The Other Mikaelson
Chapter 4
Hey guys! I'm back with the fourth chapter!
I hope you like the fourth instalment of The Other Mikaelson.
Please read and review, I really want to hear your thoughts.
"So where is she exactly?" Kol asked Davina as they walked down the stairs and into the compound courtyard.
"She's in Washington, a tiny little town in the middle of nowhere. Do any of you have any idea why she might be there? Have any of you even been there?" Davina addressed the rest of the family that were standing, waiting in the courtyard.
"None of us have never been anywhere near where the locator spell said she was." Elijah said, zipping up a leather luggage case.
"How are you guys feeling about it though?" Hayley looked at the three brothers and Rebekah who were crowded around the table in the courtyard, each of them holding a suitcase or bag of sorts.
"We don't even know whether she's alive yet, I find it better not to get my hopes up about things like this." Klau's face remained stoic as he spoke, although Hayley's expression showed that she had seen through his façade.
"I'm excited. I tend not to dwell on 'what could have been'. All I am hoping for is that she's happy, at least one of us deserves it." Rebekah shot a look at Elijah and Niklaus. The latter who was about to object to Rebekah's statement until Kol spoke up.
"So it's just me then that's hoping that there is a good food supply wherever she is?" Kol asked unabashed, a signature Kol Mikaelson smirk on his face. Davina rolled her eyes and hit Kol's shoulder.
"Kol, she's your sister, surely you are happier?" Astounded at Kol's attitude. Kol's attitude was bad at the worst of times, but Hayley was surprised at his attitude when it came to his sister.
"I was joking guys. Can we leave now?" Kol took a duffel bag from the table and moved towards the door.
"You heard the man." Freya followed suit and followed Kol out to the car.
Out of everybody, Freya was the most excited to find Isabella. She was the most excited as she never got the opportunity to meet her youngest sister.
The five remaining people in the room shared a look before following. They all trailed out of the old building and to Klau's Range Rover that was waiting on the side of the road. Elijah strapped hope into her child seat before they set out on their journey to Forks, Washington.
…
They were half way from New Orleans to Forks when the long journey started to abrade them. The journey would take at least two days, a day and a half at most if they drove with haste.
After a few hours, Kol had started to get bored, so he then decided it would be a prudent time to aren't aggravating everyone in the car. Davina, Kol and Rebekah were sitting on the back row; Freya, and Niklaus were sitting with hope in the middle row; and Hayley was riding shotgun with Elijah driving. They were splitting up the journey, Klaus drove the first eight hours and now Elijah was driving the next. Kol, being his usual self, decided it was a good idea to hack the Bluetooth speakers in the car using his phone, thus giving Elijah a fright whilst driving when heavy rock music started playing loudly. As a result, Davina had confiscated his phone. First, they stopped in Phoenix, just over six hours away from New Orleans. They stopped to refuel the car and so that Hayley could feed Hope. Next they stopped in _ because Kol was complaining he was 'hungry'.
After twenty one hours, they finally crossed the Washington border. Once that specific milestone had passed, there was a newfound tension in the car. Kol had stopped talking, much to the delight of Hayley who felt like she'd had a headache since they left Phoenix. Klaus continued to drive the car in silence, and Klaus tension mirrored Elijah's, Rebekah's and Kol's. Each of them was nervous to be finally meeting the sibling they had known all of those years ago. Finally, after what felt like hours, Rebekah spoke.
"Do you think she's happy where she is?"
The tension in the car decreased slightly as everyone contemplated their answer. But there was only one answer necessary, Elijah's.
"All Isabella always wanted to be was happy, surrounded by family. I have no doubt that she is happy."
With Nik's driving speed, it didn't take them long to cross the town border into Forks.
Kol furrowed his eyebrows as he took in his surroundings.
"Why on earth does she live here?" He muttered, if only to himself.
He continued, he was confused.
"I mean, what would an original vampire get from living here? It's just trees." Kol backed up his point by gesturing to the vast forests outside the window.
"Kol, we have more pressing issues. When Davina and Freya did the locator spell, it only gave us this town as a location, we need something more specific. We don't even know whether she still goes by her original surname." Elijah spoke, stopping the car outside of a row of small shops.
"Let's ask then." Hayley said, getting out of the car and approaching a woman that had come out of one of the shops.
"Hi, do you know where I can find someone called Bella?"
…
When Hayley climbed back into the SUV, they were waiting to hear what she had learnt from the woman.
"She said there is only one person called Bella in town, the chiefs daughter. Could that be her? She could have compelled him to think she was his daughter?"
Klaus smirked.
"Yes, that's her. That is definitely the Isabella I remember." Klaus laughed at his sister's antics and started the car once again, reversing out of the space and driving further into town.
"Did this lady happen to give you an address?" Klaus took his eyes from the road to look at Hayley.
She nodded, telling him the address that the woman had given her for the chiefs house.
