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?
