DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE TWILIGHT OR TVD CHARACTERS.
Bella's POV
I look down at my kindle as I watched Tanya circle around mausoleum. "My dear Bella, I have been watching you from afar. I couldn't decide on my revenge after you somehow evaded death from wolf's venom, but as humans say 'All good things come to those that wait' or something like that." Tanya said.
She walked over to the crypt and pushed the top off, revealing Mikael. Tanya leaned down, but not to close. Elijah was leaning against the counter, gripping it tightly. "Hello, Mikael. I have heard so many things about you. Its like I practically know you already." Tanya said.
"That's funny. I don't recount knowing many whores in my lifetime." Mikael deadpanned. I had to pause the video, because I was laughing so hard. I had to steady myself against the counter to keep from falling over.
"At least Mikael is a good judge of character. Oh God, that is classic one. I remember that one."I said. My laughing ceased when I noticed my dad's look. Definitely not fun and games kind of mood. "Bella, this is serious. I see no humor in any of this. Mikael is running around Forks. Do you realize, besides us, that the Cullens is the only residing vampires in this town?" Elijah said.
I was about to ask why that was important until I remembered Mikael's particular diet. I already had the door opened, but was pulled back by Elijah. I tried to wiggle out his arms, but they were gridlocked. "What do you think you are doing, Bella?" Elijah said.
The coldness of his voice didn't faze me like it usually did. I had a one track mind and that was the Cullens, especially Edward. "I need to warn them! I won't let them get killed by my psychopathic grandfather!" I gritted that out.
"Well, that wasn't a very nice thing to say about family." A familiar voice said. That hint of British American tone rolling off my skin, leaving goosebumps.
Mikael appeared in front of the opened door. I was completely frozen to the spot to scared to make a sudden move.
"Mikael, lets not play childish games. They are beneath you." Elijah replied, remaining composed. I felt myself being pulled back behind Elijah.
"Elijah, you should learn your place. Your ego will get you in trouble." Mikael said. I leaned over to peek around my dad's body and saw Mikael pacing back and forth. My mind was racing and my heart is pounding ferociously. My breathing was picking up, but immediately calmed down when Elijah took hold of my hand.
"We both know what you want, Mikael and I'm not going to give it to you." Elijah said.
Mikael walked up to the door with his arms behind his back. Instinct, I pulled Elijah a step back with me. "Then, I will dagger you and torture Elena until she tell me where Niklaus is. Problem solved, my boy." Mikael said.
Why in the hell would he address as Elena? Weird. "Bella, this is not the time to over analyze things." I thought to myself. "Even if you dagger me, you will still be stuck in Forks. I had a witch cast a spell to keep you five miles radius of me." Elijah replied.
The smug smile slowly eased its way off Mikael face and burning rage filled his eyes. "Then, I will kill you!" Mikael said.
"Then, you will be forever be confined to the spot where you killed me. You will never be able to kill Niklaus. Simple as that, father." Elijah said. Silence took over at the moment. Both men standing their ground, not thinking about backing off. Waiting for each other to make the first move. All our heads snapped up, when we heard a car pull up the driveway.
Edward's scent entwined with the air. I looked back at Mikael and knew he could hear my heart. That smug smile is back. He started to back away steadily. "Elijah, if you want to play these childish games, I will definitely show you how low I can get." Mikael said. I moved from behind Elijah.
"Don't do this, Mikael. He has nothing to do with this!" I said. Edward was already walking up the drive. "EDWARD, RUN!" It was already too late. Edward was already in the grip of Mikael. The next second, Mikael was latched onto Edward's neck like a savage. Elijah grabbed onto my waist, keeping me from running out.
Edward lost consciousness as he slumped in Mikael's arms. He removed his mouth, chin dripping in blood. I could only look in horror. To rub salt to the wound, Mikael snapped Edward's neck. I was boiling with rage. I don't know what happened, but I lost control.
Elijah's POV
I hate having no control of a situation. I had to watch Edward get attacked. At least, he isn't dead. It could have gone a lot worst.
