It had been nearly ninety years since i have been daggered by Niklaus and that alone hurt each time he would dagger me; it was as if i had no choice or voice of my own around my brother. Ever since we had become vampires, my brother had changed in more ways than one. I had been stuck lying in a coffin for as long since the twenties but before i knew it, i had just been undaggered. Waking up to a warehouse building wasnt exactly what i had in mind to my revival. I watched as a compelled man entered the room moments after i sat up in my coffin and cut his wrist, the smell of the crimson iron flooding my nostrils and before i knew it, i blurred over and drained the man dry, letting my thirst become quenched. I wiped the blood from my chin and then look around the empty warehouse.
"That bastard." i muttered to myself before mere moments later i had heard footsteps. I wanted revenge for what Nik had done to me, i hated that he felt like he could just dagger me whenever he felt like, even after everything we had been through. I had thought his feelings for me were true and obvious but to be treated no better than the rest of the siblings he had lying in coffins was just hurtful. I grabbed the dagger that had been left in my coffin and blurred off to hide in the warehouse when i saw Nik and...Stefan? That was odd.
"Rebekah...little sister...its your big brother..." Niklaus spoke as his eyes wondered the room of the warehouse and Stefan stayed close behind.
It only took me seconds to blur over to Nik and drive the dagger into his heart as hard and swift as i could before stepping back. Of course i knew it wouldnt work on him since the daggers never worked on him due to him being born a werewolf. Watching him remove it with ease, i breathed.
"Oh dont pout, Rebekah. You knew it wouldnt work on me." Niklaus stated vaguely as he pulled out the dagger and set it back into my coffin.
"I did, but i hoped it would hurt more." I gritted my teeth before flashing a mocking smile on my lips. It only took me moments after to see Stefan in my view. "Stefan." I stated, i held high hopes that he would remember me, but from what i could grasp he seemed to clueless. I furrowed my eyebrows, hoping this wasnt true as i watched Nik walk over to him and from what i heard, he made him remember.
"Rebekah?" Stefan questioned as he now remembered everything from the twenties.
My heart sank when he spoke my name. "Yes. you remember?" i asked as i walked over to him. Even though my deepest love was for my own brother, Niklaus, i was still hurt by his actions, especially ever since we were changed into vampires. When i approached Stefan, i pulled on a sweet smile but from the corner of my eye, i could see the meek jealousy upon my brother's expression.
Niklaus then marched over swiftly to break up the tension and pulled me aside, stepping semi-in front of Stefan, facing me. "I think you need to get new clothing, little sister." Nik demanded, his blue-green eyes piercing through my blue ones.
Swallowing from the small amount of intimidation, i parted my lips to speak. "Mine as well." I replied in a snotty attitude with a light eye roll before walking off and out of the Chicago warehouse, of course they followed close by.
We then headed further into the city of Chicago where the public were nonstop busy, traffic and also plenty of places to shop; the city had indeed grown and changed since the twenties when i had been here last. I pulled a few dresses into the dressing room, along with a compelled worker at the shop to help give appropriate suggestions on what to wear. Pulling on a charcoal dress, i walked out to model it. "Does every woman in the twenty first century dress like prostitutes?" i asked astonished in the new clothing styles. "You know, I got dirty looks for wearing trousers." i added as i looked at myself in the mirror with a scrunched up nose.
Niklaus only formed a snickering smile onto his lips as he sipped on his champagne. "Apparently. You wore trousers so women today could wear nothing, Rebekah." he replied sarcastically.
I gave my eyes a roll before exiting the room and going back into the locker room, fetching the next piece of clothing that i may like.
"I liked it." Stefan pointed out with a shrug, then pulled a compelled female to him and drank from her neck until she was on the brink of death then shoved her aside.
"Stop with the compliments, Stefan. She doesnt need to be flattered as much as she already is spoiled." Niklaus formed a wide mocking smile before refilling his glass of champagne.
I rolled my eyes at the comments, then stormed out of the dressing room after putting on a pair of jean shorts and a white sleeveless blouse, placing my hands on my hips. "I heard that you know." i sassed as i eyed both of them.
"Are you about ready?" Niklaus asked in an irritated, sarcastic tone of voice, Stefan giving a smug on his bloodied lips.
I crossed my arms before answering. "Apparently." i simply stated before gazing my blue eyes over at Stefan. I leaned over to Stefan and wiped the blood from his chin, tasting the blood that was now on my index finger. "Clean up once in a while, will you?" i asked before leaning back up and pulling a smirk onto my lips.
We all then headed out of the shop and apparently to Gloria's bar for something Nik needed. Once Gloria stated she needed my necklace in which my mother had given to me thousand years ago, i knew where to find it since it wasnt on my neck in the meantime. It had to be in my coffin.
"Tell me you have it, Rebekah." Niklaus stated in a demanding, paranoid tone. It was obvious he was panicking.
"I do, i have to. It has to be in the coffin, i wore it the night you daggered me...it has to." i rushed. Once we arrived to the warehouse, i searched thoroughly through my coffin but it wasnt there. "Its gone. I had it...i swear..." i stated before heaving my coffin to the ground. " I HAD IT! Someone stole it." i exclaimed.
