No One's POV

Morning broke at the Mikaelson mansion, finding the brothers with more energy than usual now that they had all four found their mate, even if it was the same woman.

Elijah was upstairs looking through Esther's study for any clues that could help them, Kol and Finn were both hovering around Alexis, and Niklaus was just placing a plate of food in front of her when the doors of the mansion burst open and Rebekah enters, striding into the living room a moment later.

"Well, well, well, there's our girl!" Kol teases with a smirk flashing in front of Rebekah.

"Get out of my way, Kol." Rebekah demands.

"Out all night. What a scandal! I trust you did better than that commoner? Matt, was it?" Kol continues to pester.

"If you don't shut your mouth, the next thing to come out of it will be your teeth." Rebekah snarls.

Niklaus grins slightly, face still turned towards his sketch pad.

"Don't start, Nik!" Rebekah snarls defensively.

Alexis suddenly remembers the rejection Rebekah faced from Matt the night before and feels a rush of compassion for the only girl Original.

"I didn't say anything." Niklaus defends.

"Kol, Nik. Enough. Stop teasing your sister. It's not nice." Alexis says firmly, pausing her eating, fork half lifted to her mouth.

"But I'm bored! Our sister is a-" Kol complains.

"Kol, if you finish that fucking sentence." Alexis warns, whipping around to glare at Kol, Kol immediately snapping his mouth shut at his mate's look.

"She's having fun. I need entertainment." Kol whines instead.

Alexis rolls her eyes at his childish behavior, forking another bite into her mouth, ignoring Rebekah's prying and wondering looks.

"What are you waiting for? Go on, have at it." Niklaus waves, not looking up from his sketch pad.

"It's not fun to go alone. Join me, Nik! It's the least you can do after sticking a dagger in my heart." Kol complains.

"Okay. Why not? I didn't have nearly enough to drink last night, what with you trying to murder Rebekah's date." Niklaus sighs, placing his pad and pencil down.

"Yes, please go, this house has enough men rolling around in it." Rebekah urges.

"Just like you, Bekah." Kol quips.

"Good riddance, both of you!" Rebekah yells, throwing a shoe at Kol.

"You'll be alright, angel?" Kol asks, ducking his sister's shoe to flash over to his mate.

"What? Oh, I'll be fine, Kol. Have fun with Nik. Remember what I told you, yes? So be careful." Alexis encourages.

"We won't let it get that far." Kol promises. "We'll stop our mother."

"Right, we'll have fun playing cat and mouse." Alexis nods.

"We will, darling." Niklaus grins, and in a flash both Niklaus and Kol are gone.

"Alright, so who are you? Why are you here?" Rebekah demands, now flashing in front of Alexis.

Finn lets out a warning growl, baring his teeth to his youngest sibling, making Rebekah take a step back, her gaze widening in surprise.

"Rebekah." Elijah reprimands lightly, coming down the stairs.

"Not you too, Elijah." Rebekah complains, believing it was about her coming in this morning from sleeping out. "How is this fair? Kol and Niklaus get to whore around, with a human no less? But I'm the one that gets scolded like a child for sleeping around?"

Finn growls again, bullying his way between his sister and Alexis as if believing his sister might hurt his mate.

"Rebekah." Elijah growls, tone firmer, absolute. "That was not what I was going to comment on. You may do what you would like. However, that comment was uncalled for."

"This is Alexis. And you will treat her with respect." Elijah says firmly to his youngest sibling. "She is Finn, Niklaus, Kol, and I's mate."

Rebekah's gaze widens even more, starring at Elijah in disbelief before turning back to Alexis.

"No!" Rebekah shakes her head in denial.

"Hello, Rebekah. It's nice to meet you." Alexis smiles a bit nervously, deciding to ignore Rebekah's previous comment, she did understand to a point, Rebekah was always sort of shoved to the side in favor of the brothers, and hoping that the only female Original would like her, she always liked Rebekah, the fire and spunk she saw in her was very admirable, also Rebekah was stunningly beautiful.

Rebekah only glares, stomping off up the stairs to her room, door slamming shut a moment later.

"I will talk to her. I apologize for her behavior, Elskan." Elijah offers.

"It's fine, Elijah. We can work it out. There is no need to scold her. I am a big girl you know. Believe it or not I can handle it when someone doesn't like me." Alexis points out.

"As you wish, Elskan." Elijah nods, settling down in an arm chair close to the couch Alexis was sitting in.

"You do need to talk to her about guarding Elena, however." Alexis points out.

"Will you be alright here by yourself?" Elijah worries.

"Finn will be with me for a while. Kol and Nik are keeping the remaining Scooby gang distracted, and once Finn leaves, meeting up with Esther, no one should be coming after me, and no one else knows about me other than your family. So I believe I will be. I can keep myself entertained until you get back. So yes, I will be perfectly alright, Elijah. There is nothing for anyone you to worry about. I appreciate it though." Alexis smiles.

"Very well, I will talk to Rebekah and fill her in about the plan, and then we will need to leave soon." Elijah nods.

"I know you're an Original, but stay safe." Alexis wishes.

"Of course, thank you, Astin." Elijah smiles, and with a brush of wind is gone.
