Writer's Notes:Thank you everyone for your reviews! I decided a third update was needed today. So enjoy! As always I appreciate all of you! Don't forget to follow, favorite and review!!


Bella walked down the sidewalk with Elena. Winter was in full swing and it looked like the sky would spit snow at any moment. As a vampire, the cold didn't affect her, but she stayed bundled anyways. School was out for the winter break and Bella was thankful. It was exhausting mentally to keep up with school and everything else that was going on in her life. Another week went by since she became a full vampire. She felt different, having strength that she didn't have before. It was an adjustment.

"How's it been… having three boyfriends?" Elena ventured to ask. She opened the door to a dress shop. Even though it was winter break, it didn't stop the winter ball from taking place. It was a Mystic Falls thing and they needed dresses for the ball.

Bella smiled a little. "Well. It's not easy."

"I don't know how… you do it. Does it get confusing?"

"All the time. I felt connected to Klaus first of course. I'm his imprint." Bella said and sighed. "I was in a bad place when I first met him. It was hard for anyone to touch me."

Elena and Bella walked around the shop looking at the dresses as the girls talked. "Then Elijah. I felt this weird… sizzling connection. It's hard to explain, but we found out we're mates."

"Does that trump being an imprint for Klaus?" Elena asked.

"Not exactly. Though Elijah and me are connected on different levels. He was the first one I was intimate with." Bella said and blushed. "Sorry… I don't know why I told you that."

Elena smiled. "Because we're friends and friends talk about boys." She said and looked at a black dress that shimmered all the way to the ground. "Try this one." She said and gave it to Bella.

Bella took the dress and looked it over. "It's pretty. I need sleeves and a shawl." She said and they hunted for those things. Elena picked out a blue dress for herself and they went to the dressing rooms and they started changing.

"What about Kol? To me… he's the hot one." Elena admitted.

Bella laughed a little. "Kol… is intense. He's…" Bella paused as she thought about Kol. The last couple weeks were interesting, spending time with all the MIkaelson brothers but Kol, he was never afraid to touch her. Elijah was careful not to trigger her and Klaus was the same way. Kol, he didn't seem to be afraid. "Kol… um."

"Makes you feel different." Elena said from her stall.

Bella smiled. "You can say that."

"How's the sex with him? I bet it's pretty amazing." Elena said. "Oh. I'm sorry, this is uncomfortable isn't it. You-"

"Not at all. It's okay. I like that you're not treating me like I'm fragile. I'm not… not anymore." Bella said and looked at herself in the mirror. Even though she was a vampire, the scars on her body from Edward and Alice's assault, still haunted her. "I haven't had sex with Kol… yet." She said and then she slid the dress on.

Elena smiled. "Well, in any case. Kol seems like he makes you happy. They all do."

"They do. I just wish that Elijah and Klaus wouldn't treat me like I'm about to break any moment. Since everyone got to see my memories front and center stage, Elijah and Klaus haven't wanted to touch me. And I know that it's odd to say, but I miss sex." She blew out a breath. "I don't think I would ever hear myself say that." She said and opened the door and walked out at the same time Elena did. She zipped up Elena's dress for her and she turned and Elena zipped hers.

Elena saw the crescent scars all over her back and her arms, but she didn't say anything. She smiled at Bella when she turned. "Here is your shawl." She handed Bella the black shawl that matched the dress, Bella pulled on the long black silk gloves that came up and covered her bicep. "You look gorgeous." She said with a smile.

Bella twirled a little then looked in the three mirrors that you could stand on and see yourself from different angles. "I feel pretty."

"Good." Elena said with a smile and stepped up and posed with Bella in the mirrors. The two girls laughed with each other. It was certainly a sight to see, Bella laughing and smiling, feeling so free.


Bella made it back to the manor. Elijah and Klaus were gone, but Kol was in the parlor, reading a book. "Oh. I didn't know you'd be here. I wanted to keep my dress here for the winter ball thing that Caroline is forcing me to go to." She said, holding up a bag.

Kol smiled. "Ah, the winter ball. It's being hosted here. Smart choice." He took the dress from her and set it on the chair and turned to face her. "You seem better. I thought you were allergic to shopping."

"Hmm. Well, it was with Elena. So, it was actually fun for me." Bella said and that was the truth.

Kol just nodded and walked towards her, his hands sliding to her hips. He pulled her to him with a short jolt and his mouth covered hers, kissing her deeply immediately.

Excitement filled Bella as Kol kissed her. Her hands wound up, gripping his shoulders as his kiss stole her breath away. When Kol pulled back he was smiling at her. "The things I want to do with you." Kol murmured.

