Chapter Ten:
I pulled Damon into my room. I couldn't believe we had found each other so fast. Honesty, I thought it would had of taken some time, at least a few weeks. Months, even. "You can sit on my bed, is that alright?"
Damon sat on my bed and gazed around the room. I grabbed a clean pile of clothes and headed to my bathroom. I dressed in a pair of jeans, a button-down shirt and a camisole. I padded barefoot out in to my room and watched Damon play with my Magic 8 ball.
"I don't understand these. They don't give true answers and all people do is ask stupid questions." Damon said.
I climbed onto my bed and sat on his lap. His hands flew immediately to my waist, hugging me. "Mhm," I kissed him softly on the lips. Damon deepened the kiss and flipped me over. We continued to kiss until I pulled away, both of us breathless.
Damon's hooded eyes flashed to mine. His hands were all over my body, trailing down my back and through my tangled hair. I grabbed a hold of his hands and wrapped my legs around his waist. "Bella," He whispered.
I smiled innocently and asked, "Do you wanna to see my wings?"
"I do," Damon said.
I closed my eyes and arched my back. My wings spread out and Damon inhaled. "Aren't they beautiful?" Words weren't spoken, but I knew what Damon was going to say. My wings fluttered along with my heartbeat, so when it increased, so did my wings.
Damon ran his fingers along my feathers and I giggled. "What?" he questioned. I pushed his black locks back behind his ear and kissed him. I just couldn't get enough of his kisses.
"It tickles when you do that, Damon." He began to tickle me along my back and I squealed. "Please!" I gasped out.
"I will. If you do me a favor." Damon teased. His face was lit up with a smile, one as I was quite accustomed to.
"Any. Thing!""Kiss-" I crashed my lips to his, not waiting for a response. I received one, of course. Damon's lips traveled down my neck and to my collarbone, sucking on sensitive skin. I felt the slight prick of his teeth and realized it was his fangs.
"Go ahead. It's okay," I grasped a hold of his hair as he bit down. There was a brief pain before absolute bliss. I was glad for the blissful feelings; they had replaced my earlier fatigue and slight desperation.
Damon was finished and began to lick the wound. I giggled again. "Does it tickle, too?" Damon laughed.
I nodded and watched him studied me. He suddenly cursed and sat up.
"What?" I asked.
"I got blood on your shirt."
I looked down but I didn't see anything. "On your collar."
"Oh," I pulled off my button-down and balled up my shirt. I tossed it into my laundry basket and Damon chuckled. "I made it!"
Damon handed me a new shirt and replied."You did," He trailed his fingers across my neck, watching the bite heal. "Your blood was delicious."
"I know. I'm an angel, remember? Oh!" My phone began to ring and I reached for it. "Hello?"
"Hey Bella! We're in front of your house. Can we come in?" Alice squealed.
"Who's that?" Damon asked me. His eyebrows pulled together as he stared at the phone and then at me.
"Alice. Let's go outside." Damon picked me up bridal style and flew us downstairs. I mock pouted.
"I can't do that!" Surprise crossed his face.
"But your an angel..."
I opened the door and said, "I can. I do believe we shall race later, dear sir."
His smile grew wider as we stepped onto the porch. "Bella!" Emmett yelled and hugged me tight.
"I... can't... breathe!" I gasped out as the introduced themselves to Damon. "This is Emmett, obviously." I motioned to Emmett and they shook hands. "This is Jasper... Rose and Alice."
Alice grasped my shoulders and looked at me sternly. "Explain your phone call. Especially everything that has happened after." She snuck a glance at Damon, who was chatting with Jasper.
"Civil War," Rose muttered. "They both think the South should've won." She snorted and I clapped my hand over her mouth.
"Be careful!" I stage-whispered, knowing the three guys could hear us. "They might kill you Rose!"
"Never!" Emmett shouted nearly knocking me down as he rushed over.
"Emmett. I am not a granite rock like y'all, I am still fragile. You know, like a human?" I crossed my arms and he looked slightly ashamed.
I punched him lightly in the arm and lead them inside. "It's alright Emmy. We'll get used to it."
"Hey Bellarina!" I maturely reacted by sticking my tongue out. They all laughed at me.
"Fine! Guess I won't tell y'all what's goin' on." I crossed my arms and danced to the kitchen while ignoring their protests.
"Bella," Damon whispered behind me. I whirled around and he combed his finger through my hair.
"Yes?" I questioned and bit my lip. His eyes darkened and I grabbed his hands from my hair.
"Come on. We all need to know." Damon whispered in my ear and I shivered. "Show 'em your wings." I kissed him quickly and walked back to the living room.
"Alright! Okay, so y'all know that-" Emmett snickered at I stood before him with my hands on my hips.
