Warning; If your an Elena, Stefan, Damon, and the rest of their 'gang', fan then this story probably isn't for you.
The setting is, and will be a bit AU, and begins hours after Kol's death.
"Elijah.."
The crack in her voice was clear even as she called her brother over the phone. It had been some months since he was last there, having taken off after Niklaus was thought dead and Mother was gone for good. Rebekah had contemplated on what she should do after being told the news of her little brother. There had been tears, quite a few, and she let her ex talk on and allow him to think she was still on their side.
"Rebekah, are you alright?" There was some concern in her brother's voice. Him and Klaus had been the ones she was always closest to over the years. Always and Forever. And now.. now they needed to remember that saying and it's meaning more than they ever did before.
"They've killed Kol."
The silence on the other end was almost unbearable. Had he mis-heard her? What was he thinking? Surely he was angry, she could hear how his breathing had changed slightly after she said that. He hadn't know. Of course. Niklaus hadn't bothered to tell him. But she didn't want to think of Nik now. His recent actions in saving Caroline over her still stung. He would rather save some girl he's infatuated with, who didn't care a thing for him, over his own family. This was part of the reason why she called her only other brother, because he likely didn't know and she also didn't want to take comfort from the brother who hurt her and stuck daggers in her heart on many occasions.
"They killed him Elijah. Everyone's precious Elena and her brother Jeremy." Rebekah didn't care what the reasoning was. That girl and her group of friends always acted self-righteous and scrutinize her family for the bad things they've done to them here in Mystic Falls, yet they go around and do the same sort of stuff. Like killing Kol. He wouldn't have killed that stupid boy. Only Niklaus would be bothered to put up with the hunters curse.
"Does Niklaus know?" The question was to seemingly ignore her snide comments about the Gilbert's Elijah had been fond of Elena, she knew, but it was doubtful he would be anymore. Not after this.
"He does. Stefan said the little witch trapped him in Elena's house." Now the group was about to run off to find the cure. The cure. She had wanted to become human again so bad. But now that wasn't on her mind. Working with them, with Elena, was the last thing she'd do. That Katherine doppelgänger had been a thorn in her side since she and Niklaus came to Mystic Falls, and she was ready to put an end to her once and for all.
Hearing that he was heading back there made her relieved. The phone died on the other end after he said that but the important thing is Elijah was coming back here. While Rebekah didn't plan on them getting one over on her and using the white oak stake to kill her, but there was safety in numbers right now. They had killed Kol, but she wouldn't allow them the chance to kill what little family she had left. She may have been at odds with Klaus, and still not wanting anything to do with him, but she had another brother and she knew he was just as likely to help her get revenge now that they had ended another family members life.
