Dear readers,

In the last chapter, I noticed that when I said that Damon left bodies on the volturi's doorstep I didn't say who said it, it was Carlisle. Sorry.

Arabella P.O.V.

Three days later

6pm

According to Alice, Victoria's army will arrive in 2 weeks. And I'm nervous for some reason I feel like we're not all going to make it. Someone is going to die. Right now I am sitting on the couch in the boarding house wearing grey tracksuit bottoms that may or may not belong to Stefan and a white vest-top and listening to Bloodstream by Stateless drinking a glass of Bourbon. What? I'm over 150 years old.

The training of the hybrids has begun and more and being made each day. While we grow stronger Victoria's army grows larger. I'm tired of all the thinking and all the planning of what's going to happen and what we're going to do, who's going to be where. It's too much. I have a way to end all the pain all I have to do is end Victoria.

I think I might've inhaled you

I can feel you behind my eyes

You've gotten into my bloodstream

I can feel you flowing in me

The spaces in between

Two minds and all the places they have been

The spaces in between

I try to put my finger on it

I try to put my finger on it

I think I might've inhaled you

I can feel you behind my eyes

You've gotten into my bloodstream

I can feel you flowing in me

I think I might've inhaled you

I can feel you behind my eyes

You've gotten into my bloodstream

I can feel you floating in me

I sing along with the song whilst lying my head back and resting my drink aside. I close my eyes and wait for the next song contemplating my next move. I know I'll never get far enough, not with Alice around, she'll be watching.

"Don't do it" I hear someone say and I guess I wasn't paying enough attention to hear that Klaus had shown up beside me.

"Don't do what Nik?" I ask innocently whilst lifting my head and opening my eyes. Klaus takes a seat next to me and I hand him a glass the bottle of bourbon.

"Don't give me the innocent act Arabella. I know you, you want to go to the Cold Ones yourself and take them out yourself. Well guess what that's not happening even if I have to tie you up and shove you down stairs in a room of Vervain and I'm sure everyone will keep you there" Damn him.

"How did you know that was what I was thinking?"

"We have gone through this many times, I know you more than your own brothers, more than anyone on this earth." We sit in silence for a while and then he speaks again "So after this pathetic little quarrel with the Cold Bitch what are you going to do?" He says with a curious look.

"Well I was thinking of returning to England maybe visit the north again." I say with a smirk.

"Ah yes that was a lovely time" Klaus

"You killed 50 people in the span of 2 weeks"

"As I said lovely. And as I remember you weren't such a saint yourself, little miss 'drop you off a bridge in the middle of rush hour!"

"That ass had it coming, I warned him I would kill him not to touch me and he didn't let go"

"And the other 13 people?"

"I was bored and that guy pissed me off!" I say laughing along with Klaus.

"I know what you did to the boy; he's no longer moping around and depressing the blonde who was depressing everyone else with his magic powers"

"Edward deserves a happy life, a life that I can't give him. So if compelling him to find someone how can love him more than I ever did then so be it. And really Nik magic powers?"

He shrugs my question off "Enough with the depressing stuff we've had years of that. Tell me dear one, what is this 'relationship' between you and my little brother" Klaus says whilst shifting his weight to turn to me his left leg folded onto the couch.

"I don't do what you're talking about" I say in a sing- song voice.

"Liar, you always wanted to be a Mikaelson, don't deny it I know it's true." He tease me.

"I don't know what we are all I know is that whatever it is... I don't want to stop" I say dropping my head in shame.

"That is so adorable" Klaus says smirking. I punch Klaus in the shoulder and then lay my head back again waiting for the next song. "What is with this depressing mood you are in?"

"It's nothing Nik"

"Tell me" he says softly

I turn my face to him with my vision clouding over with tears spilling out of my eyes I look into his and say "I love him"

"Edward?" he asks

"Kol" I correct him.

"What?" I hear a voice behind me ask and I spin to see Kol standing in the doorway. I sit there in shock he just heard me tell his brother that I'm in love with him. This sucks.

"Well you two have a love to talk about apparently, I'm just going to go" Klaus says and runs out.

"Coward" I whisper and look over to Kol who is now standing in front to the small roaring fire. "So you obviously know how I feel"

"I don't want to be a replacement Arie" Kol says stunning me

"You're not a replacement Kol. If I wanted to be with Edward I would be but I'm not. Instead I compelled him because my heart no longer belongs to him. You Kol Mikaelson are all I need, want and hopefully have in life." I say looking into his eyes but when he doesn't answer I walk away.

I get the first step of the stair case then I feel someone wrap their hand around my wrist and spin me. I look into Kols eyes with tears spilling down my face. Kol pulls me closer to him my face inches away and he leans in and kisses away a falling tear.

"Do you really think I'm stupid too let you go, my brother would dagger me again, probably with the help of my siblings and your brothers would most likely dump me in the bottom of the Ocean. Then there's the face that I am completely and 100% in love with you. I was just surprised that you love me too I mean I have killed a lot of people Arie and I enjoyed it but since I met you, I have regretted killing everyone turning all those innocent people in nothing but a corpse in the ground. You make me want to be a better man and I will never let you g-" I silence his rambling with my lips. Damn that guy has a way with words.

When the kiss end I look into his eyes and see them filled with so much emotion. I might not be Jasper but I can tell what they are: Joy, love and guilt. I'm guessing the guilt is for the people he has killed "Hey, You're not the only person that has killed, I mightn't have killed as many people as you but I have killed a lot."

"What does that mean for us then?"

"It means we are perfect for each other" I say

"I love you Arie"

"I love you too Kol" I reply and he captures my lips with his and we head upstairs to my room. In a big house with only the two of us in it our actions aren't very innocent. All I know is that I'm in love with Kol and he is in love with me and our night was filled with pure passion.
