Rebekah POV
We arrive at the Mystic Grill and Damon is not there yet. Why are you thinking about Damon?! Stop thinking about him! He was a one night stand! Nothing more!
He and Stefan went to stop the ritual…
Yes! But for Corina! He is Cora's brother!
So? Cora is engaged to Niklaus and he is my brother…
"Rebekah? Are you alright?" Says Finn interrupting my mental fight with myself.
"Yes, why?" I ask smiling.
"You had a strange look on your face…" He says but seems to accept my answer.
We all seat on an empty table and order a drink.
"So…" I start but it seems awkward. I don't know what to say. Too much have happened and I don't know what the first step is.
"How long do you think it will take until we can come back to the house?" Asked Kol breaking the silence.
"A month, if we are lucky." Said Elijah serious.
"A month? That's not much! Why so little time, brother?" Said Kol smirking.
"Maybe with her brothers here and the chance to get to know Finn will make it end sooner."
"I feel like I am missing something." Said Finn looking confuse and making me smile.
"When they first got together they were at each other nonstop! It was impossible to be around them! We left the house but every time we tried to return we couldn't 'cause they were always on each other! After the first month went by we decided that we had no choice but to look for a new house to live." I say explaining.
"Ok… And how long it lasted?" Said Finn awkwardly.
"A whole year!" Said Kol. "It was such a drag!"
"I second that." Said Elijah.
"And why stopped after a year?" Asked Finn.
"It started on her birthday, and she said she hadn't realized a year passed. She realized that, when in her birthday, in the next year, the gifts we bought to her arrived. She apologized and said that she would make sure such a thing didn't happen again." I say smiling. "Although every year they would travel alone for three months max."
"Yes, I read a letter that took a lot longer than the others. She would write to me every three months, maybe more. But this one had a bit more than a year of difference. She apologized for not have written to me sooner, although she didn't mentioned why. But she did mention that her birthday had passed and that in the previous birthday she and Niklaus became an item, although once again didn't get into details."
I smile remembering Corina's birthday.
Flashback Rebekah POV
I smile looking at how Corina is excited.
Five years ago, give or take, we met each other and became friends. Although when we first met it was more like party buddies. She had her emotions off but was still different from other vampires. Vampires with their emotions off usually go around murdering everybody because they don't care about a thing. She didn't care about a thing, and that included acting like other vampires acted. She was unique and I trusted her, and became her friend.
She never made me regret this choice. Everyone broke my trust and hurt me at some point, but not her. She looked out for me, especially since she turned her emotions back on. After a year in her company her emotions were on, but during that year with her emotions off she became a great family friend and we all truly trusted her. She even found out where Finn was, which surprised us all.
Kol one day just found her next to Finn reading a book to him. He got furious but she said calmly that she sometimes goes and reads something to Finn, or just talks to him about what is happening around the world. She said it was awesome because cause she had an 'Original' journal.
Kol told us, leaving us all completely shocked. Niklaus got angry and while we decided to just let her be, because she never did anything to make us not trust her, Niklaus decided to spy on her. He never said what he found out, but he let her continue with this and even stopped spying.
After her emotions were back on things progressed even more easily and soon she became a true family friend. And last year she became part of the family when she was staked on Kol's place when our father was hunting us. She almost died to save him, but she survived and we all escaped. Since then she became family.
I hoped she would become even more part of the family by having a relationship with Nik, but neither one of them made the first move. When I asked her she said that Niklaus was my brother and being with him could end up destroying this new found family for her. She didn't want to lose us, and didn't even think Nik was in love with her, attraction yes, love no.
Nik, on the other hand when asked if he had feelings of love for her, denied. Too afraid to open up and/or show any weakness.
Now here we are, at her birthday party (((AN: I know they didn't celebrate birthdays in 1873 but work with me because here they did!))). And she has in her company William, an English vampire.
Yes! I know! She doesn't have Nik so the one she has a serious relationship with is English! Could she show more to everyone that she loves Nik? No! It's quite obvious to everyone! And Nik too! He looks like he is about to rip William's heart out, something that he looks like is about to do ever since Cora introduced him to us.
I look outside the window. The sky looks so beautiful tonight. I see a shooting star and I make a wish.
"Let them be together and happy! Please!" I say in a low whisper.
I walk around and enjoy the party. Hours later I hear William and Cora talking.
"William?"
"I know that you think of them as family but I want you to be my family! Let's be together! We can get married and live eternity together! I love you!"
No! Corina can't leave us! I think scared.
"William…" She starts to say but he interrupts her.
"They will kill you at some point! I know you think of them as family but they are monsters! They are playing with you! You are a toy and when they get tired you will be thrown away!"
"You should leave. Now." I hear Corina's voice angry, furious. I've never seen her angry and or furious.
"I am not leaving without you! I love you!"
"You are not leaving with me. I am not leaving them. Say what you want, but between the world and them, I will choose them. I finally have a family; they care and look out for me. I might even dare to say that they love me. And they are not monsters!"
"But… I love you!" I hear him say in a desperate tone.
"I love them. I do not love you! Don't let the door hit you on your way out." She says in a cold tone.
"You will die! And I will laugh so much when that happens! Wait and see!"
Then I hear a slap and I run inside the room to see Corina's cheek red and William's hand still in the air. I get furious and I am about to attack him when she turn her gaze at my direction and shakes her head.
"No! No one is killing anybody on my party. Let him go! Let him run while we celebrate. It's my birthday party and I won't let him ruin it." She says serious.
"Run and hide. Try your best. But know that your best won't ever be enough. We will hunt you. You didn't actually think you could say those things to Cora, that you could hit her and survive did you? No one hurts our family and make no mistake, Corina is family." I hear the voice of Elijah saying behind me and I turn to see him, Kol and Nik with murderous looks on their faces.
I turn back to Corina and I see her smile at the comment about her being family.
"We love her and you hurt her. Two plus two equals you suffering a long and extremely painful death." I say angry.
"I will take my time with you. You will be my master piece." Kol says with an evil smirk.
I look at Nik and he is not saying a thing. He has his eyes closed and hands in a fist. I guess it takes all his self-control to not kill him on the spot…
William runs away and Nik walks towards Corina. He puts his hand on her hurt cheek.
"We Love you! Don't ever doubt or forget that! You are family! Now and Forever!" Nik says serious and with a lot of intensity.
Will they be together now? I think.
But they don't get together. The party goes on and the time to cut the cake and make a wish arrives. Cora is about to blow the candles and make a wish when Nik blows them first.
"Hey I was supposed to do that and make a wish!" Cora says playfully angry, she is about to slap him in the arm when he grabs her hand.
"There was no need for you to make a wish. From now on I will be the one making sure all your wishes come true." Nik says and the party stops.
In a split second they are kissing and going at each other without thinking or blinking. I smile and like the others I have to leave the house so I do not see too much of my brother and my sister.
Thank you so much Shooting Star!
End of Flashback
Rebekah POV
"So that's how they got together?" Asked Damon sitting with us.
I smile and say. "You finally got here! What took you so long…" I start but then I take a better look at him. "Oh My God! Damon! What happened?!"
