I don't own Twilight or Vampire Diaries in any way, shape, or form.
The link for all of Belle's outfits are on my profile.
"How about we start with the kitchen? Most buyers want a big kitchen with older house like this" Linda said looking between Klaus and I "That's fine, come with me and I'll give you a tour of the whole house, Vic my mother's things should be in the attic, could you pack them up, and Klaus? If there's anything you want take it with you on your way out" I said motioning for Bonnie and Linda to follow me. Klaus followed as well, why was he making this so hard for me? Why couldn't he just leave, it's what he does best isn't it?
As Linda looked around the kitchen, Klaus came over towards Bonnie and me causing Bonnie to glare at him. With a blank face I asked "Is there something you needed, Klaus?" he looked at Bonnie then back at me "Could I talk to you with your guard dog?" he asked, I frowned not looking away from him I said "Sweetheart, why don't you go help Victoria pack" "But Auntie Belle-" she started "Please" I cut her off. She sighed back walking out
"What is it you want Klaus?" I said coldly, he looked sadly at me "What happened to my sweet little Belle?" he asked, I laughed coldly once "What happened? You broke me, that's what happened, but Emily fixed me and so did Victoria" I scowled, he looked down ashamed "Mikael was getting close to finding me, I didn't want to leave you, I loved you, I still do, but with Mikael still hunting my siblings and I, I couldn't risk you getting hurt, I tried finding you when he died but you went off the grid. With your brothers here in Mystic Falls I had hoped you would come back, and you did. Please Isabelle, forgive me, I never wanted this to happen, give me another chance" he begged. I didn't know what to say, I stared him with wide eyes "I-I...-" Victoria cut me off "We're done Belle, Linda is gonna come out tomorrow to finish. Come, we're leaving" she said coldly, glaring at Klaus. I nodded numbly, taking her extended hand letting her drag me out of the house.
"Belle?" Damon asked when he walked in, I hiccupped "Brother! Wanna join me for a drink?" I asked taking a gulp from the whiskey bottle. After we got back to the Salvatore house after dropping Bonnie off Vic went to our room to give me some alone time. I had already drank half a bottle of whiskey. As a vampire it took a lot to get drunk but I was going to try my damnest to forget Klaus, at least for a few hours. He looked at me "Salvatores and being day drunk isn't a good combo Isabelle" he said frowning "What happened?" he asked when I didn't say anything. I gave him a look "I saw Klaus today, the stupid relator called him... He still loves me, after all this time, I-I..." I broke off as tears filled my eyes. Great I was sad and drunk.
He sighed, sitting down next to me, taking the bottle, "I'm sorry for not telling you he was in town. It was selfish, but I knew you would leave if you knew and I missed you, Stefan misses you, the only one who ever sees you is Bonnie" he told me. I didn't say anything, but leaned over to hug him "I'm sorry too, it just hurts being near him." I said quietly. He cleared his throat "The Mikaelsons are having a ball, Stefan and I have to go to protect Elena but if you don't want to you don't have to go" he said rubbing my arm when I tensed, Elena, of course she'd have a Salvatore on each arm.
"No, I want to go, call Elena, we're going shopping tomorrow, when is it anyway?" I'm gonna fix this little Elena problem soon enough, she's not stringing my brother along like Katherine did. "Tomorrow night at seven... I guess I'll tell Elena" he said confused, "Bonnie and Victoria are going too, tell her to meet us at the grill at ten" I told him before going up to my room.
I poked Vic awake after I got out of the shower, it was 8:30 now so we still had time, but I know she likes showering in the morning so she needed to get up. "Up!" I tell her, she groaned before shuffling to the bathroom. I went to get dressed in a white open back crop top and a high waist grey and black striped skirt. I added a pair of black high heeled sandals and a floral scarf, putting on my black knee length coat grabbing my coach bag I walked downstairs to get some blood. Vic came down an hour later fully dressed. I handed her a glass of blood, which she quickly downed "Have fun" Stefan said as we walked out, Bonnie texted me that she just got there.
As we walked into the grill I spotted Elena and Bonnie at a table, before we got a chance to go over to them Klaus stepped in front of me, "Isabelle, are you coming to the ball tonight?" he asked, "As is Victoria, Elena and Bonnie" I reply coolly , "Would you accompany me then, darling?" I looked at him "Why?" I can't actually be thinking about this, can I? Oh who am I kidding, of course it's a terrible idea but... I've never did the right thing when it came to him. "Please Bellerina?" he asked using his old nickname for me. I glared at him as anger rushed through me, how dare he? I wasn't a toy he could play with whenever the need struck him; he was a manipulative bastard, just like Rebekah warned in 1864. Why didn't I listen to her? "I don't think that's a good idea, people getting divorces shouldn't go out together, before I forget, here" I say shoving my wedding and engagement rings into his hand "Now if you'll excuse me, I have things to do" I walked past him over to the girls.
Elena, Bonnie, Victoria and I were getting for the ball in my room. My dress was a light blue color with a beaded bust; I wore a white shawl with it and metallic gold heels, I had a gold clutch to go with it, and my hair was in a fishtail braid that fell to the right. Bonnie's dress was blood red and had a black shawl with it, her heels were white peep toes, and her clutch was black, her hair was pulled up with braids on each side. Elena's dress was black with a gray bust, she had a gold and black clutch, black peep toes, grey shawl and her hair was pulled into an up braid. Vic had her red hair curled and held by clips, with a semi- mermaid navy style dress, she had a silver shawl, her shoes black with silver studs that matched her clutch.
After Bonnie and Elena went down stairs, Vic and i stayed behind a few minutes "We're sticking to the original plan tonight, Klaus is gonna pay. Elijah is cute but too moral to knowingly sleep with his brother wife, even if it is soon to be ex. I don't know about the other two though; all I know is Klaus is gonna see me with one of his brothers tonight. He's going to felt the pain I went through" I tell her calmly while checking my make-up one last time.
Next chapter is the ball, and maybe a suprise or two...
