[I do apologise for how short this chapter but it's only meant to be a short stater. The next ones will be longer.]

Both Rebekah and Galen made their way down the middle of a road leading towards Mystic Falls' town centre, they'd spent almost a week on the island where Silas once lay.
A cough scratched at the back of Vaughn's throat as the blonde vampire's hand reached out to take hold of his; her fingers lacing between his own. A mild wave of shock washed over the hunter for a quick moment before he furrowed his brow towards himself. Why was he acting shocked over this? It was nothing new, him and Rebekah had been stuck together for over a week, she feared what was on the island and forced him to stay up with him all night talking about everything and anything.
He gave Rebekah's hand a light squeeze which caused a weak smile to mask her tired features, she may be a vampire but she needed sleep and being stuck in an island doesn't help that in any way.

Rebekah's pace quickened as they got closer to the over packed streets and busy shops but Vaughn didn't follow her lead, he near enough stopped in his tracks which caused Rebekah's shoulder to jerk backwards and eventually, she had no other choice but to spin on the balls of her feet and face him with a brow delicately arched in confusion.
"What is it?" a frown forming upon her features.
"We can't do this, you need to go back to your friends and I need to find Katherine." Vaughn's jaw was tight as he spoke, trying so hard to put his feelings for her to the side. He was a hunter, he was meant to want to kill her and not care. In his eyes, she was meant to be a monster, not a goddess.
Anger caused tears to glaze her eyes as they narrowed towards the hunter. How could he do this? He knew how she'd react, she'd spilled out her heart to him and he knew how love had always stabbed her in the back.
"I can't be seen in Mystic Falls, it'll be the death of me, we both know that." his gaze fell from the vampire's own, he didn't want to do this but he had to.
"I've told you already, they won't risk getting the curse." glowering towards Vaughn as her words left her mouth.
"The cure isn't in Mystic Falls. I have no reason to be there." he'd crossed the line and hit a nerve. Frustration and the feeling of betrayal took over, pulling her hand from his grasp with a scowl upon her features before hissing her words at him.
"The cure!? You care about getting that cure and killing Silas more than me?" her foot stomped in the movement of a tantrum.
"I'm getting this for you! To save you! If I leave you in a town with Silas, he will kill you. Original or not!" he spat back at her, they were both used to having rows against each other but neither of them liked it.

Rebekah turned her back on him, huffing out a harsh sigh. She wasn't going to argue for her defence, he was as stubborn as she was. She expected this to happen but didn't realise how much it'd hurt her.
A week, they'd only known each other for a week, maybe a tad longer but it wasn't that long. Why was she feeling like this? Why was he feeling like this?
"Rebekah..." her name slipped from his lips in a raised voice. She tried to ignore him and keep walking but the way he spoke to her; the way he said her name, it made her stomach swarm with fluttering butterflies.
She inhaled a shaky breath before spinning around to face Galen, his lips instantly crashing against her own as his hands found themselves clasping her waist. Almost instantly her lips molded against his in a farewell kiss, her arms raising to drape over Vaughn's shoulders before moving a single hand up into his hair; her fingers combing through it roughly.
Rebekah's eyes fluttered shut, causing a single shimmering tear to travel down her blushed cheeks.

As their lips moved perfectly insync, Rebekah's arms laced further around the hunter's broad shoulders in order to hold him close. But Galen broke away, the tip of his nose subtly gliding down the bridge of her own nose before resting his forehead down against hers. His hands dropping from her waist as her hold on him loosened and he took a step back. His expression was shadowed with guilt but he never said a word, not even 'sorry' as he securely pulled his rucksack on and walked away. She didn't bother run after him, she knew deep down it was for the best.

Galen swallowed thickly as he walked away, his pace quicker than before to make sure he had walked too far to turn around. Changing his direction to head into the town despite what he'd told Rebekah; he made his way towards a shop which was surrounded by a car park of vehicles that were ready to be sold. If he was going to go after Katherine, he needed transport.
Rebekah watched the hunter walk away from her, hoping he'd turn around one last time but he didn't even hesitate his actions. Before she could notice him walking towards Mystic Falls town centre, she turned around and continued up the road. She had to go home and get some sleep, she didn't live in the Mikaelson mansion any more but that's the place she went to. She needed to tell Klaus about what had happened. She needed his help to get the cure but she wasn't entirely sure if to get it for herself; which would have been an invitation for the people in Mystic Falls to kill her or to give it to Vaughn; for it's originally planned use.

Rebekah's hand reached out to grip the doors handle, opening the door before entering the house.
"Nik?" her hushed voice echoed around the house. Silently closing the door behind her before walking down the hall way. Slipping her arms out her coat as the made her way towards the front room to find Klaus admiring a painted canvas while holding a paintbrush in his hand.
"Ah, Rebekah, love. Decided to come home, have you?" his face now possessed his oh so famous smile of victory. She forced a sarcastic smile to appear on her features as she stalked towards him.
"I didn't get it, Niklaus. That doppelganger bitch got there first." her smile faded and a scowl took it's place.
"Which one?" the hybrid placed his brush beside the canvas before turning to face his younger sister, his scowl matching her own.
"Katherine Pierce." a defeated sigh passed Rebekah's lips as she walked across the room, her coat draped over her forearm. "I need you to help me find her before someone else does." by someone else she meant the Salvatore brothers but she knew that Galen would also be searching for Katherine along with the cure. Maybe she'd see him? No, she couldn't think like that. She had to get the cure for herself and no one else.

"Here you go, sir." the man who wore a politician smile on his face he handed Vaughn a set of newly cut keys.
"Thanks a lot." the hunter forced a smile of gratitude before turning away and heading towards the car.
"Have you had everything explained to you?" the man rushed after Vaughn as he spoke.
"No but I don't need your help. Thank you very much, though." he wasn't in the mood for talking or being nice. He wanted to get away and distract himself.
"Oh, but this car has some alterations to the others, sir." Vaughn ignored the man as he clicked the button to unlock the car before pulling open the door of a car which had it's roof retracted; sliding into the drivers seat then slotting the keys into the ignition in order to start the car and get away.
