Chapter 3
Rebekah tossed and turned all night with episodic nightmares of Caroline and her brother. She lost count after the fourth time or fifth time that she was awoken out of her sleep. She hated that Klaus even had power over her when she slept, that was supposed to be the one place where he couldn't get to her. Rebekah decided that she was not going to let him fuck her up even more than he already had so she grabbed her pillow and put it over her face and let out a muffled shout. After that she felt a sudden release of stress and drifted back to sleep.
A couple hours later Rebekah screamed and jolted up in her bed panting quick and hard. Whatever happened in her nightmare was so intense that she was shaking.
Caroline and Rebekah had been lying in bed together, not messing around or anything like that…just lying there enjoying each other's company. Rebekah could even smell the scent of warm vanilla shampoo in Caroline's hair. But then all of a sudden she was being thrown against the wall by an imaginary force unable to move when Niklaus walked into the room. He glided over to Caroline and climbed into the bed with her. Screaming his name and trying everything she could Rebekah couldn't get his attention. Then Klaus turned towards his sister acknowledging her presence and giving her the most evil look she had ever seen him make. Then he turned back to Caroline and began kissing her from her neck down to her stomach and back up. The last thing she remembers is Klaus rolling on top of Caroline still staring at her his eyes filled with nothing but bad intentions. It was a picture she wished she could forget ever seeing.
"Fuck" Rebekah sighed trembling.
She turned her head sharply when there was a knock on her door.
"C-Come in" She stuttered
"What do you want Elijah?"
"I heard you scream, is everything ok?"
"Yea yea I'm fine, just a nightmare." She let out a nervous chuckle
"Rebekah you know I can tell when you're lying right."
"You can?"
"Yes…..out of everyone in this family, you are the only I am able to tell is lying."
"Well I guess I've lost my touch then."
"No it's still there don't worry."
The two of them sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Elijah spoke.
"Rebekah…"
"Yea Elijah"
"You do know that you can talk to me about anything. Don't you?"
Rebekah let out a deep sigh.
"I mean I know I can but things have been a little crazy lately, pretty much all of the trust I had in this family is gone because of Klaus and his antics."
"No no I understand completely. A part of me feels the same way you do…But I'm still your big brother and I am here for you."
Rebekah felt herself getting emotional from Elijah's words. It had been centuries since she heard something so heartfelt come from one of her siblings and was actually able to believe it. But after so many years of lies and betrayal she resorted back to her old ways and returned to the bitch she was so used to being.
"You know Elijah this family is so seriously fucked up that I wouldn't for a second believe that I could trust you or anyone else for the matter. How am I supposed to know that you're not going to back and tell Kol, or Finn, or Klaus or even Mum what I say. I can stand on my own I don't need you or anyone else to be my shrink….I've been my own shrink for era's now. Just because that dagger isn't in your chest doesn't mean that you get to finally act like we've always been close." Rebekah said to her brother.
Elijah's face dropped to the floor obviously saddened by her words but not very surprised.
"Ok" was all that he said not sure how to respond to what he had just heard. He got up and begun walking towards the door when Rebekah stopped him.
"Oh and Elijah?"
"Yes"
"You're actually looking quite sad, do us both a favor and fix your face. There's no reason for you to look any more pathetic than you already are." Rebekah said with an evil smirk on her face
Elijah turned around and walked back up to Rebekah his faces inches away from hers.
"If you weren't such an ignorant selfish bitch, I may actually feel sorry for you. You'll probably be alone for however longer you're alive because no one can stand to be around. Nobody wants a psychotic whore for a girlfriend."
Rebekah's smirk quickly left her face and was replaced by and angry stare.
"Now who's face needs to be fixed" Elijah said smiling. He knew that he had gotten under her skin and that was more than enough.
"Oh and don't you have school this morning? You may want to get a move on or else you're going to be late." He said snidely.
Elijah left the room leaving Rebekah on her bed fuming with rage at what her brother's words. She picked up the lamp that was sitting on her nightstand and threw it at the wall watching it explode into a bunch of little sharp pieces.
Rebekah walked into school that morning wearing a leather jacket, white tank top, black skinny jeans, and stylish black boots. Every guy stopped what they were doing and stared at her as she strutted down the hall but she didn't want their attention….she wanted Caroline's.
