[Two weeks later]

Bella steered clear of parties for the last two weeks. Her STD test was clean, and she wasn't pregnant, so she was feeling better. They couldn't figure out who it was because the DNA they got wasn't on file. So, she was going to keep her head up and continue forward. She didn't need this to define who she was. She wasn't going to crumple and fall apart. She just didn't go out after dark anymore, and stayed in the dorm.

"Bella," Alaric said, when class dismissed, and he motioned for her to come see him.

Bella shouldered her bag after putting her laptop in it, and walked over to his desk. "What's up?"

"How have you been? I know…I haven't really talked to you much since that night." Alaric said.

"I'm fine. I've processed it, and I am moving on." She smiled. "I promise you I'm okay. Thank you for worrying about me."

Alaric nodded. "Okay, well if you need anything, just tell me, okay?"

Bella nodded. "Thank you, Ric, I appreciate that." She said and then she left the class and went towards the library to check on a couple books that she was waiting on for her History class with Elijah. Once there, she was given the book she had on hold, and sat down at a table and opened it up along with her laptop and started typing up some notes from the book she was using on her Antiquity paper. She didn't realize how late it had gotten, and the only reason she realized it was late, was because her laptop was screaming at her that it needed to be charged.

"Damnit." She cursed and then she shut her laptop after saving her notes, and then she turned the book in, and walked outside. It was dark out and she frowned. She hated that she got so consumed in her notes to miss the time. She had to walk across the entire campus to get to her dorm. She took a deep breath, and started walking, but she was high alert.

She saw Kol walking, and that somewhat made her feel better, so she crossed over to the other sidewalk. "Kol!" She called.

Kol stopped and looked over at her. "Oh, Emmett's sister." He said. "Haven't seen you around in a while. You don't come to the parties anymore."

"Uh, yeah. I don't typically go out after dark anymore."

"Because of the assault?" Kol asked, his voice gentle with her.

"Yeah." Bella admitted. "Oh, your brother kept your shirt I was wearing for evidence…I'm sorry."

Kol shook his head. "It's fine. Old shirt. Are you walking to your dorm?"

"Yeah. I just wanted to let you know about your shirt since I haven't seen you at all." Bella said and waved. "Have a good night."

Kol hesitated, "I'll walk you." He could tell that she was nervous, and anyone would be nervous after being assaulted on the campus.

"No worries. I'll be fine. Tell your brother I said hi, and thank you." She said and jogged off a little way, putting some distance between them.

Kol stared after her, confused, but sighed. He started towards the frat house, when there was an ear-splitting scream.

Bella wasn't too far off when she heard the scream too, and both her and Kol ran towards the scream. Bella was closer and she rounded the corner, an found a girl, her clothes disheveled, and she was sobbing. "Hey, hey. Shh. I'm not going to hurt you. My name is Bella." She said, going to the ground next to the girl.

"He…I…." The girl was sobbing.

Kol caught up, stopping and seeing the girl on the ground with Bella next to her. He pulled his phone out. "Are you okay?" He called over to her.

"I…" the girl couldn't speak, and then she hyperventilated, and passed out.

"Shit," Bella cursed.

"Klaus, a girl was just assaulted." Kol spoke quickly and then he was silent a moment. "Alright…okay." He hung up, and looked at Bella, wandering over. "Klaus is coming with Damon; they're calling campus security."

Bella looked at the girl's wallet. "April Young. She's a Freshman." Bella murmured. She frowned, laying April flat, and then moved her head close to her mouth. "She's not breathing." She said, and then positioned April carefully, checking for a pulse, and not getting one. She started compressions, counting carefully and then stopped, giving some breaths, before starting up compressions. Her dad was a doctor, so naturally all of them were taught CPR.

Kol ran a hand through his hair, and then his phone was ringing. "Hello?" He paused. "We're close to the library. She's unresponsive now. Bella is doing CPR right now." He said and then walked off a way, and saw the headlights of Klaus' police car, and waved. Klaus hit his lights and pulled up quickly, and him and Damon were getting out.

"How long?" Klaus asked quickly, as Damon called in for an ambulance.

"Two minutes," Kol said.

Klaus went to the ground next to April and Bella. "I can take over."

Bella shook her head, not breaking her count and leaned down, giving more breaths. She started compressions again. "She. Was. Assaulted." Bella said to the rhythm of her compressions.

Damon trotted over. "Ambulance is on it's way." He looked down at Bella doing CPR, and she was concentrated, not paying attention to anyone else around her.

