"Excuse me?"
Rebekah may have laughed at her brother's expression had they been in a different situation, but this was serious. Her family just found out Klaus could have children, and their reactions were calmer than she had imagined they would be.
"Finn is right, Nik." Rebekah told him.
"Vampires can't have kids, Rebekah, we're dead." Klaus insisted.
"You're right, vampires can't have kids." Rebekah agreed. "But werewolves can. You were born a werewolf, magic turned you into a vampire, a hybrid. You're half werewolf."
Rebekah shoved Kol off the couch, forcing him to trade spots with Klaus. Klaus huffed once he was beside Rebekah, resting his head on her shoulder. Rebekah wrapped her arm around him, resting her head on top of his.
"How is that possible?" Elijah asked.
"We figured it was because his wolf wasn't suppressed anymore. Niklaus is different to other hybrids in his line. They all started as werewolves and transitioned into vampires. He was turned by magic, not by another vampire. He unlocked his dormant werewolf, slept with another werewolf, bun in her oven." Freya told him. "Basically a magic loophole."
"Very comforting." Klaus grumbled.
The siblings sat in silence for a long time until Kol spoke up. "So, are you going to keep telling us the story or?"
He yelped when Finn, who had to reach around Elijah to even get to him, hit the back of his head. "Finn! What the hell?!"
"You deserved it." Finn deadpanned.
"Thank you, Finn, you're now my favourite brother." Rebekah's grin widened as Kol, Elijah and Klaus all started at her. "Kidding."
"I apologize, Finn, my eldest, most lovable brother." Kol said dramatically, moving further from Elijah when he saw Finn's arm twitch.
"Are you okay for me to continue, Nik?" Rebekah asked quietly. He nodded.
"Alright, so, I didn't get there when Nik and Elijah did. I wasn't going to go at all, actually, but Elijah insisted. But when I showed up, Elijah wasn't there anymore and I couldn't get in contact with him. Anyone want to guess what happened to our brother?"
"Klaus daggered him." Sage said from where she sat.
"Sage is right so don't bother getting pissed about it, Nik." Rebekah said. "I met the wolf Nik got pregnant, who I won't name. She told me that Klaus told her Elijah 'bailed', so I went to talk to Nik. On top of all that, we discovered that Marcellus was still alive and he's ruling the quarter."
"Marcellus is still alive?" Elijah and Klaus asked in unison.
"He is," Freya said. "He's also not too nice, he planned on taking us down multiple times. Succeed with some of them."
Freya turned to Rebekah, her eyes narrowed. "And our darling little sister married the man, after he caused us all to be away from Nikluas's daughter for years."
"There was no one better!"
"Damon Salvatore would have been better and you know how I feel about him!" Freya exclaimed. "He also left you after a year of you taking the cure!"
"Uh," Kol looked between his sisters. "Can we go back? I didn't even know he was dead, I tend not to follow you lot around when I'm on the other side."
"Do you wish to tell Elijah what happened, Bekah?" Rebekah stilled when Klaus asked. She shook her head. "Well, family, way back in 1919, Rebekah and Marcellus called Mikael to New Orleans. As we both now, Rebekah was blinded by her love for him, and when the great idea was brought up, she obliged."
"You didn't have to be that dramatic, Nik." Rebekah rolled her eyes. "We thought Marcel was killed by father. Elijah distracted him so that Nik and I could run, and as far as I know, that was the last time we saw him, until a few months ago for Nik." Rebekah paused
"Oh, yes, I suppose you don't know. Elijah was helping the doppelgänger try and kill Nik!"
Elijah sighed.
Rebekah and Freya spent the next few hours explaining everything from their old timeline, from small things to the upgraded original and Elijah being compelled, and there were some moments where siblings almost got their necks snapped. One of these times, of course, being when they told Kol and Finn had killed him. Another was when Klaus had been told he had been daggered, his child had been taken from him and that Elijah had been in love with his child's mother. Everyone agreed that it was weird. Kol, unable to resist, had to comment.
"They've shared doppelgängers before, what's wrong with one more woman?"
Finn was more than happy to hit Kol over the head again, for his little brothers, of course.
Freya and Rebekah shared a look, they didn't want to talk about what was next. They had only gotten to the part where their niece had her mother kidnapped to get Klaus back to town.
"That look doesn't mean anything good." Klaus commented.
"You're right, Nik. It doesn't." Rebekah agreed. "Nik took all of the Hallows magic in oder to save her. Elijah didn't want to live without Nik, so, after everyone said their goodbyes, Elijah stood by his side. He broke the white oak steak in half, they staked each other once we left and died together."
Rebekah tried not to cry. Really, she did. But talking about everyone in her family dying made her emotional. None of the family realized they had all grabbed onto each other as they sat in silence.
After an hour, the silence was broken by Sage. "I assume youtube have plans on how to deal with at least some of these people."
"Everyone but Silas." Freya answered. "None of the plans are guaranteed to work. By the time we had come up with a solution the threat was either dead or had succeeded with their plan."
Klaus got a notebook and handed it to Rebekah. "Make a list, prioritize who needs to be dealt with first."
Rebekah started the list.
1. Esther
2. Dahlia
3. Silas
4. The Hallow
5. Marcel
6. Doppelgänger and friends
7. DeMartel's and others
8. Ancestors and harvest
"Gemini coven." Freya reminded her. "Don't forget Kai!"
9. Gemini Coven (leader & twins)
10. Get Kai out of his prison world
11. Kieran O'Connell
12. Gilbert rings/Alaric
13. Greta
"Who's Kai? And why is he in a prison world?" Kol asked.
"A member of the Gemini coven, he killed a few of his siblings." Rebekah answered without looking up.
"You know, I'm glad we weren't in a coven where we had to merge with our twin. I would have won."
"I didn't practice magic very often, Kol." Rebekah narrowed her eyes at Kol. "Why do you sound so excited that you would have killed me?"
Klaus groaned. "I miss the two of you being daggered already."
hi, hi, hi. I haven't updated this in a while, but here's chapter eight! I've been writing this chapter since september because I didn't know where to go after Klaus found out about the whole hope thing. Also let's ignore that the gif has nothing to do with the chapter, I love it and I have no where else to put it.
I'm aware the mikaelsons are a lot closer in this than they are in canon, but that's literally the point. Also, Kol and Rebekah are twins and I regret nothing.
Finn gibbs slapping Kol? we love to see it.
Let me know what you thought of this chapter, all feedback is appreciated! Please do not comment 'update' it adds unnecessary stress and makes me feel pressured to post chapters.
As always, I'm open to suggestions on what you guys want to see. You can send ideas through pms or in the comments!
