Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.

Arabella's POV:
I bolted at Regan and punched her straight in the face. She flew about thirty feet away as I kicked one of the fairy guys in the gut. He quickly went to punch me, but I blocked him and did a quick snap of his neck. I threw a white flame at Regan once she got close and kicked the other fairy guy in the head. I had kicked him so hard that his neck got snapped. I went to punch the other guy when his neck snapped, but not by my own hands...
I turn around to see Davina standing there with her hands stretched out in front of her, with a determined look. I didn't have enough time to focus on yelling at her because I was hit by a white flame from one of Regan's men. I fell on the ground, but got up quickly. My eyes turned from brown to pure black with blood red pupils and my two fangs came out. I hissed angrily at the faeries and I lunged at the neck of one of the men and bite hard. He tried fighting, but I just held onto him stronger and sunk my fangs in further. I moaned in delight as I drained the fairy of his blood and let go of him once he was dry. His body dropped to the ground dead as the last man's neck got snapped by a unknown source and Regan's heart was ripped out.
I watch as Regan falls on the ground, dead, but not permanently and look up at the person who killed her. My eyes widen as I see the anger in his eyes. Father...
"Elijah?" Davina asked with curiosity in her voice. He got out his handkerchief and whips his bloody hands. I am so in trouble...
"Yes... I'm here to have a little chat with Arabella Jace. Why don't you go home to Marcel? I'll bring some more spells over soon," Dad said with authority in his voice. I crossed my arms over my chest with my eyes still black and I have blood running down from my mouth. I looked over at Davina and nodded my head for her to leave. She modded her head slowly and ran away. I faced my father and saw disappointment on his face.
"Are you going to yell at me? Tell me that your disappointed or ask me why I left?" I asked him with sarcasm dripping from my voice. Dad sent daggers my way and grabbed Regan's legs and another man's legs. He started dragging them towards the back of a van, ignoring me. My eyebrows were furrowed together in confusion and anger as he just ignored me. "Silent treatment... That's fine with me," I said in a annoyed tone. Suddenly, my father flashed in front of me with anger in his eyes.
"I told you to stay in the house. Your Aunt Rebekah, Uncle Niklaus, and Hayley told you the same and you-" He began to say, but I interrupted him and threw my hands up.
"Disobeyed! I'm not a dog! Where you tell me to sit and I sit! I needed to see other people besides my family! I needed to get out of that house! I-" I yelled out at him, but he shook his head and interrupted me.
"You could of gotten hurt or worse, killed! We are trying to keep you safe!" Dad yelled at me with rage. I flinched back a little, but I'm gonna tell him how I feel.
"I know that, but I need some kind of freedom! I just wanted to see the city! I asked you if you would come with or anyone and you all said, NO!" I yelled back with the same rage. Dad shut his eyes and took in a couple of deep breaths in and then out. He shook his head and in a blur he got all of the dead bodies in the back of the van. He shut the trunk and got in the drivers seat. I knew what he wanted and I obeyed because I didn't want to anger him anymore.
Dad started to drive and called Rebekah and Klaus, saying he found me. We drove in silence for the whole ride home.
After Dad parked the car, I quickly got out of the car and in a blur went in the house and strait to my room. I slammed the door shut and took a deep breath in and then, out. I quickly got in the shower and then, I got dressed in my black sweats and in my gray baggy t-shirt. I laid down on my bed, not falling asleep, but wishing I could go outside in the city tomorrow...
Elijah's POV:
After I had burnt the bodies of those faeries that tried to harm my daughter, I walked into the mansion. I quickly sent a text to Rebekah and Niklaus, that I found my daughter. I shut the door and heard Arabella's door shut. I huffed and shook my head feeling exhausted after our little fight. I walked into the living room and put my jacket off and hung it on the coat rack. I saw the fireplace lit. I sat down in the couch and had my elbows on my knees and my hands clasped together, dangling as I leaned forward and got lost in my thoughts.
I know Arabella is angry, but I promised her that I would keep her safe and she made me break my promise tonight. She sneaked out of the mansion and went to the French Quarters, doing exactly what I told her not to do. I'm only keeping her here because it's safe and we know where she is at all times. When we didn't hear any noise in her bedroom for about fifteen minutes we panicked, well I panicked at first and then everyone did when we couldn't find her. I don't know why, but we couldn't track her scent... at all. I became extremely worried that Arabella was captured by those faeries, those monsters again, and when I did find her... I became furious, but also filled with shock...