"Five minutes." Kol murmured.

Bella wasn't giving up, continuing the CPR as the ambulance rolled up. EMT's moved quickly getting a gurney down and rolling it over.

The EMT was the same from two weeks ago. "I can take- "

"No time. Lift us." Bella said quickly, and leaned in and gave more breaths.

The EMT didn't hesitate. They slid April onto the gurney and Bella didn't pause, but straddled April, getting up on the gurney and they moved them both to the ambulance. Bella knew that if she let up on compressions then the blood flow would slow too much, and it could cause brain damage. The EMT started hooking up things, checking pulse as they started driving away.

Klaus looked at Kol. "What the fuck happened?"

"Uh, I ran into Bella, she was coming out of the library, I guess right after me. I spoke to her briefly, and she started jogging over towards her dorm, and then we both heard the scream. We both took off this way, and when I rounded the corner, Bella had already made it to her. The girl, April is her name, was hysterical, and crying really hard. Bella was trying to calm her down, and then she hyperventilated and passed out on Bella. She got her on the ground, and checked her ID, over there." Kol pointed to April's wallet. "Then she realized something was wrong, and Bella figured out that she wasn't breathing, and that there wasn't a pulse, and she immediately started CPR." He relayed the unfolding of events.

Klaus brushed a hand through his hair. "April was assaulted?"

"Bella said that she was. When I called you, that's all I know." Kol said, and looked around.

Damon stooped over a little way, and popped gloves on, recovering panties. "Damnit." He cursed, and stood up. "Klaus."

Klaus looked over. "It's happened again."

"Again?" Kol looked confused.

"Kol, go back to your dorm. We're going to tape off the scene, bring CSU in." Klaus said.

Kol shook his head. "No, I need to go to hospital. That girl- "

"I'll check on her." Klaus said. "Go to the dorm. I'll call you later."
Kol hesitated, but he obeyed his older brother, walking off towards his dorm.

"Get to the hospital." Damon told Klaus, and Klaus nodded and took the car, and headed to the hospital.

[McKinney General]

Bella was still doing compressions rolling into the hospital. They had tried to shock the heart into rhythm, but it didn't work. "Come on April." Bella murmured, and she was sweating now, her arms getting tired, but she fought the pain in her arms as she continued. A doctor approached. "What's going on?"

"Female, age 18, assaulted on Whitmore campus, has been unresponsive for 22 minutes." The EMT rattled off a bunch of other numbers, but Bella was focusing on April. She abandoned rescue breaths, remembering that only compressions were necessary until the pulse came back.

"Who's this?"

"Bella Cullen. Her father is Carlisle Cullen. He's a Doctor out in Mystic Falls." The EMT relayed. She remembered from last time with encountering Bella, that her dad was a doctor.

The doctor nodded. "Any epi pushed?"

"No. We tried defib but it wasn't successful." The EMT relayed, but they were all moving down the hall now, Bella was still holding compressions as the rolled down the hallway.

"25 minutes," a nurse called, and they stopped in a room, and a nurse hooked an IV up quickly. They pushed some medication, and then waited a moment. "Okay Bella, clear." She said, and Bella moved off of April, not touching as they shocked her. Nothing happened, and they upped it and hit it again. When nothing happened, Bella automatically started compressions again.

The Doctor looked at the nurse. "Go get cardiology. Something has to be wrong with the heart." He said and the nurse left quickly. "Bella, let me take over. "The doctor said, and Bella looked up at the doctor, and then nodded and then they waited a few compressions, and the doctor slid his hands over Bella's and then she slid hers out, and the doctor successfully took over compressions.

Another nurse grabbed Bella's arm. "Come on dear, let's get you out of here."

Bella nodded, walking out with the nurse, getting to the waiting room, her arms feeling the burn all at once and they were jelly. She looked up to Klaus walking into the waiting area. She looked at the nurse. "She was sexually assaulted. She's going to need uh…a kit done." She said and the nurse nodded, a sorry look in her eye. "I'm fine." She said, and the nurse left her.

Klaus looked at Bella. "Are you okay?" He wasn't sure.

"Um, you need my clothes for evidence. I was…doing compressions for 27 minutes total." She murmured.

"Okay, let's get you down to the precinct and-"

"The evidence can be contaminated worse." She said, just going through motions now.

Klaus nodded. "Okay. Nurse, can I get a private room please. And some scrubs." He said and the nurse nodded, and went to a closet and brought back some scrubs and handed it to Klaus. He nodded his thanks, and brought Bella into a side room, and he closed the door, and turned to Bella already pulling her shirt off. "Uh," he turned around.

