A/N: So, I've been thinking about Mikael a lot and I really love the actor that played him, but not Mikael himself. We're just going to play pretend that Klaus took him out on his travels. I know I'm ready for him to come back and things to get started with the Cullens, but we need some romance. Don't you think?

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

Chapter 11

Bella pov:

The next few days after the battle was slightly stress filled. Damon was in tough love mode and Jasper was in Major mode. I just really need a break from them hovering over me. Rebekah has been a god send because she would sometimes literally fight them away to hang out. We would go shopping, -well, she would shop, and I would stop by the bookstore- we would talk about our pasts and have a girl's afternoon. I can see Rebekah as a big sister because she gives me good advice. Rebekah helped me realize Edward was completely wrong for me and that he was only obsessive about my silent mind and blood. That point was proven during one of our shopping trips.

**FLASHBACK**

Rebekah had found a pair of jean shorts she thought would look good on me and wanted me to try it on. Rebekah pretty much honed into my style and would choose accordingly, so I didn't put up much of a fight. They were a dark blue with little rips and tears looking well worn and were extremely comfortable. A little shorter than what I'm used to though.

"Well? Come let me see." Rebekah asked from outside the changing room. I step out and look at my feet not loving the attention. "They look great. Let me see the back." I turn around and she startled me by growling lowly. "Why that little!"

"What?" I ask shocked turning in the mirror to see what she was looking at. "I don't see anything."

"Give me your hand." I comply and she moves my hand to skin on the back of my thigh just below my cheek. The skin there was rigid and colder than the rest and I gasped recognizing it for what it was.

"He bit me." I said with no emotion but feeling betrayed.

"Do you not remember this happening?" She inquired. I think about it trying to come to figure when this could have happened.

"One night I had a nightmare of my time with James and when I woke the next morning, I was really tired and sore. I thought it was just the nightmare and my broken leg. I was still healing at the time." I said with realization.

"We are going to make him pay. That I can promise you, Bella."

**FLASHBACK ENDS**

Damon and Jasper were so mad that they ended up having to clear some trees in the woods. When they finally came back, my shield training got a little more intense. Jasper figured out that during the battle I split my shield between the enemies and collapsed it inwardly crushing them to dust. Damon puts some of his blood in my coffee in the mornings, so I have a steady supply to keep my shield up.

Damon introduced Jasper to those in council that know and had them on the look out for the Cullens. To say they were shocked to find another vampire breed existed was an understatement, but Jasper was his usual charming self and won them over. Sheriff Forbes informed her deputies enough to notify her in case they are spotted.

I was in the backyard training with Jasper and Damon working on collapsing my shield on moving targets. Damon threw a giant boulder at Jasper and I pushed my shield out and was able to block it from hitting Jasper but unable to shred it.

"Bella you need to focus on where the target is heading and catch it then. Don't go to the target, let it come to you. Try again." Jasper instructs as Damon grabs the boulder and tries again. After a few more tries I eventually got it down to perfection. I see Jasper say something to Damon in a voice to ow for me to hear and he nods. Next thing I know Damon threw three boulders in a row at Jasper in rapid succession and I was able to shred all three at the same time.

"Did you see that?! Oh my god! That was awesome!" I ran and hugged Jasper and then Damon. Upon releasing Damon, I heard a slow clap behind me.

I spin around and Klaus is standing there looking handsome. Handsome? Where did that come from? "I'm impressed. You've been working hard little swan."

I look at my feet embarrassed from his praise and mutter out a "thank you."

"No need to be embarrassed. You looked like a mighty Valkyrie. Care to join me for the evening?" He asks as I blush even more at his comment. Me? A Valkyrie? I think not.

"Sure, just give me a moment to shower and change." I tell him then run off to do just that. After my shower I come down to find Klaus, Jasper, and Damon talking in the front room.

Klaus looks to me at the sound of my approach and I swore I heard him say, "I was thinking I could show you my home. I will be waking the rest of my siblings today and I would like you to meet them."

"Klaus should she really be there when they wake?" Damon asks.

"She will be safe. Not to worry." Klaus responds and holds out his hand for me.

I take his hand without hesitation and when our skin touches, I feel a sense of rightness and safety. "I would love to meet the rest of your family."

"Rebekah is there now. They should wake in about an hour and a half, so we should leave now." I just nod and follow him out with a quick goodbye to Damon and Jasper.

After a short drive, we pull up to a very large mansion. "It's beautiful Klaus." I say in awe of his home while stepping out of the car.

Klaus loops his arm through mine and escorts me in, "Just wait, love. I heard a little something from Rebekah and I know you will be excited to see." The inside is even more fabulous than the outside. There are two grand staircases on either side and a piano. "The ballroom." He informs me but continues to pull me through showing me the different rooms in the house. The kitchen was amazing. I wonder if he would let me cook in there. Klaus stops in front of a mahogany door. "I thought you might like this room. Feel free to come anytime you like. You are always welcome. Go on I'm going to check in with Rebekah." He walks off and leaves me standing in front of the door.