I saw Arabella fight off those men and I saw her feed. Klaus would be proud, but I was more horrified then anything else. My daughter, my little girl, my Bella, was a perfect fighter. Her speed, her agility, her strength, her knowledge of how to easily beat someone down no matter how tough they look or are, and how vicious she fought. Her eyes turned from hazel brown to a pure black with crimson red as pupils. Arabella didn't have veins appear on her face though, but she had sharp fangs and her eyes glowed a little. A normal person wouldn't of noticed the faint glowing, but there was a little glowing in her eyes. Arabella looked frightening to me. I know a parent should never tell their children that they were a little frighten of them, but she was vicious looking and vicious fighting those men.
I felt frighten for a split second, but my fury soon showed as I killed that woman and the man. I felt betrayed, worried, furious, and curious towards my miracle child, my daughter. I, of course, felt betrayed and furious because of her breaking my promise of keeping her safe, but also because of the way she talked back to me. But I have to get used to fighting her because she will be a teenager soon. I felt worried and curious because of the way she fought and her vampire face. I was worried because I think when she told us that they made her killed innocent people, they taught her how to fight as well.
After thinking about that, I became sadden at the thought of her being force to deal with that pain and guilt of killing all of those people. The thought still shocks me because of a child force to kill people and carry that guilt with her. It's just shocking and I'm always filled with worry because I feel like her pain is my fault. I can't stop her pain and I wish I could make all of the horrible memories and feelings go away for her, but that is only a dream that can never come true.
I was snapped from my thoughts by the front door slamming shut. I stood up and looked over at the door to see Klaus and Rebekah looking angry.
"Where is she?" Rebekah asked as they both walked into the living room. I took a breathe of air and looked at the ground and than back up to see them both filled with anger.
"Arabella is in her room. She's probably in bed. I'm letting her calm down before I talk to her..." I said to them calmly, but I was feeling aggravated about Arabella still sneaking out, so I had to calm down as well. Klaus rolled his eyes and I could tell that he was very annoyed and he was very worried about Arabella, which kind of surprised me. Hayley walked in with curiosity and worry in her eyes.
"Why the bloody hell did she sneak out in the first place?" My brother asked with annoyance clearly in his tone. I huffed again, but Hayley surprised me by what she said next.
"Bell probably feels isolated. I mean, she is almost a teenager and she's been bugging everyone to take her out into the city. She's bound to break a few rules, no kid is an angel. Not even Elijah's kid," Hayley explained to us. I nodded my head, understanding what she was saying. I understand that Arabella feels isolated, but I have to and I will keep her safe. I don't want my miracle child to get hurt or worst, killed.
"I understand that, but I don't want her to get hurt or worst, killed or tortured again... She's my only child and it's a miracle that she's even my daughter. I won't and I can't lose her..." I explained as I rubbed my temples, My little sister walked up to me with a soft smile. She put a comforting hand on my upper arm and smiled at me.
"Hey... We won't let anything happen to her," She said and than Klaus shocked me. He nodded his head with a little smile,
"I actually like my niece. I don't want any harm to come to her and neither does anyone else. So your miracle daughter is going to always be protected, brother," Klaus said and I sent a smile towards my brother and sister. Maybe Arabella has grown on everyone around her. That's comforting and it makes me feel a lot more happier. I nod my head and look up at Hayley who sends me a beautiful smile my way. Rebekah pats my arm and takes a step back with a smirk on her face.
"Now go on and make amends with your daughter. We'll leave you two at peace and go on our own business..." Rebekah said and I nodded my head and immediately go towards the stairs and go upstairs. I go over to Arabella's room and softly knock on her door. I didn't hear an answer and I suspiciously open the door and see that my daughter is sleeping.
I smiled and see her uncovered, she must be a little cold because I saw her shivering. I walk over and cover her with her blankets. I stop and look down at my miracle child and lightly caress her cheek. I bend down and lightly kiss her forehead and whisper, "Good-night, Arabella."
I stand up and walk over to the door. I look back and grab the door handle. I smiled again and shut the door behind me. I took a deep breathe of air and shut my eyes, but they immediately snap open once I heard a bunch of movement. Then, I heard her scream...
Arabella's POV:
I was in the French Quarter as I ran. I didn't know why or who I was running from, but I was scared for my life. I've never felt this much fear inside me before as I ran. I didn't know how I got into this white dress and black flats because the last thing I remember is going to bed and wearing my pajamas. I didn't get why when I yelled that I couldn't hear my own voice or that no one could see or hear me. There were people all around me that didn't seem frighten or aware of me at all? They didn't turn to see a girl in a white dress with years streaming down her face as she ran for her life, for an unknown reason. What's happening to me?