Bella didn't care, she was just thinking about April, thinking about if she was okay. She pulled on the scrubs. "I'm dressed." She said, and looked at Klaus, clearly exhausted.

Klaus turned around, and nodded. He pulled gloves from his pocket, and pulled them on, and then found a clear bag that hospitals used to put a patient's clothes in, and dumped Bella's clothes in it. "Are you okay?" He asked her again.

"I'm fine. It's her…I want her to be okay. I don't know why her heart stopped." Bella ran a hand through her hair.

"We'll figure it out." Klaus said. "Did you see anything when you ran up?"

Bella shook her head. "No, it was dark, but she was screaming. I got to her first, and then Kol right after me. Whoever assaulted, did…what he did, and just took off. He probably heard me call out. I should have stayed quiet…I'm an idiot."

"No, you're not an idiot. You were trying to get to her in time." Klaus said. He wrote some things down. "Do you want me to call your brother to come get you?"

"No, I'm going to wait here. I want to be here for her. She needs someone." Bella said, her voice tight.

Klaus nodded, and then he opened the door. He walked out into the waiting room, finding the nurse from earlier. "Can I get a status on the assault victim please?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. The doctor called it two minutes ago. There was no activity after 39 minutes of compressions."

Klaus nodded. "Um. Okay. I'm going to need all her clothes, a rape kit done and sent to the lab."

Bella was behind Klaus. "She…she didn't make it?" her lip trembled.

Klaus moved towards Bella, catching her as her legs gave from under her. The nurse moved and grabbed a chair, pulling it over. He got her sitting in the chair.

"I should have…. I should have done something more." Bella said weakly.

"No, no, this isn't your fault." Klaus said, and looked at the nurse. "Do we know what caused the cardiac arrest?"

"I'm not sure. The Doctor is notifying the next of kin now." The nurse relayed. "I'm terribly sorry about your friend." She told Bella softly.

Bella nodded, just stunned that this happened. "She was so young…" she murmured and then she just leaned against Klaus, her head buried against his chest.

Klaus' arms came around her and he hugged her. "I'm sorry…" he murmured and looked at the nurse. "Thank you."

By the time Klaus got Bella back on campus, the police were already gone after combing the scene. He walked her back up to her room. "Are you going to be, okay? We have grief counselors available."

"Yeah. I'm just going to shower, and go to sleep. Let Kol know please." She murmured.

"I will. Get rest, love." Klaus said, nodding to her door. He watched her walk in and then sighed, leaving the building and headed back to the precinct.

Bella felt ready to collapse by the time she got out of the shower, and to her bed. She was alone in the dorm, which wasn't abnormal for a Friday night. She lay down, and fell asleep, exhaustion just rushing over her.

[1 Weeks later]

The news of April's death moved through the campus like a wildfire. Professors canceled some classes on Monday, so they could hold a memorial for April. It was so surreal, for someone so young to be gone from this world. April had a heart condition, and the event was too shocking for her heart to handle. It wouldn't matter how long Bella had performed CPR; April wasn't going to come back from that.

Security was increased, and police presence was on campus now. Klaus and Damon were partners and were rotating with Mason Lockwood, a detective at the same precent and Enzo St. John. Grief counselors were made available to everyone, if they felt like they needed to talk about what happened in a safe place.

People knew of Bella's attempted heroics, and many offered condolences to her, that she just didn't understand. Bella just wanted things to go to normal. This wasn't how she imagined her Freshman year would start off. But it was Friday night, and parties were in full swing. It had been a week since April's death, so it was almost forgotten by this point.

For once, Bella ventured out, feeling the numbness of just pity for April, eating away at her inside. She survived, and April had not. What made Bella special?

By midnight, Bella was blissfully drunk at the frat house her brothers lived at, and Emmett kept a closer eye on her, making sure that she wouldn't wander off alone again, especially with everything that had happened.

Bella, in her drunken state, decided a keg stand was going to be fun, and with the help of two other guys, Juniors named Jared Cameron and Sam Uley, she managed to do the keg stand, and lasted ten seconds, which was apparently pretty respectable for a girl, or so Jared explained. She walked back inside, wearing just shorts and her bikini top, her shoes were long gone somewhere. She was really drunk, and she ran into Emmett's hard body. "Oof." She sighed, and looked up, her vision a little blurry. "Hmm."

