Chapter 18 – Undaggering a sister
Bella POV
with a groan I did my best to stand up. And failed horribly.
"Is everything okay?"
A laughing Damon was sitting at the edge of my bed looking thoroughly pleased with him.
"Don't laugh at me"
I complained with a pout.
"It's your fault I'm completely sexed out"
"Who wanted to see if it's possible to tire out a vampire?"
He snickered and I pouted more. He was right, it was my fault. Stealing his black silken shirt I plopped myself with another groan on his lap.
"One thing my mother taught me, it's always the husband's fault"
I smiled at him ignoring his rolling icy blue eyes. With a smirk he bit into his wrist and held it up.
"Dig in wife"
He smirked. I shook my head
"I shouldn't like this"
I commented offhandedly and lapped at the blood oozing from the wound. All the times I've smelt blood it disgusted it but drinking Damon's was more of a juicy fruit than the coppery taste of blood. Strange yet yummy! As I drank I felt fingers pushing my hair away from my neck and teeth sinking in.
"I always drink too much from you"
He muttered against my neck. I licked my lips crossing my legs.
"Breakfast?"
"Sure, hey is that my shirt?"
"Yep"
Able now to move properly I bundled down the stairs and began making myself a mayo, egg and cheese sandwich. I was about to have that first bite, I was ravenous, another mouth bit it.
"Hey!"
"What yours is mine"
With that he slapped my butt and blurred out the kitchen door.
A few hours later after a long shower I pushed open the 'magic door', a hot pan in my hands and I stopped dead on my tracks.
"Mom?"
My mother swirled around with her eyes wide.
"Baby"
She rushed to hug me making sure she wouldn't get burned. I put the heavy pan on the kitchen counter
"What are you doing here?"
"Your father told me of your weekly dinners. I thought I'd join you"
She lied easily. I hid a smile and nodded
"Sure. Help me serve?"
Mom may know how to lie properly, but Charlie doesn't, he blushes horribly. His lips were painted with a bright reddish orange, the same shade mom's were.
"Nice lipstick, what brand is it?"
Have you ever seen a cop freeze? Neither had I
"Hi Bells"
Dad stuttered. It's quite cute actually.
"How was your week?"
He changed the subject
"Pretty good. We had a bachelor raft the other day. Lots of single women in Mystic Falls. And you guys?"
"Us?"
Mom's eyes widened. I nodded chewing on my hot potato
"The teaching, the sheriffing"
They looked at each other before hasting to speak. Mom insisted everything was okay at the magic school and mom stated everything is nice and quiet in forks. We lapsed into an uncomfortable silence while we ate. We never sat as a family to eat before, just the three of us. I pushed one stray strand of hair uncomfortably behind my ear when mom gasped
"What is that young lady?"
Crap. I looked at my ring trying to come up with an excuse
"We had a fair after the bachelor raft. I thought it was pretty"
I shrugged one shoulder. Too bad I can't lie either. My own face flushed
"Uh huh"
Charlie turned his Charlie-glare on me as he sipped his beer. I felt my body clenching.
"Are you pregnant?"
My eyes snapped to him
"God no!"
It's not like vampires can have children.
"Then why?"
Mom tilted her head to the side
"How long have you two been sleeping together?"
I threw the ball back and breathed in relief as they both froze and began fidgeting.
"We're trying a few things out baby"
"Are you okay with that?"
Charlie asked carefully. I looked at them before nodding
"As long as you know what you're doing and no one gets hurt, I'm cool with it"
I smiled and watched them both relax. Seems like I'm not the only one with a busy week
I was still laughing when returning to my own house abit before midnight. After the awkward dinner mom had put a movie and we had all sat together to watch it. Mom asked again if I was pregnant because 'I am glowing'. When I replied it's the result of numerous earth shuttering orgasms dad grabbed his service gun and demanded to meet the guy. I steered them off and to the movie.
"Hi Stefan"
I said surprised opening the door to throw the trash out.
"Are you busy?"
"Nope, come on in"
I put the large bag in the trash and sat with him to my living room.
"Do you need something to drink?"