I hear a whoosh and the scene changed in front of me. I was in the forest and the sun was just coming out. No one was around me, but I heard menacing laughs surrounding me. I turned left to right and I kept walking in a circle, trying to find the unknown voices of laughter. I stop when I saw my father standing there with a evil smirk on his face. He was standing in front of me, but about thirty feet away. I turned to my left and I saw Klaus with the same look and thirty feet away. Rebekah was on my right and Hayley was behind me. My mom and Ryan, my little brother stood next to my father. They surrounded me into a circle and all of them were looking at me, evilly.
"What's going on? What is this?" I asked all of them and at the exact same time they laughed at me, evilly. I was scared now and confused. Why are they doing this to me? What did I do?
"You will die... Maybe not tonight or in a week, but you will die," Dad said with an evil smirk. I had tears streaming down my face at his words and shook my head. Then, out of no where, a little girl walked up to me. She had brown hair and big blue eyes. She looked to be around three or four years old. The little girl had a frown on her face as she looked up at me and I suddenly realized who she is. This little girl is Klaus and Hayley's daughter or will be... What the hell is going on?
"Your going to get me killed... Your existence will kill me because you wanted to live!" The little girl yelled out and I froze with fear. Her eyes started to bleed out, like tears. Her nose, her mouth, and ears starting bleeding and I was getting scared. She all of a sudden, pinned me to the ground and growled. I tried to get up, but than my father, my uncle, and my aunt pinned me down. I had tear streaming down my face. I was scared of dying. I didn't want to die... I just hope they make this quick...
"Please! Stop! I'll-I'll-" I began to say, but more like sob out to them. They glared down at me with hatred in their eyes. My future-cousin, smirked at me and held up a knife and stabbed my stomach, interrupting me. I screamed out in pain and I felt my bones breaking. My father, uncle, and aunt were breaking my bones. I screamed out in pain and than I saw my little brother break my leg, my mother helping. I cried out in pain and screamed more and than I saw Regan standing off the side and smirking evilly.
"This is only the beginning. You think this is terrifying. You don't even know the meaning... I'll find you and I'll kill your family, that abomination, and make you watch... Then, I'll kill you," Regain said with hatred and meaning in her words. My future-cousin reached in my chest and gripped my beating heart. I screamed out in pain and then-
"ARABELLA! ARABELLA!" An unknown voice yelled, waking me up. I spurn up in tears as I tackled the man waking me. I broke off a piece of wood in one quick movement and went to stake the intruder, but someone grabbed me by the waist and held me off the person. I engulfed myself in white flames and the person let go. I kicked another person and went to ran for the door when someone tackled me to the bed. I quickly stabbed the person with the stake, but the person quickly disarmed me. I began to squirm to get free, but the person was strong.
"ARABELLA! LOOK AT ME! I'M YOUR FATHER! I'M YOUR DAD!" The unknown voice yelled out to me. I squirmed more, but I couldn't escape. "CALM DOWN AND BREATHE! JUST BREATHE, ARABELLA ELI JACE!" The voice yelled again. I finally did what the man wanted. I shut my eyes and took in deep breathes in and out, slowly. Once I calmed down, I opened my eyes. I saw my father holding me down and I saw my uncle, Klaus, with smoke coming off of him. Klaus's face, hands, arms, and shirt were all burnt, but slowly healing. He was sitting on a chair and breathing slowly, but I could see his pain.
I looked over at my aunt, Rebekah, who was holding her cheek and helping Klaus. I saw my desk, chair, and most of my room a little destroyed. I looked back at my father and saw blood on him. I saw the pain and worry on his face and I started sobbing. Dad slowly got off of me, but brought me into a hug.
"I'm so sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry," I kept repeating, feeling very guilty, sad, and scared. I buried my face in his chest as I held onto my father tightly, like if I let go the world would end. He wrapped his arms around me and put his head on top of mine. He kissed the top of my head and than put his head back on top of mine.
"It's okay... Your safe, I'm here, your safe..." He kept whispering to me. I shook my head and leaned my head back with tears streaming down my face. My dad looked at me with a confused and worried look.
"No were not... No ones safe... No ones safe..." I kept repeating those words as I buried myself into my father's chest again. No ones safe... Not with Regan around and the others... No ones safe...