Bella blushed a little and bit her lip. Kol brought a hand up, his thumb rolling over her lip before he was kissing her again, his hands roaming over her body. She kissed him back, using her vamp speed to move him towards the wall in the parlor, pushing him up against it as she kissed him back, her tongue tangling with his.

Kol smiled against her lips. He hooked two fingers through the loop on her jeans and pulled her against him as he leaned against the wall. He could tell she was wanting more than just kissing. "Bella." He said and brought the kissing to a stop.

"What… what's wrong?" Bella was confused.

"Nothing is wrong. Just, the first time we have sex, it's not going to be here in the parlor."

"Oh." Kol reached up and cupped her chin. "We can keep doing this though." He murmured and kissed her deeply, taking his time with the kiss, slowing it down, dragging it out. It sent shivers through Bella when he slowed it down. It sent thrills through her arousing her. Kol would be lying if he said he wasn't turned on by her. By her body. By the level of intimacy it took to truly be with a person. His soul called for hers and it wanted her. Bad.

Bella moaned a little against his lips and she pulled away from the kiss. "Kol…"she said his name breathlessly.

"Bella, I have desires that aren't the same as my brothers. I won't be gentle. I'm not the type." Kol said to her, but he reached up and tucked her hair behind her ear gently.

"I'm not afraid." Bella said, her blue eyes were bright, eager.

Kol studied her and nodded. "Okay." He said and kissed her softly before he took her hand and led her out of the parlor up the stairs to his room. He shut the door behind them. He unbuttoned the top three buttons of his shirt and nodded to the bed. "Go. Get on the bed."

Bella went and sat on the bed, waiting for what would be next.

"I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to do. I want to make that clear. All you have to do is tell me to stop and I will. I have incredible control Bella. I won't hurt you." Kol promised.

Bella nodded, biting her lip. "What… what is it you like to do?"

Kol smiled and he went over to a dresser and opened one of the drawers and he took out some straps and harness looking thing. "Are you familiar with what BDSM is?"

Bella blushed a little. She had read a couple books that mentioned it and she would be lying if it wasn't something that fascinated her. It was before Edward abused her, but she recalled what it was. "I do."

"I like to… tie or bind the women I sleep with. And don't worry, I only ever plan on sleeping with you Bella, for eternity." Kol said, still smiling.

"Okay. And this contraption… does it hurt?"

"Not if it's done right." Kol said and walked over to her. He set the straps on the bed and then he pulled at her shirt, pulling it over her head. He saw her scars, the white crescents that were glittered a little. He traced a couple of the scars, his fingers light, like a feather. "You are strong." He murmured. "You endured a lot of pain at the hands of a cold one. You are brave… you're alive and you're healing at your own pace." He said and then he knelt down on the ground in front of her. "You are exquisite Bella. Every part of you. Even the scars you carry."

"You don't… treat me like I'm fragile…"Bella murmured.

Kol smiled. "Because you're not fragile." He said and then his hands moved over her legs, tugging at her pants, slipping them off so she was in her bra and panties. He reached up behind her, unsnapping her bra with ease, so her breast fell, plump in front of his face. Next was her panties. He slid them off, tossing them in the floor with her other clothes. "I'm going to tie you up, if you want it to stop, tell me."

Bella bit her lip and nodded. She was excited to see where this went with Kol.

Kol took the straps, he looped them around her wrists and her ankles then he anchored it to the bed. He pulled on the strap and it made her legs spread apart, wide so she was completely vulnerable to Kol now. Her arms were bond above her head and she waited, watching Kol as he unbuttoned the rest of his shirt and let it fall to the floor. He had a couple scars. Crescent marks that surprised Bella.

"You've been bit before."

Kol nodded. "I have."

"But you didn't heal."

"Because the venom is the only thing that can mark our bodies." Kol said and then he moved back to the dresser. He opened the top drawer and took out an object. He showed it to Bella. "This isn't very big, but I'm going to show you a new kind of pleasure. Do you trust me?"