"No, I'm good. I remembered something"
"Tell me"
"Remember I told you about having a relationship with Rebekah in the '20s?"
"Yes, the original sister"
"She had mentioned something about a curse"
"A curse"
"Yes, it was about in allowing Klaus to turn people. I wasn't paying a lot of attention"
"Most curses require sacrifices which would explain my vision"
I bit my lip
"Think she'll try to kill me if I try talking to her?"
"Yes and I have no idea where she is"
"Do you have anything of hers?"
He nodded
"Her pendant. It fell from her neck when they left"
"I can use it to track her down if you don't mind me borrowing it"
"Sure. I'll bring it right over"
With a nod of his head he was suddenly gone and returned with a velvet box not a full minute later. With a jerk of my head I showed him the attic and unwrapped the amulet. It was beautiful with a delicate design and a hematite stone on it. As I touched it I got hit with an image of a blond guy stabbing a blond girl and gasper
"Are you okay?"
Stefan was quick to wrap an arm around me. I nodded and wrapped the pendant around my amethyst talisman and hovered it above a map of the states. I performed the tracking ritual three more times until I had an address in Chicago.
"Been in Chicago recently?"
"No"
"Great"
Grabbing a small pouch with the necessary potions I asked Stefan to be my tour guy in Chicago.
"Sure"
He nodded smiling. I smiled back, took his hand in mine, put the pouch in a purse and threw one transporting potion to the ground. With a cloud of orbs we found ourselves in a large park in Chicago. Tightening my pea-coat around me I looked at him expectantly
"Some on tour guy"
It had taken us a whole hour to find the address but we did find it. It was a mausoleum in a central yet close cemetery. I shivered as Stefan jumped up over the gate.
"Afraid of ghosts?"
He chuckled.
"No. afraid of walking into a trap"
I muttered and watched as he broke the lock easily. Right after arriving in Chicago I had put an invincibility spell on us making to sure to cover our scents too. Inside the mausoleum were a long row of coffins, all of them brand new. Stefan began uncovering them one by one as I could hear my own hear beating loudly in my ears.
In the coffins was a young man in his early twenties, an older man in his thirties, a girl in a flapper dress, looking to be a teenager and one more coffin. It was locked and as much as Stefan tried to pry it open it wouldn't budge. Putting both my hands on it I visualized chains leaving it and when Stefan tried again we saw that the person inside it was the woman from my vision.
Quickly I snapped photos of all of them and Stefan covered all the coffins except the one with the girl. In her chest was plunged a dagger adorned in rubies. Exchanging a look with Stefan I pulled it out of her. She remained unmoving for a moment giving me time to make a copy of the dagger and put it in my purse.
Sometimes I love magic.
Rebekah gasped and fought for breath for a moment as all color returned to her skin. Stefan quickly fed her a blood bag he had the good sense to bring. She was pretty, I decided and annoyed.
"Hi lover"
She greeted Stefan with a kiss. I cleared my throat making Stefan all but throw her back in the coffin.
"Hi, I'm Bella"
"Hello, I'm Rebekah"
She spoke with a European accent. Her light blue eyes traveled all over us and the mausoleum as if she was deciding if we (I) was worth living and if so, what was my importance to her.
"I know. Why is your father so hell bent on killing you and your siblings?"
I cut to the chase. Her eyes froze over for a moment
"I have no idea what you're talking about"
She replied coolly. Tapping into Edward's mind reading power I scanned her mind quickly. She was thinking about her father (in longish hair) growling something about his children being evil and having to die. Then her thoughts flied to a discussion held in an office of sorts. herself, the man from the club when I was out with Jenna and the blond guy I saw in my vision were talking about the importance of the doppelganger and how Elijah had better keep it in his pants till the sacrifice was done.
My concentration was broken as a pair of cool hands was around my throat and I was pushed backwards against a wall. Rebekah's veiny face was up close to mine.
"Get out of my head"
She snarled and squeezed tighter. Without thinking I threw my hands up causing her to explode and fell to the ground coughing. Stefan was fallen to the side, his head snapped in an impossible position and all around us were the millions vampire particles that were formerly known as Rebekah.
Oops
