Chapter Text
As me and the Cullens sat in the living room eating Thanksgiving dinner. (Or in their case faking eating thanksgiving dinner) Carlisle starts asking me questions about my life.
“So Bella, Edward here tells me that you guys have a project to work on in biology class together” I need my head,
“Yeah, it’s not really a project per se, more so a physical timeline of your family’s history.” I glance towards Edward to see him nod his head. Carlisle then goes on to ask me do I know how far my family’s history goes back. I once again nod my head,
“ I mean the beginning of my family’s history is a little wonky but I do know that most of my ancestors were wiped out due to the Salem Witch Trials-“ Just as those words leave my lips the entire table is instantly silent
“ The Salem witch trial’s?” Carlisle asks in which I reply,
“Yeah, is that a problem?” With a raised eyebrow. The entire table is quick to instantly say of course not. Which In cast I forgot to mention is red flag number one
“Yeah pretty much my family was wrongly accused of Witchcraft strictly because we were people of color in the racist state of Virginia” I finish with a hard stare at Carlisle
“Do you know what your families last name was, all them years ago?” Carlisle questions. A weird obsession with my family, Red flag number two
“ Yeah my family’s name was Bennett. In fact my great grandparents were Chris and Ayanna Bennett. One of the first of our family to reside in what is now know as Richmond” I recall fondly as I stare at Carlisle’s face. If it was possible for Cold ones to get even more pale.
“In fact Carlisle, if I remember correctly it was one of your ancestors who murdered mine. I Believe his name was Brock Cullen and his son was coincidentally named Carlisle as well.” If I had any doubts about who and what Carlisle was they were instantly lit up in flames when I saw the look of pure shock and fear upon Carlisle and his family’s faces. Boom! That officially makes three red flags and my night can finally come to a close. Just as Carlisle opened his mouth to speak, my phone started ringing I picked up without looking at the caller id
“Saved by the bell.” I whispered under my breath with a quick glance at Carlisle “Hello, Isabella Love” The caller says. I mumble a quick curse word under my breath before responding.
“Hello Nik, listen if this is about Kol and Finn coming down to visit me In forks tell them Im more than ready from them to come down.” Before I could finish my sentence Nik cuts me off,
“They’re dead” he practically whispered. That gives me pause and makes me do a double take. When I left M.F a few months ago they were alive and well what the hell happened in like six months and that’s exactly what I ask him,
“What the hell happened in the six months that I’ve been gone. Surely there was nobody stupid enough to even try to kill an ori-“ that’s when it dawns on me. Elena and her group of misfits were the only people on stupid enough to try and kill two original vampires without fear of repercussions.
“Elena” me and Klaus finish at the same time. Damn this girl lacks self preservation and common sense.
“Listen Klaus I don’t know what you called me for, surely you know I had nothing to do with this. And I know for a fact that the people under my protection are grateful to be under it and wouldn’t even attempt to do something so fucking idiotic.” I hear klaus release a small chuckle on the other line,
“ That’s right love, It was Elena and the Salvatore brother along with the stupid hunter who killed both of my brothers. For something as stupid as the so called cure to immortality.” Klaus finishes with a sigh, something he said bothers me,
“Klaus, now while I know you’re angry and I’m not saying you don’t have the right to be angry I just want you to think about a few things.” I can hear Klaus release an angry breath on the other line,
“Like what Love? What could I possibly have to think about” Now I’m starting to get impatient,
“ The people I have under my protection. Namesake, Richard, Carol, Masen and a freshly turned Tyler. Jenna Sommers, and Caroline and Elizabeth Forbes. And that’s just to name a few” I say slyly, again I’m rewarded with a small chuckle,
“Don’t worry those few people and the innocents from Mystic Falls are the only ones safe from me. I am curios though are you not going to plead for the remaining Gilbert’s and Salvatore’s safety?” I make a sound in the back of my throat,
“Please what good would pleading do I know if anybody hurt or killed one of my siblings there will be nowhere and no one on this earth who would be safe from me, all parties and involved would be eradicated from earth. I would in their pitiful existence with no care in the world. also, Damon raped my little sister Caroline, and I have a problem with that, Stefan oh sweet innocent Stefan knew about it and let it happen so did innocent Elena so I don’t owe those people anything. The only thing Jeremy did was help his Big sister out.” I say with a shrug of my shoulder’s” ”My problem with Jeremy was that he cheated on my little sister with the ghost, that was disrespectful and that is why I’m not bargaining for his or anybody else’s safety. How do you cheat on somebody with the ghost? I’ve never heard of that in all my day's”
