"You slept with my brother!"

"I didn't sleep with your brother," I told Rebekah when she walked into my bathroom. "I just slept with him in my bed."

Rebekah shrugged and sat on my counter. "You were on top of him."

"It happens." I defended myself before frowning. "How do you even know that?"

"I looked into Nik's head, that's all I got before he pushed me out," Rebekah told me.

"Rebekah, in case you didn't notice, I'm in the bath."

"I noticed."

"Why are you still in here?"

"I got bored of listening to Nik and Elijah argue so I came to talk to you." Rebekah tilted her head before rolling her eyes, raising her voice slightly as she said, "I won't, Elijah, you're acting like a child. I'm sure she is already well aware." She turned back to me and muttered, "And they call me a brat."

I raised an eyebrow at her, not bothering to ask what she and Elijah were talking about. "Anything else you want?"

"Do you like him? Nik, that is."

I looked at her, she stared back. "Is he still listening?" she shook her head. "I guess, I haven't really spent much time with him until this week."

She got off my counter, leaving my bathroom. "Alright, but I expect a better answer soon."

"You and I are gonna have a talk tonight!" I called out, though it was unnecessary as she could have heard me just as well if I had whispered.

"You were right."

"I normally am." I flopped on the couch, rubbing my eyes. The three originals stared at me. "What am I right about now?"

"Pretty well everything leading up to recently, but I meant about Marcel wanting to plot against me with Rebekah," Klaus said, one of my notebooks in his hand. I couldn't tell which one, but it looked like the Legacies or Timeline notebook. I'm glad I never named Hope in them, I just called her 'baby Mikaelson'.

By the way Elijah and Rebekah were looking at him, he hadn't told them anything yet, and I'm kind of glad he didn't. I think he saw my list and assumed that I wanted to do it. That wasn't a right now problem, I'll deal with that later.

I looked towards Rebekah. "I assume you're on your family's side?"

Rebekah scrunched her nose. "Of course. Marcel believes I'm working with him to take down Nik. We were waiting until you got here, but Elijah and I were watching Marcel and you'll never guess who he was with."

"He was with Tyler Lockwood." Rebekah and I said in unison, though she and Elijah looked mildly surprised. "I told you I know things."

"Anyway, I went back after Elijah and I came home for a bit and this is what happened." Rebekah closed her eyes, focusing on projecting her memories.

Marcel and Tyler were holding a meeting and Rebekah watched from a distance, her arms crossed over her chest.

"Alright, I'm here," Marcel announced. "Let's do this. I'll keep it simple. This kid is an old enemy of your favourite person Klaus. And he's got plenty to say about what that traitor son-of-a-bitch has been up to behind my back. Now, for those of you faint of heart, there's the door. Because those who stick around, you're signing up for battle."

When nobody left, Marcel nodded and gestured for Tyler to speak "You all know Klaus wasn't always the hybrid. When he broke the curse that kept his werewolf side dormant, somewhere in all that, certain parts were now able to trump his vampire side. Like the ability to pass on the werewolf gene. That's where the werewolf girl he's been hiding from you all comes in. She rode through my town, pretended to be my friend, and then ended up hooking up with him. Now, she's pregnant with his kid."

"What the hell is this?" Diego asked in disbelief.

"Just listen," Marcel said.

"When Klaus became the hybrid, he figured out a way to turn full-bred werewolves into creatures like him." Tyler raised his hand. "You're looking at one of them. On the plus side, we had all the perks of being vampires. We're stronger, faster. And, the toxins in our bites could still kill a vampire. But on the downside, we were loyal to him. Like, supernaturally loyal."

"Can one of you, or all of you, I don't really care, go deal with Tyler soon?" I asked, one of my arms wrapped around my stomach. "Preferably sooner than later."

The three of them instantly agreed.

"Right, and that's why you're here, spilling all his secrets?" Diego spoke up.

"That's the point, Diego," Marcel told him. "He figured out a way to break free of it."

"And I helped the rest of them too. Then, Klaus killed them for their betrayal." Tyler stopped when he noticed Rebekah coming closer.

"Don't mind me, just fascinated by this great story you're telling," Rebekah commented. "Hello, Tyler."

"Rebekah." He nodded. "Long time no see."

"Not long enough," Rebekah muttered. "What this disappointment of a hybrid was going to tell you was that my brother has a, what do you call it Lockwood, plan for an army of hybrid slaves. You'll all quickly figure out that vampires don't stand a chance. Tyler, I assume you were trying to get them into making sure the baby isn't born?"

