Chapter 9

"Oh where is my story? Who am I supposed to be with," Rebekah flipped through the book.

"You'll be surprised." Sheila said as she looked at Caroline. "I am sorry but I didn't see your story in there."

Caroline shrugged.

"If I was meant to be in there, it will be in there." She said. "Maybe my story hasn't happened yet."

"Ooo a brand new story. I want to read them all!" Rebekah enthused. "I wonder how we got like this in the first place. Why aren't my brothers still with Bonnie and Elena? Why aren't we still like the characters in the book?"

"That can only be answered by who cast the spell as well as why." Sheila told her. The book gave little to no clues as to how it happened. It was frustrating to her that they were like this without anyone knowing anything.

"Maybe your mother or Finn might know something? Could you ask them for me Rebekah?"

The blonde nodded while Caroline was talking with Jeremy.

Rebekah nodded, "we just have to make sure the book stays safe."

"It will." Caroline looked at her. "Tonight, I'll spend the night with Elena while you ask your family if there's a spell that can erase peoples memories or something."

VVVVVV

Rebekah nodded. Later that evening she found her mother alone.

"Mother, is there a spell that can erase people's memories - a lot of people's memories?" She asked.

"There are some my precious daughter." Esther told her softly. "What is this about?" Did her darling Rebekah discover her deceit?

Rebekah plastered on a fake smile.

"I was curious because when we turned, I was still beginning to learn about magic and you hadn't gotten to the mind section of magics yet. I was fulfilling my natural curiosity." The girl lied easily.

"Well there certainly are some but it requires a very powerful witch. I am sorry that you were not able to learn. You and your brother Kol would have been very good."

Again, her fake smile was still plastered on her face.

"Do you know why anyone would want to do such a thing?" Esther's face was neutral as she spoke.

"Not many powerful witches feel that the world isn't up to their standards so they can create a realm where they control anything and allow a select few to remember the old one while the new one plays out."

"Can anything break it?" Esther nodded.

"One can be a true love-but the thing is, true love doesn't have to be between a man and a woman. It can be the love of a parent to their child or something along those lines. The second one will be to find the witch and kill her with her own magic."

"Wow...thanks for the lesson Mother," Rebekah said before she left. She couldn't wait to tell Caroline and Sheila what she had learned.
