BPOV

I was standing in my and Kol's room looking at myself in the floor length mirror. Now, I am not a conceded person, but damn I look good. Along with my black satin dress that hugged my body so well, I had on my favorite black rose drop earrings and matching black diamond cuff bracelet, but my shoes were my favorite black Christian Louboutin with a silver diamond cuff that went around my ankle. I was a bad, bad bitch.

"You look breathtaking sweetheart. I don't know how I'm going to be able to keep my hands off of you tonight." Kol said, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Easy. I'm still mad at you for not telling me about Ester, so you will not be anywhere near me tonight, besides the dance." I say to him while looking into his eyes through the mirror.

"Come on love. I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say. When we all woke up, we were fighting with Klaus and she came out of nowhere." He said to me. Pleading with me to understand.

"Kol, your mother HATES me. It would have been nice to know she was here so that I could at least prepare myself for the torment that she has always given me. You know that woman thinks you should have married Blair instead."

"And I still do, but I will deal with that later. Kol, the guest are arriving. Please come downstairs and greet them while your wife finished getting ready." Ester said while walking out.

"God, I hate that woman!" I tell Kol. He simply shakes his head and kisses me softly and leaves the room. After a few more minutes, I follow him out.

I walk down the grand staircase looking around for Kol, when I notice Elena walk in with a Salvatore in each arm. I shake my head in disgust. I will never understand the appeal of the doppelgänger.

"Do you enjoy having both Salvatore's worship at your alter, Elena? I mean you do realize how this will all end right?" I say grabbing a glass of champagne.

"What's wrong Isabella? Getting jealous? Trust me, there is enough of me to go around. All you have to do is name the time and place and I will show you things that Kol never could." Damon says while taking my glass from me. Oh, breaking this man will be so much fun.

I step up to him till our bodies a flush with each other. I run my finger down him jaw and whisper into his ear," Oh sweetie, trust me when I say that you will never add up to half of what Kol can do to me. Besides that, you could never keep up."

His face flushes a little.

"Oh and just a reminder. Kol hates it when men touch what is his." I smirk as he looks behind himself to see a rather pissed off Kol..

I walk over to him. Rebekah is standing beside him with a grin that would put the damn cat from Alice in Wonderland to shame.

"Are you trying to get someone killed tonight? I am already twitching to knock his head off for giving you and my sister vervain, that little display just made matters worse." He tells me throw clenched teeth.

"Oh calm yourself down. I was just having fun." I say slyly

"I've always wondered what it was about the Petrova whores that makes everyone go into a hissy fit." Rebekah said with a scowl on her face.

I laughed a little and raised my glass to her when I smelt something I thought I would never smell again.

"Son of a bitch and his little pixie whore too!"

"What's the matter sister?" Elijah came up to us out of nowhere.

"Oh you know. Nothing. Just my ex-boyfriend walking in with his sister and brother-in-law while I'm at a ball with my husband and his family. No biggie." I tell them looking around for a way to kill them without anyone noticing.

"Great! Do I need to get my bat now or shall I wait awhile." Kol asked looking right at Edward.

"Leave them to me. I have an idea" I tell them with a slow smile on my face as I walk over towards them. Jasper was the first to notice me and then he looked behind me at Bekah and smiled. Oh this just got so much better.

"What in the good fuck are you two doing here? I don't mind Jasper being here but did the baseball bat to your sparkly head do some fucking brain damage?" I say to them.

"Bella, language. Besides we came to bring you back. Edward is your mate, not this Kol guy. Not come along and we can leave before anyone notices." Alice said trying to grab my arm. Did she just correct me for cussing? I'm like ten times her age.

Before I could respond, Elijah and the rest of the family started towards the staircase. I pulled my arm out of her grip and excused myself to take my place beside Kol.

"Thank you everyone for joining us this evening. It is customary, when my family gets together to have a dance. Tonight, we will be doing the century old waltz. Please everyone, grab a partner and meet us in the ballroom." Elijah tells everyone.

Kol looks at me, bows at the waist and kisses the back of my hand.

"Will you do me the honor Mi Amor?" Kol asked.

"It would be a pleasure, but don't think you are off the hook just yet." I tell him while taking his hand, he laughs and walks me to the ballroom.

As the music starts and everyone is coupled up, I take a look around. Klaus is dancing with Caroline with a smile on his face I haven't seen in a very long time. I look over at Rebekah and couldn't help but smile. Her and Jasper where dancing like they were never apart. He didn't look as pained as I have always seen him. He looks lighter, happy for once. I look up at Kol and just get lost in his beautiful brown eyes. I truly have missed him. How could I ever even think about leaving him for someone else? How could I be complete without him? Sure, he can fly off the handle every once and awhile and knock someone's head off with a bat, but that is why I love him.

As we switched partners, I ended up in Edwards arms.

"We need to talk." He says to me as he pulls me off the a deserted hallway. He pushed me up against a wall, trapping me there, or so I let him think.

"Bella love. Please come back with me. I love you and I know you still love me. If you come back with me now, I will forget everything. "He says while lovingly touching my cheek.

I look behind him and see a very mad Kol and an equally mad Nik.

"Ok Edward. I will go with you, but first can I have a kiss?" I ask looking innocently at him throw my lashes. I hear Kol tell Nik to go get me, Bekah needs him for something.

With a smile on his face, he leans in close and says "Anything for you love." and kisses me. Our lips meet and it takes everything in me to not vomit. His lips were so cold and unyielding. I just had to wait a few more second and I would be saved.

"I think you need to get the hell away from my sister before I do it for you." Nik says, showing his hybrid face. Edward just stand still, while I just smile at him.
