I just want to thank everyone foe has reviewed/followed/favorite this story
so ive decided to add a twist to the story :)
This chapter is mostly Rebekah/Caroline bonding
She could feel the emotions running through her involuntary, she didn't know what she was feeling. Being near him did things to her made her feel the need to be different. She sat there looking at anything, anyone other than those beautiful green eyes. He looked so hopeless and broken it made her blood boil, she wanted to go and stake that wretched doppelganger. How could she pick Damon over Stefan? Although she should be thanking her this was an opportunity for them. Yes, she was going to make him see he didn't need the doppelganger to be happy. She would be there for him even if just as friends.
"So….." Stefan said awkwardly. That seemed to snap Rebekah out of her internal thoughts.
"I'm sorry Stefan" She blurted out, and immediately she regretted it.
"For what? You haven't done anything, if anything your being what we refer to as a 'friend'." When she heard him say that she knew that this was her chance to make it right to start fresh and learn from him.
"Yes that may be the truth, but I have done some horrible things that have ended in the predicament you find yourself in at the moment Stefan, and for that im truly sorry." Rebekah saw a unreadable emotion cross him but he quickly covered it with a genuine smile she couldn't help but return.
"We all make mistakes but the choices that we each make are our own. You had nothing to do with her feelings. Why are you being so nice Rebekah you always showed your distaste at our "Scooby Gang". Stefan eyed her. She wanted to see if their time in the 20's really was more than bloodlust and sex, she was going to lie and be careful about it there was only one person who could see through her and that was Nik.
"I know what it is like to loose a parent at least the first time my mother died I felt great grief. I've seen how Caroline and me have some similarities and why not and be there while you lot worry about the doppelganger, its something ive seen happen rather often in your "Scooby Gang" She wasn't lying completely but she wasn't saying the whole truth either.
"As much as I want to believe you don't get me wrong I do but I have a feeling your not telling me everything, your hiding something what is it. Is it some master plan to get close to us then tear us apart? What is your gain in all this? Stefan saw the hurt and knew he had said the right words to get the truth out of her. Yes, she had been honest he could see the grief and hurt but most of all the honesty but he also knew her very well she wasn't saying all the truth.
She smiled inwardly, yes it hurt but she also knew he said those things so she would feel the need to tell him the truth. She couldn't help but feel giddy inside. She immediately reprimanded herself. She took a deep breath and decided that if this was going to work she was going to honest.
" Your wrong but right at the same time, please let me just say what ive been wanted to express for some time and then you could ponder my words. I've done horrible things in my lifetime, and for once ive felt the need to belong, and I haven't had a clue how. I always get betrayed. I always end up getting hurt. That had been my life's story. I had given Elena a chance yet she betrayed me when she daggered me. We aren't so different any of us, we don't kill for fun my family is all I have I'm sure you feel the same way towards your group I've seen it the loyalty there, but its all for her everything that has happened has been in some way because of. The same is with us we protect those we care and love. What im saying is I want to have that friends a second family if you may, i know I have a lot to prove and show but I would really like it if we can start over again a clean slate." As she finished she could see how her little rant was settling in she stood up and gave him a small smile and walked away. She was leaving it up to him now she needed to talk to Caroline she needed someone to talk to they both did. She knew Stefan would be a while with his broodiness and what not.
Caroline was still in the living room with the letter in her hands she didn't know what to do. Why would Bonnie ask her this, why couldn't she ask Elena her emotions were shut off. She was so confused and once again she was reminded on how she was alone with no one to talk to now that her mother was gone. She put her head in her hands and started sobbing again.
"I miss you so much mom, I need you to tell me what to do, I cant do this alone mom. I didn't even say goodbye maybe if I had it would be less painful." Caroline said out loud.
What she didn't realize was that Rebekah was outside when she had started crying and she was conflicted on either staying or coming back later. She was about to leave when she heard her talk to her mom. An idea came to her. She just hoped that such thing could be possible to do. She was going to do her best to be a good friend and show her she was being truthful about wanting to be friends.
She got in her car and drove a couple blocks so Caroline couldn't hear her, picking up her phone she dialed the too familiar phone number soon after the first ring their was an answer.
"Hello Bekx, what do I owe the pleasure of this call."
"I need a favor, but you cannot inform my brothers of this."
"You know I would do anything if I can for you, your one of the few people who treats me with respect and I value that I can even go as far as say that we are friends, what can I do for you"
Rebekah was glad the witch felt that way about her. " Well, you see a somewhat friend of mine is suffering and im trying to make amends and I was wondering if you could summon the dead." Rebekah knew it was a lot to ask second to Bonnie, Lucy was one of the strongest Bennett witches out there.
"I haven't done it but ive heard it's a difficult spell depending on the bond of the one being summoned shared with the person." Lucy replied
"But you would be able to perform the spell, its her mother that recently was murdered." Rebekah was already driving back to Caroline's home.
"It's an easy spell, but it wouldn't matter the only way this spell could work properly lies in that bond, but that wouldn't matter because the bond between a mother daughter is unbreakable. I could perform it anytime you wish, you know where to find me." Lucy wondered who Rebekah was speaking of.
"Thank you so much Lucy I will forever be grateful to you, is there anything specific we need to bring, an item or something personal,"
"No, with their blood would be good enough, will I be expecting you today?"
