Hey everyone... I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long, I'm a bit crud with all that. I just haven't been in one of those moods where I could write, and I got my results on thursday, bearing in mind that I'm only in year ten and one of the results didn't please me as I thought I did good on it and I got a D. (disappointed).
Well, I'll stop babbling on and uh, let you read and maybe review? thanks :)
P.S. Belle's going to meet a special someone!
Chapter 12 – Belle's POV
I dashed to my room and into my bathroom and ran myself a shower. I locked the bathroom door and got undressed. I stepped into the shower and started washing my hair. I started to rub my pomegranate scented shampoo into my hair. I rinsed it out and repeated and then put some conditioner in. I washed myself with my body wash and then stood there and thought about what could happen tonight. I would meet Kol again. I would set eyes onto him and I would see love in his eyes. Or would I? Would he still fill the same way after all these years? I mean, he's had 100 years to think through all of this, opinions change. I would also see Klaus. Thinking his name sent fear and hatred through my blood. He took away Kol from me, he could of ended my there as well. Why didn't he? I always thought that if someone as cold hearted as Klaus could take his brother's life so easily from this world, then why not take mine as well? Questions with unknown answers span through my head making me dizzy. I slid down the wall in the shower and hugged my knees to myself. What was I going to do? Having the one I love the most, and the one I hated with a passion in the same room? Oh dear, this cannot end well.
I sat there for a while longer and finally dragged myself out the shower. I wrapped a shower round my head and my waist and brushed my teeth then went back into my room. I took my hair out of the towel and started brushing my long curls. I then dried it and started styling it. I put my hair in a half up, half down state. With the parts of my hair down in curls. I left two curls to go on either side of my face. I then started to apply little amount of make-up. Mascara and eye-liner with pink/red lipstick. I finished all this and then looked at the time. It was 6:00pm. Shit.
I quickly put my underwear on and stood into my dress. I looked in the mirror and saw that I still was not ready. I grabbed my necklace with the ring on and placed it around my neck. Perfect. I made sure my Lapis Lazuli bracelet was still in place and the anklet. The anklet was a back-up plan if my bracelet so happened to go missing. With my black high heels on I was ready.
I walked down the stairs where my brother's were waiting for me.
They were both in black suits. But Damon had a black waist coat underneath the jacket. Stefan's jacket was also done up whereas Damon's was not. They both wore black bow-ties. They both looked very presentable.
'Well.' I started. 'Don't both of you look dashing?' I giggled.
They both smiled. 'And you look beautiful this evening this evening sister.' Damon said.
'Yes, very beautiful. Men will fall to your feet with your beauty.' Stefan added. I laughed. 'Well, what's the plan?' I asked both of them.
'Steffie here is going to pick up Elena.' I scowled at the name. 'And I, am going to take you to the ball where you shall meet your prince.' I laugh at him as he describes me as Cinderella.
'It starts soon and I'd rather be early than late.'
'Okay, the carriage awaits.' He says bowing.
I hit him playfully on the arm as I made my way out to the car.
I silently thought to myself, this is it, by the end of the night I will know if he loves me still. What a night this will be.
*Arriving at the ball*
I got out the car and took a deep breath. I can do this. I said in my head over and over again. Damon saw my distress and knew what it was about.
'Hey Belle, it's going to be okay. He'll see you and still love you. When I saw him the other night he said how Klaus took him away from his Isabelle, his angel. I know he cares for you still.'
'He really said that?'
'Yes, he misses you dearly.'
'Okay.' I whispered and put my arm through Damon's. We walked up to the door and was greeted by a man. He welcomed us in and then went on to the couple behind us.
'Klaus's Hybrid.' Damon whispered in my ear.
'Right.' I said. We made our way to a group of people who looked at me in wonder. They seemed to already know Damon.
'Belle, here are some people I would like you to meet. This is Caroline.' He said pointing to a Bubbly blonde girl who was in a midnight blue dress. 'This is Bonnie.' He said nodding towards a slightly darker skinned girl. 'Matt.' A jock built sized guy with blonde hair and light blue eyes. 'Tyler.' A brown eyed guy. 'And Jeremy.' A brown haired guy with a Gilbert ring on his finger. Related to Elena, no doubt.
'Nice to meet you all.' I said smiling towards the group who seemed hesitant. 'My name is Isabelle.'
Caroline was first to speak up. 'Are you Damon's date?'
I looked at Damon and we cracked up laughing earning us a few confused stares from the group. I stopped laughing and replied. 'Umm, no. Damon isn't my date. That would be like, incest. He's my older brother.'
They all seemed rather confused but Bonnie stiffened.
'Your Damon and Stefan's sister? I didn't know they had a sister.'
'Yep, stuck with those to nincompoops.'
'Hey!' Damon said pouting.