"Yeah. You don't like it? Go and take your brother's side, but you know I'm right." Tyler told her.

"I believe you've mistaken the lady's intentions." Rebekah clenched her fist at Marcel's words.

Diego looked confused. "Alright. What's going on?"

"Exactly Tyler, the last thing he needs is to sire a superior species." Rebekah rolled her eyes. "Go on."

"Were they always this…"

"Idiotic?" I supplied.

"Idiotic." Klaus nodded before turning to Rebekah. He was surprisingly calm, I expected him to be pissed and killed a bunch of things because of what he read and what was happening with Marcel, but he seemed relatively fine. "And Marcel just believed you?"

"Marcel will believe anything I say, especially if it disagrees with whatever you say," Rebekah told him. "I'm pretty sure he's planning your 52 years in the garden as we speak."

"Why 52 years?" Elijah asked.

"A year for every year I was away from him in the 1800s, daggered." Rebekah rolled her eyes.

"She's not here to stop us. She's here to help us." Marcel continued.

"But first…" Rebekah flashed to Tyler, snapping his neck as hard as she could without decapitating him. "That is enough talk about harming that baby."

"Pathetic," Elijah muttered, leaning back.

"You're not wrong." I hummed in agreement, laying back on the couch. I turned to Klaus, he was already looking at me. "You know what happens."

"I do." Klaus agreed.

"Then do you think that this should play out?" I asked him. We ignored Rebekah and Elijah's questioning looks. "If he's not expecting it…"

Klaus didn't say anything for a few minutes before he said, "It could get him to back off, for a short while at least. We don't need long to prepare."

"What the hell are you two talking about?" Rebekah cut in, looking between us.

"You'll know soon, I promise," I told her. "There are a few things Klaus and I have to do, but you should know by the end of the week."

Rebekah huffed but nodded.

"Tomorrow, it will all change. I won't know what will happen, not for sure." I warned him. "Are you ready for that?"

"Anything to save my family," Klaus answered. Elijah looked proud from where he sat, but he didn't say anything. "Besides, If you really hated how it played out the first time, I doubt you would let it all happen again."

"Obviously." I glanced at Elijah, standing up. "You get the honour of telling him about Sabine."

Klaus looked up at me, his eyes wide as he stood in front of me.

"I'm having girl time with Rebekah, you get drama with your brother." I grinned up at him. "We'll be back in a few hours, then we make a plan. I need a break."

I grabbed Rebekah's arm, and she let me pull her up and drag her out of the room. "I wasn't aware we were having girl time."

"Surprise. " Rebekah narrowed her eyes but continued walking with me. We enter my room and she flopped onto the bed as I went to the bathroom, grabbing a bag.

"What are we doing?"

I sat across from Rebekah, setting the bag between us, pulling out four different types of face masks. "We're going to do face masks and talk."

"Face masks?"

I grinned. This was going to be fun.

"Your brothers are idiots sometimes." We had been talking about the Mikaelsons for a few minutes while Klaus and Elijah were arguing loudly.

"I am well aware." Rebekah nodded, scrolling through the many pictures we had taken. It was her first time doing a face mask and let me tell you, it was an experience. She wanted to put on all of them, but I made her chose one. It was fun putting them on though. We stood infant of the mirror as Rebekah watched me put mine on, then she put hers on. I'll also never forget watching Rebekah Mikaelson take off a peel-off mask for the first time, that was hilarious. "Did you basically say you had a crush on Nik this morning?"

"That doesn't make them any less idiots, Rebekah." I pursed my lips as I heard glass shatter downstairs. "And violent. They're very violent."

"We're original vampires, Hayley, what do you expect? Anyways, we were violent before that. We played very, how do I describe it, intense games as humans." Rebekah deadpanned, tossing the phone on the bed. "Anyway, what did you want to talk about?"

"Marcel Gerard."

Rebekah groaned, flopping back onto the pillow. "Do we have to?"

"Yes." I laid down next to her. "What's going on between you two?"

"He wants me to go behind my brother's backs to hurt- possibly even try and kill Nik. But somehow, you already know this." Rebekah was silent for a while, glancing over at me before staring at the ceiling. "He wants to kill Nik, Hayley. I already lost three brothers. I down know what I would do if I lost either of them."

"You're not going to lose them," I said quietly.

"How do you know that? You barely know us."

"Oh, Rebekah, you'd be surprised." She looked at me, her brows furrowed. "As long as I'm around, there won't be any Originals dying"
