I never thought I would end up here today with my mate in bed, watching her sleep peacefully while Elijah is downstairs watching over Jasper. If you ever asked me before a week ago that I would have a mate before I met her, I would have never believed you, in fact I didn’t really know what mates before I met Bella. I know that I wouldn’t change anything from my past- the pain, the lost, and the suffering- that has led me to the path that meets with hers.
When I saw Bella that first day when she was going through her house to make changes to it, I thought that she was the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on, which was quite an accomplishment considering how long I have been alive. I knew that I would have to get her in my bed at least once just by looking at her.
I knew that my humanity was coming out more and more- albeit a little slowly- since I had met Elena but I didn’t expect the outright of emotions when I finally had hearing her voice for the first time. It was the most beautiful voice I have had the pleasure of hearing and I never wanted her to stop talking, her voice like silk surrounding me from my perch as a bird in a tree.
I would spend most of my time by her home while contractors doing renovations to her home, hoping that she would stop by sometime so I could look at her again but she never came and I would have looked through her windows to see all of what the contractors were to the house. The next time he came over, all the windows were covered and I couldn’t look in, I couldn’t even compel them to tell me what was going on because one of the contractors made the rest of them drink vervain, how he even knew to drink it, I’ll never know.
I would always get asked by my brother, Saint Stefan, where I was going to all the time, wanting to know everything that is going on in the lives around him but I would just leave the him and fly back to the plantation where I would resume to my perch on the tree that was closest to her home and stay for a few hours before leaving and coming back again, always coming back. I started to think I was becoming obsessed with the littlest things that belong to her but I would never admit it to anyone in the slightest.
Two weeks passed and she still hasn’t shown up in Mystic Falls and I started to pull away from everyone little bit each day until they started to notice that I was leaving them more than usual and started to nag at me as to where I would always be going, so instead of answering them I got up and went up to my bedroom hoping that none of them followed me. Most people know that luck was almost never on my side, so when someone did follow me, I wasn’t surprised and that someone happened to be Elena, the one person that could get out of me as to why I keep on leaving them at the time.
I loved Elena, I still do love her but just not like it was before. I was willing to do almost anything at the time for her but she wouldn’t see past all the killing that I have done, some of those killings have even been for her, to protect her but she still didn’t like it especially when Stefan hasn’t really killed anyone, not really willing to get his hand ‘dirty’ so that he can keep on be a ‘saint’ to Elena’s eyes. It also didn’t help that she didn’t exactly approve of my diet, so I changed it from drinking human blood from the source to only blood bags- which I have done before but have drank from a human occasionally because let’s face it, blood bags are not as good as drinking straight from a human- which in this case brought her closer to me but didn’t really do anything in the matter for she was in a love induced haze that was Stefan. In this case was a good thing because I would have been fighting for my feelings for Bella if I was with Elena when I meet her.
After Elena had come into my room and shut the door, she started to complain on what she THOUGHT I was doing when I left them every day- to what she thought I was hooking up with frat girls which would have been true before I laid eyes on Bella, who I didn’t know the name of at the time- and that I should stop it. After she was done rambling, she tried to use the love I told her I had for her and tried to basically force me to stay with her, her friends, and my brother and stop running off, which resulted in me telling her to get out of my room and to never come in there again because I don’t take to kindly on people ordering me around, never have really if I thought about it. Elena stood stock still for a few minutes as if she couldn’t believe that I said that, let alone to her when I told her recently that I loved her- which really blew me off too because I couldn’t really believe I said it either- before she huffed and walked out of my room, slamming my door in the process.
I stayed in my room for a while after that, only coming out to get a blood bag, ignoring everyone in the living room in the process and receding back to my room after I got one. That didn’t last long before I got bored of just laying there staring at the ceiling when nothing else would hold my interest, so I decided to leave through my french doors leading out to the balcony in full view of the forest beyond.
