CHAPTER 24
At Bella's place,
"What's going on with you and Elijah" asked Caroline.
"Come again" said Bella.
"He couldn't stop staring at you" said Caroline.
"Nothing is going on" said Bella.
"Yet" said Caroline.
"Listen, I like him. And I checked, he is my soul mate. But I'm not going to force him to fall in love with me etc. If it has to happen, it will happen. And just because he is my mate doesn't mean I'll be in a relationship with him. I am not going to let the supposed legends to make my decisions' for me" said Bella.
"Wow, he's your mate. But I agree with you. You shouldn't be with him just because some legends say so. It needs to be natural and not forced." said Caroline
"It's not just that. Numerous women have been a part of his life, Aya, Celeste etc. I've told you about them and then doppelgängers, and he has always chosen his family above them and left those girls broken, despite their devotion. Well, the Petrova's deserved it, they were nothing but whores. I don't want him to leave his family for me, but if I am with him, then I want him to consider me his family. His vow of Always and Forever should be applicable to me too." Said Bella.
"Okay, enough Philosophy and Psychology. Night" said Caroline.
"Nightie Night" said Bella.
The next day, Kol and Rebekah joined Caroline and Bella for breakfast and High School Training.
"You're not going to work Bella?" asked Caroline, "you didn't even wake me up for training today. You okay?"
"We can take a day or two off" said Bella.
"What training?" asked Kol
"We go for a run and then, I train her, you know vampire ninja sorts" said Bella.
"And, Darling, you didn't invite me?" asked Kol, feigning hurt.
"Drama runs in this family. Join us as long as you don't annoy us" said Bella
"Alright, as I explained high school is a battleground. The kids may seem nice but they are mean. Rebekah, I think you'll enjoy cheerleading and as you desire to be Queen Bee, you would want to be Head Cheerleader. And since I got into Columbia not only with good grades and portfolio but also on a Cheerleading Scholarship, I can train you" said Caroline.
"Oh! That's lovely. Thank you so much" said Rebekah.
"You don't need to be unnecessarily mean, but you need to be cunning too. High school is a pain in the ass. Use your words and not your fists. You too Kol" said Bella.
"Alright, Darling, your wish is my command" said Kol, which caused Bella to roll her eyes.
"Anyway, Kol you can join a sport, maybe Football etc. but you will not use compulsion to head the team or show off your vampire skills. You need to fit in. No feeding and no turning anybody. Don't interrupt. Secondly, you have studied every kind of witchcraft known, not only that you've always been interested in the progress the world makes, so I think if you study, you can graduate as the Valedictorian. Any questions?" said Bella.
"What's fb and all that you mentioned yesterday?" asked Rebekah.
"Caroline will handle that. I think I'll leave for work. I don't want to deal with all that. I'll make the calls etc. and get your admissions finalised. Good Day" said Bella.
"Hey! You can't leave me to deal with this stuff" said Caroline,
"I can and I am" said Bella before teleporting herself to work, in order to escape a determined Caroline.
"Okay! Let's get you acquainted with tech world" sighed Caroline.
After eight hours of delving into technology, the three vampires, were lying on the sofas, tired.
"Kol, go to the kitchen, there's a tap in the corner, open it, pour blood in three glasses and a jug and get them. I'll order Pizzas" said Caroline.
As Kol got the blood, Caroline placed the order and then, the three toasted to new life. They continued to chit- chat and exchange stories, soon their pizzas arrived and they carried on.
As the Mikaelson siblings were leaving, Bella arrived.
"Everything's done, just go with Caroline register yourself and Cheers, Good Night. And Kol, if you're still interested in training join us at 4 a.m." said Bella.
"Of course, darling" said Kol.