"What. You making fun of the way I talk? Just 'cause I am from Washington does not mean that I can't talk this way, mister. I can talk the way... What?" Jasper smiled.
"Just the fact that you're returin' to your roots. Remember Texas?"
I furrowed my brow, deep in thought. "Most of it, but Bonnie said I'd remember everything when I was with Damon." I turned to smile at him and held his hand. "Let me start from the beginning- of my life."
I took a deep breath and began my story. "I know that I was born sometime in the early 1200s. When I was seventeen, I meet Klaus and his family for the first time. Klaus was instantly infatuated with me and asked Father to court me. He said yes, for Klaus was from a wealthy family. As was I, it was nothing but correct to marry someone from the same social level. You'd be disowned otherwise. Klaus and I were to be married but I discovered his secret. I ran because I thought he wanted to marry me so he could kill me.
"He was furious that I ran from him," I stopped for minute and closed my eyes. Alice was going to talk but I held up my hand. "Please, don't."
"He murdered my entire family, including my son, Jeremiah. I had Jeremiah out of wedlock, and since he was a boy, I was able to keep him. He was only four." I stopped again and wiped the tears off my face. "Elijah knew of this when I came to him. I asked Elijah to help me escape Klaus. He did, but later paid for that.
"I was taken to a family and Elijah compelled them to believe I was their daughter. I had just turned twenty, a year later, when a man name Daniel began to court me. I foolishly believed he loved me so. One night, before dusk, he led me into the deep, forbidden part of the woods.
You see, in the village I lived in, the woods were claimed to belong to wolves. Werewolves. The smarter townspeople would stay out, but the foolish people who ventured in would be killed. It was a little piece treaty of sorts. He led me to the edge when I had realized where he had taken me. I screamed and fought him, but Daniel... he ended up killing me because of his anger." I flashed a weak smile and Rose growled. I nodded at her and she came over next to Damon and me. She embraced me tightly and whispered to me.
"It's alright, Rose. I'm angry but I've got Damon now. I know he won't hurt me." I leaned into his chest and resumed my story. "Daniel was an angel. I presume he was a fallen angel gone bad, but I'm never really sure. I "woke up" again in the 1400s.
"Katrina was my elder sister, she cared for me dearly. As I her. When two men came upon us, they insisted on marrying us. Elijah and Nicklaus. Katrina discovered she was a doppelganger... she was of great use to Nicklaus- Klaus rather. I'm not entire sure why he needs a doppelganger." I looked to Damon.
"I know why. He needed Elena for the same spell." I nodded for him to continue on. "He was born a werewolf and became a vampire. He needed the doppelgangers blood to...uncover his werewolf abilities. He became a hybrid and created several like him."
"That's bull." Emmett stated. "Why is Klaus hunting you down, Bells?"
I grimaced. "I'm not entirely sure, but he's killed me every lifetime. There has to be an important reason, besides making my lives hell." I shook my head. "She became a vampire and since she was disowned, we were going to leave for England. That of course never happened. Klaus catches up with us, nearly killing Katrina and killing me. Klaus has a thing for staking me, every damn time."
"In 1672, Klaus and I met again. This time, I was an angel. Throughout a course of five years, we had a deadly game of cat and mouse. Far more dangerous than Tom and Jerry. He captured me, and starved me for three days to get me weak. Since he was stronger by then, he won.
"Let's see... 1800s!" Jasper grinned at me and I gave him a sly smile in return. "I was Jasper Whitlock's younger sister Isabella Whitlock. I held a normal life until twenty-five. I had a daughter and a son, Haley and Jonathan. They were eight year old twins. I had been alone in the house since Jasper and Damon were off fighting. Klaus had come by and murdered by children. I had been down by the stream collecting water, I think. I was about seven months pregnant-" I choked up and shook my head. "I can't..."
"It's alright; do you want me to tell it?" Jasper asked me gently. I nodded and placed my head in my hands.
"Klaus had taken their bodies and buried them, leaving her to think they were still playing outside. By dawn, she was frantic. My aunt and mother came down and searched for them- and ended up digging up their graves." Jasper swallowed thickly and resumed. "Damon was sent word and we returned home, but by then it was too late. Bella had already been murdered by Klaus." He looked at me with venom tears pooled in his eyes and mumbled. "You had a little boy, Isabella."
Emmett jumped up, seething with anger and smashed one of Grandmother's vases.
"Emmett! I know you're mad, but please don't break my house. Go rip a few trees." I looked at all five vampires who were all angry. "All of you." I eyed Jeremy, Bonnie and Elena. "I'll be here when you get back."
After I convinced them to leave, I wandered into the kitchen and grabbed a bag of Chips Ahoy cookies and sat back on the couch. It was going to be a long night

Once again, I own nothing.
