Rebekah Mikaelson. Some say she's evil. Beyond remorse. Beyond redemption. Like the rest of the Mikaelsons, she gets what she wants regardless of what she has to do, who she has to hurt, who she has to kill to get it. But really, all she is is a girl. A girl who lost her mother too young and loves blindly and recklessly, even if it consumes her. A girl who died too young and has lived too long but even though she has lived a thousand years, hasn't lived at all. And in the end nothing is more important than the bond of family, so she has allowed herself to simply exist for a thousand years, for every time she begins to really live, the opportunity is taken away. In the end, she's just a girl with hopes, with dreams. A girl who deserves to love and feel love returned. Rebekah Mikaelson is a girl who deserves a second chance.

The Original witch sat and watched as Niklaus and Rebekah had another of the famous falling outs. When will they learn? Niklaus that Rebekah is not a game. Not a loyal hound that will agree with him with every move he makes. He cannot simply expect her to comply and put her down when she does not…

Drop them. Niklaus said, trying to remain calm, as Rebekah held up the two bags of the doppelganger's blood. I mourned you! My heart broke thinking I'd never see you again! She cried, failing miserably to keep her emotions under control. Put the blood down Rebekah, there's good girl. The elder said, trying again to maintain her calm composure though clearly nervous. It's always been me! Not Finn, not Elijah, not Kol me! I've loved you through everything and you don't even care! The younger cried, even more hysterically. Her hysteria increasing opposite of Niklaus's patients. Drop them! Her son screamed, finally losing his patients all together. You want your family? Here's your family! The young girl said as she threw the doppleganger's all over the walls then threw the empty bags defiantly on the floor. Rebekah didn't even have time to react as Niklaus flashed over to his sister with both hands around her neck. You know what Rebekah you're right. I don't care. From this moment on you're not my family, you're not my sister. You are nothing. The man said as held the blonde just above the grounds, between her desperate gasps for air. And then after a detached look from the elder Mikaelson, with a quick motion the sickening sound filled the air as Niklaus snapped his sister's neck and dropped her carelessly on the floor.

And Rebekah, that she cannot rely on her brother. That for her own sake she has to let her brother go and find happiness far away from him. For though Niklaus does truly love his sister, as he does all his siblings, he feels it better to lose them on his terms than on theirs and refuses to let the latter happen. And if someone walks away it always has to be him. He could not show Rebekah that he loved her more than anything because he always has to be in control and he could not allow anyone to have a hold on him. Niklaus had done this to his sister. Never allowing her to find love and stay in love, for he fears that if she does he will lose her forever. That she'll move on and forget all about him. No, that wasn't an option to Nik. She can't leave him like the others it's as simple as that. He made her like this. After losing her one true love she is so scared that she'll never find another person who will truly love her that she gives her heart away carelessly only to have it broken time and time again. Always torn between ruthless, stone-cold soldier Niklaus has taught her to be and the free spirited and passionate girl she truly is. Though Rebekah is at heart peaceful and a lover part of her is now a monster. For that is the only thing that guards her heart. For every time she loves and loses it adds another layer of that cold stone around her heart. Unlike Niklaus the stone wall comes down and she does love recklessly but when she is not, the stone heart is all she has. I've tried ending her life with the others. Taking the monsters that are my children out of this world but I could not. Since I cannot my only option is simple. I must take the monster out of Rebekah. I must give her back what Niklaus long ago took from her. It is her only hope.

For there a while was nothing. She was just floating in darkness. No thoughts no memories just... nothing. And then every so slowly her eyes fluttered open and the pain emanating from her neck. For a few blissfully clueless moments where she could not remember what happened. But unfortunately it all came back, Nik's heartbreaking words, his cold hands tight on her throat, that horrible snap as he unremorsefully broke his only sisters neck, and then nothing. A horrible darkness. How could he do this to her. She stood by him through everything! She always had. She stood up for him when no one else would. She loved him when no one could understand why. He had locked her in a box for 90 years and she looked the other way. He murdered their mother and lied to her for over a thousand years and yet her loyalty still remained unwavering. He killed man whom she had ever loved. Always for some stupid excuse after another. He had kept her on the run for over a thousand years. when members of the counsel kidnapped her and Caroline and he had to choose whom to save, He chose that pathetic baby vampire over her! She stood by him and a damn near stranger over his own sister. She never would have done that. And did she hate him for it, did she leave him and turn her back on him like any other would have? No she stayed. She forgave. And she went on loving him. How could he choose his hybrids over her? How could he throw her to the side so easily and pretend she was nothing more than a perfect stranger on the side of the road? No this could not be happening, it had to be some horrible nightmare. Maybe if I just close my eyes and count to ten I'll wake up and Nik will be right back on the couch drawing picture of his baby vampire just like every other day, She thought. But ten seconds had passed and she was still here. Reality set in and she realized it was true. Her worst nightmare had finally come true and she was all alone. Every time she had sacrificed her happiness so her brother would not have to feel the loneliness was all in vain. He had left her. And she was alone. I have to get out of here, she decided to herself. There has to be somewhere in this one pony town I can go. I'll be fine, she said aloud trying to convince herself of something she knew she would never truly believe. She flashed up to her room and grabs her suitcases. Tearing her room apart and throwing it into the bags as the tears streamed down her face and her body shook with the uncontrollable sobs. I'm all alone. Mother please come back to me. Please Mother I need you. I can't do this alone. Please. She cried out to the only person she could ever really count on for comfort. The one she knew would never leave her. Even though she had tried to take them from this world she never would have left Rebekah to face an eternity alone. But even this joy Nik had taken from her. Rebekah lost her mother too young and it had been her brother that had taken her away. She had to learn all the things only a mother was supposed to teach her daughter her own. She learned of self worth and dignity from the various women her brothers had brought around her over the centuries and learned of love only from brothers who thought it a weakness. Rebekah fell to the floor shaking uncontrollably with the sobs of despair, heartache, and complete loneliness. Please Mother I can't do this Please. What is eternity when spent alone. What is the point? Why did this happen to be. I can't be alone Mother please! She cried out hysterically once more. Then she heard a strong voice behind her as a shoulder rested comfortingly on her shoulder, You need not worry my love, you will never be alone again. Rebekah turned around hesitantly immediately recognizing that voice. It had been the same one that had visited her in her dreams for the centuries. The voice that brought her endless happiness and despair in equal measure. And the voice she never thought she'd here again. The being helped Rebekah up and turned her to face him. Alexander? The vampire asked not believing her eyes. Surely this was a trick, a hallucination of some sort. Yes my love, it is I. Her true love said, caringly, I am here and will never leave you again. He finsished pulling her into his strong arms and caressing her hair gently, trying to calm the astonished blonde. She did not know how nor why but she knew one thing at the moment. Her true love had returned to her and she would never let him go.