I was running through the town wondering what I should do when I realized where I was heading towards, my mystery woman’s- Bella- home and froze in the middle of the square of Mystic Falls, thinking if I should really head over there when I have been the past two weeks of the same thing. After some deliberation I decided to go to her house, or plantation if you really thought about it. I stayed there for a quarter of the day before going to find Elena and her friends to hang around with so they could back off some and after going back to my room for the night.
This pattern lasted for another two weeks when something new finally came up, although it wasn’t much a difference, I was glad to be doing something else so I wouldn’t have to be near the scooby doo gang like I have been doing every day to get them off my back. A Council meeting isn’t exactly new per say but new none the less from the routine I have started to inhabit. Though at times it is nice to be with them but I would prefer to be at the bar, having some shots with Alaric or going by the plantation in my bird form and sitting on my perch in the tree, watching and waiting for the mystery woman to finally to arrive.
I get to the Council meeting but I have to wait for another half an hour before we start the meeting because Mayor Lockwood was running a late. Surprising really considering that she always loves to be punctual no matter what unless something important popped up in the last minute.
Waiting in the Council meeting for 23 minutes while the rest of the members do small talk- which I wanted no part of- I am left alone for my thoughts again to think about what this meeting could possible be about. It has been boring at best for the last few weeks after all the drama that was going on before but no vampire business of any kind has been going on, no strange killings or disappearance. I really didn’t think that this meeting was really necessary because nothing has been happening.
When Mayor Lockwood finally arrived and started the Council meeting, she just sat down and Liz stood up and started talking about how my mystery woman- she refused to give out her name, believing that we should go and meet her before we get to know her name, getting me slightly annoyed- would be moving within a week to the Moutin plantation that we have been taking care of before she came along and to not tell her anything about what this council really is until the time is right.
I grew excited that I would finally be able to see my mystery woman and wouldn’t have to wait much longer to meet her. I couldn’t wait to meet her face to face in person for the first time and imagine how it would go but I knew by just looking at her it might not be easy to get what I want, I would be to up to the challenge.
Instead of going back to the plantation or with the gang, I decided to get out of town for a day or two so I could get some fresh blood without getting caught or in trouble for it. God forbid that I couldn’t keep my control as much as Stefan, which always ends up pissing me off when comparing me to him and making me want to do it all over again.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to not have a brother to be compared to but then I think all the hardships we both have been through and how much I really do love my brother even though he could be a complete dick, and couldn’t really imagine what would have been like to be a only child. Even though our father would favor Stefan and showed him more love, I loved him but for that Stefan got used to getting his way. I wouldn’t really want it any other way though.
I usually love it when I run, and for that I ran all the way to Kentucky before I stopped so I could find my first human to drink out of. As I started to drink from my first meal I think of the last month where I would always go to the Moutin plantation. I find it strange that I am always there pretty much refuse to leave, just wait and watch for her to finally come, though I would never admit to anyone about that.
I stay in Kentucky for the next 2 days partying and drinking from humans when I can, getting a little closer to Virginia each time I would go for another hunt or club, so by midnight of the second day I was stepping into Virginia soil. As soon as I saw the sign saying welcome to Virginia, I sobered up somewhat and decided to go to a motel and sleep my hangover out before I go back to Mystic Falls to face the music.
When I finally got to the boarding house the next morning, I finally turned on my phone which I had previous turned off, to see 8 missed calls and 23 missed messages to which all said where was I and to come back. I just stepped into my room, put my phone on silent and throwing it onto my bed before I went to take a shower.
After I was dressed I grabbed my keys to my precious 1969 chevy camaro convertible and went out to find everyone. As it turned out, I didn’t have to look for then because the first place I checked was the place they were at. I headed towards the bar to get something to drink before I turned towards the gang that had turned silent the moment I walked in and I downed my whiskey. I asked for a scotch next before I headed to the table everyone was at, getting ready for their questioning.
They all started to question me at once about where I have been the past two days but I just stayed silent until they all quieted down, before just stating that I was out to clear my head and sat down while finishing my drink. After a lapse in conversation, Elena speaks up to say that we should get ready before we leave to go to Duke by this afternoon. I sigh before I nod and get up, saying that I would meet up with them later.
