Chapter 20: The Horse
"What happened, Klaus?" Sasha asked after she walked outside to check on him.
"Rebekah is awake," Klaus informed her sounding agitated, "Marcel told me that she just showed up yesterday and he decided to wait a day to tell me the idiot and she feeding recklessly and giving him trouble. He claims not to know who woke her."
Sasha feels they're really only two options for what happened either a curious hybrid went inside the truck and undaggered her or Marcel found the truck and it now trying to act like he had nothing to do with it.
She bets that Marcel woke her. It feels like something he'd do.
"Klaus, obviously we need to leave immediately," Sasha states decidedly, "I'll give my friends an excuse and then you and Jackson can drive back and I'll teleport back."
"You can't take us with you?" Klaus asked with a frown.
"No, unless you want to be horribly burned?" Sasha asked rhetorically.
Klaus actually looks like he's considering it so Sasha sighs in exasperation and says, "Klaus just drive back there's no reason for you let yourself be hurt. I'll deal with Rebekah and make sure your other siblings are fine, I promise."
Klaus stares at her a few moments with an unreadable expression but eventually he agrees, "Fine, love but I expect a text as soon as you find Rebekah and make sure the rest of my siblings are undisturbed."
"Of course." Sasha nods.
"Guys, we've got to leave early, something came up at work." Sasha explains to her friends with an apologetic smile on her face.
Tate looked concerned at that and mouthed 'everything okay?' to her behind everyone else's back.
Sasha shot him a reassuring smile and then returned the embrace that Chelsea gave her and the redhead whispered to her, "Remember what I said, ask Vanessa."
"Yeah, yeah." Sasha responded and stepped back out of her embrace into Ethan's.
He lifted her off her feet and said, "It was nice seeing you again, call us once in a while, will ya?"
"Okay but you better treat Chelsea right while I'm gone." Sasha warned playfully after he put her down.
"What no concern for me, she's pretty scary sometimes!" Ethan responded cheekily as he let her go.
"Chelsea, good luck." Sasha snorted.
"Oi!" Ethan pouted.
"See you I guess." Natasha said passive aggressively as she frowned at Sasha with crossed arms.
"She'll miss you," Vanessa translated for Natasha, "And I will too, bye for now."
"Bye guys." Sasha smiled and then she went to the car to make it look likes she was leaving with Klaus and Jackson.
"Hey, Klaus?" Chelsea asked as walked over to him before he could head out to the car too.
"Yes?" Klaus asked with forced patience.
"Take care of Sasha, okay?" Chelsea requested, "And excuse me for saying so but let her take care of you, too."
Klaus looked at her with guarded expression before he says, "That's rather presumptuous of you."
He starts to turn away from her but Chelsea bold response stops his departure, "But I'm right aren't I?"
"Goodbye Chelsea." Klaus answers with a small telling smirk on his face.
Sasha teleported back to the city and landed outside in the alleyway to Rousseau's where Marcel said Rebekah was and moved to head inside. She could hear them arguing and when she walks inside she sees Rebekah sitting at the bar drinking a tequila looking at Marcel with disdain as he stood next to her with his arms crossed looking frustrated with the blonde.
"Rebekah, can you stop mindlessly killing the tourists," Marcel requested sounding extremely annoyed, "There are rules to keep the peace in the city and you breaking them all is making my life harder."
"Good," Rebekah says spitefully, "It's not anything you don't deserve, you backstabbing wanker!"
She then downs her drink and struts away from him with her nose turned away from him in a haughty manner toward the door of the bar. Where Sasha happened to be standing still in the black dress and knee high boots that she wore for her graduation.
Sasha was in Rebekah way and the taller girl looked like she was about to say something biting to get her to move when she actually looked at Sasha. She blatantly looks her up and down with an interested look on her face.
"Hello lovely, I'm Rebekah," She says with a flirtatious smile on her face, "And you are?"
"My name's Sasha." Sasha responds slightly taken aback by Rebekah's positive reaction to her.
"Sasha," Rebekah repeats thoughtfully as she eyes her with a narrowed eyed expression on her face, "What a pretty name."
"Thank you, I like your name too." Sasha responds truthfully.
"Would you like to go on a walk with me, Sasha?" Rebekah asks her with a smirk on her lips.
Sasha is stunned again by her behavior but manages to nod. Rebekah grins and loops her arm with Sasha's and guides her out into the night.
Rebekah's grip on her arm was somewhat tight as she casually asks, "So, how's my brother these days?"
"I-I'm sorry?" Sasha stutters not expecting that question.
"Nik, how is he?" Rebekah rewords.
"...He's fine." Sasha answers cautiously.
"Hmm, you know I wonder what exactly he thinks he's doing creating his little army and getting himself a new arm candy while he leaves his family hidden away in boxes," Rebekah muses offhandedly before her face shifts into indignation and she shouts, "it's not fair at all!"