The new Range Rover looked ridiculously out of place as it stopped in front of a run-down modest two story house.
"This is it?" Rebekah asked, not waiting for her answer before climbing out of the car, walking around the grass to avoid ruining her boots.
"I guess we're looking anyway." Hayley said, following suit and opening the car door, taking Hope out of her seat in the process.
A look of slight panic crossed Freya's face and she moved to get out of the car.
"Guys, maybe I should to the talking, I'm less threatening." Freya called to her siblings as they all walked towards the porch of the house.
"But I can compel him to simply answer my questions." Klaus argued. Freya glared at him in response, he held his hands up and took a step back. Freya smiled in triumph and walked up the porch steps. When her fist banged the door, it shook on its hinges, showing how badly the house had aged.
"Can I help you with something?" A gruff looking man with a moustache answered the door, his chief badge on his chest and a gun strapped to his hip.
"Um, hi. We're looking by someone who goes by the name of Bella, or Isabella. When we asked in town, they directed us to you?" Freya asked. The man nodded.
"Yeah that's my daughter. She doesn't like here anymore though." The man, Charlie, didn't miss how their faces dropped.
"She got married, she lives with her husband and his family now. I can give you the address for their house. But I do warn you, it's very difficult to find if you don't know where you're going." Charlie laughed, walking back into the house and retrieving a pen and paper from the side table in the hallway.
"There you go. Might I ask why you are looking for her?" Charlie crossed his arms across his chest and Freya grimaced. She turned to Klaus for some assistance and he smiled, knowing the Freya knew that compulsion was the best option.
Klaus didn't say anything before compelling the police chief.
"You do not need to know why we are looking for Isabella, you will forget that we were here. Have a good day, sir." Klaus touched the mans shoulder before he turned on his heel and walked back down the porch steps, the rest of the family following.
With the address in her hand, Freya climbed into the drivers seat and pulled away from the aged house.
"I didn't see this zip code when I was researching this town online. She must not be living in town." Freya said, passing the small piece of paper to Elijah, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Freya was right, and the house was way out of town. They drove down winding roads as they tried to spot the hard-to-see dirt road that the police chief had written about on the paper.
"There." Elijah pointed to a small opening that could be seen. The opening was so small Freya had to be careful not to scratch the car on the tree branches. Freya drove down the road slowly, not wanting to alert the people that were living in the house, including Isabella.
As they drove further down the long driveway, it widened gradually until a large house came into view. The house was large, large enough to accommodate the family she had gained over the years.
Kol took a step forward , away from Davina, he moved to walk up the front steps and knock the door.
"Kol, what are you doing?" Klaus asked in a whisper-shout.
"I'm knocking the door." Kol narrowed his eyebrows in confusion, what did Klaus think he was doing?
"No, you aren't. I am." Klaus put his hand on Kol's shoulder and pulled him backwards, he would have fallen into Rebekah if she hadn't sidestepped to avoid the collision.
"Here we go again. The original hybrid ladies and gentlemen, telling us what we can and cannot do, once again…" Kol used his left arm to gesture to his brother.
"Kol if you don't be quiet I'll…" Klau's threat was interrupted by a voice, the voice of a young girl.
"Why are you fighting?" The group turned to see a young girl, around the age of eight, sitting on one of the fallen trees in the garden. The Mikaelson's, except Freya, gasped.
"She looks like Bella." Rebekah muttered. Taking a step away from the group and approaching the child.
"You're very pretty, what's your name?" Rebekah asked the girl, slowly sitting down on the fallen tree beside her.
The girl blushed and ducked her head, her long bronze curls covering her face.
"Renesmee." She said, her voice was beautiful.
"That's a very pretty name." The girl, Renesmee smiled at Rebekah's compliment.
"So is yours, I have never met anyone else with their name the same way yours is spelt." Rebekah furrowed her eyebrows and turned back to look at her brothers and Freya for a moment.
"You know my name?" Rebekah asked, completely dumbfounded and confused.
"Yeah. You're Rebekah. My mommy has been waiting for you." Sudden realisation dawned on Rebekah that this was Isabella's daughter.
Leaving Rebekah stunned outside, as well as the rest of the group, Renesmee hopped from the tree and walked back inside, calling for her daddy.
"Daddy!" She shouted, before a second had passed a man who had to be her father appeared at her side.
"The people that Alice saw in her vision are here." She said, the man nodded and walked outside.
"Did she just say vision?" Davina muttered to Kol, he nodded.
"Bella?" Renesmee's father called into the house.
"What's up?" The voice that each of the Mikaelson's recognised channeled down the stairs and into the foyer, she stopped in her tracks when she saw them there. She gasped, and remained where she stood as she continued to stare at the family that had found her once again.
So that's chapter four. I really hope you liked it, I will be getting to the reunion in the next chapter, hopefully, depending on how I feel the next chapter is going.
Please R&R, I have loved hearing your feedback!