Bella nodded, and watched him come back to the bed. The object was black, it wasn't very big and she wondered what he was doing with it, but she remained eager for everything Kol was introducing her to. Kol put the object in his mouth, sucking it gently before he hovered over her on the bed. She felt him insert it in her ass and she gasped at the feeling. It was different. She didn't hate the invasion just yet, but she stayed quiet. Kol smiled at her before his mouth covered her breast, suckling on her nipple making her moan out. His tongue wrapped around, swirling and dancing making her more and more aroused. He took a hand, moving it down over her body to her clit. She was already so wet, waiting for him to pleasure her. His hand moved quickly, the pressure inside her building. He stopped, leaning up to look down at her. He quickly took off his pants, so he was just as exposed as she was, before his head took to between her thighs, his tongue playing with her cunt. Bella moaned as she climbed her climax. Kol took two fingers and he pushed inside her, stroking her from the inside while his mouth did all the work on the outside. She moaned again as she teetered on the edge of her pleasure before she gushed out and Kol drank her orgasm in.

"God! Kol!" She screamed out and she shuddered.

Kol leaned up, his hand stroking his cock as he heard her scream his name. "Mmm. Felt good?"

"God yes." Bella panted out. It was more than amazing. She didn't know why it felt so intense, but it was.

"Ready for more?"

"Please."

Kol unhooked her straps from the bed and he moved her to the closet door, the straps shifting up her legs and he hung her on the door, her legs open wide.

"Oh my." Bella gasped as the movement was sudden. Excitement filled her again as she anticipated what Kol wanted to do with her.

Kol's mouth moved over hers, his tongue mating with hers while his hands were free to roam over her body since the harness held her up against the door. His fingers toyed with her again and she moaned against his mouth. "I'm going to fuck you now." He murmured. "It's not gentle, but I'm not going to hurt you." He said again and she nodded. He pushed his cock inside her deep and she purred as he filled her. New sensations spiraled through her, good ones. It was like Kol knew exactly what her limits were. He responded to her body just like hers responded to his. They were both vampires, so the level of intensity felt greater somehow. And Bella realized that there was the difference. When she was human, she was more breakable physically, but now she was strong. She moaned more, the dark veins rippling under her eyes, her fangs popping out as she reached a new level of pleasure.

Kol kissed her, his tongue flicking over her fang, his own fangs showing as he thrust into her fast and deep.

Bella had every urge to just bite Kol, but she had never bit anything or anyone, so she refrained.

Kol moaned as he felt himself draw near his climax. His cock swelled with his own pleasure. He moved his mouth from hers to look her in the face. "You can bite me… Bella, I can tell you want to."

Bella moaned when she felt herself orgasm again, and she sunk her fangs into Kol's neck. She tasted his blood on her tongue and it tasted amazing. It was different from human blood, but it excited her. She moved her mouth away and she gasped when her orgasm kept rolling over her.

Kol heard the bedroom door open and knew that Klaus and Elijah were back, but he didn't care about that right now. He kept thrusting inside Bella until he felt himself cum. His cock exploding inside her, dousing her completely. She moaned as she felt him orgasm. They were both panting from exertion but Kol crushed his mouth to Bella's again, kissing her deeply while his hands released the straps and she was able to stand on two feet.

Bella hadn't realized Klaus and Elijah walked in and she blushed immediately, seeing their stunned faces.

Kol ran a hand through his hair, still not looking at either of his brothers. He only looked at Bella. "One last thing." He murmured and his hands moved over her body going to her ass, squeezing her asscheek with one hand while he removed the butt plug with the other. She made an 'ooo' noise when he removed it and it made him smile. He kissed her again and moved away from her towards the dresser. "If you've lost your ability to speak, please do so not in my room." He said, looking at Klaus and Elijah.

Bella cleared her throat and went to retrieve her clothes from the floor. "Um. I'll… I'll be downstairs soon."

Klaus and Elijah walked out of the room and went downstairs in silence. When they got to the parlor, Klaus poured bourbon.

Elijah finally broke the silence. "I knew that… I knew that I wouldn't have a choice… with her being mated to Kol too, I just… I did not see myself witnessing any of that." He said and took the bourbon from Klaus.

Klaus felt angry inside, but he had managed to keep the hybrid stamped out. "He had her strapped to a door?" He shook his head and downed his own bourbon.

"Does he not care about what she's been through? He just-"

Bella came into the room, Kol behind her. "I've been through a lot. That's true. Edward raped me. Over and over again. He bit me, over and over again, taking from me. He broke me down until I was nothing." She shook her head. "It's been weeks since either of you have touched me. Since you saw all my memories, you both have been treating me like I'm some… fragile little girl and I'm not. I have desires. I have wants and needs."

"Yes, but we don't want to hurt you my love." Klaus said. "I'm-"

"You're afraid that I'm going to retreat into a shell and get stuck again." Bella said. "I'm not afraid to feel things Klaus. I'm not going to break. I'm not going to retreat. I'm facing my inner demons and I'm going to conquer them. Both of you need to stop walking around on eggshells afraid that I am going to shatter. I'm not." She said, her tone irritated.