"Yes, I will be on my way immediately, see you in a bit" With that she hung up and walked up and knocked.
Rebekah didn't even let Caroline speak she saw she was dressed decent enough " Is there anyone in your house"
"No im alone why ? She could hear Caroline's suspicion.
"Grab your cell phone and come with me please, there is something I would like to do for you" Rebekah spoke softly and honesty.
Caroline was a little taken back with the emotion she heard in the other blonde's voice.
"Ok" She didn't know why but she felt like she needed to go with her.
"Ill be waiting in the car, you might want to feed you look like you need it" After giving her a small smile walked towards her car.
Once in the road Caroline was quiet, so unusual and she didn't know why but it bothered Rebekah to see her so sad, she smiled because she doing something so selfless and it made her feel good.
"Where are we going, and why are you being so nice to me?" Caroline couldn't help it she didn't want to speak to her but she was curious by nature.
"Well I kind of heard you saying that if maybe you had of said your goodbyes to your mom that things would be somewhat easier, i wasn't spying I swear I was already on my way to see if you needed anything maybe even some company, I have a friend that's a witch and maybe she can help you with that." Rebekah could see her eyes softening and getting glossy reaching over she gave her hand a small squeeze." And I know what it is to loose your mother. I know you hate me – she got cut off by Caroline.
"I don't hate you Rebekah, I know you feel like your always coming second best to everyone and that you feel like you need to be this bitch and put up a tough wall when in reality all you want is people to show you that you matter enough to be put first . I know this because I feel that way most of the time." Caroline was surprised she opened up to her like that, but she also saw that Rebekah was lonely and wanted a friend.
" I guess Nik and Stefan were right we have more in common that we thought, and to as where we are going is Tennessee. " She smiled at the other blonde.
"Do all witches own bars?" Caroline asked as they were in the parking lot in front of a bar.
"Why do you say that" Rebekah was curious she only knew Gloria to have own a bar besides Lucy.
"Well when Elena had found out about her resemblance to Katherine she had taken off and crashed thanks to a vampire and Damon saved her but also kind of semi kidnapped her giving her a break from all the "drama" and took her to a bar in Georgia where a witch named Bree was the owner, and also when Stefan was locked up in Ripper rehab I would visit him at night and talk to him even though he said he didn't care I knew he did and he once spoke about a witch named Gloria that owned a bar in Chicago where he met you and Klaus back in the 20's." Caroline could feel herself opening up and forming a friendship with Rebekah.
"Ah yes Gloria's when Nik undaggered me she was the one who located my necklace, she was a powerful witch performed an aging spell to age slowly, I guess we will have to ask about that, and I knew Bree Damon killed her, but on to more important things come on."
"Wait what are we doing here, what is she going to do?" Caroline had forgotten to ask how any of this would help her say her goodbyes to her mom.
"Don't worry Caroline, I promise its not a trick this is something I want to do to help you because I, um well, you see, I um I, I don't like seeing you sad it's a strange feeling so im doing this to help." Rebekah smiling big at Caroline.
Caroline couldn't help but smile back and nod. As soon as they entered Lucy recognized Caroline she was quite fond on the little Vampire, she was also best friends with her cousin Bonnie, which made her think why she was here instead of asking Bonnie for help.
"Care, what are you doing here? Is everything ok?" Lucy didn't notice Rebekah had entered the Bar with her.
"You two know each other how?" asked Rebekah.
"This is the friend you needed me to do the spell for, Caroline what happened?"
Rebekah nodded, and Caroline took a deep breath she didn't want Lucy to touch her she knew Bonnie sometimes had visions and she didn't want Lucy to know what was going to happen to Bonnie.
"My um my mom died, Elena shut off her emotions and killed her I couldn't save her Lulu i tried but I couldn't." She was sobbing and Lucy suddenly hugged her and Care couldn't help but automatically react.
"I'm so sorry Carebear, Rebekah here had an idea on how to help you and I just know it's the perfect thing for you, come on you two." Lucy lead them to her apartment upstairs.
While walkig upstairs Caroline wondered if Lucy had felt anything, or why she hadn't asked for Bonnie what was she going to tell her if she did. What she didn't know was that Lucy had seen a vision.
Lucy had a new found respect for her cousin she knew exactly what would happen she saw Caroline make up her mind. She also knew why her cousin had chosen her. As they entered Lucy quickly gathered what was needed and went to the living room. Rebekah and Caroline helped set the things up.
"Ok Care I just need you to place your blood in the bowl" Caroline did as told." Now I need you to concentrate on your mom" Lucy saw the confused face on her and simply nodded and smiled back to the blonde.
Caroline was confused but did as told. She could hear Lucy murmuring the spell she had learned Latin for Bonnie so she could help her with her spells. Her eyes widened when she realized what kind of spell Lucy was performing. Rebekah was surprised when she heard Caroline take a sharp breath.
"Do you understand what she is saying Caroline" whispered Rebekah
Caroline simply nodded, she didn't trust her voice at this moment.
Lucy stopped, when she looked up she knew Caroline would know what she had done. Both her and Bonnie would help her pronounce the words correctly and understand aswell. Caroline saw her smiling but not at her but behind her. She slowly turned around, she did the first thing that came naturally she ran towards her mom.
" Mom!"
