A/N: Sorry it's been a while. Both of my parents are on bed rest and I have a four year old brother. You do the math. I haven't forgotten about you guys it just might take time, but I did promise to post at least once a week. Also I hated my first time around with this chapter so I re-wrote it. Let's get this show on the road!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Twilight or the Vampire Diaries each belong to their respective parties. I'm just playing with them.


Chapter 6

Klaus pov:

Today has certainly been interesting. I fixed my hybrid problem and discovered quite a rare gem. Bella Swan, a girl impervious to compulsion and has an impossible scar on her wrist. That most intriguing thing about her is the pull I felt to her. I want to know more about her and feel the need to keep her safe. The fact that she has s cold one after her angers me and I do intend to do something about it. I just do not understand why I want to help. We are outside the hospital where Elena is making her donation sitting on a bench when I turn to her, "Bella is short for Isabella I presume?"

"That would be me," she replies.

"Care to tell me how exactly you were involved with cold ones?" I inquire.

"I dated one." Bella states simply. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but that certainly was not it.

"Why on earth would you do that? Cold ones can be very manipulative and controlling."

"I think I'm starting to see that. Well at least when it comes to my ex and his sister." She tells me.

"Tell me about them." I order.

"His name is E-Ed," I see her struggling to say the name and unconsciously reach out and place my hand over hers. Bella just looks down at my hand then takes a deep breath. "His name is Edward Cullen." Now I know why she is alive. A bunch of cold ones pretending to be human. I met Carlisle Cullen briefly during one of my trips to Italy. He was a strange young vampire to say the least, what with his view on preserving human life, but to each their own.

"I'm guessing Carlisle created a companion for his self after all."

"You know Carlisle?" Bella asks in a shocked tone.

"I met him in Italy. Who all is with him now?"

"Edward was the first one Carlisle changed. He was dying of the Spanish Influenza when it happened. Then he changed his wife Esme and Rosalie and Emmett over the years. Eventually Alice and Jasper joined them, so it's just the seven of them." One name certainly piqued my interest.

"Jasper Whitlock?" I ask.

"According to Damon, yes Jasper Whitlock. Why does everybody know Jasper? Damon knows him from when he was human and now you." She grumbles.

I just chuckle, "I'm pretty sure I know him for different reasons than Damon, but that is not my story to tell. Do you have a problem with the good Major?"

"No. Jasper and I never really got to know on another since he still struggles with the animal diet. I wish I could have gotten to know him better though. He always seemed on the outside looking in." She said in a sad voice.

"So how did you get this lovely little scar?"

"I was out with the family while they were playing baseball, when three nomads approached. James, Victoria, and Laurent. James thought I would be his ultimate challenge, to get past a coven of seven to the human they protected." She informed me. That wasn't why it was the ultimate challenge. The challenge would be to get to something protected by the Major. Fool. "Alice and Jasper ran me to Phoenix to get away, but it didn't help. James had convinced me he had my mother, so I gave Jasper and Alice the slip and went to go meet him. From there I found out it was trick. He never had my mother and James started to torture me. He bit me just as everyone showed up. While the others killed James, Edward sucked out the venom therefore preventing my change."

"I'm guessing this Victoria was James' mate?" I assumed.

"Yes, and now she is after me. Mate for mate and all that nonsense."

"One thing I can tell you is you are not that boy's mate. If you were, he would not have been able to leave you." I tell her honestly.

"His family leaving hurt just as much as him leaving, so I guess that makes sense."

"What led to their departure?"

"A stupid paper cut of all things. Alice just had to through me a birthday party I didn't want, and I get a paper cut in a room full of vampires. I know it's not Jasper's fault that he attacked me. He had to deal with his blood lust on top of five others, since Carlisle really doesn't count. My blood is especially appealing to Edward, so that probably didn't help Jasper at all. To make matters worse Edward shoved me into a table of glass which cut me even more making thing so much harder." Then it looked like a light bulb went off in her mind. "Alice should have seen me get the paper cut when she decided to wrap that present! She knew I didn't want the party, but she did it anyway! She wanted this to happen!" Bella shouts.

"Seen?" I questioned.

"Alice has visions depending on people's decisions, so it stands to reason she knew what would happen." Bella sighed clearly frustrated.

"A seer and an empath. Anyone else with special abilities I should know about?" I ask. I knew the cold one seer could not see me due to my wolf nature. It's a part of the whole natural enemy's thing, so Bella would be safer with me.

"Edward can read minds, but not mine. Other than that no." She informs me. I can easily keep the telepath out of my head no problem. He would only see what I allow him too.

"And after the party incident they all left you alone?"

"Yes. I didn't even get to say goodbye to the rest of the family. They just left. Edward said he was tired of pretending to be something he wasn't and how I'm not good for him. How he didn't want me." She whispered looking down as a single tear rolls down her face. Bella sounded so utterly broken when she spoke that last sentence.