I step inside to see a magnificent library. Thousands of books lining the walls and little window seat, a desk, a couple of chairs, and a couch. I walk around just taking it all in and reverently touching the spines. I spot a first edition of Wuthering Heights and take a seat in the window and get lost in the words. I was only a couple of pages in when I feel someone watching me. I look up to se it's Klaus and smile brightly at him.

"Enjoying yourself?" He asks with a smirk.

"Yes. I don't even have the words. Thank you." I tell him honestly.

"My siblings will be waking up soon and I thought you might like to come sit with me." I just nod and follow him to a room where Rebekah and three coffins are waiting.

"Hello Bella. Are you ready to meet my brothers?" She asks.

"Well if they are anything like you, I'm sure we will get along fine."

"It's Kol you need to watch for. He thinking he is god's gift to women." Rebekah jokes.

"Well have you not seen me, sister?" An unknown voice says. "Niklaus if you think bringing me a cute little snack would curb my anger, you are sadly mistaken." I turn to see a guy with brown hair and brown eyes in a simple dark gray button-down shirt with a black vest on sitting up out of one of the coffins. "Long time brother."

"Kol she is not a snack and she will be treated with respect." Klaus growls out. Kol turns his gaze to me and then two things happen suddenly. The two men in the other coffins shoot up, Klaus and Rebekah move to stand in front of me and are slightly growling at Kol.

"Niklaus what is this?" I look over Klaus's shoulder to see a man in a tux staring at me inquisitively. He calmly walks over and holds his hand out to me, "Elijah Mikaelson and who might you be?"

I move to step around Klaus to shake his hand, but Klaus holds me back. "Isabella Swan, but I prefer to be called Bella. I'm Klaus and Rebekah's friend."

"Niklaus does not have friends." A different man wearing some seriously old clothes said sarcastically. "Why is this mortal wearing that necklace?"

"The mortal is right here. You could just ask me." I say exasperatedly.

"Pray tell then, little one." Kol said. I look up to Klaus and he just nods.

"Klaus placed me under your protection. I have cold ones after me." I tell them simply.

"Cold ones?" Elijah questions. "What about Mikael?"

"Mikael is dead. I killed him during my travels. We are free brothers." Klaus states.

"Now what could you have possibly done to have cold ones after you?" Kol asks excitedly.

"I dated one in the past and he killed someone else's mate then abandoned me."

"Elijah do you remember Carlisle Cullen from our time in Italy?" Klaus inquires.

"Cullen? As in Edward 'the mind rapist' Cullen?" Kol asks before Elijah can respond.

"You know Edward?" I ask.

"Copper top, thinks he's better than everybody, drinks animals? Is he still a virgin?" Kol jokes.

"No, he's not, but that's him alright." I respond.

"I'm in. Any chance to mess with that piece of work." He tells me in a happy voice.

After fully explaining my situation to his family and formally meeting them, Klaus pulls me into a different room while Rebekah and Elijah help the other two get accustomed to the new time period. The new room is an art studio with beautiful paintings everywhere. I walk around admiring the artwork and Klaus walks up beside me and takes my hand. I look down at our joined hands then to him and smile. "Isabella I was hoping to speak with you about something." I normally don't like my full name, but when he says it, I just melt.

"Is something the matter?" I ask worriedly.

"Not at all. I wanted to tell you that during my travels I realized that I felt a pull towards you. I wish to try something. Would you care to see my wolf?"

A little strange request, but I am curious. "Okay." Klaus starts to take off his shirt and I turn around blushing. I hear him grunting and his bones breaking. I can tell he's in pain, but it's over quickly. I feel a soft wet nudge against the back of my leg and turn around to see a sandy blonde wolf. I find myself getting lost in his bright yellow eyes. "You're so beautiful." I whisper. Klaus is just staring back at me and has barely moved. I tentatively reach out and run my fingers through his silky fur. He sighs in contentment and leans to rub his head against my arm. This just feels right. I feel like there is a rope tying me to this amazing creature. Suddenly he shifts back and he's very naked. I blush again and cover my eyes.

"You look lovely when you blush like that, love." Klaus said. "You can look now." I remove my hand and Klaus is fully dressed looking at me with a soft expression.

"What?" I ask shyly.

"You're beautiful." I just look at my feet not knowing what to say. "My wolf recognized you as my mate." My eyes instantly snap to his shocked. "I don't want to push you for anything you are not yet ready for, but I wanted to confirm it and I wanted you to know." He says honestly.

"What does this mean?" I'm his mate? The Original hybrid is my mate? I mean I can't deny I'm seriously attracted to him, but my mate. I don't even know where to go from here.

"Do not fret, love. I just want you to be happy however you accept me, and I will protect you with my life." He says honestly. Klaus takes a step towards me and cups my cheek with his hand which I automatically relax into. "So beautiful."

A/N: I had some trouble with this chapter, but hey let's hear from Klaus about this little development. Also random thought, I had a weird dream last night how would you guys feel about a Buffy the Vampire slayer and Twilight cross over with a Bella/Jasper pairing? As always thanks for reading and please review.
