Hello my loves,
This is the 4th installment on this series. I keep getting feelings from this that makes me want to tell it from different angles. This one I'll admit it caught me by surprise. I just wrote without thinking. It's told from Rebekah's point of view. She tells you their story as she sees it.
I hated her from day one
Because
I saw it from the first moment
The way he looked at her
A fleeting look it seemed
Yet
His eyes widened
As if in recognition
Before they moved on
But
He took in everything
The bounce of her hair
Her skin
Her expressive eyes
And
I saw it all too
She wasn't resigned
Loyalty
Even in the face of futility
She fought for what was hers
Who
Was but an experiment to me
To Nik he was a promise
Everything depended on the dog's life
The last 1000 years
With so much
On his way to the finish line
As he was about to cross
Still
Nik still found time to look.
The looking was not important
The girl's beautiful
It used to injure my soul to admit it
Though I deemed her insignificant
Like the others
He would too
Take what he wanted
Continue without a hitch
He made no moves
That was the tell-tell
My brother had never known restrain
He would have grabbed her
Seduced her
Eat her
Discard her
Maybe kill her
That was his way
Despite her protest she would cave
Like many before her
He would have ended up in her tight jeans
My brother is a savage
That's his wolf side
But
No one can do king vampire like him
He could
Persuade her
Corrupt her
On that fateful day
However
King vampire is not what he did
Instead
To my greatest annoyance
Disgust
Love sick puppy entered the game
He but did not approach
I knew he wanted to
I know him best
His game was changed
So
I made it a point to hate her
Irk her
Mess with her life
The girl had everything
Everything
Not my favorite brother too
I would kill her first.
So I set out to make her life hell
Nik was too preoccupied
Making invincible dogs
To bother with her
Or so I thought
I should've known
He never shies on a quest
It's the animal he half is
He bid his time
He tried to hide it
I caught him watching
Then the night came
When he returned home with glazed eyes
As if he had seen a ghost
In a trance
With a ready smile on his lips
I prodded
He avoided
I pushed
He relented…
Another tell sign
He said he told the dog to bite her
Then had gone to her home
And fed her his blood
Saved her
What in bloody hell…
I was horrified
He spoke of her beauty
I was sickened
Her resolve
I was powerless while watching
Him
He seemed…touched
Changed
This is what I feared the most
And I felt the foreboding
In the pit of my belly
As he sat with his pad
By the fire
And sketch her face
Time
After time
After more time
He brought her to the dance
Because not even our mother
Coming back from the grave
Could distract him from her
She wore the princess' bracelet
He gave it to her
The one wouldn't even let me wear
I watched them dance
She aloof
Sometimes downright rude
His eyes grew deeper
With every word
From her lips
Bragging about a pageant
To him
It was a whisper out of Neruda
His smile more genuine
And at times he was clumsy
Foolish
Un-Nik-like
She disturbed him
She left abruptly
Classless little tart
I found him in his studio
By the fire as usual
Sketching her yet again
This time with a horse
I tried to talk to him
Told him he was being an idiot
He didn't yell at me
Or insult me
Just got up
Left without sparing me a look
And this was just the beginning
Soon
I dealt with the heart she had broken
With every single plot
She
Always the bait
He
The dumb fish
So desperate for a bite
Of her
Constantly caught by the mouth
Or
By the eye
The minute she smiled
Or
Light touched her hair
Or
Anything came out of her lips
Even
If it was an offense
Or
Judgment
He acted like it was music
She was his Mona-Lisa
Sixtine Chappel
Venus de Milo
All seven wonders of the world
Blood
He even saved her over me
Over me!
Left me in a van
While he took her to safety
Blew his cover
She never appreciated it
Oh that's the best part
She made a good show
Of her disdain for him
But I saw when the tide changed
I came back from my sleep
To see the new way
She would look at him
No longer with hate
Not yet with love
The fight in her obvious
Except to those around her
I wondered the depth of friendships then
They didn't see the signs
Her eagerness to be around him
Though with supposed hate
I didn't care
She wasn't anything to me
I just saw the frustration in him
Because
He saw too
You know when you're wanted
Even
When the want is covered
Buried
Caged
She wasn't indifferent
It enraged him
She wouldn't budge
Then she hated him again
He tried harder
He was desperate
He never took it out on her
Except that one time
But he couldn't even punish her
It's not in him
To make her suffer
Like he did with us
His family
Had it been one of us
A stake through the heart
Sent to sleep it off in a coffin
But she
Mistreated
Denied him
He persisted
Did more
For her
To be around her
He decoded the sword
For her
He told me about the cure
But it was her
For her
I told Stefan he never would
He did
He was trapped
Yet he catered
He was in love
He still is...more than then
I couldn't believe it
I still can't
I thought he had wised up
When he burned his sketches of her
He had not
That should have told me everything
And he was already gone
She completed the last massacre
He gave her a tongue lashing
Was mean to her
But he buried 12 witches for her
After she unleashed hell!
