Instead of going to school, she spends her time with Elijah. He doesn't seem to have any objections, and if he does-she doesn't care.

It's been a few days without school, and she likes skipping. Elijah sits next to her on the couch, and she tucks her feet under a blanket as they watch an old movie. Old, she muses, is such a relative term. They are old, by human standards anyway. They're bloody ancient. They notice when Kol sits on the other couch, quiet. He doesn't make a sound and they can hear someone, Finn-Rebekah decides, coming down the stairs. They can still hear Klaus, irritated about paint colors. Finn sits next to Kol. There's space there, between them. Elijah restarts the movie as Klaus enters the room. He sits between Kol and Finn. And the movie is watched, silently.

The house is fairly quiet after that. Rebekah wonders for a fleeting moment if Elijah is growing tired of her. She doesn't care. They don't know how long they have with him, and he offers nothing. She's caught between trying to think away out of it and to stop scheming and spend as much time with Elijah as possible.

It's almost silent in their house after she stops going to school until Klaus opens the door one afternoon, and sounds more enthused than he has in weeks.

"Caroline." He says. Rebekah wonders if he could be any more obvious. They all hear her clear her throat.

"I um-I brought Rebekah's homework. Is she okay?" Klaus is momentarily touched by her concern, he takes the papers, his hands touch hers for a moment before hers retreat to her sides. It's almost perfect. but Rebekah flashes over, and in his mind ruins the moment.

"I'm fine." Rebekah says curtly, and shuts the door.

Klaus doesn't comment when she burns the worksheets in the fireplace.
