Chapter 5: Arrogance

Third Person POV

When Elena woke up she found herself in a bedroom that wasn't hers. The walls were burgundy red, the floor was polished wood with a five pointed star in the middle of the room and on the ceiling with the exception of a scorpion surrounding the pentagram. The bed had black Egyptian silk sheets, with a nightstand on both sides of the bad with a creepy candle style skull lamp. The curtains were black laced and she could see some salt along the window sill which was odd to say the least. Now that she thought about it she noticed there were salt along the windows around the bed and in beneath the doors. There was a vanity and a wardrobe next to it and in front of the bed next to the door was an expensive looking entertainment system with a flat screen TV and an Xbox360.

After wandering the house to find her friends she found out that the style was like this throughout the house as well. After finding three other bedrooms that she guessed were guest rooms, three bathrooms, the library and what looked like a training room Elena finally found her friends in the living room.

Bonnie was sitting on the couch along glaring holes at Bella's head as Bella talked with Jeremy telling him about being a hunter and everything, that's cool and everything but they were two close for her liking.

Walking into the room Elena caught the tail end of their conversation.

"Then I turned around and noticed there was a huge crater in the wall! It was like someone was thrown into in or something!" Bella was saying to a clearly fascinating Jeremy while Bonnie looked intrigued yet skeptical despite her dislike of the girl.

"So after making sure I had my dagger and some extra salt on me I walked through the wall and saw the strangest thing." Bella told them looking bewildered.

By now not only was Bonnie and Jeremy fascinated though the witch could deny it all she wanted but so was Elena.

"Well what was it? What did you see?" an impatient Jeremy demanded.

Still looking bewildered like she still couldn't believe it she said, "I found my target and my father drunk off of their asses laughing like hyena's and naked as the day they were born" Bella told us looking quite disturbed as she continued, "We were in what looked like another world as there was sunshine and we were in a garden. Which is ridiculous since it was raining buckets outside and I had walked through a hole in the wall of the basement! It was like Narnia!"

By now all of them were looking at her like she had lost her ever loving mind. A whole other world in someone's basement! Surely she was exaggerating, Elena thought. A little niggling voice in the back of her mind whispered but what about what you have seen? Vampires, witches, werewolves and doppelgängers. If they were possible why no other worlds? Elena ignored that thought still in disbelief or denial it was hard to say.

Bonnie scoffed at Bella thinking she was absolutely crazy. There were no such thing as other worlds besides the Other Side. Bonnie though arrogantly to herself Grams would have told Bonnie or it would have been in her ancestor's grimoire.

Jeremy unlike Elena and Bonnie, though it was entirely possible. Unlike Bonnie he was not so arrogant to believe what they had seen was all there was in the world. Jeremy had always thought there were more beings out there than they knew about and after meeting Bella he was happy to be proven right.

Also since Jeremy had met the emerald eyed beauty he had noticed how relaxed he seemed to be. Lately since he had found out about Vicky and everything that has been going on with Elena and her friends he had become withdrawn and almost always angry. Losing Anna who despite everyone thinking he loved her romantically and thought of her as the quirky annoying little sister he didn't know he wanted despite her actual age, was hard on him as well.

Somehow after the first hello from her he relaxed and smiled more and they had just met last night! It was insane to feel so comfortable around someone other than family so fast, but he does.

After seeing Elena and Bonnie's faces Bella held in an irritated sigh. Bella knew they didn't believe her and she can't blame them as they didn't know her at all besides what she had told them last night.

Still she could tell they didn't believe her not because they didn't know her and thought she was telling tale. They didn't believe her because they were arrogant enough to believe that only the supernatural's in this little town were the only things paranormal in the world. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if they think Mystic Falls is the only supernatural hotspot. Bella though barely containing the urge to roll her eyes at those two.

At least Jeremy believes me, Bella thought fondly. Bella was surprised at how at ease and content she feels around the young Gilbert. Bella loves his enthusiasm at hearing her stories of her hunts. No one but her father would have believed her or found them fascinating, but for some reason Jeremy did and it warmed her broken heart a little. Bella didn't know what it was about him but she found she didn't mind as long as she continued to feel this content.

"What was your target?" Elena asked awkwardly having missed most of the story and wanting to break the awkward silence. Though she didn't believe her she was curious about who her supposed target was.

Breaking out of her thoughtful observations of her three guests Bella looked to a still clearly skeptical yet curious Elena.

"Leprechaun." She simply said nonchalantly like talking about the weather and not a small midget obsessed with gold. Seeing the disbelieving duo look at her like she was nuts she gave them a careless shrug not at all bother by their skepticism.

"Why was your dad naked with a Leprechaun?" Jeremy asked awkwardly looking curious yet uncomfortable for asking. Raising a brow at the squirming boy she couldn't help but mess with him.

After all everyone has been awake for an hour and she still hasn't messed with them yet. She is proud of herself for having lasted this long. With a wicked grin and a glint in her eyes she knew just how to mess with him.

"Well Leprechauns though small are said to be the fifth greatest lovers after Succubae, Incubi, Sirens and Vampires. Especially their tongue that is long and forked which is perfect for..." Bella trailed off seeing all three of them looking as red as a tomato and looking horrified. Though Bonnie looked a mix of disgust and a bit turned on. "Eating," Bella finished off innocently though the glint of mischief and amusement in her eyes gave her game away.

As her three guests tried to stop blushing Bella decided to make breakfast. So with a smirk she sauntered to her kitchen thinking to herself how easy they were to mess with. Halfway to the kitchen her cell phone alerted her to an incoming text. Curious and alert she read the text sent from her old friend.

From: Kitty_Katz

To: RiPpErBiTcH

Hey B! I just thought I would warn you RED is on the move and the RATS may return. Also MR. HYDE is looking for COPYCAT.

Be Careful!

Love,

Kitty XOXO

After rereading the text for a minute she understood the coded message. Red is Victoria and she is on the move possibly heading her way. The Rats are the Cullen's so they might return to Forks which isn't a problem seeing as she had no intention to ever return to Forks of her own free will so she should be safe. Mr. Hyde is Klaus a werewolf hybrid, the first actually and he is looking for the doppelganger. The copycat means the doppelganger which is Elena which means Klaus is coming for her.

Huffing in annoyance Bella sent out a reply back in thanks and to let her know of any developments and to keep her updated before she put her phone away.

Closing her eyes she let out a deep frustrated sigh before deciding to just take everyone out for breakfast having become too agitated to cook.

Heading to the living room to inform the trio of the change in plans she couldn't help but think I really hate fucking drama!