After that, I felt this major surge of power. The sky was darkening even more and started to rain. Bella slipped out of my arms and started to stumble out the house "BELLA, STOP!" I yelled. I went to leave too, I couldn't even step over the threshold. "BELLA, GET YOUR ASS IN THE HOUSE NOW!" I banged against the invisible barrier. She continued to walk. Lightning struck a tree and it split in half.
"AWWWWWW!" Mikael grabbed at his head as he fell to the ground. Bella had her back to me, but I could hear her mumbling in Latin.
"Holy shit!" I said. Its impossible! I mean its possible, but Bella is a vampire. Why didn't she show any witch capabilities when she was human. I watch as Mikael went flying across the air into Bella's truck. I look back over to Bella and see the rest of the Cullens hovering around Edward. When did they arrive? Life has definitely taken interesting turn. I felt the barrier weaken when Bella collapse to the ground. I saw Alice run over to Bella and propped her up. The barrier completely fail and I ran over to them. "Bella, are you okay?" I said. I tapped her face gently and she groaned.
"My head is killing me!" She said. I picked her up in my arms and motioned for the rest of them to follow me. I knew Mikael was gone. "Everyone to the living room." I said.
I sat Bella down on the recliner and Emmett laid Edward down on the couch. "Anyone want to explain themselves?" The girl with the blonde hair, Rosalie, spoke up first. She stood next to the couch tapping her foot with her arms crossed. My tolerance level has lowered significantly, so I'm trying to keep my emotions in check. "Edward was attacked by my father, Mikael." I said.
"Then, we need to go after him and kill him." Emmett said. All braun and no brains. God, I'm dealing with amateurs. He would have fit in perfectly with Klaus' little army.
"Then, you have a death wish. The originals can't be killed. He is the one you don't want to seek out if you know what is good for you." I said. I need a drink. I walk over to my liquor cabinet and pulled out my Bourbon tumblr.
"Plus, that is not really Mikael. My grandmother cursed him. She separated his conscience from his body. His conscience was subjected to watch his shell do these atrocious things." Bella said. Alice sat Bella up against the recliner. "Thanks." Bella said.
"Anytime, buddy." Alice said with a smile.
"There will not be an 'anytime', because we are taking Edward out of here and going home. Every since she came in our lives, it haven't been nothing but havoc." Rosalie said.
"Rosalie, you can speak for yourself, but not for the group. Bella is family to me and we don't abandon family, Rosalie." Alice fired back. I developed a whole new level of respect for Alice. They glared at each other.
"How about we stay on topic? Rosalie, we will be having a long discussion about manners when we get home." Esme said. She was continually rubbing Edward's head.
"So, what is your plan to deal with him?" Carlisle said. He stood behind Esme.
Before I could answer, Bella interrupted me. "Find the curse and combine Mikael and his conscience together. His conscience is not responsible for what happen." Bella said. She turned to me. "Dad, we need those black magic books, so we can find the curse and we need a witch who is most likely loyal to you. We don't need this to get back to Klaus." Bella said. The mention of the witch put a spark back in my memory about Bella. I will talk to her about this later on.
"I will call Lucy. She is experienced, so let me go up to the attic. We can start right away. My Latin is pretty good. Anyone else know Latin?" I asked before leaving out.
"I can be of assistance." Carlisle said. I nod my head and continued up the stairs.
I made it up to the attic and went to the corner to a trunk that held my mother's possessions. I picked it up and head on out.
I made it back out to the living to find that Rosalie and Emmett was gone. I didn't even question it, because I simply don't care. I place the trunk on the coffee table and dust went kaploom!
"How many books did Esther have?" Bella asked. I unfasten the trunk and opened the top.
"My mother was studying magic every since she was a little girl. She has quite a few, especially little black books." I said. Alice and Bella started to laugh. "What?" I asked.
"Nothing. Its just the phrase 'little black book' has different meaning in this time." Bella explained.
"Little black book contains people's ex boyfriends, girlfriends, or both." Alice said.
I just nod and searched through the pile. I put black magic in one pile and good in another. When I was done, I stepped out and called Lucy. She picked up on the third ring. "Hello, Elijah." Lucy said.
