Kol POV
Kol had noticed the gorgeous brunette immediately while she had been walking throughout the woods. She was captivating but he needed answers and she was supposed to be the one to give it to him. When she didn't and it was clear that she had been around supernaturals before, Kol was instantly intrigued.
After talking to her and knowing her story, he knew he was done for - he accepted it even; she was spectacular. But even with that knowledge, he had surprised even himself when he had said that little comment about her nearly being a Mikaelson. Where had that even come from? He knew he liked her, of course he did, but enough to want to add her to his family?
He chose to ignore those questions and to focus on the dry, bitter, uncomfortable itch in the back of his throat that he needed to quelch.
After finding a few random humans to fill his thirst, compelling them to forget it ever happened, Kol ran around aimlessly for a while, trying to not think but failing miserably, when he heard Bella's familiar voice and screaming.
Once he was close enough to see them, the scene took him completely off guard. Bella was smirking, looking every bit as dangerous and unhinged as she was arousing. She was doused from head to toe in cold one venom but had apparently gotten bored with them because she now had a human in front of her. He pushed himself as fast as he could go but just as he was about to reach her, the human's throat was thrown away from its body.
"Bella, stop!" He called, pulling her into his arms, stroking her face as he whispered to her, her eyes crazed and unrecognizable - and unmistakably yellow.
"I'm going to take you to my house, okay, darling?" He watched her eyes for approval, recollection, or something to tell him that she understood what he was saying, but he found none. All he found was an intensely blissed out, yellow eyed Bella that he doubted could tell him the direction up from down.
He sighed and picked her up bridal style, muttering, as he ran to the house hoping to find something to help her regain her sanity.
"Come on, darling." He's never been so concerned with another's well being before, and while it was absolutely unnerving and foreign, it was also very natural. He needed her to come back. No matter how arousing a souped-up Bella was, he quite enjoyed her normal self.
Once he arrived at the mansion he called out for his brothers, albeit a bit panicked but at the moment he didn't care nor notice.
"I found her like this, she's killed a human but I don't think she fully understands that yet. Her eyes were yellow, Nick. Fix her." He demanded but it came out more like a whine. He rolled his eyes looking at his more than amused brothers pointedly before standing Bella up.
"Darling?" He cradled her face to keep her looking at him.
"Kol." She hummed and slurred before she giggled and his lips quirked upwards involuntarily.
"We're going to fix you, okay, darling. Just sit here and don't move. Okay?" He waited for her nod before helping her sit on the couch.
"Here, look. A ….." Kol for the life of him couldn't understand what this thing in his hand was.
"Gameboy." Nik supplied with an amused smirk that Kol ignored.
"Yes, here, darling. Play with it a while, yeah?" He waited for her to nod as she spun the device around, giggling before he nodded back and walked to his siblings.
3rd Person POV
"She's a witch and a wolf?" Nik said thoughtfully, his cocky, smug, amused attitude gone for now as he thought of a way to help his new sister.
"Souped up on Cold one venom." Kol added with a grimace.
"Yes, not the best combination. And thanks for inviting me, brothers. I truly appreciate being involved when my friend is in danger, thank you." Rebekah glared as she entered the room.
"I thought you were out with your new boy-toy, Beks but he must not be any good if -"
"Finish that sentence, Kol, and it'll be the last thing you ever say because I'll have ripped out your tongue!"
"Enough. We have bigger problems to handle without your insolent bickering." Elijah cut in as he led the group to the study.
"We'll need to find her bloodlines in order to know what we're dealing with. We don't need another hybrid running around, psychotically, causing havoc and chaos." Elijah said causing both Nik and Kol to growl and Rebekah to glare.
"Calm down. I merely meant we have enough problems, we don't need her to be one too, so, we need to find something to … calm her." Elijah explained which didn't help his case.
"You want to make her ignore a part of her that will cause her pain, Elijah? Like I had to, brother?" Nik growled, his visage showing but he didn't make a move to attack him. Yet, anyway.
"No, brother. I mean she has to learn control. Kol can help her with her magic, Niklaus will help her with her wolf, I will help with her bloodline and family history while Rebekah helps her stay sane with all this new information and male interference everywhere." Elijah explained with a small smirk that everyone relaxed at.
"Better, Elijah. Although, next time, you might want to start off with that because I'm sure the only reason Nik held back was that of the fragile hybrid downstairs. You might not be so lucky next time, brother." Rebekah snarked with a mocking smirk before flashing out the room.
"Yes, my theory is confirmed. Stefan really doesn't know how to -"
"SHUT UP, KOL!" Rebekah yelled up the stairs and, having gotten the response he wanted, Kol laughed.
"If you're done." Elijah waved his hand at the door.
"Calm, Elijah. I'd much rather hang with my girl than a stick in the mud." Kol teased, dashing out of the room.
"He's different around her." Elijah commented, looking through the bookshelves.
"Yes... it's nice. And she's fun to have around, so ..." Nik trailed off, shrugging before he left the room. Yes, Elijah doubted that they'd ever have a dull moment with her added to the mix of the Mikaelsons.
"Where the bloody hell is she?!" Kol yelled from downstairs and a wry smile settled on Elijah's face. No dull moments indeed.