"Come on," Emmett coaxed, and half carried her upstairs to his room, to settle her. "You've drunk way too much." He muttered.

Bella giggled as they got to his room. She was blackout drunk status nearly, and so she just removed her shorts and flung them across the room.

"Come on Bells," Emmett sighed, and he went to pick up her shorts to get her to put them back on, but she was loosening her top on her bathing suit. He moved quick, but not quick enough before her top came off, and his arms were around her. This was the most awkward he had ever felt in his life.

Bella leaned up, her lips touching his, and it made him freeze, shocked by the action. Her hands wound up around his neck, and she kissed him again, her tongue brushing over his lips, which made him part his lips instinctively, and her tongue brushed his.

He could taste the alcohol on her tongue, which wasn't a bad thing, but the state she was in, was. "Bella, he moved his face away from hers." His voice was low. "Come on, you're drunk, let me get you a shirt and-"

Bella giggled again, still clearly not realizing what she's doing. She removed her bottoms, and was completely naked in front of Emmett now.

"Sweet jesus." Emmett muttered, trying to avert his gaze. This was his sister. "Bella please, let's just get you dressed."

"Nuh uh." Bella said, and moved towards him, and tripped on the air, like normal, and landed against him, his hands were against her bare skin, her breast pressed against him. Her mouth reached up to him again, and she kissed him again, and dove deeper, her mouth hungrily seeking something more. When she moaned, against his mouth, Emmett kissed her back slightly. His brain misfiring in several different directions at one time.

What was happening? His hands gripped at her hips, and he felt something stir inside him, rather than being repulsed. He had to stop this before she did something that went too far. "Bella," he murmured again.

Her hands dropped to his pants, sliding into the top of his waistband. "Hmm. I'm okay" she said, her eyes glazed over from the alcohol, and her words slurred.

"Bella, we can't be like this. I'm your brother." Emmett said, and moved away from her, taking a deep breath. He turned around to look at her, and she was falling on to the bed, giggling. "Jesus." He moved to his closet grabbing one of his shirts, and grabbed her shorts up again. "Come on," he moved to the bed and tried leaning her up, but she grabbed his shirt, and pulled him to her again, her mouth landing on his again, his hand moved, accidentally, to her breast as he steadied himself from falling over on her. Her breast was so round and plump, and he swallowed, closing his eyes, trying to think of everything possible that would make his erection go away in this moment. He moved his hand away quickly, and then leaned up, pulling the shirt over her head, carefully. She pouted, but he ignored her. Then he started pulling her shorts up, and she wiggled a little bit, then her hand stopped him, grabbing his hand and drawing it to her wet core, how turned on she was.

Emmett sucked in a breath, pulling his hand away. "Bella…" he murmured, and finished pulling her shorts up quickly.

She turned on the bed, snuggling into the blankets, and then her eyelids drifted shut, and then she was…snoring.

Emmett ran both of his hands through his hair, blowing out a breath. He decided on a cold shower to get some images out of his head, and to cool himself off. His heart was beating fast in his chest, and he wasn't sure what the hell had just happened.

After his shower, he returned to his room, and she was still sleeping soundly on the bed. He sighed, and then tossed his towel over the back off his desk chair. He moved her over in the bed, and she didn't stir too much. "You're going to be the death of me…"He muttered and wedged a pillow between them as he laid down. He was too tired to do much else, since it was two in the morning now. He closed his eyes, and drifted off into a slumber.

Emmett woke slightly to Bella curled against him, her head on his chest, her hand up under this shirt against his bare chest. He moved slightly, pulling her hand away, but she snuggled into him more. She whimpered a little and he stopped.

"Don't…"she muttered, her eyes still closed.

"Bella…" He murmured and glanced over at the clock; it was five in the morning. He tried shifting her some, but she clung to him. He sighed, laying his head on the pillow. He closed his eyes, trying to go back to sleep instead, hoping that would make morning come faster.

Bella shifted again, her hand dropping down his chest to his hip. She murmured something in her sleep, and she moaned. She was having a very sexy dream about Klaus Mikaelson, and her hand traveled down lower, and Emmett's eyes shot open. Her hand moved against his growing erection now.

"Jesus." He moved her hand away, and she pouted again. "Bella…" He murmured to her, and then he slid from beside her, and leaned over, shaking her gently. "Bella…please wake up." He whispered.

Bella groaned a little, rolling on her side. "Touch me…" she murmured in her sleep.

