighing he peered at the sleeping Bella and leaned over to brush a strand of her hair out of her face. Getting up from the bed he walked to the bathroom and quietly shut the door. Doing his duties, he walked out of the bathroom five minutes later. Walking into his apartment kitchen he turned on the light and started his coffee maker. Moments later a disheveled Bella walked into the kitchen and walked to him embracing Kol and kissing his cheek. Smiling Kol, in turn, kissed her cheek too and got a cup to fill with the delicious hot drink known as coffee.

Sitting down Kol motioned for Bella to sit as well and Kol told Bella "Good Morning darling, it's already noon and we should get a start soon." Smiling Bella sat down and drank her cup of coffee in silence whilst sometimes glancing at Kol smiling. Finishing up his cup of coffee Kol got up to refill and sat back down. Looking at his cup he drank until he was done and in that moment Bella had finished too. Grabbing both cups, he deposited them in the sink and dashed off to take a shower calling out to Bella "Care to join darling?" Laughing merrily, she told him "Not today Kol." Pouting Kol stuck his out of the door "fine another day then."

Listening in Bella could hear the shower going and just thinking of Kol all naked and wet had her blushing fifty shades of red. Immersed in her own world she did not hear Kol exit the bathroom until he whispered in her ear "All yours darling." Coming out of her thoughts she took one look at Kol and bit her bottom lip. Kol solely looking at her bottom lip brushed his thumb over her soft luscious lip and told her "Poppet if you don't stop biting your lip you're going to be in trouble." Giggling Bella gazed into Kol's eyes and kissed his cheek walking off.

Starting the shower, she got the hot water to just the right temperature. Peeling off her clothes she stepped into the shower and stood under the hot cascading water for several minutes. Lathering up Kol's shampoo she washed her hair and body. Taking in his scent from the shampoo and body wash made her smile. Finishing her hot shower, Bella stepped out of the tub and dried herself off. Looking around she didn't see her clothes and sighed in defeat. Bella was going to have to walk into the room where undoubtedly Kol would be sitting on the bed waiting to make a cheeky remark at her. To her utter relief, he wasn't in the room so she quickly grabbed her clothes and dashed back into the bathroom. Dressing she did all of her girly bathroom activities and then walked out of the bathroom to see Kol lounging on the bed with his eyes closed. Walking towards the bed she quietly sat down and peered at Kol in awe. She wasn't quite sure how she managed to catch such a great looking guy, but she wasn't about to take it for granted. Not with a death sentence on her head.

After minutes of gazing at Kol, he opened his eyes and smiled at her lovingly. Through thick and thin he and Bella had been through it all. A thousand years wasn't going to change that history.

Leaning over to kiss her lips he smiled and mouthed the words "forever and always" these were words he had said to his family and though he meant them then, he truly meant them now. Grabbing her hand, he stood up and walked with her to the door that leads outside his apartment. Whispering his words to her he said: "It's now or never love, are you ready?" Nodding Bella walked with him out the door and was greeted by a posh car. Kol seeing her surprise told her "Gift of thy brother." Opening her door, he helped her into the seat and buckled her in and dashed over to the driver's side and got in. Buckling and starting the car he told her "rest now darling we have ways yet to Mystic Falls." Closing her eyes, she leaned on the side of the window and drifted off to sleep.

Kol sat in silence driving endlessly to reach Mystic Falls when his phone rang. RING! RING! "Hello, what the bloody hell do you want?" Laughter could be heard on the other side of the phone "Kol relax I'm just calling to let you know the younger Gilbert has arrived and his troublesome sister and the Scooby gang are making life hell here. Watch yourself, brother, I believe they are up to no good." With that, his brother hung up the phone. "Stupid Nik and his incessant need for control." Grumbling Kol continued to drive for many miles yet. Still, his sleeping lover was still sound asleep without a care in the world.

Driving for days, Bella was in and out of consciousness her sleeping the only reprieve she had from her swirling thoughts of what Mystic Falls could bring. Reaching the state of Virginia Kol stopped to refuel as he did many times during the trip, but this time he gently shook Bella to wake her up. "Darling we've reached Virginia." Opening her eyes, she looked around at the surroundings and knew in her hearts of hearts Mystic Falls wasn't so different from Forks.

Continuing their drive Kol and Bella still continued to sit in silence until Bella had enough. Speaking she asked Kol "What's going to happen?" Kol not sure how to answer told her "I don't know love. I don't know." Reaching the heart of Mystic Falls they passed the Mystic Grille and many other small town establishments. Going farther out of town they reached a mansion and standing on the porch was none other than Klaus. Putting the car in park Kol got out and opened the door for Bella. Reaching for her hand he walked with her to the porch where Klaus stood "Nik long time no see brother." Klaus stood there in silence and grinned "brother." The acknowledgment was simple Kol had done his job well. Klaus then gazed his eyes on Bella and gasped "Isabella." Looking directly into her deep chocolate eyes he couldn't believe his eyes. A thousand years and yet here she was in front of him. Truth be told he didn't know much about Bella from the past or the present, but he knew Elijah did and from what Elijah had told him she was all Kol had ever wanted.

