"Finn, Finn, Finn, Finn!" My eldest brother turned around, opening his arms as he knew what was coming. I jumped into his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck as he held me.

"Rebekah," he greeted softly, pressing a kiss to the top of my head. I had a nightmare from my past life about my family dying. Finn was my last sibling I had seen die before I had woken up. I don't know what came over me, but I needed to know that he's safe. This wouldn't happen for over a thousand years, but it scared me awake. "Are you okay?"

"Bad dream." I held on to him tighter, shaking my head as much as I could from where it was resting on his shoulder. He sighed, holding onto me a bit tighter.

"And you want me to distract you?" He asked, just like he did every other time. I nodded. "I went hunting with father, it was fine until we returned and Ayana's husband began to taunt him. Mother had to calm him down. I taught Kol a simple spell, but you already know that." I hummed. Kol had told me about it immediately after, just like he always did. "I spent some time with Erik's daughter."

"Sage?" Sage was an absolute sweetheart. She even made a flower chain with me. I didn't think we would meet her for another hundred years at least, but she's here and has a huge crush on my brother.

"Yes, Sage." Finn chuckled. He talked for a while, telling me about his day. Sage had admitted to liking him, he told her that he liked her as well. I'm not going to lie, Sage and Finn were super cute together. Sage likes all and doesn't judge our family for practicing witchcraft like most people in the village did. It was refreshing. Finn deserved her. "Are you feeling better?"

I pulled away slightly to look up at him. I stared at him for a few moments before nodding, it did make me feel better. "Thank you, Finn."

"Always, Rebekah."

The rest of the day went on as normal. Sometimes I would get flashes of the nightmare from the night before and latch on to the sibling closest to me, but they'd didn't mind. After nightmares, I was clingy. We all knew this, but never spoke of it.

Finn will tell me about his day. Kol would distract me with magic, something we were both fascinated with. Elijah tells me stories that Finn told him. Nik grabs the carving he gave me the night of the storm and talks to me. I don't know how they do it, but each of them manage to calm me down.

Mother has given birth to Henrik. My siblings and I had been at Ayana's the whole day, Mother had told us she was going to be in a lot of pain and didn't want us in the home. Ayana, who also knew of my little brother's fate, tried to distract me. It didn't work. I was reborn into a life that I had watched on television, I had grown to love my family, and now I'll have to watch my little brother die.

Father has started to snap at Nik more. It's only time until he will start hurting him physically. Mother can often calm him down, sometimes i'll go on a walk with him, but that will only last so long.

Nik and Elijah are both almost teenagers now, Kol is eight, and Finn is at least sixteen. I'm not quite sure how old Finn is though. Our ages are counted by how many seasons we've been alive, it gets confusing sometimes.

Ayana, with the help of her ancestors, found a new way for me to store my knowledge, as a backup I guess. She's already helped me write most of it down, but she suggested something similar to a pensieve from Harry Potter. And so we pulled the memories of me watching the shows and we placed it in a box that was spelled so that only I can unlock it.

It worked.

Our family is definitely different to most in our village, not that anyone truly knew this. They know that none of the children are getting married anytime soon, they knew that mother was a witch and Finn also practiced witchcraft. They knew Elijah was a charming young wan who would someday become a great warrior, just like his father.

They didn't know that Kol was also a witch, they didn't know that Nik was an untriggered werewolf, much like the beasts we hide from every full moon. They didn't know that I wasn't really Rebekah, that I had lived a life before this. They also didn't know that Henrik, the youngest in our family that hadn't been born that long ago, was fated to die before he was an adult.

Except Ayana Bennett, of course. She knew everything. Ayana was closer with my family now that she knew the truth about me, some of it. She became a therapist of sorts. When one of us had a problem we didn't want to bother our parents over, we went to her. I normally went to her about things concerning the future.

She welcomed all of us with open arms, she was like a second mother to all of us. Her daughter had gotten married long ago, I think she liked taking care of all of us.

She told me that when she passed on, if I needed her help, I could call on her from the other side. The same went for the rest of my family.

Ayana's husband was not so happy with us visiting so often. Most times, he would leave the hut cursing, probably going to hunt to take out his anger.

Mother had been concerned at first when I started spending more time with Ayana, but did not dwell on it.

Tatia Petrova has yet to show up. I don't think she'll be here for another few years at least, but I thought the same with Sage. I was not excited for her arrival. I didn't want my brother to be hurt, especially by a doppelgänger.

My family was happy but I knew it would all come crashing down in the next few years.