"The only person who can say you are not good enough is you." I tell her as I lift her face to look at me with my finger under her chin. "I'll help you with your cold one troubles if you promise me one thing."

"What?"

"Never shed a tear over someone who is not worth your time. From what I can tell, you are worth it." I say seriously.

Bella just let's out a sarcastic chuckle, "You know, Jasper said that exact same thing to me once."

"The Major is a smart man and I've always admired that." That gave me an idea, "Would you be unsettled to see him again? Just him and no one else."

"No. It will give me the chance to tell him I don't blame him for the accident. I'm sure he is beating himself up for it." She tells me honestly.

"Well let's give him a call, shall we? I need information on this Victoria, and he has it. Do not say a word." I say as I pull out my phone and dial the Major placing it on speaker.

The phone only rings once and then I hear his southern draw, "Klaus Mikaelson. What can I do for you today?"

"You better be alone in order to say my name." I growl out.

"Of course, I am. I'm not an idiot. Now I know you're not calling for a friendly chit chat, so what's up?" Straight to the point.

"You happen to have information I need, but I will only accept that information in person. I need you to come to Mystic Falls, Virginia. Come alone and once you get here, I'm pretty sure you will be able to figure it out. Just follow the scent." I order.

"Anything to get out of here. I just found out my girl has been cheating on me for the last twenty years with my brother, so I'm good to leave as soon as possible." Bella just has a shocked expression as she raises her hand to her mouth in a silent gasp. I reach over and place my hand on her knee in a show of comfort. "I can run there and meet you in about two hours."

"Sounds good mate. See you soon." I quickly hang up the phone and look at Bella. She looks about to burst. "No tears, Isabella."

"Poor Jasper! How could they do that to him?" She shouts as I hear Damon walking up to us.

"Damon! How good of you to arrive. I was just having a very interesting conversation with young Bella here. Care to join us?" I ask with a smirk firmly planted on my face.

"I most certainly will not join you. Isabella get your ass over here; we are going home. I don't know what you did, but this is not what I meant when I said meet new people." He orders.

"Well I do believe she has earned your brother his freedom and your doppelganger's safety. All it cost her was to tell me story and give me her loyalty." I inform Damon.

He just pinches the bridge of his nose and looks away. "She's being hunted, and I doubt you would protect her Klaus."

I turn to Bella and pull out a necklace I never thought I would use and put it on her and say, "Isabella Swan, I offer you protection under the Mikaelson family. If someone that means you harm is in the vicinity this necklace will alert all the Mikaelsons that are currently undaggered. Around the time of our beginning, a witch made each Original a spelled necklace to help with protection of people in our company who cannot defend their selves. Never take this off and I will always be able to find you in times of need. Also, most supernatural will recognize the Mikaelson crest, so make sure to keep it visible at all times." Damon is standing there shocked at my actions, but how else will he trust my honor in this situation.

"Thank you, Klaus," Bella whispers shyly.

"Well shit," Damon says. "She still needs to come home with me Klaus. You have bigger problems to deal with in order to protect her."

"Like?" I question.

"Does the name Mikael ring a bell? Katherine is on her way to wake him as we speak." The second Damon speaks his name, I pull out my phone requesting Rebekah's presence.

When Rebekah joins us, she instantly sees the necklace on Bella and turns to me, "Nik why is this human wearing that necklace?"

"I would think it obvious. I have placed her under our protection." I reply simply. I turn to address all three and say "Mikael has the means to kill me, but what most do not know is he has the means to kill all vampires. I need to start making more hybrids, and yes Bella must go with you for now. Rebekah, I need you to stay here to help with her protection. I'm sure Damon will give you the specifics later. Damon before I go, I need a to have a word with you. Bella you will be safe that I promise. I will notify Jasper and he will meet you at your home." I nod to Damon to have him follow me out of Bella's hearing range, "You do realize that boy is going to come back for her, correct?"

"She's his singer of course he's coming back. I left a little message with her father warning him away, but we both know that won't stop him when the time comes. I called her father asking him to let me know if they show up to give time to prepare. What's this about Jasper?" He asks.

"I've known the Major during his time as a cold one and he has information on this Victoria character. He knows better than to leave a mate alive and I'm bringing him here to help remedy that situation. He will be here in about two hours and I will have him up to date on the details of my departure. Having him here will also be good for Bella's protection. They don't call him the God of War for nothing. He can match any original vampire my family aside of course." I inform him.

"Why are you willing to help in the first place?" He inquires.

"I'm not sure really, just watch her. I'll be back as soon as possible." I take off without so much as a goodbye and call Jasper.

"Change of plans I'm guessing?" he answers right away.

"Continue on to Mystic Falls. I will not be there, but you will be briefed on the situation. You will know who you are being assigned to protect. I know you are a man of honor and I expect not a hair out of place. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir. When do I expect you back?"

"As soon as I can. I have a feeling you are going to want to stick around anyways. I'll be seeing you." I hang up, get my donated blood, get in my car and leave. Time to make an army.
