Chapter Seven: Wolf Curse

We walked towards the witches den with confidence and anger running through our veins. "It's right up here on the right," Davina said. We nodded and walked into the place where Davina said was. She walked inside, and we stood by the door to hear what the witches were saying.

"Davina Claire, what a surprise?" An older witch said.

"Agnus," Davina said with a nod.

Freya walked in. "Someone is trying to start a war. You would happen to know what that is about?" Three more witches came out and joined this Agnus woman. "Katie, Robin, and Gabriella," Freya said with a smirk.

"Let's go," Hayley whispered to Rebekah and I. We walked into the witches den with our head held high. "Hi," Hayley said with a sneer.

"Let's get down to business shall we?" Rebekah asked. She grabbed a plant and inspected it.

"What would three originals and a exiled witch want with us?" Angus asked in a strong manner. Another witch came out and joined them. "Sophie, it seems like we have some guests here."

"I see that," Sophie said. "Who is that?" She asked and pointed at me.

I walked over to the counter and rested my hands on it. I pursed my lips at the witches and looked them up and down. I turned my attention to Katie. "Katie right?" She glared at me. "You must know me. Theirry knows me." The other witches looked at her with confusion. "Oh, they didn't know?" I gave her a fake guilty smile. "Oops. Katie, I'm Isobelle Lebonair." A flash of fear crossed all five witches faces. "Oh, so you have heard about my family? Good."

"I don't approve of someone trying to kill my family. Isobelle may not have triggered her wolf gene, but we come from the same bloodline, and she is still part of the Crescent Wolf Pack," Hayley said with a glare. "You don't want to start a war with the pack do you?"

"She is also under the protection of the Mikaelson family," Rebekah said. She turned to me and smirked. "Tell them the reason why they are under the protection of our family, Isobelle. I can't wait to see the look on their faces."

"You must know of Niklaus Mikaelson," I said, and their faces paled. "You five are witches. You know what mates are? You do. Good. Niklaus Mikaelson is my mate. I don't like it when he is upset or angry. So the fact that one of you bitches tried to kill me, really upset my mate. I don't like that."

Sophie turned her head to Katie. "What did you do?"

Agnus just glared at me. "Don't answer that in front of the disgraces to all supernatural kind."

Sophie looked at Agnus and back to Katie. "What did you do? Who is Theirry?"

"Theirry is a vampire that she is seeing behind everyone's backs," Freya said with a smirk. "You should really think about the consequences of your actions, Katie."

Angus turned her head and looked at Katie with disgust. "A vampire. You are in league with a vampire."

"She and Theirry put wolfsbane on flowers, and they proceeded to put them on the steps of my home. I touched the flowers, and I discovered the poison on them. As you can tell, it doesn't make me a happy person knowing that someone wants to kill me for no reason."

Gabriella moved and stood next to Agnus, and she started chanting. Next thing I know, I'm on the ground trying to catch my breath. This bitch was trying to suffocate me. "Corruptionem," Gabriella said. (Latin: Decay. She is trying to get Bella to decay from the inside out with the spell she just threw at Bella.)

Freya was immediately down next to me, and she was chanting. When she was done chanting her spell, I felt a lot better but my chest hurt a little bit. We stood up to find that Hayley and Rebekah looked murderous. Davina was standing there confidently. Freya was helping me gain my strength. Katie and Sophie were standing there confidently. All I saw was red. I ran over to the counter, grabbed Katie's shirt, and pulled her over the counter. I just felt angry that they tried to kill me twice now. "You aren't so damn confident now are you?"

"Niklaus Mikaelson deserves to die just like you do," She said with a small glare. She knew what to say to get under my skin. "What are you going to do?" You girls are just wolves and vampires. You may have two witches with you, but there are five of us."

"No, there is one of you," Agnus said. "You broke a cardinal rule. You have to face the consequences. It's blood on their hands, not ours." She glared at the rest of us. "Watch your back," she warned and left with the other witches.

"Your own coven doesn't want you. You lost your family over a pathetic vampire," Hayley said. "Isobelle, let us get rid of her. You don't need to trigger your curse yet," she calmly said against me.

I looked at her. "I want to finish hearing what she has to say about Niklaus," I said to Hayley and turned my attention back to Katie. "Finish what you were going to say about him."

"Niklaus doesn't deserve love." I smacked her because of her statement and her straight stupidity. "Nor do you. You are a filthy bitch that should die." I smacked her again. She seriously is the stupid person that I have ever met.

"Seriously?" Davina asked. "I would have shut my trap. Then again, it's rumored around the witch gossip circle that she is the most stupid and weakest one of them all."

"The little hybrid baby is the worst excuse of a child in the world." I punched Katie in the face, and I put my knee on her throat. "You deserve to die like Thomas Labonair, Carmen Labonair, Nora Labonair, and Marcus Labonair did."

I just lost it. You can say what you want to say about me, but don't ever say anything about the people that I love - especially Niklaus and Elisa. I don't know what I did, but I guess I triggered my werewolf curse because all I felt was a lot of pain.