Klaus remembered the day Elijah revealed whom Isabella was. It was just after Kol had lost his sanity again and Klaus was going to dagger him again when he murmured Isabella's name before he succumbed to the sleep of the white oak stake. Elijah sat down with Klaus and told him of his suspicions and whom he thought Isabella was.

Bringing his hands together Klaus rubbed them together motioning them inside. Calling out Elijah's name he was met by footsteps. More than one set from what Klaus could gather and truth here it was Rebekah, Elijah and Finn all walked into the entryway. Gazing at Kol Rebekah smiled and patted him on the shoulder as did Finn and Elijah. Not seeing Bella as she was hidden by Kol Rebekah stopped short and sniffed the air. Turning on Kol she said, "Bring a snack Kol?" Rebekah was met by a pissed off Kol. Snarling Kol told her venomously "Try Bekah and it will be your last." Both Rebekah and Kol exchanged words until Elijah had enough "Bekah you should know well not to anger Kol, and Kol maybe you should introduce your friend to us."

Sighing Kol unsheathed Bella and told everyone "This is Bella, we share a history far beyond fuck and feed." Blushing Bella looked down until Kol cheekily kissed her cheek.

In the corner of Kol's eyes, he could see Elijah gazing at the two with interest whilst Rebekah and Finn merely looked with dismal interest. Clearing his throat Elijah spoke, "Welcome Bella, I trust Kol has been treating you with the respect you deserve." Giggling Bella spoke even though her breathing was heavy with laughter "Good evening Mr. Mikaelson yes Kol is treating me with the utmost respect." Smiling Elijah came forward and hugged her telling her softly in her ear "Good, welcome to the family dear sister." Accepting his hug, she kissed his cheek. Kol, of course, was pouting until Bella turned and pulled him close only to grab his neck to kiss his lips softly. Grinning widely Kol tried to deepen the kiss until Bella told him "Patience Kol." Pouting Kol told her plainly "I don't do patience darling" Sighing Bella let him go and Kol continued to pout in silence.

Laughing Klaus and Elijah rubbed their hands together knowing the game was about to change. Miss Bella Swan was about to turn their lives upside down and they both grinned at the prospect of having another sister. Rebekah, on the other hand, wondered whether or not Bella Swan was up to something. Finn just quietly stood in the back thinking of the power he could feel off of her.

In all the commotion they hadn't noticed another person standing in the entryway. Speaking the person told the originals "Well, well a twist of events we've got here." Turning Rebekah was the first to recover "What do you want Katherine?" Giggling Katherine told them "Just wanted to let you know the Scooby is on their way." Sighing Elijah next spoke, "Thank you, Katerina, is that all?" Looking directly at Elijah and Klaus she spoke: "No that's not all, I wanted to share some insight on your dear Bella." Speaking further she said "Five hundred years as a vampire I studied my history and wanted to let you that though Bella is a human there is more to her than meets the eye. She's essentially a doppelganger but without the entity of being used for the curse. Her involvement stems from Tatia and her hatred for her younger sisters time with Kol." Kol gripping Bella's hand told Katherine "At what cost is there for Bella?" Katherine grinning crazily told Kol "That's for me to know and for you to not." Growling Kol pushed Bella to Elijah and stalked towards Katherine telling her "Listen to you crazy bitch if you don't tell me how much in danger my mate is I'll kill you slowly and enjoy it immensely."

Shrinking Katherine cursed the day she ever double crossed an original. Telling Kol she didn't know to what extent Bella played in the grand scheme of things didn't appease him but he told her whilst nearly strangling her "well then Katherine you had best find out because if you don't I'll kill you only to revive you again to kill again." Choking her yes out she was let go and she dashed out the mansion. Still, in the heat of the moment, Kol paced up and down the entryway muttering under his breath "crazy Katerina and her incessant need for games." Bella still in Elijah's arms pushed his arms away and walked towards Kol. Almost reaching him Elijah called out "Bella I don't think this is a good idea. He's not in the right frame of mind." Stopping she turned to Elijah "I know what I'm doing." Sighing Elijah let it go, but ready to intervene if necessary.

Finishing her walk towards Kol she grasped his hands and pulled him close. Kol breathing in her unique scent pulled her closer and was instantly calmed down. Whispering in her ear he told her "If anything were to happen to you darling I'd kill the earth to avenge you." Also whispering in his ear "I know." Watchful eyes eyed the duo in interest when a new voice cued out "Well this is a change. Kol and a very lovely lady. Hello, their sweetness I'm Damon." Kol rolling his eyes whispered in her ear "Playboy extraordinaire Damon Salvatore, ignore him love he's nothing but trouble. His brother as well." Giggling she kissed his luscious lips and hugged him close. Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, and Finn all closed in and surrounded Kol and Bella as if shielding them from scrutiny.

