A\N:
Dear readers, some of you expressed an opinion that I should move the story to M-rated ones. Maybe in a chapter or two I will but right now I don't see the real need to. But thank you very much for your opinions!
Sorry for the wait and enjoy the next chapter. Don't forget to review!
Yours,

Chapter 10
Bloody good ol' times.
From the outside the Manor seemed magnificent as always but with the sensitive vampire hearing Kol and Juliet could hear the smashing and breaking of furniture, glass, works of art on their way in. The couple exchanged a look.
Inside the Original's home looked like it just had an untimely redecoration. It was an over-all mass caused by three forces much stronger then any hurricane and the names of thee were Klaus, Elijah and Finn.
Juliet and Kol hurried to the source of thunderous booming.
"Seems like half of the first floor is destroyed!" Juliet exclaimed as they stepped into the leaving room.
"And the bastards didn't even think to invite me to the party!" A wicked smile graced Kol's features.
Juliet rolled her eyes as pointedly as she could which drew a chuckle from the youngest Original. As the Seer was about to proceed and announce their arrival for the three older brothers were so much in their brotherly quarrel that they failed to notice the couple, Kol suddenly caught her elbow and drew her to his body with vampire speed. The sharp piece of metal flew throw the spot where Juliet was standing just a second prior. Her breath hitched as Juliet's body was locked with Kol's, her face to his chest.
"And here I thought you'd have foreseen something like this." He pulled her chin up so he could see her eyes.
"Not funny…" Juliet's face turned into an annoyed grimace with her full lips pursed. "…at all!"
Her sulking only made Kol smirk and tighten his grip without a chance for freedom.
"Go. Have fun…" Juliet finally said with an I-give-up look. "I know you want to."
The Original grinned devilishly and bringing her head with his hand closer to his planted a sloppy kiss and in a gush of a wind that made the young vampire's hair tangle slightly joined into a heated fight of the Michelson Family men.
"Just like the old times, huh?" A voice behind Juliet uttered, declaring the arrival of the only daughter of said Family.
"Yeah…" The brunette breathed out softly. "Just like the old times."
As Juliet turned to look at the Blonde, she saw exactly what she was feeling herself painted in the eyes of the other woman. The sense of recognition and a long lost familiarity settled around the female vampires as they watched transfixed as the Original men beat it all out of each other destroying the beautifully restored manor on the way, and feeling with the fibers of their bodies that the Family…the real Family was together at last.
"You know, I was waiting when he would finally do it…" It was apparent that the words were spoken with some difficulty on Rebeckah's part, she wasn't strong in proclaiming her emotions. "And I must say I was surprised that it was Elijah who turned you in the end."
Juliet turned from the second story window from where she was observing the training fight Klaus, Kol and Elijah organized for themselves spontaneously that afternoon. It has been a month since her transition was concluded and a little more than three weeks since she with the help of her maker and her lover disposed of the last Seer that was to come since her death.
"Why?" She smiled politely.
Rebeckah looked accurately to detect a hint of a smirk or false pretense but saw non, she decided on a change of subject instead:
"To be honest I missed having a companion other than my brothers…a female companion that I wouldn't be afraid to break…"
The corners of Juliet's lips went up slightly at the truth the Original disclosed to her so unnaturally.
"I find this companionship pleasant as well." She answered, taking a sit next to the Blonde vampire on a velvet creamy yellow sofa with finest golden decorations on the fine texture.
There was an alien pause in the air and when Rebeckah was about to flee from the awkwardness Juliet's voice stopped her:
"You are afraid that you'd be alone forever, you start feeling being at your brother's side became a golden cage to you…"
"You saw into my future?" It wasn't an accusation more like curiosity mixed with a hint of surprise though Juliet expected that it was a mare act of politeness for she was sure the Original knew the answer before her question was asked.
"I see into everybody's future." Juliet said calmly. "I won't tell you a lot, there were only glimpses. Not soon but there will be time when you will have to choose between Nicklaus and another man…for this man will stir feelings in you. Something you haven't felt before."
