Rebekah's POV

Upon returning to the mansion I instantly tensed at the tension almost spilling out the windows.

I followed the growls distinctly coming from Kol and found him in one of the bare storage rooms which had been decorated up into a romantic theme. I found it beautiful. I know that Kol was planning something special but considering the now smashed furniture I assume it hadn't gone how he planned.

"What happened?!" I shrieked as my brother froze from ripping the red sheer curtains to ribbons.

"I told her I was leaving!" He yelled hurt and anger in his eyes.

"What?" I asked dangerously. He better not have hurt my best friend, she always had bad self esteem and if he upset her she would run. He was her first relationship and she knew he was impulsive but she would have taken anything to heart without any doubt.

"I had to convince Mia I was leaving her tonight and she didn't ask me to stay or come with me she just ran away!" He yelled kicking a fallen chair into a wall turning it to kindling.

"Why?!" I screamed my face tightening as my teeth sharpened and eyes turned black in anger.

"I ...I didn't want to but! URG! I love her but I Could smell mother in here, she was listening. I know she was. I ...I was going to ask her to leave with me tonight but knowing mother was listening I just had this ...impulse she needed to be honest in her emotions but if mother is doing things tonight then I know that she will try causing a distraction and that will include Mia! No doubt. But if I made mother think Mia didn't matter and that she had left then ... then Mia would be safe." He murmured brokenly and thought I was pissed. I could see the hurt and self hatred in his eyes.

"Kol, she would have been safe here. Klaus's hybrids would have kept her safe, the 'scooby crew' are on our side thanks to Mia and Klaus's deal with them." I hissed. If Mia ran... she would be able to stay hidden until she wanted to be found thanks to Klaus giving her numerous tips and even a safe house only he knew the address to and if Kol hurt her that much then Klaus would not ever consider giving him.

"No! no she wouldn't Rebekah, she is the one thing that makes me calm. That keeps me relaxed and makes me think straight and I know I couldn't focus on anything tonight if there was even a slight possibility that she would be in danger. I found these crystals." He said motioning to three large gray stones now in a small heap on the floor.

From what I remember from being human and when we began practicing magic they were used for many things, such as protection. But it meant that the one who placed them would hear everything in the room, feel the atmosphere and know everything inside. The moment Kol moved them they would have stopped working and she would assume they left the room.

"It...you, you could have moved them before Mia came in or sat down!" I snapped my mind, trembling. To keep the energys locked like these crystals in this room would have taken a lot of energy. Mother really wanted to know what was going on and since that talk with Mia, she has been almost wary of her and Mia refused to tell us what was said between them.

"I Didn't know then!" He roared making my form quiver the slightest bit. "I only recognised the presence after we had sat down and Mia was already concerned I didn't want her knowing mother was suspicious of us. She would have only worried more or try helping endangering herself. I couldn't let her get hurt because of me...she deserves a normal life and if that means she hates me then so be it..." He sobbed collapsing.

"Kol...she never wanted a normal life. I understand what you mean, but I don't agree with your way of handling it. You don't deserve her, honestly she is kind, sweet, funny, unique but loves you with everything she is. But at the same time she can't get anything better than you. You are protective, fun, impulsive - yes but when it comes to her nobody could keep her safer then you, and you have sent her away into a dangerous world, emotionally upset and of balance where anyone - not including mother and the people we know, could get her because mother and the Salvatores are not the only dangers in this world. She is out in this world which she still doesn't fully understand, alone and scared thinking the one person who she gave her whole heart to, now hates her and used her like a toy." I said, my voice hard and cold.

He looked at me in anger but I saw the cogs in his head twisting into visioning his 'mate' in danger and finally seeing the truth in my words.

She deserves better than him honestly, and he doesn't deserve her. But they are perfect for one another and I can't picture either of them being able to last or love with anyone else.

"Rebekah! Kol!" We heard Klaus snap from the lounge, looking at one another we sped to him to see both F

inn and Elijah pacing the room behind him all of them in some form of distress.

"Who was the last in the cellar?" He hissed as his eyes kept changing from gold to red and back again.

We both shrugged, I was in there the other day and it was meant to be Kol checking on Gabe this morning but he went out saying that Finn offered to do it.

Upon saying that Finn said he did that and he was passed out from blood loss before going to see Sage.

"Gabe is gone, there are no scents downstairs and none other than ours around the house." He hissed in pure anger before sniffing deeply.

"Where's Mia?" He asked in a frighteningly calm voice.

Please review, I would love to know what you think.
