Klaus, Elijah and Damon were angry when they saw Jasper and that Kol was carrying him.

"Why is he here!" Klaus yelled.

Bella ignored Klaus and had Kol lay Jasper on the couch in the parlor. "Jasper, how long ago did this happen?" She asked, trying to keep him conscious.

"Three days." Jasper croaked out.

"Wait, he's a cold one, why is he affected by this." Bonnie pointed out.

Jasper shook his head. "Contacts. Bella…" He reached a hand up and cupped her face again. "Take them out."

Bella nodded and helped get Jasper's contacts out. The topaz lenses were easy to slide out. His amber eyes were tired, but they were his true eyes. "Why didn't I know this?"

"You weren't supposed to know." Jasper said and coughed.

"I'm going to kill him." Klaus growled.

Bella stood and faced Klaus. "Just stop! He's dying from a werewolf bite. Your blood is the only thing that will help him."

"I'm not giving him my blood." Klaus said, his tone clipped. "He-"

"Didn't do anything to me." Bella cut him off.

"He didn't stop it either." Elijah pointed out.

Jasper coughed again. "I didn't know." He wheezed.

Bella looked back at Jasper and it hurt her to see him like that. "Jazz…"

"Darlin' you're sad. Don't be." Jasper said and coughed again. "I'm dying. It's okay. I tried my hardest to get here to warn you and I've done that. If it's time for me to go, I'll have that peace."

Tears welled up in Bella's eyes. "Jazz, I can't lose you." She said and she looked at Klaus. "Please. Save him." She sniffled.

Klaus didn't like seeing her so broken. So much was happening and for the moment, he felt it. Felt the sorrow that Bella felt for Jasper. He felt her desperation to make him better and so he bit his wrist, his golden ringed eyes not changing as he walked over to Jasper and pushed his wrist to his mouth. "Drink."

Jasper closed his eyes as he tasted Klaus's blood. It didn't take much. Klaus pulled his wrist away and Jasper opened his eyes again. He felt the effects of the werewolf venom leaving him. His shoulder was healing the way it was supposed to because he was a vampire.

Bella wiped her face and she went to Jasper's side, sitting on the couch on the edge and placing a hand over his heart on his chest. "I'm so sorry."

"Nothing to be sorry about."

Damon growled. "Why are you here?" He interrupted.

"Because of Edward. He's… hard to keep track of. Him and Alice both." Jasper said and looked at Bella.

Bella just nodded. "The messages I've been getting… they're from him… aren't they?"

Jasper looked around the room and then back at her. "Possibly. I lost track of Alice and Edward around Alabama. It's where I got bit by a werewolf. I'm not too sure it wasn't Edward and Alice's trap they set up. Emmett and Rosalie were on their way to Italy to alert the Volturi when I got bit. They should be turning around now. We tried to get Edward away from you. When… when we discovered what was happening. Do you remember?" He asked.

Bella blinked a few times, recalling any memory of Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie talking to her about what was happening and then it hit her.

"What's this?" Jasper asked when they pulled up outside Bella's house. He noticed her sleeve had slid up and there were some bruising around her wrists. He grabbed her hand to push the sleeve up higher, seeing the bruising got worse and there were crescent marks.

Bella pulled her hand back and pulled her sleeve back down. "It's nothing." She said, and tried to look away.

Emmett and Rosalie turned to look back at Bella and Jasper.

"What's wrong?" Emmett asked.

"She has bruises and crescent marks." Jasper said and took her hand back. "Bella is Edward hurting you?"

Bella teared up then, sobbing a little. It was all the confirmation Jasper needed. "Emmett, we need to get her away from him."

"What! No! I love Edward." Bella cried out.

Rosalie shook her head. "Bella, he's hurting you. You-"

"It's okay though. Alice says that one day I'll be a vampire, so I just have to endure it. This is what love is. This is what I have to do."

"No sweetie…" Rosalie said gently. "That's not love."

Emmett growled. "I'll kill him."

