Rebekah's POV

My fingers curled around his neck bringing him closer. I matched his lip pace with my own as he cupped my face. My fingers around his neck slowly inched up into his surprisingly soft black hair. The kiss deepened and my hands trailed down from his neck to his chest as I pushed off the jacket on his shoulders to the floor. I gripped his shoulders as I pressed him against the wall. As soon as his back hit the wall he pulled away and gently pushed me away from him. I couldn't help but feel a little hurt by his rejection. His eyes were trained on the ground as he slowly said "We should stop…we don't need any more drama today". I hid my hurt expression by turning away from him to look out the window. I hesitantly said in a low voice "Yeah we wouldn't want that". We both stayed quiet for a minute before Percy said "Uh, maybe you should go check on Hayley". I ignored him and stood still for a moment before I whipped around "Why did you kiss me?". Then I noticed he moved so that he was sitting on the foot of the bed while he fiddled with the daylight ring on his finger. He froze when he registered my question before letting out a relatively shaky breath as he said "There was…blood…on your lips". Oh. So he only kissed me because he still lusted for blood.

I tried not to look sadden by his words as I said "Because of the blood? That's it? There's no other reason why you kissed me?". Percy pursed his lips as he quietly said "Nope there's no other reason" while looking at the floor once again. Angered that he couldn't look me in the eyes I walked in front of him and pulled his chin up so he looked right into my eyes "Could you repeat that?". He pulled my hand away from his chin and said "Rebekah what do you want me to say" while keeping eye contact with me. I clenched my jaw and said "Was the blood lust really the only reason you kissed me?". His eyes wandered over my face until he said "No…it wasn't the only reason, but none of that matters because nothing can happen between us".

"Why?"

"Because I couldn't handle it"

"What do you mean?"

"Rebekah…I feel so lost right now, I couldn't handle getting to know everything about you without driving myself crazy. I need to find out about myself before I can find out about anyone else"

His voice sounded so strain as he rested his face into his hands. It was then that I figured out that his visit to the Artic must have been harder on him then I expected. He must have felt so out of place having been in two different places in less than a week. Without hesitation I walked forward and wrapped my arms around his head pulling him close. I softly said "What if I find you?" he pulled away slightly and said "What are you talking about?". I rolled my eyes at him and said "What if I get to you know and tell you who you are" he narrowed his eyes at me and said "Huh?". I tugged on his hair softly and said "Just act anyway you want and when a couple months pass I'll tell you about this vampire called Percy". Percy smiled sadly and said "I meant I'm lost without my memories Rebekah". I shrugged and said "Then forget about finding out about your past memories and make some new ones with my family and I instead". He contemplated for a minute until he said "It sounds really tempting, but I need to do this on my own". I was about to protest when there was a knock on the door.

Elijah entered after the knock not a second later and everything barricading the door flew to the side. His eyes stop on my bloody neck before they flickered between Percy and I as I backed away from him and turned to face my brother. Elijah's eyes wandered around the room and stopped on the jacket I pushed to the floor. I nervously asked "How's Hayley and Jackson?" as I watched his eyes narrowed at the clothing suspiciously before he wiped his face clean of any expression and said "They unfortunately turned back before I could convince Klaus to allow Hope to see her mother". I clenched my fists in anger at my cruel brother until Elijah said to Percy "I take it you still haven't yet fully mastered your thirst". Percy stood up straight and said "Unfortunately no, I haven't yet managed to control myself". My brother nodded in understanding and said "Then come with me we have some training to do" then walked out of the room. Percy stood still for a moment before he reached down to pick his jacket off the floor and walked out after Elijah. Leaving me alone in the room to think of the events that had just happened.

Percy's POV

My fist collided with jaw as his collided with my stomach. We both stumbled back breathing heavily. With my heart pounding against my chest I evaded his most recent attack by rolling to the side. Then I ripped the leg off of one of the wooden tables and threw it at his face only to be caught by one of his hands. Inwardly groaning at his skills, I dodged the stake he threw by rushing behind one of the tables. Elijah let out a rather breathless taunt "Stop hiding behind objects you can't always expect them to be in your disposal when you fight". Catching my breath, I peered over the table to see where he was only to narrowing miss a hammer. I ducked down cursing under my breath at his deadly accuracy. Fed up with hiding I jumped over the table and slid at his legs. Elijah jumped and clung to a wooden beam above us. Standing quickly, I was met with a rather hard kick to the face from his leather dress shoes causing me to crash into the wall behind me. If I was human I'm pretty sure I would be headless now. I slumped against the wall and said "Okay…I'm done…I give up". The thousand-year-old vampire glared at me and said "Were done when I say were done, so stand up and fight". Feeling irritated I jumped to my feet while clutching my jaw and said "We've been fighting since last night, how long do you plan to keep me here". He let out a long sigh while pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Until you get thirsty we will keep sparing"

My entire body stiffened at the word "Thirsty" as I caught on to what his intentions were with me. in disbelief I said "You want to fight the…thirsty…me". The original shook his head as he folded the sleeves of his dress shirt.