Kol still whispering in Bella's ear told her "this here darling is the Scooby gang you have Damon and Stefan Salvatore, Bonnie, Caroline, Matt, Elena, Jeremy, and Tyler." Looking at each of the people mentioned she swept them over with a gaze stopping at Damon for a millisecond. Damon seeing her gaze said aloud "See something you like sweets?" Blushing she looked down and then nuzzled her head into Kol's neck. Kol rubbing her back growled out "What's there to like Damon she has me after all." True words could not have been better said so Bella kissed his neck smiling. Damon grinning then told Kol "Afraid she'll leave you are you?" Bella frowning lifted her head from Kol's neck and told Damon "There will be no leaving him not in this lifetime or any after that." Kol smiling ear to ear told her "Never poppet, never."

Elena in the corner of Elijah's eye-rolled her eyes. Like a true Petrova doppelganger, she couldn't stand the attention being on her mumbled lowly "What is it about her?" Rebekah taking the lead on this one told Elena "She's everything you're not Elena. Kind, compassionate shall I go on." Elena frowning shook her head.

Bella looked at Rebekah and thanked her. Rebekah then told Bella "Don't sweat it your family." This was a surprise to all the originals and the Scooby gang because Rebekah rarely showed much emotion that much for humans she didn't know.

The next couple of weeks went by and Esther had been resurrected. Of course, more drama ensued and by the end of the current week, Bella was ready to hightail it out of Mystic Falls. Sadly, though Esther was holding a ball and she expected all the family to attend. This included Bella though Esther made it known that she did not trust Bella at all.

The night before the ball Rebekah offered to help Bella pick a dress that would wow Kol. The dress was a baby blue and went to the floor. Along with the dress, Rebekah chose a pair of high heels that Bella told Rebekah she was likely to fall in. Laughing Rebekah told Bella "Trust Kol, he won't let you fall." Nodding Bella and Rebekah enjoyed their girl's day and went home. Walking into the mansion there sat Klaus, Elijah, and Kol in the living room. Kol was the first to get up and help Bella put her purchases away. Kissing her he and Bella walked into his room where they cuddled before falling asleep.

That same night Elijah, Klaus, and Rebekah talked about the change Bella had brought into Kol's life. Agreeing that Kol was on the mend of his insanity they all headed to their rooms to go to bed.

The next morning Kol and Bella awoke spooned into each other's arms. Bella woke first and lay watching Kol sleep peacefully. Turning to kiss Kol's cheek he awoke with a grin plastered on his face. "Good morning Poppet, how are you doing?" "Good, how are you?" "Fantastic, are you ready for today?" "Sure, as ready as I'm ever going to get." Laughing Kol pulled her close and kissed her with all the passion he could muster.

Getting up both Kol and Bella got ready for the day ahead. By the evening both Kol and Bella were dressed and ready to impress. Welcoming all the guests Kol and his family did the customary greeting and the dancing commenced. Later on, Esther had slithered away to talk to Elena who had arrived on both Salvatore's arms. When Elijah came back from talking to Elena he seemed troubled and pensive.

Walking to the balcony that overlooked the garden she sat in silence until she was interrupted by a groan and then a loud crash. Looking over the banister she saw Kol laying on the pavement floor. Rushing off the balcony she made her way to him outside. Kneeling she checked him over only to be accosted by Damon "Shame isn't it sweets that he's dead." Both Damon and Bella knew he wasn't really, but the thought was sickening. Exchanging words back and forth Bella finally had enough and slapped Damon on the cheek. Rubbing his cheek, he said, "Aren't you a feisty little thing." Sighing Bella was then met by a groan and Kol suddenly sat up. Looking at his surroundings he looked into Bella's expressive eyes and kissed her lips whispering in her ear that everything was alright. Just before he left the garden with Bella he gave Damon some advice "Be careful who you piss of Salvatore or there may not be a second chance."

Walking off with Bella on his arm he walked back into the party and soon it was midnight. Falling on the bed he stripped himself of his shirt and pants waiting for Bella to exit the bathroom. Walking out of the bathroom he was met by Bella in a barely their camisole and short shorts. Groaning he led her to the bed and began to kiss all exposed skin he could touch. Finally going to bed about three in the morning he and Bella drifted off to sleep only thinking about each other.

The next couple of weeks seemed like they were just barely living with all the commotion of Esther's linking spell on her children. In that time frame, it was unveiled that Bella came from a witchy background and Kol and a recovering Finn helped her harness her powers. Within the next several months Bella had successfully undone the linking spell and Finn was on his way to recovery from Esther's dark magic. Also, Bella contacted Sage, Finn's soul mate and she and Finn were now traveling around the world getting reacquainted with each other.

On an afternoon when all the family sat together for dinner, Klaus revealed his plans to move back to New Orleans. With that in motion, the Mikaelson's were packing up and moving out to New Orleans.

Elena and the Scooby gang hadn't been heard from in a while, but to reaffirm that Elena or the Salvatore brothers would not deter the move to New Orleans Klaus granted Elena freedom as long as she willingly gave blood for his hybrids every now and then. Also, he told her under no uncertain terms was she to endanger her life.

The move to New Orleans was smooth sailing and before they knew it the Mikaelson's had reached Louisiana and New Orleans just hours later.