We didn’t find anything at Duke, which in my opinion was a complete waste of my time and got me a little annoyed. It didn’t help that I got shot through my back, taking and arrow for Elena because the assistant thought that she was a vampire. We didn’t stay long after we found that we wouldn’t be finding anything there anytime soon.
As soon as I got to Mystic Falls again decide to got to the plantation for a little while. I only stay at the plantation for an hour that day before I went back to the boarding house to get some sleep, not having had much of that the past few weeks. I come back the next day to sit in my perch as a bird expecting for nothing to happen again only to see movers in front of the house with the doors and windows open, for once for me to be able to peer into it. When I see into what I assume was the living room, I realize that my mystery woman has finally arrived and she is in the house.
She is only in there for about 45 minutes after I got there before she walks out, gets in her car and driving away and me having nothing better to do, I follow her, flying near her car. I noticed that she is heading to the mystic grill, so I fly a little ahead of her and by the time she is getting in the Mystic Grill, I am changed back to my human form and follow her. I slip into the seat that is next to her while she is observing the Grill after ordering a drink and try to start a conversation with her.
She leaves out of the Grill not long after, leaving a confused Stefan- who has come up to me after she got up and headed towards the door- and me when I couldn’t compel her to give me her name but felt a thrill none the less for the chase that she was providing.
The next day I come to the Moutin plantation early to see my mystery woman awake and eating outside, so I decide to go near her and see what she was doing up close, while of course in my bird form. I laugh inwardly when she starts talking to me she is talking to a bird, which of course is me but still, a bird I remember thinking. She only stays outside for a little while before she goes inside for most of the day.
When she finally came out of what I would assume was her study, I saw her making a list and putting it in her pocket before getting her keys and walking out the door. I knew where she was going to be as soon as she made the list and put it in her pocket, so I flew ahead and decided to wait for her there.
After my brief meeting up with Bella at the grocery store, I felt satisfied that with the knowledge that I finally got her name and she didn’t say anything when I said she was mine.
I went home soon after that to lay in bed for a while, but connected to my familiar so he could look into the house and see what my Bella was doing before I settled into my bed, getting comfortable to watch the happenings of the Moutin plantation through my familiar’s eyes.
Just as I was getting a little jealous of her going to call someone- which was a little strange but I just shook it off- I was started out of my trance when I heard my phone ringing, and soon finding out it was my Bella and that she wanted me to come over, to which I got excited, dressed quickly and left with a bottle of wine in my grasp.
The evening was going great, I was truly happy and peaceful for the first time since I was turned and eating a very good homemade Italian meal. When it started to go on a serious note and I told her I was a vampire a little bit later. She took it surprisingly well before we went inside to her library slash study where she told me her life story up to the point to when she got to Mystic Falls. To say I was furious would be an understatement and that caused a storm to start when it was supposed to be a clear starry night that day.
When she was done telling me all that has happened in her life to that point, I decided I would tell her mine, so with a deep breath, I started to retail all that has happened in my life since I meet Katherine Pierce in 1864, all the way to this point in time.
During the next few days it was a whirlwind of emotions as we start to learn everything we can about her family lineage, how the supernatural world is bigger than we are used too, about how we are mates, how Bella is related to a Mikaelson- specifically Elijah Milkaelson-. finding out that Elijah is mated to Elena, that my brother could be a slightly clingy and jealous, and finally about Jasper- Jasper who thinks he is mates with MY mate.
In between of finding out that Elijah is mated with Elena and and Jasper coming for his ‘mate’, I was able to turn my mate and finally have her.
After Jasper was locked up with Elijah looking after him to make sure he doesn’t get away when he tried to get to my mate and trying to get her to think that he was her mate, not me- which failed in epic proportions. It was after I took my mate up to our room where I made love to her a few times and gave her my blood so she can feed and she fell asleep on me in my arms that I thought of my whole life since the very first time I laid eyes in her.