Emmett blinked. "She's sleep talking…" he sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. He wasn't going to sleep well at all. He got up out of the bed, and sat in his chair at his desk. He looked over at her as she moaned something and shifted in the sheets. He wondered if she slept talk all the time, and who was she dreaming about?

[Six hours later]

Bella woke up, moving around, feeling the heavy hit of the hangover and looked around. She was in Emmett's room. She was wearing Emmett's shirt, and just her shorts. She frowned. Did she get naked? She looked over and saw Emmett asleep at his desk. She got out of bed and walked over and lay a hand on his shoulder. "Em."

Emmett stirred, sitting up, and rubbing his eyes and looked up at Bella. "Are you awake?"

"Yeah. Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Just uh…are you okay?" Emmett reversed it on her.

Bella nodded. "I think so. I don't remember anything past the keg stand." She said, trying to remember. "I'm not wearing…my suit."

"Oh, you stripped when you got up here. I threw clothes on you." Emmett said quickly.

"Oh, thank you." Bella sighed. "My head is splitting open. Remind me not to drink that much ever again."

Emmett swallowed. "Yeah, Bells…"

"Hmm?"

"You don't remember anything?"

Bella looked back at Emmett. "What happened? Did I…do something?"

Emmett scratched his head. "Um, you were really drunk."

"Yeah, I gathered that from the size of my headache." She said.

"You…kissed me." Emmett admitted. He didn't want to keep that a secret. He stood now.

"I…kissed you…" Bella said, her brows furrowing together. "Why would I?"

"I don't know who you thought I was, or if you have a boyfriend, I'm not aware of, but it was very awkward, and I didn't know how else to handle the situation. I kept trying to talk to you, but you were…very persistent."

Bella shook her head, rubbing her hands over her face. "Em, I'm so sorry. I don't have a boyfriend. I don't even have romantic feeling for anyone, Jesus. I'm so sorry." She was embarrassed.

"It's okay, I mean…it's not the weirdest thing to happen to me, but it made my list," Emmett said with a nervous laugh. "I…kissed you back though…so."

"You did?"

"Yeah, my brain sort of melted itself, and I was just in shock. I definitely recovered though. You passed out though, and I took a shower and came back. I tried sleeping in bed, but you uh…are very handsy in your sleep, so…" He motioned to the chair. "I gave up on sleep and started reading for an exam, but then fell sleep I suppose." He explained.

Bella was mortified. "I'm literally so embarrassed right now. I don't think I'm normally like that." She sighed. "Let's just…uh, forget about this."

Emmett nodded. "Probably best."

"I'm gonna…go back to my dorm." She motioned to the door.

"Right, I'll see you later." Emmett said, and then let out a breath when she left. He had some very taboo dreams about his sister when he slept.

Bella left the frat house and started towards her dorm, and then ran into Alaric.

"Bella?" Alaric looked down at his watch.

"Ric. Uh, good morning."

"You're not wearing shoes." Alaric pointed out.

Bella looked down. "I'm not. I was at the frat house with my brother. The party last night. I crashed there since walking at night…"

Alaric nodded. "Yeah, I understand. I'll walk with you." He said. "How have you been? It's been a rough week."

They walked towards her dorm. "Uh, yeah, it's been rough. I'm trying to move past everything and just you know, try to live a normal college life." She cracked a smile.

They got to her dorm, and he walked her up to her room. It was Saturday morning, which meant that Elena was getting coffee with Bonnie, and Alice and Caroline were shopping. She punched in the code on the door. "Thank you for walking back with me."

Alaric nodded. "Of course."

"Do you want something to drink? We have some bottled water, soda." She offered. Her parents always taught her to be polite. "Oh, and I have my paper," she said gesturing to her desk.

Alaric walked into the dorm, and shut the door behind him. "Water is fine, and you know I gave you the extension on the paper."

Bella smiled, going over to the minifridge and grabbed a couple waters, and handed one to Alaric. "Well, I'm trying to stay focused."

Alaric took the bottle. "You work really hard. Hardest working freshman, I think I've met." He said with a chuckle.

Bella smiled and went over to her desk, her foot catching on the little shag carpet that Caroline brought. Alaric reached out and caught her, and steadied her, his hand on her hip. "Thank you, I'm really not that graceful." She looked at him, her cheeks were tinted with slight embarrassment.

Alaric nodded, releasing her. "It's not the first time you've tripped around me. I'm sort of used to it by now."

It wasn't wrong. Bella was extremely clumsy. Her phone dinged over on her desk. She forgot she left it here to charge last night and she grabbed it, looking at it.

