SO PROUD! TWO IN ONE DAY! :)
DON'T OWN ANYTHING!
Rebekah couldn't believe what was happening at the moment. She had unknowingly poured her heart out to Klaus, which was meant for Stefan. But he, quietly standing in the hallway, had heard it all. She didn't knew what hurt more; the miserable expression that Klaus wore in those frozen moments, or the beating in her chest that made her realize she had crated that expression. She grew careless and she shouldn't had said those things with Klaus so close. Those moments of tense silence, moments fill with unknown emotion and broken promises, was enough to make her knees hurt. She needed to sit down. Everything was tumbling down in front of her. He wasn't supposed to hear that.
"Why don't we give them some space Care? You tell me how your day has been. We can give them a moment" No! Don't go, she tried to say, but couldn't even open her mouth. She hadn't noticed Caroline in the background, quietly standing in the dark, unnoticed.
The moment they stepped out, the room turned cold and uncomfortable. She didn't know what to do, or say. She hated Nik, or at least she thought she did, but now she rethought those emotions.
"Why do you feel like I don't love you?" Klaus said tightly. Of all questions, he had to ask that one. She didn't knew how to answer this, so she told him, for once, the truth. She looked into his eyes, same color as hers, and said;
"Nik, you've done nothing but show me otherwise. For centuries, you have wanted me to follow you blindly, never giving mea say-"
"Yeah, but-"
"DO NOT interrupt me. Not now. Not ever again. See, t hat's your problem; you act before you think. You want to know why I don't love you like before. It's because for most of our lives together, whenever there was a problem, or you don't agreed with me on something, you hurt me. You are so paranoid, you don't even trust your own blood. You ripped this family apart, and I'm the only one left to follow you. But not anymore. You don't know how much it hurts to be your sister. You don't respect me. You are NOT the center of the universe Nick! And the worst thing is that you don't even care. Or you do care but don't do anything about it. You don't do a single shit to fix your wrongs. Caroline left her home to be with you because no one in Mystic Falls cares for you. The moment you open your eyes is the moment you will know that you are not the only one that matters"
When she was finished, she took a deep breath. It was so relieving having said all that. She just exploded. But someone had to make Klaus realize what he had been doing. Following him blindly had been a mistake.
"Wow. Um…. Nice to know what you think of me" He said jokingly. She knew his bullshit and this was it. He was hurt and was covering it up.
"Yeah, well, someone had to tell you"
He sighs
"There was a time when we all used to be connected. A time where we were close and tight. What happened? Why did you thought all this time that no one cared for you?" She said, desperately wanting him to open up.
"Because no one does! No one, not even my family. I don't belong anywhere, and this curse reminds me every time of that single detail. I just stopped caring all together. The moment I truly embraced the hybrid, was the moment I snapped. I realized I was a monster, and instead of hiding him, I thought I should just gain power with it. But I guess I lost control" He said, a sad look overlooking his face.
"I could have helped you. Instead you pushed me away. You humiliated me, and expected me to follow you anywhere to do anything. COUNTLESS OF PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF YOU! BECAUSE OF US! DON'T YOU REGRET THAT? KILLING THOSE PEOPLE?"
"Do I regret taking the lives of others? Sometimes, yes. You think I don't?" Klaus' eyes were building tears, while hers were already spilling angrily.
"You hurt me! A lot. I couldn't do anything or go anywhere before we took off again. I wanted a life, and you kept me from one" her voice was now calm, although there was a deep sadness laced in her voice.
"I didn't realized this. I always thought I was protecting you. I was scared of losing you. I didn't realized I was losing you anyways" He gives her one of those sad smiles that always melt her heart.
"You did loosed me for a while. Klaus, you're ruthless. You take people's life. Your cruelty has done things that… well, I can't even say them. But you have to understand, you've done nothing to earn respect, and you seem to think that respect and love comes out of misery and hurt. You need to change. People are not going to support you. If you want this city, you need to earn loyalty. Let Caroline help you with this. But if you don't, you're going to lose the most important thing you care about: Caroline"
"Little sister, I do realize my flaws and that I don't do anything to change. But that doesn't mean I don't care about people. Now I beg you for your forgiveness. For everything I've done. I didn't realize I was causing so much hurt in your life. But if I change my ways, people won't be frightened at my name"
"I don't understand your need for people to be frightened by you. Not only me have you hurt, your hurt countless people. I don't want that life. I won't forgive you until you've shown me that you can change. Show me that you have humanity in your life. Win this city fairly. Take away Marcel's kingdom with the help of his own subjects. Help people so that in return, they follow your command. Otherwise, you're just going to be a king with subjects who don't respect you and you will built your own ruin" With that, she turned and left.
I LOVED WRITING THIS CHAPTER!
THOUGHTS ON WHAT I SHOULD WRITE FOR THE NEXT ONE?