Rebekah walked past Caroline who was standing with Elena and Bonnie at her while she got books out of her locker. Caroline didn't even glance up at Rebekah when she smiled at her. Which broke her heart a little, so she pretended to be interested in a random guy in order to eaves drop on their conversation.
"Did you see that?" Bonnie said
"See what?" Caroline said confused
"Rebekah was totally checking you out just now."
Caroline and Elena laughed at the thought
"Yea okay Bonnie she was definitely checking me out." Caroline said sarcastically
"I'm serious Caroline I saw her" Bonnie replied desperately wanting Caroline to believe her."
Caroline leaned in to Bonnie and Elena wanting to tell them something secretive.
"Listen guys I need to tell you about something that happened at the ball the other night."
"Oh my god what?" Elena exclaimed excited to hear what Caroline had to share.
"So at the ball Klaus caught me in one of his rooms looking at their collection paintings and insisted on taking me outside to see their horses."
"Wait, so let me get this straight. Klaus was being nice to you?" Bonnie interrupted
"Well yea but that's not the point."
"Really cause I think it is" Elena said curiously.
"No it's not so shut the fuck up and let me tell you what happened."
Rebekah started getting nervous upon realizing that Caroline was about to tell them about their altercation in the study.
"Ok ok I was just kidding, go on" Elena said.
"Well me and Klaus we're going inside when I saw something out of the corner of my eye and I looked up to see Rebekah staring at me on the balcony. So after that I decided to just go sit in their study to get away from her for a couple minutes when all of a sudden she was just standing there looking at me."
Bonnie and Elena stared on intensely trying to concentrate on the story Caroline was telling.
"She startled me and I accidently knocked over one of their vases."
"I'm surprised you're even standing here with us right now then."
"No she said it was fine, it was a present Finn gave to their mom so she didn't mind. She actually thanked me." Caroline said remembering the compliment.
"What?" Bonnie said
"Yea I know it's weird isn't it? But she actually looked really pretty that night. Like gorgeous." Caroline said
Rebekah started blushing at hearing the blondes comment.
"Anyways, I told her I'd clean it up so she could get back to the party and that's what I started when she came over and actually started to help me."
"Are you serious?" Elena said. "That's really hard to believe. You know her being nice and all."
"You're telling me" Caroline replied.
"So then Rebekah tried to explain to me that she wasn't staring at me she just happened to be looking at me at the time like she was trying to cover something up. Then she turned really mean and just started yelling at me so I left."
"That's crazy" Bonnie exclaimed
"I know and you know the thing about it is-" Caroline was cut off by the bell signaling that class was about to begin
"Sorry Caroline I have biology right now, promise we'll finish this later?" Elena said
"Yea me too" Bonnie concurred
"Its fine, don't worry about it." Caroline said disappointed.
Bonnie and Elena ran off down the hall towards their classes while Caroline stayed at her locker. She headed towards the bathroom instead of going to class so that she could fix her make-up.
As Rebekah stood in the hallway contemplating what to do next she watched Caroline walk into the Restroom.
"Well I guess it's now or never" Rebekah sighed and started moving towards the girl's bathroom. She stopped just shy of the door to collect her thoughts. What was she going to say when she went in there? What if Caroline reacts badly? There were too many variables.
"Come on Rebekah move your feet. You can do this." She said trying to get the courage to go in there. She looked at her watch and realized that she was running out of time, either she was going to tell Caroline how she felt now or leave it.
"Fight or flight" She said and realized that she was never the person to run away in fear, so why would she start now?
"Fuck it I'm going to tell her how I feel right now and that's it. No more bullshit."
Rebekah ran her fingers through her hair one last time and then entered the bathroom to find Caroline staring at herself in the mirror. She turned around and her eyes grew wide at the site of it being Rebekah standing in front of her.
"Hey" Rebekah shyly said to Caroline
"Um….…hey. I should be leaving I have to get to class before I get in trouble. The last thing I want to do is get the rest of my squad in trouble" Caroline said referring to the cheerleading team. Clearly nervous she and tried to rush past Rebekah and to the door.
"Now or never" Rebekah sighed.
Rebekah stepped In Caroline's path, stopping her from going any further, and then turned around and locked the bathroom door. Caroline looked as if she was going to drop dead right where she was standing.
"Don't be scared….I just want to talk to you." Rebekah said holding up her hand to show she wasn't a threat. "I promise… I just want to talk."