[Detective Klaus:] Are you okay?"

Bella frowned. "Hmm."

"What?"

"Oh, it's just Detective Mikaelson." She muttered, and she sent him a text back.

[Bella:] I'm fine. What's up?

[Detective Klaus:] Another girl was assaulted last night.

Bella paled, her phone slipping from her hands and hitting the floor.

Alaric moved closer to her. "Bella?"

"Uh. Another girl was assaulted last night…" She murmured, looking at Alaric.

Alaric frowned. "I didn't know. I wasn't on campus last night…"

[Detective Klaus:] She lives in your building. I am going around questioning. Are you okay for some questions?

Her phone dinged with the next message, and Alaric picked it up, handing it to her. Bella took it, looking at the message.

[Bella:] Yeah. I'm in my dorm.

"I can't believe it's still happening. How did this happen with more police presence?" She was worried about all the other girls on campus now. The evidence wouldn't do any good if they can't get a DNA hit in any database.

"It's odd, and he's daring." Alaric said.

A few moments later, a knock sounded at the door.

Bella moved towards the door, opening it to Klaus. "Oh, that was fast."

"I was already here." Klaus said, and looked over at Alaric. "Ric."

"Klaus. What time did this happen?" Alaric asked, his brows furrowed together with concern.

Klaus sighed. "Around one. The times are erratic, so our increased patrols during specific times isn't working. Bella, did you hear or see anything around here last night?"

"I wasn't here. I was at the frat house, with Em. I crashed there." Bella murmured.

Klaus nodded, writing something down. "Do you know an Angela Weber?"

"No, I don't." Bella frowned. "She's in this building?"

Alaric's phone rang and he looked at it. "It's the Dean. Bella, I'll check on you later." He said and then he was gone.

Bella shook her head. "I don't understand why he's doing this. What possesses someone to continue doing this?"

"Because he's a sick individual." Klaus responded. "Are you okay though?"

"Yeah…I was just…I drank a lot, last night. My older brother kept me grounded so I wouldn't wander off into the night." Bella said and sighed, rubbing a hand over her face. She sighed moving across the floor, but tripped on the damned rug again, and fell against Klaus. His arms were strong, and his chest was hard as she hit it. "That is the second time…" she muttered. She looked up at Klaus, staring down at her. His eyes were so unusual, a swirl of blue and green.

Klaus could tell she wasn't wearing anything under her shirt, as she pressed against him from her trip. "Are you okay?" He was always asking her that.

"I uh, I'm sorry." Bella blushed. Some little memory came back to her, from her dream she thought about Klaus, and her cheeks reddened at the small image she got.

Klaus raised a brow. "You are flushed."

Bella moved, gathering herself, and straightening, taking a step back. "I uh…" She bit her lip, thinking.

Klaus watched her face, the subtle bite of her lip, and the small intake of breath she took when she looked up at him again. For some reason, he wanted to abandon all responsibility and just kiss her, but he refrained from that, and just swallowed. "I'm sorry that this is happening." He said, trying to break away from his own thoughts.

"I wish I could help more." Bella muttered. "I'm sorry."

"No need to be sorry, love. It's not your job to stop this guy, it's mine, and I'm failing." Klaus said, sounding a bit defeated.

Bella didn't know why she did, but she reached a hand up, stroking his cheek gently. "It's okay." She murmured. They stared at each other for a few long moments, and then he cleared his throat.

"Uh, I'm going to let you get back to…whatever it was before I intruded. If you hear of anything, just let me know." Klaus said, and then he let himself out.

Bella sighed, going and flopping down on her bed. She hated that all of this was happening. She stared up at the ceiling, just thinking about everything when there was another knock at the door. She got up, sighing, and went over and opened the door. Emmett was standing there. "Oh, hey."

"I just wanted to make sure you made it back okay. There is rumor going around about another girl getting assaulted." Emmett said, rubbing the back of his neck. He walked into her dorm and glanced around. It was open, not like in the frat house where he got his own room. "I don't think I've actually ever seen in the inside of your dorm…" he murmured.

Bella closed the door. "Yeah, I'm okay. I just talked to Detective Mikaelson, and Ric walked me back."

"Ric?"

"Oh, Professor Saltzman. He helped me the night I was assaulted." Bella relayed. She had never told him about being sexually assaulted.

Emmett nodded. "Oh. Okay. So, you're, okay?"

"Yeah." She looked at him, he was clearly, struggling with something. "Em…did you want to talk about anything?"