"It's really not," Sasha responds immediately in a serious tone and launches into an impassioned speech, "Rebekah you do not deserve to have your life monopolized by your brothers. You're a brilliant, passionate kick-ass woman who should be able to have the life she wants. But I'm going to give you the life you need and that means we're going to be best friends. We can talk shit about Nik together while watching trashy TV. I'd love to help you experience being a human girl in the twenty first century. I'm not arm candy, Rebekah. I'm the vessel of the Mikaelson family's Guardian. It's my job to get you, your happily ever after. So to start, tell me Rebekah want do you want to do right this moment and we'll do it."
Rebekah just stared at her completely speechless and backed away from Sasha who patiently waited for her response. Eventually she managed to say, "Oh God, Nik's dating another nutter."
Sasha just smiled, "Let me prove it to you," Sasha urged and lifted her right hand in the air and golden sparks left her fingertips and rain down on them and it showed images of Rebekah's past one by one. An image of Rebekah's childhood that shifted into her rebirth as a vampire to her early vampire years to her ex-lovers and so on all the way up to the twenties, "What do you think? I've been trying to come up with more creative ways to explain after I realized I'd have to do this a few times."
"How do you-you know my entire life?!" Rebekah exclaimed looking alarmed, "Oh god, did you-"
"I didn't tell Klaus anything about you summoning Mikael to New Orleans." Sasha assured her, "As for how do I know all this well I'm the Vessel of your family's Guardian. Which means that deity that you had a brief encounter with in the 17th century decided to masquerade as my imaginary friend when I was a child and told me stories of your family so that when he deemed he was the right time he could take me from my home and have me better all your lives. And I knew that me telling Klaus what you did would do no good so I didn't."
Rebekah scoffed loudly and glared at Sasha at said, "I'm supposed to trust you? Guardians?! Like they'd ever bother to get involved with my family. This is a trap isn't it?! Nik knows what I did and he's going to jump out and punish me-"
"Rebekah just look." Sasha urges as she takes out of phone and texts Klaus. Found Rebekah, she's fine. We'll check on the others soon.
Klaus responds promptly. Good try to find out who undaggered her and make sure to tell the hybrids to treat her with respect. And keep her away from Marcel.
Sasha shows Rebekah his response which makes her frown in annoyance and mild confusion as she takes the phone from Sasha and quickly figures out how to work it and responds for Sasha. Nik you're a bloody narcissistic controlling prat!
The phone starts ringing shortly after that text was sent which startles Rebekah at first and she shoots Sasha a questioning look.
"If you want to speak to him hit the green button if not hit the red." Sasha explains simply.
Rebekah hits the green and hold the phone up to her ear and rants, "90 years of my life you've stolen Nik! I wake up and find out you've broken your curse, you have my old boyfriend doing your bidden and he's dating the newest bloody doppelganger! How the hell is she alive?! And speaking of people being alive when they should be dead. Marcel is alive! Did you know this the entire time?! Did you make me abandon him?! And who this hell is this nutter claiming to be involved with the Guardians!?"
Sasha couldn't hear Klaus's response but it makes Rebekah frown deeply and as she asks, "You trust this girl?"
Sasha actually wants to know the answer to that question but again she cannot hear Klaus's response but it makes Rebekah scoff, "You're being hoodwinked brother."
"I'm not hoodwinking him!" Sasha protests in offense and passionately says, "I am helping him and I want to help you too, Rebekah! I know you. I know why you don't want to believe me. You think I'm going to disappoint you like everyone else in your life has. But I will listen to your problems. I will respect you feelings. I will not control you. I will ask you what you want to do. I already have once and you didn't answer me. But you can now."
Rebekah gazes at Sasha with wide eyes that are on the verge of tears but she still holds the phone to her ear meaning Klaus heard that entire speech as well. Sasha can faintly hear Klaus say something to her.
Rebekah just hangs up on him without saying anything in response and just starts shaking her head in denial while saying, "You're just trying to suck up to me, you don't really mean it."
"But I really do." Sasha responds with raw honesty.
A tear falls down Rebekah's cheek but she wipes them away and asks, "We can do anything I want?"
Sasha nods with a bright smile.
"Can I do you?" Rebekah asks with a small smile on her face.
"...I'm sorry?" Sasha responds slowly sure that she must have misheard her.
Rebekah smiles wider and tilts her head to the side and says, "I want to spend time with you."
"Oh," Sasha breaths out with a smile of relief and asks, "Sure, doing what?"
"Sex?" Rebekah suggests with teasing smirk.
"W-what?" Sasha sputters as her face reddens, "Are you fucking with me?"
"Not right now but I'm trying." Rebekah answered smoothly.
Sasha just stared at her as her mind refused to comprehend what Rebekah just said to her. Was this actually happening right now? Rebekah was propositioning her?!
"This took a turn I was not expecting." Sasha mumbled.
Rebekah took a step back while looking pleased and said, "So you are not omniscient that's good to know."
"Rain check!" Sasha blurted without thinking, "Can we take a rain check on that offer."
Rebekah raised an eyebrow at that response but she just said, "Alright, let's just go get utterly smashed then."
"Yes that," Sasha nodded quickly as she winces at herself, "Do that we should."
"Not Rousseau's though." Rebekah commented with a scrunched up nose.
"We could raid Klaus's liquor collection?" Sasha offered.
"I like the way you think, lovely." Rebekah smiled.
Sasha cautiously smiled back at her.