"Lucy, I require your assistance. I will book you flight to Port Angeles, Washington. It is very urgent and long term." I said.
"Okay, Elijah. Can I ask why?" She asked.
"Don't question me, Lucy! I pay you for your assistance, not your inquiry. See you in a day or two." I hung up without good-byes. "Bella, come here." I said.
Bella came in with the help of Alice. "Yeah, dad?" She asked.
"You can stay, Alice." Then, turn my attention to Bella. "I know when I make this call to Niklaus, he will ask questions. Should I tell him about Mikael and Esther?" I asked.
"He will ask why about the sudden interest. How will you explain that?" Bella asked.
"I will have to lie. I will have to say that the witches on the other side sent him back." I said.
"That will spook him, not that I care. Plus, you not really lying. Witches did save him from being stake in Phoenix. You adjusting the time line." Bella said. I could hear the bitterness in her voice.
"Let me handle that." I pull out my phone once again and dial Niklaus.
"Twice in one day, brother. I knew you would miss me." Niklaus said.
"Smug as ever, I see." Bella mumbled.
I smiled. "I wish you this was a casual call, but this is not. Niklaus, I need you to trust in what I'm about to say and you might need a drink for this." I said.
"Can we ever have a break? Its not like I'm trying to build an empire or anything." Niklaus said sarcastically.
"There is no point beating around the bush. Mikael is alive and kicking." I said.
"What did you say, mate?" Niklaus said.
I rolled my eyes. " I said..."
"I KNOW WHAT YOU SAID! I KILLED THE BUGGER IN MYSTIC FALLS. THE MAN IS LIKE COCKROACH! BLOOOOOODY HEELLLL!" Niklaus growled.
I looked over to see if Bella caught the Mystic Falls part, but she seem the same, so I continued "Don't worry, Nik. I have everything under control. He can't get to you as longs as I stay away from you. I had a witch bind him to me. He can't leave me outside a five mile radius. There is another reason I called." I said.
"THERE'S MORE? IT MUST BE BLOODY CHRISTMAS!" Niklaus ranted more.
"Klaus, can you shut the hell up? You are the only person that can grate my nerves!" I growled. "Mother, has done something stupid." I said.
"What hasn't she done? The bitch is crazy!" Niklaus said.
It is best just to spit it out. "Niklaus, Esther isn't your mother. Your mother died in child birth with you. Mikael is your real father and your mother was a werewolf. When Esther found out about the affair, she cursed our father." I said. I look over to Bella and she has a nervous look that mirrors mine. The line was completely silent I thought he hung up.
"How do you know this, Elijah?" Niklaus said.
"A witch I'm associated with is gifted with visions. That's how I knew Mikael was alive, besides the visit I had from him today. He was not a happy camper when I told him about the spell." I said.
"What kind of curse did Esther put on him?" Niklaus said.
"A curse that separates the conscience from the body. She wanted him to suffer and she used his children against him. When I saw the vision, it was disturbing to see him display emotions, especially love. He was happy that you were his child, Niklaus." I said.
"Mother was always vindictive little harlot. I guess harlot don't really apply to her now." Niklaus said.
His tone was deadpanned. "You don't believe me, do you?" I said
"The truth is... I don't. I believe that you want this sham of a man to be that loving, doting father. In my eyes, he will always be the father I grew up with." He said.
"Your mother's name is Elizabeth. She has the same eyes as you. I saw the love she had for you when she was watching Mikael hold you. Look, I don't have the time to convince you what is what. I need you to search Esther's black magic books that you have and search for the curse. Anything to do with separating conscience from the body. You know how strong he is. This is my only shot, Niklaus. Can you do that, Niklaus?" I said getting frustrated.
"I will have my witches look into the books and see. I will get back to you." Niklaus said.
Then, he hung up. "That went well." Bella said.
"Well, at least he isn't killing off towns." I said. Alice left to go check on Edward, so I helped Bella up and took her back to the living room. "I'm going to fix you something to eat and clean up the Lasagna." I said.
"Thanks, dad." Bella said. I kissed her forehead and left.
