"Isabelle what are you talking about, it's me Elena." The vampire whore stuttered.
"Liar, you can wear Elena's clothes, wear her necklace and jewelry and style your hair like hers but you're not Elena, I can smell your scent seeping through and the childlikeness of your voice is still there," I snapped. She struggled against me.
"I know its you Katherine, now where's Elena?" Stefan hissed dangerously.
"Stefan, baby its me," She cooed.
I rolled my eyes at Katherine, it was so blatantly her that I had my doubts this was not the real Elena for a while. The question is why was Katherine here in the first place spying on us and secondly where the fuck was the real Elena. Just as I was sifting through my thoughts a pained groan from my mate brought me out of thoughts. I felt a pain like no other my chest and doubled over, gasping for air as Stefan grabbed Katherine as she tried to make a run for it, he pinned her back to the wall by the throat.
"What the fuck?" I spat out as I hissed.
"What's the matter?" Stefan asked with concern lacing his voice.
"Suddenly I can feel the mating pull again and all the pain Damon is in," I gasped.
"What do you mean again?" He asked.
"With everything that's been going on lately I hadn't noticed that the pull had been growing increasingly dull," I whispered.
"Isa," Damon whispered from my left, my head snapped up to his as he came rushing over to me.
"Damon," I whispered.
"What's the matter baby, what happened?" he asked as his arms wrapped around me.
I saw Stefan's eyebrows pinched together in confusion. I was so tempted to snuggle into my mates comforting embrace but then I remembered what happened these past few months and all the lies and wrenched myself from his warm embrace. He looked at me in confusion.
"What happened is that you have been a total dick to me lately," I spat at him. He looked utterly confused and not even Damon was that much of an actor, which made my temper die down. "What was the last thing you remember?" I asked softly as he threw an arm around my shoulder in an affectionate manner. I lost control for a second and ended up resting my face in the crook of his neck, breathing in his scent, it calmed me instantly. Once I realized what I was doing, I pulled away and embarrassment wash over me.
"Going on that date when we ran into the devil incarnate Katherine..." Damon's words trailed off as he looked to Katherine who was still pinned to the wall..
Suddenly a cold wall slammed down over his eyes and he pushed me off him with a sneer and such disgust it made my heart clench. I heard Katherine chuckle from behind me as I laid sprawled out on the floor, hurt and confused by Damon's behavior. But it was obvious Katherine had done something, I thought over what he said, the last thing he said he remembered was running into Katherine a few months ago. What was going on?
"Stefan take the whore to the basement, make sure she has vervain wrapped chains and a few stakes," I hissed out, watching as he carried a struggling Katherine who was begging Stefan to believe her.
I stood up, turning my back on Damon as my heart broke in my chest listening to his pleas to let Katherine go, that she had done nothing wrong. I walked out of the bedroom, running things through my muddled brain. I walked downstairs to the basement door where Stefan was pinching the bridge of his nose between his index finger and his thumb. I sighed and Stefan glanced up at me.
"Are you okay Isa?" Stefan asked me curiously. I glared at him, not forgetting his part in my brothers death.
"Do I look okay to you Stefan?" I hissed.
"Isa, I'm sorry about your brother, I didn't know," He pleaded with me.
"What did Finn ever do to you huh?" I asked scathingly.
"Nothing," Stefan admitted.
"So he died for nothing," I said sadly, looking at the ground.
Stefan walked away without another word, I put a magical lock on the basement that only I could unlock. I stalked my way upstairs, ignoring all the curious glances I was getting. I needed to head to Sam's and scout out this area, the sooner we had the house built, the better. I walked out the front door, taking a deep breath of fresh air mingled with freshly cut wood. My eyes drifted over the covered building supplies that were scattered over my front yard.
As soon as my feet hit the grass, I was off running full speed towards La Push, Leah was waiting for me there in wolf form, I gave her a nod and she gave me a wolfy grin. We ran to Sam's without stopping, keeping in the shadows of the forest so the humans didn't suspect anything. Sometimes they amaze me how naive the human race can be. They think vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters and witches are just parts of fairy tales when actually their are many of each living right under their noses, the humans remain unsuspecting. Which in a way is a good thing, one of the bad things about humans are that if they find something that they don't understand or they fear, they try to eliminate it without trying to understand it.
I walked through Sam's front door without knocking, when your part of the pack you get used to your home being used as a hang out for teenage wolves that require tonnes of food. I waved at Emily and then reminded myself to do the spell later before I went home. I kissed her on the cheek as I walked past.
"I'll sort out your scars when I get back Em," I whispered softly.
"There's no need Belle, it's fine," She protested.
"Emily, its up to you, would you like me to remove them or would you like them to remain? It's no trouble either way," I replied honestly, she studied me for a moment before nodding.
"When you get back right?" She sounded hopeful.
"Have I ever let you down before?" I grinned when she shook her head.
"Thank you Belle," She said as she hugged me tightly.
"It's not problem, I better go find your wolf," I said.
"He's in the living room," She replied happily.
"Thanks Em," I said with a smile as I disappeared into the living room.
Sam and Paul were sat on the sofa talking quietly, I cleared my throat and immediately had Paul tackling me to the ground, I giggled and pushed him off of me.
"Bell Baby," Paul grinned.
"Hey Paul, how are ya today?" I asked.
"I'm okay, I heard Embry imprinted on your little sister," Paul chuckled when Embry yelled at him from his place in the yard.
"He did, are you hoping I have another sister?" I teased.
"No, your plenty for me to handle," He winked. I rolled my eyes, flirting with Paul came naturally and seeing as my mate was being such a dick, whether it was willingly or not then it felt nice to have someone pay me some attention.
"I think I'm too much to handle personally baby," I said with a playful smirk.
Ha! We're finally starting to unravel the mystery.