"Emmett no!" Bella cried again.

Jasper shook his head. "You can't go on like this Bella. He is abusing you. I won't stand for it. I will make sure he doesn't hurt you… never again."

Bella knew that it was wrong. That Edward biting her and taking from her anything he wanted was bad. That wasn't what love was supposed to be like. But what was she meant to do now? She was so far gone at this point. She wasn't strong enough to be without Edward. "I can't leave him." Her voice quivered.

"We can help." Rosalie said softly.

Bella looked at Jasper. "You did… that's right." She didn't know how she forgot that.

Damon heard Renee's low moan upstairs and he flashed away instantly. His attention was being divided and he hated to leave the situation with Bella undone, but Renee needed to drink Elena's blood to complete her transition.

Bella heard her mom and dad's voices, she looked over at Klaus. "Mom is awake." She got to her feet. "Don't hurt him." She warned Klaus and flashed out of the parlor.

Klaus was stunned seeing Bella move so fast. "Wait."

"The magic broke. Her vampire side isn't dormant anymore." Kol explained.

Jasper frowned. "I missed a hell of a lot. What happened?"

"Bella's biological father is Damon Salvatore. Her mother is a werewolf. Renee triggered her gene and Klaus gave her his blood, snapped her neck and now she's about to become the second hybrid known in existence. Earlier, Bella shattered the magical hold on her vampire side because the only way she was conceived was through magic. Now she has to drink human blood to complete her own transition." Kol gave the shortened version.

Klaus looked at Elijah. "She became a vampire by magical means." He stated.

Elijah was quiet a moment and then it hit him. "Oh."

"Oh what?" Stefan asked, joining in on the conversation now.

"She's an original." Kol said. "Well, she's not like… our version of the original. But she was created the same way, which means she can't die the same way any of you can." He motioned to Stefan, Jasper and Caroline.

Jasper sat up more on the couch and rotated his shoulder. "Doesn't that make her a hybrid? Her mom's a wolf."

Kol made a hmm sound. "Only if she triggered her gene. Then she would be a hybrid. Oddly though, she would likely be a better hybrid than dear ol Klaus here."

Klaus growled at his brother. "Don't push it Kol."

Kol smirked a little. "In any case. She needs blood. Human blood."

Elena finally found her voice. "Use mine. I'm the only human here. I… I want to help her. She's been through too much." She said her dark eyes looking around the room.

"I gave her a ring." Kol said. "It will protect her once she transitions, but let's hope she doesn't have to trigger her wolf gene any time soon."

Renee, Damon and Bella made it downstairs. They heard everything everyone was talking about, but everyone shifted their attention to the three of them. "She drank Elena's blood." Bella said with a nod.

Renee looked around. Things were more vibrant. She could hear super well and she was enthralled with the feeling. "I'm fine." She said with a nod. "I feel… normal but…"

"Everything around you seems clearer… better." Jasper said and Renee nodded. "Renee… it's good to see you."

"Likewise Mr. Whitlock." Renee said with a smile.

Bella went to Klaus, her hands going up and framing his face, forcing him to look at her. "Look at me."

Klaus stared down at Bella. There was a mixture of emotions going through him right now. He was so angry. Angry at Bella getting hurt. Angry that she had to endure Edward Cullen and Alice Cullen. He wanted to kill all of the Cullens, but Jasper was here and Bella had made him save him. Renee was a hybrid, the first of her kind and now Bella, his sweet Bella… was transitioning to a vampire because the magic bond that held her vampire side at bay, was broken. "Bella."

"It's okay. I'm okay. Edward… he's the villain of this story. As is Alice. Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie? They have nothing to do with what happened to me. They're the ones that saved me. If not for them… then I would be trapped still by that darkness. Find it in yourself, to control your rage. I'm okay." She reassured him.

Klaus's eyes faded back to the ocean blue and he sucked in a breath, tears slipping down his face. The hybrid retreated. "I… I love you."