Klaus laughs off my previous statement. “Also, you need to find a way to get in contact with your sister Rebekah, because the cure is honestly a sham. My ancestor Qestiyah made the cure so that way when Silas would eventually be awaken, he would be fooled to drink the cure in order to reunite with his one true love Amara. But instead he would age rapidly and die to pass on to the other side if Rebekah drinks that she is going to age rapidly and die in less than 10 minutes flat. I would advise you to tell her to not drink that and to wait for me to come up with a way to fix her infertility problem. Get back to me when you find a way to bring Finn and Kol back to life as well as Sage.” He lets out a low whistle,
“ Damn, you’ve been at women are nothing but Vengeful and cunning. how do you suppose she knew that one day he would arisen?” Sometimes I wonder if he’s a little slow
“ Hm, probably the same way a bunch of idiots are going to wake up 2000 year-old crazy warlock they don’t even know simply because of a so-called cure to immortality. That’s probably how she knew because of idiots like Elena and the Salvatore brothers.” Once again he lets out a low chuckle
“And how do you suppose I handle these immature children, sweetheart?” I close my eyes deep in thought
“Hm, Drain them of vervain and compel them to forget everything and anything they know about Silas Qetsiyah and the cure then as a safety Measure, kill him, take that cure and shove it down his throat and rip his heart out, and then the hunter will faithfully disappear and eventually there will be no memories of hunters be no reason for them anymore. Because Silas has been killed” I finish with a small smile. Finally my ancestors would be at peace knowing that Silas has been taken care of and eliminated,
“ And tell me, sweetheart, do you believe that if I take a fellow witch like Bonnie down to channel Silas magic into stones we can use said magic to bring my brothers back, preferably as warlock this time.” I never thought of that but I suppose that would work.
“ I suppose that would work Nik, but what you would need to do is bring them back as vampires and reinstate them with Silas’s magic doing a simple transforming spell by taking 2000 year-old magic from one person and splitting it into two, using Mikaelson blood to bind and change said magic into Mikaelson magic and then any leftover magic that you have from Silas put back into those little stones, put in a small box and keep them safe for me. Now about the act of simply bringing them back to life, you need a witch, preferably Bonnie to channel said magic to bring your brothers back and also to help with the transforming spell and then you need a powerful witch again, preferably Bonnie to help them learn control that magic that they haven’t had an over millennium. Now if you don’t wish for your siblings to die in about 60 years, I would advise you to link their life to either yours or one of your siblings. If Rebekah wishes to become an immortal witch as well contact me and I’ll figure out a way. But do not use the leftover magic in those stones or allow anybody to take them. Those will be used along with something I have in my possession for a problem not yet foreseen” I finish with a long sigh,
“ Well love thank you for your wonderful and wise counsel, but I believe now it’s time for me to go find your sister in order for me to find mine. I’ll contact you if there’s any more problems.”
“No problems Niki Pooh, Love ya and happy thanksgiving baby.” He returns the same and wishes me good luck and hangs up.
I release a deep breath,” You go on a short vacation and all of a sudden life turns to shit.” I whisper to my self
Time to make plans I think to myself, next thing I know I’m calling Charlie to make sure he’s coming to Virginia with me, and of course he is, he would be a fool to miss an opportunity with Liz. Then I’m booking flights and making reservations at hotels. Ten minutes later we are all ready for our flight tomorrow morning.
I push my chair back and suddenly stand up,
“Listen I’m sorry to cut this short but apparently I’m needed back on the home front. So this has been nice but I’m gonna have to leave” I don’t give them an opportunity to say anything as I grab my things and rush out the door. Just as I reach the front door Carlisle calls out to me,
“All those years ago were your family really witches” Carlisle asked interested, I glance over my shoulder and say,
“Happy thanksgiving Carlisle, I’m sorry about the loss of your mother I know she and you father misses you everyday.” With one last wink in his direction I close the door and run to the end of the street where my father is waiting for me.
Time to go bring some Originals back to life.
