Rosa paced the room as the others all did the same.
"You are failing in your task," said the witches in her head. She didn't want the others to know about them so she did her best to pretend they weren't there. Klaus looked at her every two seconds just to make sure Kol hadn't taken her, or worse, she had done something stupid. He recalled what the witches had said, the pain they had caused her. If he could make them suffer he would, but as they were beyond his reach he could not.
"So let me get this straight. Kol is willing to risk our family for her!" yelled Rebecca, pointing an accusatory finger at Rosa.
"I never asked for Kol's attention, nor did I ever return it!" yelled Rosa back. "And I shall warn you now Rebecca, you do not want to anger me!" Klaus reached out to her wrist, clasping it tight.
"Rosa, control yourself," he whispered.
"She cannot say anything! How many people have you killed Rebecca? How many lives have you ruined because of your bloodlust?" continued Rosa, pulling her hand out of Klaus'.
"You are just as guilty as I am of ruining lives!" yelled Rebecca at the top of her voice before rushing straight towards her. Rosa grinned wickedly and reached out her arms. Klaus stepped back, fearing for his own safety. The darkness started to surge up her arms in coils, moving around. Rebecca came to a sharp halt, mere inches away from her. "Think of all the people Klaus alone has hurt just in order to find you," she whispered, taking two steps backwards. Fear flashed across her face. "You speak of being a witch, meaning you should protect the balance of nature. Well then go on. Kill me," she spat. Rosa gave another wicked smirk and Klaus looked at her face. All colour had left her irises and they were now an empty black.
"Rosa, do not do this. Please I beg of you," he said, though there was something in his voice. Perhaps his sister was now a liability and no longer of significance to him personally. Rosa briefly glanced at him before turning back to Rebecca, who now appeared as her pray. Rebecca must have noticed this. She started running towards the door but it slammed shut before she got to it. Rosa inched towards her and stood in front of her.
"You were always the one who we doubted could change," she said, but it sounded like a thousand people speaking at the same time. "We thought that perhaps I could help," one then said.
"Mom?" said Rebecca quietly.
"But you have shown you are incapable of controlling your anger," said the many voices. "For that we must punish you. But you deserve worse than death," Rosa's hand reached out towards Rebecca, the darkness swirling around it. "You will be punished with the one thing we know you fear," Her hand connected to Rebecca's forehead and the darkness swirled down, across her body. "You will be alone for eternity. Suspended in a state where you can see everything that happens around you but cannot move, talk until we decide to lift the curse. Prove to us you can have remorseful thoughts." Rosa collapsed to the ground, her body limp and she appeared unconscious. The darkness quickly washed away from Rebecca, flooding through the cracks into the ground. She was frozen, but her eyes were able to move. Klaus looked at her, pity in his eyes but moved to Rosa instead.
"Rosa, can you hear me?" he said, lifting her head up to sit on his lap.
"What just happened?" she asked with a failing voice. She looked up at Rebecca and immediately turned away, her stomach churning with sick. "Niklaus oh Niklaus. I am so, so sorry. I am sorry," she said, tears falling down her face. He embraced her tightly before glancing towards Elijah, who stood there unsure what to do. Rosa collapsed into Klaus' arms, tears falling onto him.
"You did what was right," said Niklaus.