AN: I know that this fight is very small, but I have another idea that I want the witches to be involved in. It's way bigger than this.


I was screaming my lungs out when I felt someone put their arms around me. "Bella, we have to go into the woods."

"NIKLAUS!" I screamed out.

"Bella, we have to get into the woods," Hayley said. "We need to get you into the woods. You killed Katie. You are triggering the curse."

I cried out because I felt my bones ripping apart. "I want Nik," I screamed out.

"Bella, I know that you are in pain, but I'm going to pick you up," Hayley said. She lifted me up with ease. "I'm just going to quickly take you to the woods away from civilization. The girls will go get Niklaus." Hayley started to run to the woods. She put me down on the ground. "Bella, don't fight it. I know the pain is unbearable, but you can't fight it. Fighting the pain will only cause worse pain."

I just stared at the trees when I felt the sudden urge to take off my clothes. I tore off my jacket, shoes, socks, and shirt. I just transforming into a wolf in my bra and jeans. "Nik," I cried out his name.

"I know, Bella. I know that you need him. The girls are getting him, but right now, I need you to focus on changing."

I felt my spine snap, and I screamed. I took off my bra, jeans, and underwear. My vision started to get blurry as I saw a familiar figure pop into my line of vision. "Nik," I cried out. He immediately took off his jacket and t-shirt. "What are you doing?" I gasped out. I felt my fingers and toes break, and I immediately got on all fours.

"I'm going to run right next to you. I'm going to change with you. I know that it's painful, but please don't fight it," he said with vulnerability. "Please don't fight it." He turned to Hayley. "I'm taking off my pants," he warned her.

"I won't stare," she deadpanned.

I felt my face grow, and I cried more. This experience has to be the most painful experience that I have ever had. Niklaus was going through the same things as me, but he was taking his change a lot easier. Lucky Dog. The rest of my bones broke, and I fell to the ground with my eyes shut. I opened me eyes a few moments later to something licking my head. I opened my eyes to see a wolf with Niklaus' color hair standing there. Why was he licking my head? I stood up, and I saw that I was a tad shorter than Niklaus. What the hell?

I looked down to see that I had white wolf paws. I shook my head and stared at my paws. Niklaus whined and sat down. I looked up at him and walked over. I put my head on his chest, and I listened to his heartbeat to help keep me calm. "Bella?" I turned my head to see that the rest of the family joined - even Elijah and Elisa.

"Dog," Elisa said. I slowly walked over to the family and sat down a couple feet away, so they know that I'm not going to threaten her. "Dog," Elisa said again. She got down from Elijah's arms and walked over to me. Everyone was scared, and I saw that Niklaus stood next to me like he was going to strike in case something happened with Elisa. "Pretty," Elisa said and gently patted my white fur.

As a sign that I won't harm Elisa, I laid down on the wooded ground. "She knows who we are," Hayley said with a smile. "She's going to be okay," Hayley said with a wide smile. "She is going to do great."

I gave Elisa a wolfy grin when she walked over to me. She laughed. "Silly dog," she said. For shits and giggles, I got onto my back. She immediately ran her hands on my stomach.

"Elisa, come here," Hayley said. "The wolves need to run." Elisa stood up from her crouch and walked over to Hayley. "Niklaus and Bella, go run."

Niklaus and I looked at each other and ran off deeper into the woods. This run feels so exhilarating. I feel alive while running in my wolf form. I saw that Niklaus stopped ahead of me, and when I caught up with him, I stopped. He laid down on the ground looking at me. I slowly walked over to him, and I laid down next him. I gently laid my head on his back. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.


I woke up again to the feeling of someone laying next to me in my bed. "What the hell?" I asked loudly.

"It's okay, little wolf," Niklaus said.

I turned to face him. "What happened?"

"You killed Katie," he whispered and moved some hair out of my face. "You triggered your wolf curse."

I took his hand away from my hair and kissed it. "I know that part. I remember running in the woods with you. I remember falling asleep on your back. How did I get here?"

"You changed back to your human form while you were sleeping. I brought you back home and put you in bed. I had Hayley change you into pajamas because I didn't want to look at you naked without you conscious."

I giggled. "Thank you."

"You did really good, little wolf. You handled everything perfectly," he said and kissed my head. "How are you feeling?"

"Dirty actually. I'm going to take a shower. Do you need to take one?" I asked and stood out of bed.

"I took one while Hayley was changing you. You were so worn out that you didn't even wake up. You have slept the whole day. I'll make you something small to eat while you are in the shower." He said and stood up. I got a good look at what he was wearing. He was just wearing a pair of pajama pants. No shirt. No nothing. "You like what you see?" He smirked.

"Oh hush, you," I said and walked into the bathroom. I took off my clothes and hopped in.

Tonight is the night. Tonight is the night that I tell Niklaus that I'm ready to take the next step in our mating process.