Kol smirked a little and then kissed her temple before going to pour himself a drink. "Stop looking like you're little deer caught in headlights." He said to his brother.

Klaus ignored Kol and went to Bella, his hands running up her arms. "Why didn't you tell me you were unhappy? Bella, I would-"

"I'm not unhappy." Bella said and sighed. "I love you. So much. It's crazy to love you after only knowing all of you for… such a small amount of time. But I can feel the imprint inside. I know that we are meant to be together. Forever. I have no doubt in my mind. Just like I don't doubt Elijah and I don't doubt Kol. The three of you… you're my saving grace. I'm telling you that I'm not struggling anymore. I'm not afraid to live anymore. I want you to trust me when I say I'm okay." She reached up, framing Klaus's face with her hands. "Trust me. That's all I'm telling you to do."

Klaus studied her. He saw the fire in her. He nodded and then he kissed her before resting his forehead to hers. "Next time please put a sock on the door. Walking in seeing Kol with you… I… I don't know if I can see it again. I know I have to share you… I want what you want, but I need time to accept it all."

Bella nodded and then kissed him again before she turned and looked at Elijah. Elijah was always more reserved than the others. He was standing there, his hand in his pocket while he drank his bourbon. "Elijah…"

"Unlike Klaus, I don't get upset over things like this. I love you, you're my mate for life. I know that you're Kol's mate too, I'm not going to interfere. Perhaps the sock is a good idea." Elijah said and took another drink of bourbon.

Bella went to Elijah, her hands taking the glass from him and forced his other hand out of his pocket. She laced her fingers with his. "I love you." She told him simply then she tipped up and kissed him. Elijah kissed her back, one of his hands going to her waist out of habit.

A moment later Damon was walking into the parlor and it had Kol choking on his bourbon. It took a lot to surprise Kol and he was too caught up with Elijah and Klaus walking in on him and Bella that he didn't even hear Damon walk in.

Damon raised a brow at Kol. "Can't handle your whiskey?"

Bella felt the heat rise to her face and she turned into Elijah to hide her face and Elijah's arms came around her.

"What's wrong with her?" Damon asked, alarmed.

"Nothing." Klaus said. "You're continuous walking into my house like there's a revolving door is irritating Damon, so why are you here?"

"To talk about this." Damon said and handed a file folder to Klaus and walked over to the liquor cabinet where Kol was and helped himself to Klaus's bourbon.

Klaus opened the file and looked inside. "Emmett Cullen and Rosalie Hale."

Bella turned away from Elijah. "Rose and Em? What about them?"

"Emmett Cullen used to be Emmett McCarty. He was turned in 1935 in the Smokies. Carlisle Cullen turned him. He turned Rosalie Hale as well. Rosalie Hale was turned in 1933. She was engaged to another man, but then… it appears that she was left for dead after being brutally-"

"She was gangraped." Bella interrupted Klaus. Her icy eyes looked over at Damon. "Rose and Em are good people. They never hurt me. Rosalie told me that what Edward was doing wasn't love. If it wasn't for them, I would… be lost to Edward still." She reminded everyone.

Klaus nodded and looked back at the file. "In any case. Emmett has super strength and Rosalie has enhanced beauty, like a charm. It's a cold one's version of our compulsion. Jasper said that he found a way to turn them into vampires like us."

Bella perked up. "Wait, when did you talk to Jasper?"

"Few weeks ago when he tried to explode my mind." Klaus muttered. "He's a siphon vamp." He said with a wave of his hand. "It doesn't matter. He said he found a way, I can only assume he's going to try and turn them with magic."

"Why did he try to explode your mind?" Bella asked.

"He probably deserved it." Damon made a hmph sound.

Klaus growled at Damon. "Mind your tongue."

"Dad, Klaus. Stop!" Bella said and sighed. "I know you hate each other, but stop."

Damon and Klaus glanced at each other, before Klaus looked back at the file. "Jasper said that he worked for Caius Voltaire."

Kol perked up at the name. "Ah. Caius Voltaire. I can only imagine that Jasper was doing work for Caius to spy on the Cullens."

"How do you know?" Damon asked, furrowing his brows.

"Because. Caius Voltaire hates Carlisle Cullen. He doesn't like his lifestyle and he believes that Carlisle is trying to cure vampirism." Kol stated and then downed all his bourbon. "Before you ask how I know, it's because I pay attention, brother. I've also been to Italy far more than you."

Klaus closed the file. "But why work for a cold one? We are superior to them."

