Not exactly how I wanted it to turn out but I still hope you will enjoy it. Sorry for taking so long to update but there will be more.


Rebekah is in a position she figured she would never end up in. She is somewhere in the depths of the woods with Elena and a weakened and hurt Elijah standing behind her and a group of wolves in front of her. It makes her wonder. Elena who betrayed her and a brother who was lost to her now both need her protection and she has no idea why is is giving it.

The first wolf charges her.

She hates herself for betraying Nik and Elena knows it.
The wolves' skull cracks when it is smashed against a large stone.

Another wolve comes at her.

She hates herself for caring so much for Elijah and Elena. She knows they can see it.
A startled whimper sounds when she breaks the animals' neck.

She hates herself for wanting her family back.
The next whimper sounds, the next wolf dead.

She hates herself for the sickening satisfaction she gets when Elena flinches as Rebekah rips a wolf's heart out directly in front of the girl.
The carcass falls down with a thud.

She hates herself for wanting her family back together because all that will cause is more pain to all of them.
Two more wolves fall dead to her feet.

She hates herself for falling in love so easily. It makes her weak and unable to protect the people she has always loved.
A wolf's body is staked by a thick branch of a tree.

She hates herself for being weak when she should be strong enough to protect those she loves.
She is pushed backwards by the weight of a wolf.

It is then, seconds before the large animal bites her than another wolf comes from the woods and with a cruel growl grips the animal on top of her and rips it off. They fight and all she can do is watch as teeth and claws colide. The black wolf that has rescued her comes out as the winner, ripping out the throat of the other.

Even as the wolf turns into Nik she jumps to her feet and rushes into his arms. He has saved her. In his arms she seems to be able to breathe again, everything seems to make sense.

She loves him.
She hates herself for that, too.