"I just…uh, you're not weirded out about last night, are you?"

"I don't remember it, so no, but I can tell that it's bothering you." Bella murmured.

Emmett rubbed his hands over his face. "Jesus, I shouldn't even be thinking like this."

"Like what?"

"You're my sister."

"Yeah…" Bella looked at him confused.

Emmett looked at her. He moved closer to her, and then he framed her face with his hands. "I'm so sorry." He murmured.

Bella blinked, still confused, and then his mouth moved over hers. She went still, shock registering at first, and then her eyes fluttered shut, and then she was kissing him back. What was she doing?

Emmett broke the kiss, resting his forehead against hers. "I don't know what's wrong with me…"he murmured.

"Em…"

"Last night, I honestly didn't think about this too much, but I slept, and I woke up, and I had all these dreams, and then feelings. I'm going to hell…" He breathed out.

Bella looked up into his eyes. "Em. What are you saying?"

"I should not be having these thoughts. You are my sister." He repeated himself.

"Em, we're not blood related." She murmured. "It's not like we- "

He kissed her again, and a muffled moan sounded from her, as his tongue dipped against hers. Her heart slammed in her chest, as arousal lifted in her, and she didn't know why. She had never looked at Emmett more than a brother. His hands went to her waist, and he pulled her to him. He pulled away again. "I have to…"

Bella blinked looking at him. He was struggling internally with what was happening. She did this to him. She may not have been conscious of it, but he was in pain because of her. "I'm sorry…" she murmured. "I didn't mean to."

"I know and…" he let out a shaky breath. "I should just walk away right now. Just forget about everything, but…I…can't get the image of you…laying naked on my bed out of head." He breathed.

"Em…" She murmured. "What do…what do you want to do?"

He laughed nervously. "I want so badly to throw you on your bed, and just…do things that we shouldn't do."

Bella nodded. "Okay. Is that what you're thinking about right now?"

"Yes." He blew out a breath. "I can't stop imaging it."

"Okay. And it's hurting you."

"I…we have grown up together. We're siblings for all intents and purposes."

Bella nodded, swallowing. "Yeah."

"What if I just…" He closed his eyes.

Bella reached up, calmly setting it on his cheek. "Do you want…to see me naked again?"

"Very much so." He felt like he should be repulsed to think about it.

Bella nodded. "I uh, can do that. Will it help?"

"I don't know." Emmett admitted.

Bella lifted his shirt over her head, and the cool of the air hit her breast. "Okay." She blushed, feeling embarrassed somewhat. She didn't know why she was doing this, but seeing Emmett so pained, she wanted to help him. "Shower?" She murmured.

He nodded, swallowing a little, feeling the growing in his pants, and followed her into the bathroom. She turned on the water. He watched her remove her shorts and climb into the shower. The water cascaded over her body. He took his clothes off, stepping into the shower. He wanted to reach out and touch her, but he was trying to just, bear the pain he was feeling.

Bella turned, looking at him. "You can…touch me if you want."

Emmett nodded, his hands going over the slickness of her skin, pulling her close and his mouth dipped to hers, and he could hear his heartbeat beating in his ears, as he tasted her again. His mouth went to her throat, and she sighed in pleasured relief. Her hands moved over his body, reaching between them, her hand stroking his extremely hard cock. He groaned, his hips pushing forward, into her hand.

"Em…" she murmured.

"Bella, we can't. We've gone too far already." He murmured.

Bella nodded, and kissed him again, pulling him closer, the length of his cock poking her belly, getting trapped between them. She opened her eyes to look at him. "Em…we can, try something."

"What?" He murmured.

She slid down, the water still falling around them, and she took him into her mouth. He hissed, the pleasure of her tongue meeting his hardened tip, driving him mad. Her tongue lapped over him, swirling and sucking slightly.

"Bella…" He murmured, enjoying the feel of her mouth around him, but he had to stop her. He moved her to a standing position, his mouth crushing to hers again, hunger boiling in him. His hand went between them, his fingers toying with her heat, her swollen clit slick with her juices and the water. She moaned against his mouth, and he drank it in, carefully driving her with his fingers. She was getting closer to her climax, he could tell, as she pushed her hips to his hand. Suddenly she was spilling over, orgasming hard, and her eyes shot open.

She blinked, looking around. She had fallen asleep on her bed. She felt the tingling between her legs, the tell-tale sign of arousal and she groaned. She just had a wet dream about her brother. She groaned, getting out of bed and going to her desk. She looked at her phone, receiving a message from Emmett.

