Chapter 1

Bella's POV

I walked around the town of New Orleans taking in all the old buildings I was seeing. I was passing through to see my friend Marcel Gerard before I made my way home to Ipswich. I skipped towards the compound and walked through the gates. I saw two men in the middle fighting a bunch of the vampires. I smirked and leaned against the wall as I watched. I looked around and saw marcel watching from the second floor. I jumped up and shot over to him.

"Marcel! Starting a killing party without me? How dare you." I teased. He smiled and turned to me.

"Isabella. What brings you here?" He asked hugging me. I laughed and hugged him back.

"Passing through on my way home. But if you have started a war, I'd be happy to join." I said pulling back.

"The Original family has started it. They want to rein in, take back control." He said turning back to the fight. I looked around as the bodies dropped.

"Losing allies here Marcel. You need to stop them." I said.

"He won't do that darling." A British voice said. Marcel pushed me behind him.

'Klaus, she's not apart of this." He said.

"She's talking to you, then she is." Klaus said grinning.

"Oh, come on Marcel. I've come all the way here, the least you could do is give me a good fight." I said stepping around him.

"The girl agrees." Klaus said. I smirked and peeled off my leather jacket. I handed it to Marcel and turned to Klaus.

"Let's see what the Original Hybrid has to offer." I said popping my neck. He grinned and charged me. I flung him back with my powers. He hit the wall and fell to the floor. He got up growling and charged me again. I grinned and ran at him. I fought him every way he went. I threw him over the balcony and jumped down with him. I grabbed him by the neck and slammed into the ground.

"You vampires think you're the higher power." I growled at him. I kicked him across the courtyard into his other guy.

"Enough!" Marcel yelled. But the other vampires closed in on Klaus, me and the other guy in a suit. I flashed my eyes black, flung my hands out, and shot all except the two back.

"You all also don't listen." I said panting. I flung Klaus over my shoulder as he went to snap my neck. I twisted his arm then held out my hand to the other guy, freezing his feet to the ground.

"Wait your turn sweetheart." I said winking at him. I heard clapping and when I looked up, I saw Thierry. I laughed and went to him. I jumped in his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Thierry! So wonderful to see you!" I said happily.

"Bells! I have missed you!" He said hugging me tighter.

"Marcel who is this bitch?" Klaus asked angrily. I released Thierry and went back to Klaus.

"Keep it up Original and I will have your heart for dinner." I growled at him.

"You dare threaten me!" He yelled. I held out my hand and clenched my fist. He gasped and fell to his knees.

"I always come through with my threats." I hissed.

"Isabella, I said enough!" Marcel yelled at me. I huffed and shot back to Thierrys side. Marcel tossed me my jacket.

"Everyone leave! Now!" Marcel snapped. All the other vampires left the compound. He turned back to us.

"Well done baby girl." He said smiling at me.

"Do I get to be in charge now?" I teased.

"Yeah right." He scoffed.

"I am still stuck here." The guy beside Klaus said. I waved my hand and he was able to move.

"Who the bloody hell are you?" Klaus asked me. I smiled and stepped forward as I blacked my eyes.

"Your worst nightmare ever darling." I said giggling. He growled and flashed his wolf side at me. His guy put a hand on his shoulder.

"He's cute when he's angry." I said smirking.

"I'm sorry. But Marcel, who is this woman?" The suit man asked him.

"Klaus and Elijah Mikaelson, I'd like for you to meet Isabella or bella. Bells the Originals." Marcel said introducing us.

"I've always wanted to meet you. I'm actually glad I got to kick your ass for once." I said smirking at Klaus. He growled at me.

"Bells, stop taunting the vampire. Go get cleaned up." Marcel told me. I shrugged and walked towards the stairs but I got a tingling up my back. I stopped and turned towards the gates. A cold one ran in and headed for Marcel.

"NO!" I yelled. I ran and tackled them down to the ground. I threw the cold one into the wall. He hissed and charged me. I dodged his attacks like I did Klaus'. I growled when he bit my arm and threw him back. I fell to my knees in pain. The cold one smiled and charged me. I held my hand out and flashed my eyes black, he went up in flames.

"Bella!" Marcel and Thierry yelled. They fell beside me.

"It's the venom." I groaned.

"I'll do it." Thierry said grabbing my arm.

"Whats happening?" Elijah asked kneeling in front of me.

"A cold one bit her. The venom needs to be sucked out." Marcel explained.

"And if the venom doesn't get sucked out?" Klaus asked curiously. I looked up at him.

"I'll become your worst nightmare." I said grunting.

"More than you already are?" he asked smirking.

"Want to wait three days and find out?" I asked growling.

"No! T!" Marcel barked. Thierry bit down on my arm and started sucking the venom out. I sighed when I felt the burning leave my system. Thierry bit down harder making me gasp.

"T!" Marcel snapped. He jerked away panting.

"Bells. I am so sorry." He said gasping. I shook my head. I healed myself and went to stand up. My knees gave out and someones arms wrapped around me. I looked up at Elijah.

"Thanks." I told him. He nodded but still held on.

"T, take Bella to pick out a room. She needs her rest." Marcel said eyeing me and Elijah. I smirked and winked at him.

"Thank you Marcel." I said smiling. Elijah let me go and I went with Thierry to the stairs.

"Not my room!" Marcel yelled. I laughed and chose the room next to his. Thierry went and picked up my car and brought it back and brought up my bags. I dressed in a nightshirt and walked out to the balcony.

"Bells. How are feeling?" Marcel asked standing beside me.

"I am a little weak but nothing a good nights sleep won't help." I said shrugging.

"Good." He said nodding.

"Want to tell me why cold ones are in town?" I asked crossing my arms.

"I am not sure." He said shaking his head. I nodded and leaned my back against the railing.

"I'll stay for awhile and find out. We don't want the Volturi getting involved and sending the guard." I said.

"Thanks. Are you calling in reinforcements?" He asked looking around.

"Talking about the wolves or the Cullens?" I asked smirking.

"Wolves." He answered.

"I wasn't unless you want guard dogs." I said.

"Bring in two, and only two." He told me. I nodded and turned to the courtyard.

"Jake and Paul it is." I said. He put a arm around me.

"Make the call and get some rest." He said kissing my head. Then he was gone. I called the guys and went to get some sleep.