"What if Rose and Em aren't the only two he's trying to change?" Elijah asked. "Bella, do you know anything else about Jasper?"

"Ask me yourself." Jasper said, walking into the parlor.

Klaus rolled his eyes. "Again, not a revolving door. There is a doorbell."

"It doesn't work." Damon and Jasper said at the same time.

It made Bella smile when her dad and Jasper spoke at the same time. "Hey Jazz."

"I'm sorry I've been missing in action darlin'. I met up with Rose and Em. They're staying in Mystic Falls now. They-"

"Why didn't you bring them here?" Bella interrupted.

Jasper raised a brow then looked over at Klaus and then back at Bella. "Because I'm protecting them from him." He motioned to Klaus.

"I'm not going to kill them." Klaus said with a sigh. "Bella wishes that no harm befall them, so be it. I won't kill or maim… or torture them."

"Mhm." Jasper said and looked at Elijah. "I have a brother. Peter Whitlock. He was turned into a cold one before I was turned into what I am. I want him to be like me for obvious reasons. I took the job for Caius Voltaire to get the information I need to change Pete." He explained.

Damon shook his head. "Why are you so familiar?" He murmured.

Jasper looked over at Damon. "Because I was part of the confederacy like you." He said. "Major Jasper Whitlock." He said it simple.

Damon remembered then. "Oh."

"I knew you'd remember eventually." Jasper said and turned his attention to Elijah. "I have the information I need to help my brother. After 70 years with the Cullens, I grew attached to Rosalie and Emmett. They are good people. They don't deserve to be held under Carlisle's thumb any longer, which is why I brought them back with me. Edward is at large, and so is Alice. Like I said. I lost Edward back in Alabama when I got attacked by the werewolf. Carlisle and Esme are still in Washington. Esme is oblivious to all of this. She has no clue that Edward is deranged. He hasn't come to Mystic Falls… yet, but I want to be ready for him. He's faster than most cold ones. He also reads minds. Every mind."

"Except mine." Bella said. "He can't read my mind. He never could. We didn't know why back then, but… it's possible it was the magic binding my vampire side."

Kol cleared his throat. "He likely can't read an original vampire's mind either. We were born of magic, not blood. He won't be able to anticipate our movements." He said. "Don't fear. Bella is heavily protected though I would wager that Bella is strong enough now to put Edward in his place."

"No." Klaus said. "I don't want him near her. Ever again. Even if she is strong enough, I will rip him apart and set him on fire. He won't hurt her ever again. He won't get close enough to even try."

That was something that Elijah and Damon could agree with Klaus on. Even Jasper nodded his agreement.

"But, we have other problems. Katherine Pierce. Does she mean anything to any of you?" Jasper asked.

Klaus sighed and Damon groaned.

"She is the literal bane of my existence." Damon said angrily. "What has she done now? Why isn't she dead yet?"

"She has… an item that we need to turn cold ones into regular vampires."

"You're fucking joking." Klaus said.

Jasper shook his head. "I wish I was."

Damon just growled. "She just keeps coming back. First Renee and Caroline, now what is her game?"

"I'm not sure what game she's playing, but she likes to manipulate and bargain." Elijah said. "We can bargain with her."

"What do we have that she wants?"

"Her freedom." Bella said. "Klaus, you've hunted her for centuries. Maybe giving her your word that you will cease fire… she'll give up the item Jazz needs then she'll disappear and leave us all alone."

Klaus snorted. "It's never that simple with Katherine Pierce."

"It's worth a try." Bella reasoned.

Klaus looked at Jasper, studying him a moment. "This item. Is there only one of these items in the entire world?"

Jasper was quiet a moment. "It's a special stone."

"It's always a fucking stone." Damon cursed.

"It's infused with blood of many witches. It holds the most magic." Jasper continued.

"And you're going to siphon all that magic to turn your family into regular vampires, because only a siphon vamp can contain that much magic in order to use it." Kol said and Jasper nodded. "Alright. Make the deal. Get the stone."

Klaus glared at Kol. "You don't care about what Katherine has done to us?"

"Correction. What she's done to you brother." Kol said. "If it wasn't for you, she would have died five hundred years ago like she was meant to as a human."

"Blaming me for-"

"Enough!" Bella yelled and shook her head. "It doesn't matter now. She's a vampire now and she has what we need. Make the deal. Give her, her freedom so Emmett, Rose and Pete can have theirs."

That was all there was to it. That's all that needed to happen for Jasper to get what he needed to save Peter, Emmett and Rosalie from the lives that haunted them as being cold vampires.