Rebeckah inwardly smiled at the romance that the Seer suggested.
"But be careful for this decision will be not less than fatal."
The Original, always tough with pouting lips, only nodded with a stone face and readjusted her gorgeous pale beige dress:
"Thank you, Juliet. Now I'm more than a little hungry! Would you like to have someone to eat from the nearest village while the boys are playing?"
The Seer stood gracefully feeling her new fangs starting to burn from the sudden mention of blood.
"Absolutely." She exclaimed eagerly.
Rebeckah chuckled good-naturally at the craving of a baby vampire and smirked, making her way to the door. Taking the door's knob in her hand she turned to the other woman, speaking with a sense of finality:
"Let this conversation stay in this room."
"Good to see you've finally finished…whatever that was." Rebeckah said indifferently seemed to be interested in her newly-painted toe nails solely as she was waiting for the four to show up in her room on the second floor (untouched by the downstairs' mayhem).
"A simple disagreement." Elijah proposed, putting the new jacket on.
"Good ol' fight!" Kol provided excitedly slamming on the leather couch, where Juliet was sitting with her legs crossed on the glass table in front of her with a magazine in her hands, and letting his head carelessly fall on her lap and the rest of his body cover the reminder of the couch.
"Unnecessary exchange that didn't prove anything." Finn came up to the window, dusting his pants.
"You're right brother. Actually it wasn't meant to prove anything." Klaus came in the last. "We just beat you up for being a bloody traitor."
"If I may, he doesn't consider himself a traitor." Juliet stated tranquilly still fully engulfed in the slim book in her hands.
In silence everyone looked at Juliet, Kol playfully started kicking the magazine out of her hands for which she slapped his lightly.
"Fine." Elijah started , crossing his hands. "Yes, Finn helped Mother with a spell, that we know. But let's focus on the ultimate threat here, not…a subordinate."
Finn scowled unintentionally.
"That's one good idea, Elijah." Juliet said finally putting the paper away or more likely letting Kol take a hold of it. "The most important thing now is to reverse the spell."
"If you're so smart, little Julie…" Klaus lured sarcastically. "Tell us why didn't you stop our Mother before she even had time to bind us together?"
"Because, dear half-blood, as you know, the dead witches turned their back on me when I started helping you and did everything to cloud my sight. And your mother happens to be the Original witch and channels a lot and I mean it A LOT of power from them." The Seer spat in return. "But don't worry, I'm not helping you in particular….more like everyone but you. Plus I would rather let some werewolf eat my arm then be tied to you."
"That can be arranged." Klaus roared.
Kol growled and in a second stood straight in front of his brother:
"You stop it right here, brother. I may not be able to kill you but trust me, I can make you feel a lot of pain."
Rebeckah and Elijah exchanged a look, the younger sibling wordlessly asking if they should interfere. Elijah shook his head negative almost undetectably and Rebeckah gained her previous position watching silently.
Klaus wasn't intimidated. He just wasn't. Maybe because he wasn't used to being intimidated. Maybe because he didn't believe that anyone in the room really could kill him. But a simple logic told him not to press on his younger brother's girlfriend or whoever they considered themselves to be if only for a reason that his brother was known for his temper, ruthlessness and brutal behavior especially in regard to something he considered his. And Kol definitely considered Juliet his and only his. For eternity. Knowing that there was a more urgent matter at hand Klaus put his hands up in surrender putting his infamous smug grin on the way and took a step back.
"Oh would you stop already!" Rebeckah huffed while Kol was back on his seat again.
"So what are you suggesting?" Elijah asked looking at Juliet.
"I suggest you find me the witch that your mother was channeling for this spell and I'll get everything else ready."
"I know just the witch." Klaus said, fishing his phone out of the pocket. "Kol, brother, do mind a little trip? Denver, perhaps? I heard it's very pleasant there this time of year."
