My Promise

"What happened to her?" Hayley asked when I laid her on the bed. "She did a stupid spell." I said annoyed at her, I don't know what she thought she was going to achieve pushing herself like she was. "She hasn't been eating much... do you think that has something to do with it?" Bonnie said coming over to her on the bed. "Or drinking blood." Care asked. "No one thought to tell me?" "You told us not to contact you." Hayley says. 

"Ari?" "Sissy is okay." I tell Hope picking her up. "She's sleeping." I tell her and she looked at me not believing me. "Wheres Eli?" I asked, there was nothing to do for Bella other than wait until she wakes up and force feed her a bucket of blood before lecturing her. "She's here." Elena said handing her to me. "Daddy's here now." I tell her kissing her forehead though she was asleep and none of the wiser of what was going on. 

"Thank you." "Of course, she's okay  isn't she... she doesn't really cry." "Unless she's hungry." Bonnie chimes in. I nodded in agreement. "Wake up Sissy." Hope said bored of being in my arms. I set her down. "Sissy needs to sleep." "No. wake." Hope tells her mum. 

She climbed up on the bed and on top of Elle. "Wake up." She said poking her face. "Hope-y nicely." Hayley tells her. "What happened back there?" "The hex you did weakened her. Bella was able to take her magic away. And it was back and forth for a bit. She got stakes, He got staked. I almost died. Bella chopped her mothers head off. Klaus said something." Stefan explained. "Klaus?" Everyone said in unison. "You heard him too?" I questioned. He nodded. "Victoria was asleep." He said avoiding the dead word infant of the 4 year old. "Bella do a spell, body disappeared and then she bleed from her eyes, passed out." He concluded giving them the basic run down as he cradled his daughters. 

"Wakey!" Hope said clearly excited. She was jumping up and down on the bed and Bella's eyes were fluttering. "What was you thinking?" Bonnie asked her hitting her shoulder. "Is Eli okay?" She asked ignoring Bonnie completely as she pushed herself up. "She's fine." She looked relieved. She still looked hazy so I tried to hold back on giving her the rant about how irresponsible  she was. "Damon?" "He's there." Bonnie told her and she looked around, she still looked half asleep. "Bella are you okay?" "She's just tired... thanks for bringing me back Love." Klaus said walking into the small motel room like he hasn't been dead for almost two months. 

"DADDY!" Hope ran to her father and jumped up he picked her up. "My sweet girl." he said holding her close to him. "Klaus?" Hayley got up from the bed and ran to him, he managed to hold her up to as she hid in the crook of her neck. "You could have killed yourself." I say seriously to her sitting beside her whilst everyone else was concerned with Klaus. "Bella? Are you listening to me?" I asked she was looking through me. "Arabella?" "Damon?" "Bella?" "Wheres Eli?" "She's here." I say looking down at the sleeping baby in my arms. "Bella? Do you under-"I had to okay... to make sure she would never hurt Eliana... I had to swap them." He head fell forward. I catch it and push her back gently against the old headboard so it was proper against it. "Bonnie, do you have any blood bags in here?" I asked not taking my eyes off my wife she was weak. "Here." Bonnie handed me one. 

"Damon, is she okay?" Klaus asked. "Take Eli." I say to him turning around and handing her to the first person that was there. Elle's eyes started to close. "Arabella... Look at me." I tell her firmly. She was trying she was trying. "Bella, please." "I promised her I'd protect her." She managed out. "You need to be here to do that." I tell her opening the bag and putting the straw like end in her mouth. I squeezed it some so it would flow into her mouth with little effort on her part. "I love you Bella." She smiled softly almost accepting her fate. "Don't... Don't you dare give up." Bonnie tells her holding her hand on the other side. "Arabella!" She shook her slightly. "Give them a minute." Hayley tells the rest of the room but I was waiting for the grey to start taking over the love of my life's body.