"I love you too." Bella murmured and kissed him softly. "My mom is okay now. Jasper… he's okay now." She said and then she looked around the room. "What you saw… my memories. I'm sorry, no one should have to witness that. I didn't mean… I didn't mean to project them like that. They came out and you all bore witness to the horror I endured. But, I want to say I am okay. I am healing. I'm not fragile." She said, looking at Elijah and Klaus mostly. "I can stand on my own two feet. I get scared sometimes… I get anxious. I can't fix that over night, but I don't want you all to feel sorry for me. Don't… don't pity me. It took me a long time to realize that Edward… that he wasn't what love was. I was afraid that he would never come back, and now… I fear that he's come back. I don't need protection, but… I do understand that you want to." She looked Damon for that one. "I'm going to be okay."

Damon swallowed and nodded. "Bella…"

"I'm okay daddy." Bella said, her voice soft. She went to him and she hugged him, her head against his chest.

Damon's arms came around her securely, blanketing her like a father would do.


[One Week Later]


Bella was adjusting to being a vampire full time. She completed her transition and while she was stronger now, that didn't meant that she wasn't vulnerable. Jasper made a full recovery and after a few days of convincing, Klaus let it go and understood that Jasper had no idea what was happening to Bella until the end. What he didn't understand is why they didn't just kill Edward.

"I work for Caius Voltaire." Jasper said as he walked beside Klaus into a building in Mckinney. He was wearing a nice pair of dress pants, a white button up shirt, his blond hair was combed neatly and tucked behind his ear. "I know you're familiar with the Volturi."

Klaus nodded as he looked at his watch. "Yes, I know who they are. I don't care about them. Why do you work for them?" He asked as he pushed a button for the elevator.

"I was sent to investigate Carlisle Cullen." Jasper said. "I had to be careful with how I did things. Take on an animal diet, pretend to be a cold one. If I slipped up, compulsion." He said and followed Klaus onto the elevator.

"Mhm. And Emmett and Rosalie?"

"They're… cold ones, but I have a way to turn them."

Klaus looked at Jasper, raising a brow. "You can turn a cold one into a vampire."

"Well. Magic." Jasper said and stuck his hand in his pocket. "I'm… a siphon vamp."

Klaus hit the emergency stop on the elevator and turned and looked at Jasper fully. "You're telling me that you didn't kill Edward because you work for Italian vampires and you kept your cover so you could protect two cold vampires because of what? Family? You let Bella-"

"I didn't let her anything. Emmett and Rose told Edward that they would turn him into the Volturi. He would have to answer to them if he didn't leave Bella. He left her. I would not have let him harm her. I made sure she made it back home to her house and I kept my cover because that is my job. I care about Bella."

"Careful." Klaus growled. "She is my imprint. The love of my life and I you're lucky that you're important to Bella or you'd be dead right now."

Jasper nodded. "Yes, I would be. You saved me. I get that. I'm forever grateful." He said sarcastically. "You don't have to like me. You don't have to agree with my methods, but you will listen to me."

Klaus's temper flared. "I don't answer to-" he dropped to his knees on the elevator floor his head exploding over and over again. "What-"

"I'm a siphon… vampire." Jasper said coolly. He squatted down so he could be eye level with Klaus. "I may not be able to kill you, but I am strong. The werewolf was a surprise, I won't let that happen again. I will protect Bella, with my life. Because I care about her. She is like a little sister to me. Don't put filthy thoughts in your head. I would never look at Bella that way, because I… now listen closely because I will only say this once. I do not have those kinds of feelings for a woman like her. She is the closest thing I have to family. You understand?" He said then leaned up and released his hold on Klaus.

Klaus panted a little, but he got to his feet, straightening himself. "Fine." He muttered and then hit the button on the elevator to make it move again. "I don't like you."

"Good." Jasper said and looked at his phone. "I don't like you either. We just have to work together." He said and then stepped off the elevator when they got to the floor they were going to. He came with Klaus today because he needed to talk to him. He could care less about what Klaus was doing here at a business meeting.