'That must mean you're a vampire.'
I looked at Damon for an explanation.
'She's a witch.'
'Ohhhhhh.' I said in understanding but looked cautious at the group.
'Caroline's a vampire. Tyler's a hybrid, Jeremy, he's human, but died and now see's ghost and Matt, well, he seemed left out so we told him. He's human.'
'Wow. One strange bunch of friends.'
'Yep.' Damon agreed. 'Friends of Stefan and Elena.'
I yet again scowled at the name. 'The doppelganger bitch.' I mumbled under my breath but only Damon heard as he was right next to me and Caroline and Tyler didn't seem to be paying full attention.
I looked over to Bonnie who still seemed stiff with me. Probably because I'm a vampire and Damon's sister. I reached out my hand to her.
'Here.' I said. 'Know that you can trust me.' I knew she would read me to see if she could trust me. Bonnie hesitantly touched my hand and then jerked back a few seconds later. She looked at me with sorrow.
'How could Klaus do such a thing?' She whispered.
She must of saw when Klaus took Kol away from me. I gave a weak smile and then Bonnie hugged me what surprise me at first but then I returned the hug.
'I'm sorry.' She whispered in my ear.
'It's okay, not your fault.' I whispered back.
She released me from the hug and gave a half hearted smile, she knew it couldn't be un-done.
The rest of the guys seemed confused but kept quiet, knowing whatever it was is too painful to explain at this precise moment.
I saw Caroline look behind me and Damon and I turned around to see Stefan and Elena. Fun.
'Hey Elena!' Caroline said and gave Elena a hug.
'Hey Care.' Elena said back.
I paused for a minute to see what Elena was wearing. She was wearing a black and silver ball gown with black gloves that went up to her elbows. If she was someone I liked I would compliment her, but I don't like her so I kept quiet.
Waiters then started to go around the room and handed out glasses of white champagne. The Mikaelson's must be about to appear.
I started to panic. I was so close to seeing him, but how would he react. I felt Damon reach for my free hand and he gave it a reassuring squeeze. I looked up and him and mouthed thank you. He replied, you're welcome.
A hybrid at the foot of the grand stairs then tapped a spoon to his glass to grab everyone's attention. The sound died down and all eyes were on him.
'Ladies and Gentleman, I proudly present the Mikaelson family.'
He gestured his arm to the stairs where 4 men and 2 women stood.
The older of the 2 women began to speak.
'Thank you for joining in this get together. My name is Esther Mikaelson, and after many years my family and I are finally reunited together. My family consisting of myself, Elijah, Finn, Klaus, Kol and Rebekah. I hope you have a brilliant night.' She then raised her glass in the air.' People raised their glasses and toasted to the family. I also did but was only half paying attention. My eyes were fixed on the family. Finn was the one near the bottom of the stairs standing next to Rebekah who was in a green cocktail dress. Next was Elijah, whose face seemed awfully familiar. Behind him was Klaus, the Original Hybrid dick that took so much away from me. And at the top of the stairs was him. Kol. Seeing him brought so much happiness to me.
By the time I was looking at Kol, the chatter resumed, but I couldn't stop staring at him. As if he knew someone was staring at him, his gaze went towards me.
His eyes went wide with shock and happiness. And one thing more; love.
'Isabelle.' I heard him say. Well, I didn't hear him with all the noise, but I could see his mouth saying the words.
His siblings looked confusingly at him and their eyes turned to where he was looking. Their faces all held different features.
Finn and Rebekah's held confusion to who I was.
Elijah's of shock as if he knew me from somewhere.
And Klaus's who's held anger, shock and guilt? Why would he have that emotion? He was a cold hearted hybrid who only thought of himself.
'Isabelle.' Kol said again, in I guess reassurance.
'Kol.' I said and I saw he knew that I wasn't a figure of his imagination.
I handed my glass to Damon without breaking eye contact with Kol and I saw he did the same as he handed his to Elijah.
I started walking fast towards him and then started running at human pace to get to him as fast as I could without raising too much suspicion. I saw that his moves were mirrored and in no time our arms were wrapped around each other and our lips met. The kiss that held so much. Reassurance, joy, happiness, need and love.
We finally broke apart from the kiss at the same time.
'Kol, you're here.' I said with happy tears running down my face.
'Of course I'm here il mio angelo, (My angel)I love you. I would always come back for you, no matter what.' He replied with tears in his eyes as well.
'I love you too. Tu sei il mio mondo'. (You are my world)
These words were sealed with another kiss. A kiss of knowing that nothing was going to stop us being together again.
So, what did you think? Did you like their reunion? And where do you think Elijah knows Belle from?
This chapter made me go a bit soppy whilst writing it.
Thank you to the following who reviewed the last chappy :)
