PROLOGUE
Many Days Ago
"I told you that I'd do anything for you Rebekah... I have blueprints for a home, a home I planned up for us. I want you to reign as Queen of New Orleans with me. If this is what you want... Let's make it happen. I want to make you happy because I finally have you back."
Rebekah took a few steps backwards and leaned against the dusty church hallway wall. Marcel stepped forward and took her hands in his. They were soft against his calloused skin. He rubbed slow circles over them. "Marcel, I don't want this unless you're in it with me."
"I am. I promise I am, but you know we gotta keep this secret.. for both our protection."
"I know," She sighed and pressed her lips together. Though every inch of Rebekah's body trembled with fear of what their future held, in that moment she felt complete bliss. Marcel shifted his weight from foot to foot, making the floorboards creak. He didn't move his gaze from hers. She couldn't help but clear her throat and turn her head to look over at the door to Davina's room. "Let's go."
He leaned forward when she turned back to him and pressed his forehead against hers before kissing her gently. When he felt her smile against him, he smiled back.
Current Day
The bugs were making their obnoxious nighttime noises. It was late but Rebekah was in too much of a rush to check the time. Every bag – every necessity she brought with her to Louisiana - was in the trunk. All except the purse hanging on her shoulder, a small cooler full of water bottles and juice in the backseat, and a small duffel in the front with a big bag of pretzels and two apples – all food was thanks to Hayley's stash.
"Rebekah?"
Rebekah paused, eyes wide like a deer in headlights. She turned to look up at her eldest brother and swallowed, blinked once, then ultimately sighed.
"Rebekah, where is it you're going?" Elijah asked.
Rebekah was cold. She wasn't used to being cold. The cold forced a headache to creep into her temples. She mentally reminded herself to buy Advil while she was on the road.
"I have to leave for a little while, brother. I can't explain," She started. When Elijah opened his mouth to intervene, she cut him off. "Take care of Hayley. She's like a sister to me. She is apart of our family... but right now I can't be here. I'm in trouble and I can't put you or Hayley at risk."
Elijah was familiar with the look in Rebekah's eyes. They burned with determination and honesty. He knew to trust his sister, so against his better judgement, he let her go with a small nod. She opened the front door of her red convertible and sat down on the comfortable leather seat. "I'll keep in touch, Eli. I promise."
She started the car and whipped out of the driveway. Within minutes she was zooming her way out of New Orleans. The wind blew the blonde hair off her shoulders. "Now where the fuck am I going?"