Some may not think it's a big deal
Scoff at that
Because
Of his super strength
No sweat of his back
But this is Nik
In his world
It was an epic declaration
Of love
Devotion
Despite his
anger
Frustration
When he thought he was dying
She was the one he called
He even put the F word
To stay around her
Friends
Nik?
Friends?
With Caroline?
Of all the ridiculous shit
He gave her the empress' dress for prom
While denying me the opportunity to start over
He let the dog live to keep her happy
On graduation
He came because she invited him
Saved her
Once again
Promised forever
FOR-FUCKING-EVER
And
Never even thought to come see me
Never even searched for Kol
He confessed it
When I came to New Orleans
Fresh from my summer of love
I came to nurse
His autumn of heartbreak
He rambled on
Intending to be her last
Now
She now hated him
Yes…again
Because
He fucked the werewolf
Got her pregnant
It is not fair
I was the one that wanted children!
But he was having a kid
She was in Mystic Falls
Hating him
Not ever wanting to see him again
He was in New Orleans
In body only
Fighting half-heartedly
Drinking himself to sleep
Every night
Waiting for the birth of a child
To fill a void
Despising the one that carries it
In her constant presence
Then the child was born
Not meant to survive
Only one thing could save her
We knew a week before the birth
There was no way
Antidote only came every 500 years
It had been only 19 since last
I got the call
She was in the city
She beckoned
Said she could help
I went out of curiosity
Mostly
I needed to leave the house
Could not take
The pain in his face
Was too much
Or look at the wolf bitch
Or watch Elijah
Dote on her
It was sick
Like
He was the expecting father
A worried husband
While Nik did nothing
Just stared at his progeny
So I went
Because I thought
If she mocked him
I could at least beat her
Torture
Take the venom out on her
She looked sad
Tormented
She handed me a vile
Telling me
It was what He needed
She explained what it was
I took it
Without looking at it
I was already haunted
I saw the look
The way those blue eyes
Eyes I always found so cold
Hated so much
Warmed
Turned liquid
She handed me a letter
Said to put it in his bed
My heart hurt
Because I knew this was IT
The final IT
If she was in his heart before
Now she had become the actual organ
His circulatory system
If he were alive
It would be solely because of her
He proved me right immediately
As soon as the child was well
He asked
I considered lying
But I couldn't
No matter what he does
He's the brother I will always love best
He's never left me
Even if he daggered me
Hurt me
So I told him
And I saw life in those eyes
It was as if he gasped
Breathed again
I told him about the letter
He ignored the doppelganger news
Darted out to read it
I knew she would be there
She didn't tell me
She didn't have to
Love is visible
And it was there
In her face
You can smell it
Infusing the air around her
She had finally come to him
He was…Happy
Can you believe that?
Death every where
Constant threats
But
Nik was happy
So happy he didn't see it
Not at the beginning
She had changed
She wasn't the goody girl
She wasn't neurotic
She was driven
She wanted to fight
There was fire in her eyes
She committed to the mission
Even Elijah began talking to her
And I…
She talked to me
At first it was tense
We don't like each other
We sniped
Made nasty comments
Called each other names
I don't know how
It all changed
Along the way I learned
Her ways
I never had a female friend
Except with that trip with Elena
But she was a robot
Unfeeling
Caroline was far from that
One day I saw her
Using what she learned from me
Cold blood
Shocked me to the core
She hates the wolf chick
Never goes near her
Pretended she wasn't there
And the baby…
She didn't get too close
To her
Most times
The baby was something else
She would search for her in a room
Follow the blond with her eyes
Like her father
She smiles at Caroline
As if she knew
She owed her the air she breaths
Sometimes Caroline gets close
Touches her cheek
She looks in her eyes
But something overcomes her
And she walks away
On those times
She wants to go out and fight
She wants to search for information
So she uses her charm to gain advantage
For him
She uses violence to fight
For him
Oh his behalf
I've only seen one fighter more ruthless
Merciless
And it's the one that makes her scream
In ecstasy
At night
Sometimes during the day
Or the afternoon
The one that bleeds for her
The one that breaks every day
Because something's gone from her eyes
From her soul
I catch him pining
For the woman in front of him
Because Nik knows how to break
He's never had to put anything together
Now you! What do you think?
