2 years later

Much had changed. There were no longer security guards seven days a week twenty four hours a day, they were only there when her brothers were gone. She didn't have a security detail when she was home only when she wanted to go out into town by herself and her brothers were too busy to accompany her; she told her brothers she wouldn't have it. So as a compromise Elijah, Nik or Kol had to be with her at all times. And the cameras where there too, but were turned off most of the time. Rebekah was trying to sneak out of the house tonight, honestly she would never learn, because she was going on a date. And she actually really liked this boy, he was sweet, charming, and a total gentlemen. She had her heels in hand so as to try and minimize the noise she was making. She peeked in at the living room where her brothers were. "Good" she thought "they won't notice me leaving." Just as she spun around she came face to face with Kol and almost would have fallen if he hadn't of grabbed her around her waist.

"What are you doing?" he asked seriously arching one of his eyebrows.

"umm" she said while playing with her hair nervously.

"Why do you have heels in your hand?"

"I can explain…" she was going to have to figure that out – and quickly.

"Why are you all dressed up?"

"Kol! Can you just pretend you didn't see me. Pleaseee!" she asked putting both her hands together.

"Absolutely not, our brothers would dagger me."

"What's going on Bekah" said Nik while crossing his arms and coming to stand next to Kol.

"Oh great" here comes the cavalry.

"Where do you think you are going" asked Elijah in that fatherly tone of his and looked her up in down and gave her that "you are not leaving the house wearing that" look.

"Umm. Im going out"

"Great. Where are you going? We'd be more than happy to accompany you" said Nik gesturing to his brothers and himself.

Rebekah slid in-between Nik and Elijah and tried to slowly make her way to the front door and said "Oh, you don't have to do that. I'll be home before midnight. I promise" she said while slowly inching her way to the door.

"Bekah you know the rules" said Elijah firmly.

"You still haven't answered my question. Where are you going … and dressed like that" asked Kol leaning against the wall.

"Umm… well…. You see…. It's no big deal….. it's just …. Im …."

"Out with it Bekah" said Nik with a hint of anger in his voice. He hated when his sister would try to leave the house without one of them. The last thing he wanted to happen was another incident like the one with Mark.

"On a date" she said barely above a whisper. If her brothers weren't vampires they would have completely missed what she had said.

… … … … …

"A date" said Elijah "… with a boy?" Rebekah never went on dates, he thought. She usually did the whole dating backwards. Sex first, then she would ask their names, then maybe she wouldn't rip their head off before sunrise. But going out at all had stopped about two years ago, since the whole Mark incident. This was odd.

… … … … …

"If he seems to be a gentlemen, like you say he is he would have asked my permission to court you sister" stated Elijah.

"Elijah! Really? Permission, nobody asks permission anymore. It's fine. I promise. We are just going to dinner and a movie. That's it. I'll be home right after. I promise. "

"Do we even know who this person is?" asked Nik seriously.

"I don't think so"

"I think if he wants to go on a date with you he should at least have the decency to introduce himself to us" said Kol in a rare fatherly tone.

"Right you are Kol. When is this boy picking you up" said Nik with fake enthusiasm in his voice.

"umm… he's actually already here. I told him to wait at the end of the driveway" she said timidly. I was afraid of this. Now they are going to scare him off. They better not because I really like him. He's really sweet and kind to me, something no other man has shown me, except for my brothers in most recent years.

"Tell him to park his car outside the door and that we would like to talk to him" said Elijah.

"What, no! You guys are going to scare him away!"

"We will behave, I promise sister. Right Niklaus? Right Kol?" said Elijah giving then a warning look.

They both nodded in response. Niklaus had that devilish smile painted on his face while Kol just tried his best to look innocent. But he was thinking of a million different questions to ask Rebekah's date.

"Fine. I'll go tell him to park his car inside" said Rebekah with a huff. She grabbed hold of Kol's forearm while she put her heels on. Spun around and headed out the door.

… … … … …

"So … my brothers want to meet you"

"Wow. Are they going to kill me?" he asked with a nervous tone in his voice and a half smile.

"No, I would let them do that." But honestly she never knew with her brothers. Their actions were always volatile and could never be predicted.

"Why don't you park your car inside" she said with a reassuring smile.

"Alright" he tried his best to return a smile, but he was really nervous. He had no problem meeting his date's parents, in this case brothers, but from what she had told him they could be extremely moody.

"I'll be inside. It's cold out." And with that she walked into the mansion.

… … … … …

"It's done" she said when stepping foot in her family home.

"Thank you Rebekah" said Elijah.

"I'm going to go grab a jacket; it's much colder outside than I thought it was. I'll be right down" and with that she ascended the stairs and headed towards her bedroom.

Elijah was more than content with the weather at the moment and had a smile on his face.
