A/N: I don't own TVD or TO.
Esther's head reeled back by the sheer force of the slap. She looked shocked, which was most likely since she was seeing her firstborn child after a thousand years and that said child had just slapped her.
Everyone's reactions varied. Finn and Elijah looked shocked, like they were for the first time, seeing a thing that completely amazed and intrigued them. Rebekah had gasped before she giggled with Katherine and Sage who chuckled.
Rebekah smirked, "#badasswitch!" She exclaimed in pure joy.
Klaus and Kol unconsciously stepped back, vowing to never piss off Freya. She might not be an Original, but she was powerful in her own right. Damon whistled as his eyebrows went up.
"Ouch!" Stefan muttered as he grimaced but shrugged.
The entire Scooby Gang winced and their thoughts of Freya being the weakest one of the Mikaelsons disappeared as quickly as they had appeared.
Esther gasped as she saw Freya. She regained her composure. It couldn't be possible, could it? Freya was supposed to be with Dahlia, not with her younger siblings! How had she escaped?!
"Freya?" She questioned tentatively, "Oh my sw-"
Freya cut her off, "You don't need to pretend anymore, Esther." She said icily.
Esther looked confused, "What do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean! You abandoned me! You could've saved me! But no. You stood there and watched as Dahlia took me away." She breathed heavily.
Damon winced before he muttered, "Perhaps we should go."
Rebekah muttered back, "Take the Bennett witches." At which, Elena nodded.
They left, most probably to their houses, since it was well after midnight.
"My sweet child, I wasn't strong enough!"
Freya chuckled bitterly, "Don't 'sweet child' me. If you wanted to, you could have saved me, even if you had to die." She spat out.
"Anyways. You're only here because we need you so we can kill Dahlia." She looked at Finn, "I'm going to bed."
Finn sighed as she left, "Well. Let's sleep. We'll discuss everything in the morning."
And with that, everyone left, leaving Esther all alone to ponder where had she gone wrong.
Sage hummed a familiar song as she opened the fridge to get a blood bag. It was the same song she had first heard when she was born.
She rolled her eyes as she heard Kol and Klaus arguing about what to do after Esther was killed. Kol apparently wanted to dance on her grave, but Klaus wanted to send her body away to hungry lions so they would tear her apart.
As they arrived in the kitchen, she interrupted them, "Boys, we need her body so it can be buried by Sophie." She then added, "Unless of course, you won't kill Agnes."
Kol huffed, "I say we let Agnes live and after everything, we kill her." Said the mischievous Mikaelson.
Klaus nodded as he silently drank a blood bag, a contemplative look on his face. Sage raised an eyebrow at him but he ignored her.
She rolled her eyes, "Ru-" But she was cut off by a spine-chilling scream.
The three looked at each other at the same time, "Rebekah!"
Rebekah woke up with a smile on her face. She couldn't believe she was back in the past, with Nik, Elijah, Hayley.
She quickly freshened up before she went down to the kitchen. Everybody was up before her.
Finn smiled, "Good morning Bekah."
"Morning everyone!" She answered.
She hummed happily as she took a chocolate bar from the fridge. She wasn't really in the mood to drink blood. After sitting down, she noticed something weird.
Her siblings and Sage weren't eating anything or even drinking blood.
She chewed her lip nervously, "Is there something wrong?" Asked Rebekah.
They all turned towards her and she gasped, tears in her eyes. Nik and Elijah were gray and were almost… crumbling. Sage was grey too. Meanwhile, Kol was half-torn, bites and claw marks covering his entire body. Finn had a bite mark on his arm, just like the one Lucien had given him. Finally, Freya was a mess of flesh and blood, her neck twisted, but somehow, she was still alive.
Klaus hissed, "You killed us. You could've saved us. But you let us die. And now, it is time for us to pay back the favor." And with that, he started coming closer to her.
As her family gathered around her, she heard whispers of her being, pathetic, disgusting. She whimpered as Kol came forward. She tried to find a way out, but she was stuck as she walked back until she reached the edge of the railing.
Kol smirked before he pushed her. As she came nearer and nearer to the ground, she screamed.
Rebekah woke up and didn't stop screaming as tears descended her cheeks. She didn't notice that she was back in her bed.
Elijah and Finn, who had been just outside, sprang into the room after they heard their sister's screams. Finn, who had once or twice comforted Rebekah, sat beside her and hugged and calmed her as Elijah asked her what happened.
Rebekah murmured, "It's all my fault. It's my fault that all of you died. My fault." She dryly sobbed.
Freya, Nik, Sage, and Kol came running through the room. They all relaxed after seeing that Rebekah was alright.
Freya sat down and took over calming Rebekah. After 10 minutes, Rebekah fell asleep on Freya's shoulder, surrounded by her family.
Kol asked the question on everyone's mind, "What happened?"
Finn's face turned somber, "I…" He struggled a bit, "don't know."
Rebekah smiled at Stefan a bit shakily, her nightmare had had a big impact on her. He was here because they had decided that to get Stefan's trust, they were going to bring his best friend, Lexi Branson back from the dead.
"Well, what is it going to take to bring her back?"
Freya answered, "We need to do a séance. And we also need something very close to her, like a hairbrush."
Damon hummed, "Will clothing work?" He asked.
Stefan raised an eyebrow, "I don't have her clothes." He stated like Damon was stupid and grabbed a water bottle.
"I do."
"How?" The ripper asked.
Damon smirked a bit, "I slept with her in the '70s."
Stefan spit his water out, "You what?!"
"You know, when two people like each other-" He was cut off by Stefan.
The blonde exclaimed, "I know what it means!"
Freya rolled her eyes and stopped the upcoming argument, "Yeah, the clothes will work." She answered.
"Great. I'll be back in fifteen minutes." And with that, he vamp speeded away.
"Well, I guess we'll have to wait."
After Damon came back, Freya took the clothes and kicked everyone (but Kol) out. Stefan was talking with Elijah in the corner, telling him about his past, a way for them to bond. Klaus and Damon were drinking in comfortable silence. Finn was with Sage. Last, but not least, Rebekah and Katherine were talking about a certain werewolf that Rebekah had told the Petrova about.
Katherine furrowed her eyebrows, "Where is Esther?" She asked.
"She's in the cellar, albeit forced." Replied Rebekah.
"Oh… explains." The brunette muttered.
Just after that, they heard Freya calling them in. She and Kol were on the opposite ends of a table. And on the table was the piece of cloth that Damon had given.
"Alright, hold hands, clear your minds. Stefan, Damon, imagine Alexia in front of you. And importantly, never break the circle and do not interrupt me."
Everyone nodded and Freya started chanting. A minute had passed and suddenly, everyone heard a whoosh of air.
Rebekah opened her eyes and lo behold.
"Hey, Stef."
Lexi Branson was back as a ghost.