"That is not my intention"

"Then would you care to explain to me what it is?"

"I'm going to starve you to the point you nearly mummify"

I stared at him for a few seconds to see if he was kidding or not but his expression remained neutral. Confused I said "What do you gain from that?". He looked me straight in the eyes and said "I get to see a monster break out from its shell". Even more confused I said "What monster? What are you talking about?". Elijah rolled his shoulders then walked closer to me so we were face to face and said "Don't you wonder why you don't remember a single thing but your name?".

"Of course I do but what does that have to with anything?"

"Don't you think someone erased them because you were a monster inside and they were trying to hide that from you"

"I thought I was already one out front"

"You are, but based on your performance with a fully quench thirst you aren't nearly as strong as when your thirsty"

"Are you asking me to lose control to see how strong I am"

"Precisely. When I recall the events before you left-"

"I didn't leave I was sent away"

"When you were…sent away…you managed to take down two original vampires single handedly just because you wanted a drink of blood"

"Isn't that the same as wanting to fight a thirsty me"

"No, I will only fight you if I get the results I expected if not then I will give you blood to feed on and end our training session until tomorrow afternoon"

"And how do you plan to control me when I get thirsty"

"I have a few tricks up my sleeve"

"Mind telling me what those tricks are, I don't particularly like surprises"

"A magician never reveals his secrets"

Then I felt it. My body crumbled to the floor as my vision blurred. I looked up to see a young brown haired girl probably around 18 or so looking down at me. Vaguely I heard her say "What do want me to do with him?". Elijah turned to the girl and said "Nothing…yet…I'm just waiting for him to get thirsty. As for you, you should protect yourself he's…a little…aggressive". I tried to get up only to be pushed down again. The girl looked away from me and said "I could speed up the process if you want". The vampire pondered for a moment before he said "I suppose that will make this quicker…go ahead". Then the girl walked closer to me and said "This is going to hurt…a lot" then I blacked out.

When I woke up again I was sprawled across the floor with a puddle of blood around me. My throat burned as I looked around the room. Elijah was talking with the girl from earlier in the corner of the room in hushed voices. I tried to listen to their conversation but Elijah stopped talking and began walking towards me. He kneeled by my side and said "I hope your prepared to fight yourself for some restraint" then he turned to the girl and said "Davina you're up". Suddenly the smell of blood filled my nose as I felt my fangs grow out. I looked to where the blood was coming from to see the girl with a bloody knife in one hand and her other dripping blood onto the floor. Before I knew it I was already on my feet and running at the girl at full speed. I was a couple of inches away from her before I was thrown through a wall and was lying flat on back outside with broken pieces of wood around me. Elijah appeared in my line of sight and every part of my body screamed "Kill him!".

I quickly stood up again and charged him. He tried to push me away again but I caught his arms and twisted them behind his back before I swiftly planted my hands around his head and with a quick twist I snapped his neck. I threw his unconscious body to the side as I approached the girl who instead of looking scared, looked rather calm. The girl narrowed her eyes at me and said "Impressive, I've never seen an Original go down like that so fast and from an ordinary vampire nonetheless". I ignored her words as all my attention went to the blood dripping from her palm down her arm. She said "I could help you control that thirst if you want, but…I'd need something in return". I walked closer to her and she held out her palm without hesitation. I grabbed her hand and sunk my fangs into her wrist drinking her blood. While I drank she said "Let's consider this a favor and I expect to it to be returned when I need it". She pushed me away after a while and said "That's enough" but I wasn't yet satisfied so I tried to get more. She rose her hand in front of me and I crumpled to the ground in pain while holding my head. The girl leaned down and said "By the way, my names Davina… and I'll be seeing you soon" then she twisted her hand and I was out once again.