[Em:] Sorry about last night. Already forgotten, and btw you did a ten second keg stand. Glorious ; )

Bella sighed. She decided on a shower, and moved to the bathroom, turning on the water, and got in. She let it run cold over her before she got back out, towel wrapped around her. She walked out into the room, using a second towel to towel dry her hair. It was 2pm now, and she felt like she hadn't accomplished much at all. A knock at the door, had her frowning, but she went to open it.

Alaric was standing there, and he blinked a few times. "Oh, well," he averted his gaze. "I uh, was bringing you a book." He held up a book.

"Oh thank you," she said, letting him into the dorm. She had forgotten she was in a towel, because she was distracted with Alaric actually being there.

"Uh, I figured you could appreciate the useful source for your project."

Bella nodded, taking the book and walked over towards her desk, and the stupid rug tripped her up again, and Alaric's reflexes were to catch her. Her towel shifted, loosening and falling between them to where she was now, very naked in Alaric's arms.

"Uh," Alaric cleared his throat. "I would release you, but I'm unsure…how you want to play this out." He admitted. If he released her, she would be fully exposed, at least all he could see is her backside.

Bella felt extremely embarrassed, and she was going to throw the rug out because it was always tripping her up. She was still reeling from her dream too, so her arousal was still fresh in her mind, and now that Alaric was there, his arms around her like this, his hands were nice against her skin. She leaned up, her mouth connecting with his.

Alaric was startled at first, but he kissed her back, his brain sort of short circuiting itself, as she moved against him, her hands went to his shirt, untucking it, and unbuttoning it. Her hands slid over his bare chest, and his hands moved over her body, groping her butt firmly with his hands. She moved with him towards her bed, and then she got onto the bed, breaking the kiss. She was now displayed on her bed, completely naked before him. He cleared his throat. "Uh," he was extremely aroused, Bella was certainly very attractive. "You're not thinking clearly, and I clearly am not either." He said, blowing out a breath.

Bella looked at his pants, seeing how the bulge of his cock strained against his pants. She thought about the night she was assaulted; she didn't get a say in anything. She wanted to be more than just the girl whose innocence was stolen from her. She didn't want Alaric, or Klaus, or Damon to look at her with pity anymore. She was fine, she was strong enough to handle what happened to her. "I'm sober Ric."

"I see that, but uh." He blew out a breath, his eyes raking over her body. "I'm a professor, if we get caught, this is very bad."

Bella nodded. "You're right." She frowned; she didn't think about the implications.

Alaric struggled internally for a bit on what he should do. He leaned down, kissing her softly at first, but then his hands moved up her body. He knew he was going to hell already, and he didn't want to stop.

Bella moaned as his hands moved over her body to her heated center, where she was already extremely turned on, and ready for him. "Take your pants off…" she breathed, and he did, dumping them in the floor and then took his shirt all the way off. He got into bed with her, their naked bodies brushing each other, and that sent little thrills through her.

"You're sure about this?" Alaric just had to ask one more time.

"Yes." She said, and then he positioned himself at her entrance after he got up, grabbing a condom from his wallet, rolling it on. He couldn't believe he was about to do this, but he did. He entered her slowly, watching her face and she moaned as he slid in. She shifted, her hips bucking up to his, pulling him in further, and then he started thrusting into her, and she moaned again, feeling something, she never felt before. An orgasm rippled through her, and she clung around him as he neared his ending. When he finished, he paused before pulling out of her, and then taking the condom off.

Bella's heart was hammering in her chest, hard as she started coming down off the adrenaline that was sex. She didn't realize it could feel like this. She had heard Caroline talk about sex before, but she always dismissed it. It was amazing, and Bella hated that she waited so long to actually do it.

Alaric started getting dressed. "I…" He looked at Bella. "You're truly amazing. I um…I should leave, and…"

"It's fine Ric." Bella said, sitting up, pulling the sheets over herself. "I'm not going to tell anyone, and it won't happen again." She offered him a smile.

Alaric nodded. "Okay." He pulled on his shoes. "Uh. I'll see you in class." He said and he ducked out of her dorm, cursing himself for allowing any of that to happen. He was a professor, and she was a student.

Bella got up, getting dressed and then just sat on her bed. She was a terrible person, she realized. Alaric was a professor, and she put him in a bad situation. She sighed, running her hands through her damp hair, before she got up and went to sit at her desk, opening the book that Alaric brought her.