"Well, thats just great, Rebekah." Niklaus stated bitterly, he was furious and it had seemed as if it was my fault. I hated this.
Once Nik had left the room, i walked up to Stefan and pulled him into a soft kiss but his kiss in return didnt seem real enough. No hunger, no lust, just bare. "you still love Elena more dont you? You care for her..." i asked, of course hearing about Elena along the way from Nik.
"Of course not. She's long gone, in the past." Stefan lied.
I had sensed Stefan was lying, just by his tone and my intuition. I used to be able to trust him in the twenties but now i couldnt. Just as Nik entered the room, i turned to my brother. "Stefan cant be trusted, i dont think he's with us. Something is off about him. Nik." i stated.
"No, no. Im with you both." Stefan pointed out. Nik didnt look too thrilled before he knocked out Stefan and placed him into the large moving truck.
We then headed back to Mystic Falls, Niklaus wanting to find out what Stefan was hiding and how to make his hybrids and that was the only thing that seemed to matter to him now. Apparently he had broken the curse and refused to tell me all the details and i couldnt exactly get alone time to speak with Stefan since Nik had kept an eye on the both of us - jealousy being a weak point in my brother. I would be lying if i said it didnt hurt that it seemed like i didnt matter to him anymore. I still havent told him the news about the baby and i honestly wasnt sure when to tell him or rather to at all. After Nik had found Elena, there was the plan to get the Bennett witch to fix the problem of the hybrid making.
Sitting in the hallway of the high school as Nik dealt with Elena, i flipped through Elena's phone to spot annoying pictures of her with Stefan before spotting my necklace. I immediately stormed into the gym to show Nik, then he set the clock after Elena said Katherine had stolen the necklace. Eventually, Nik found out how to make his hybrids as well as turning off Stefan's humanity. We had taken Elena to the hospital to drain her of her blood and i waited on the hood of a car.
"Why do you care more for that doppelganger witch more than me, Nik?" i asked bluntly. I had to, i was hurt that Nik paid more attention to this blood bag for hybrids than to me.
"Having a successful hybrid means i can make more, Rebekah. I have better priorities, love." Niklaus stated, not really caring.
I furrowed my brows at his words, holding back any tears before i slid off the car hood. "You think i care about your stupid hybrids?" i snapped before blurring off - i needed to clear my head and have a few moments to myself. As i did so, i walked through the woods, quietly gazing at the stars in the night sky and remembering the exact places that were there like the village and what not before now in this current century. I figured it had been long enough before i decided to head back to the parking lot of the hospital where Nik was to find it vacant.
"Nik?" i asked as i searched the parking lot swiftly, even the hospital but to no avail. I stepped back outside, frowning as i pulled out my phone and dialed his number, only to get voicemail. "You left me? Where the bloody hell are you, Nik?" i left as the message, my tone in disbelief before i closed the phone. "He left without me... bastard." i muttered to myself before leaving the hospital, of course knowing Elena had gone as well. Little did i know about the plans going on with Mikael and that Damon had told Nik about rising Mikael.
The next morning i had gone shopping for more clothing before i landed at the Salvatore door step, inviting myself in the moment Damon opened the door as i carried my bags of clothing and accessories. "So which room is mine?" i forwardly asked.
Stefan and Damon looked at each other before Stefan went to speak, with bitten human females compelled to play Twister and being fed on. "No, you cant stay here." Stefan pointed out.
"Nik left me...he just utterly left me and i need somewhere to stay." i pointed out in disbelief.
"I take it this is Klaus's sister?" Damon asked cluelessly.
I turned my head to peer over my shoulder. "Rebekah, pleasure." i stated arrogantly before looking back over to Stefan.
Stefan formed a smug on his lips. "Am i supposed to care?" he pointed out.
I rolled my eyes. "Are you seriously doing tis right now? Rude." i scoffed before picking my bags back up. "Ill find it myself then." i added before leaving the room and heading upstairs.
"I guess shes staying here then." Stefan shrugged to Damon.
~Flash forward~
I had enrolled at Mystic High and attempted to fit in once i have heard from Nik, knowing about Mikael being risen was something i wasnt expecting. I figured once the mother Bennett witch had put him down, it would be for good as i last knew. But in the end, Klaus had killed Mikael and given Stefan his freedom. That was up until mother had decided to make an appearance after her other attempt at killing us all in which failed but only to have created an enhanced hunter out of Alaric Saltzman. The moment i saw him stake Nik with the white oak stake, swore a part of me just died. Even after running off Matt's car from the bridge to kill Elena to kill Alaric, i still was in mourning.
"I still cant believe he is gone, Elijah." i sobbed into his arms once again for the hundredth time it seemed, not knowing that Nik was roaming in the body of Tyler Lockwood for the mean time.
Elijah comforted me as much as he could. "Im distraught myself, Rebekah. I know Niklaus had done terrible things but he is still family. " he pointed out.
I then pulled back and wiped my eyes. Should i even tell Elijah about me and Nik? How much i truly loved Nik more than a brother? The mere thought of doing so struck fear inside of me, because i knew how family oriented Elijah was and he believed in morals. Would he even accept it just for my sake? Perhaps it wasnt the best time to bring it up, mourning over Nik. But i knew it would come out sooner or later but at this moment, i greatly preferred later.