Elijah's POV

I woke up with a rather small headache as I stood and looked around me. I was outside of the wooden shed we were training in and there was broken pieces of wood from the once present wall scattered around the grass floor. Then I remembered the events that happened before I was knocked out. I walked inside the shed to see Percy on the floor in an uncomfortable looking position with blood stained lips. Davina probably allowed Percy to drink her blood. But for what reason, she normally would kill any vampire that tried to attack her. What was she up to?

Looking at his position on the floor he was probably acting greedy and she snapped his neck. I leaned down and slung his limp body over my shoulders and I took off towards the house. When I arrived not a minute later I saw Rebekah sitting on the porch drink a glass of wine while looking at her phone. She rushed towards me when she noticed my presence and said "What the bloody hell happened to him?". I continued to walk towards the house and said "Davina Claire happened to him". Rebekah gave me a confused look and said "Davina? What was she doing with you guys?". We walked inside and I set Percy on one of the couches

"I requested her to come with us"

"And why would you do that"

"I was…experimenting"

"Elijah what did you do?"

"Nothing major, I just starved Percy to see whether or not his strength would increase when he's hungry"

"You starved him"

"Yes, I take full responsibility for what happened and I will apologize to him as soon as he wakes"

"If you starved him then why is there blood coating his lips"

"Davina fed him"

Rebekah's face went emotionless as she said "He drank Davina's blood". I confirmed it and said "Is there a problem with him feeding on people". Rebekah stared at Percy's blood stained lips and said "No…no problem at all". Then she turned away from him to face me and said "Well was it worth it"

"Yes, now I know he could possibly defeat Klaus if he is in a blood lust"

"Elijah...are you thinking of sending Percy after Klaus"

"No, that would be reckless"

My sister glanced down at Percy and said "He could use a change of scenery". I raised my eyebrow at her and said "What do you mean?". She rolled her eyes at me and said "He needs a break from the supernatural world, he was sent away for a year to gain some restraint only to return an animal with a murderous intent whenever he sees blood…Elijah if anything, your friends ruined him". I clenched my jaw at her words. Maybe sending him to vampires in the Artic wasn't the best idea I've had. I crossed my arms and said "And what do you purpose we do with him". Rebekah fake pondered before she said "Let me take him out tonight for a night in the town, we'll visit a club and have some fun". I immediately protested "Rebekah, he doesn't have the self-control around humans". Rebekah said "Yes he does, as long as they don't bleed and he's filled on blood he'll be fine, besides I'll be with him to knock some sense back into him". We continued arguing for a couple of minutes about him going into the town until I gave in. Rebekah smiled and said "You won't regret this". Shaking my head, I said "I probably will" she shrugged and said "Probably…I have one more request…". Not surprised I said "Go on".

She pursed her lips and said "Let me train with Percy in controlling his thirst". I stiffened at the reminder of how dangerous Percy was when he was thirsty.

"Absolutely not Rebekah"

"Elijah please, he won't hurt me"

"Rebekah when he's thirsty he has no sense of control, he'll hurt you regardless if he doesn't want to"

"I have faith in him"

"Well I don't and I won't allow it"

She glared at me and said "Would you stop being stubborn and let me help him". I glared back at her and said "I'm only stubborn for your well-being" she crossed her arms and said "I don't need your protection Elijah, I'm not some little girl that needs her big brother to watch out for her 24/7". I knew this wasn't going to go anywhere so I proposed a compromised. I said "If things go well when you go to the club then you can train Percy in his restraint". Rebekah smirked and said "Deal". Then on que a groan erupted from the unconscious vampire.

We turned to see Percy siting up on the couch rubbing his forehead. Rebekah walked to him and softly said "How do you feel?". He looked at her and I noticed his body visibly loosened up around her he said "Like crap…can I have some blood". Rebekah said "Sure" then held her wrist out to him. Percy looked at her wrist confused and said "I meant a blood bag". Rebekah retracted her arm and said "Right, I'll be back". Then walked towards the kitchen. Why did she give him her wrist to drink out of? Then I remembered how her neck was bloody when I walked in on them upstairs and how they were up there for a while. It suddenly became clear to me as Rebekah walked in and handed Percy three blood bags. As Percy downed the bags I said to him "How about you go upstairs and take a shower". He hesitantly nodded when he saw my evidently shown expression and walked upstairs. When he was gone from my line of sight I turned towards Rebekah and said "We need to talk". Her eyebrows quirked as she said "About what?". I looked at her with a blank expression and said "About you giving Percy your blood".
