Thank you all for the follows, likes, and the reviews! I really appreciate it! It's been a tough week and a half for me. Just got in a mindset to type again after having to deal with my cousin passing but like I said I needed the distractions and here we are with an all-new chapter. I really hope you all like it! It actually went from being a single character chapter focus like I planned. Instead it became a conversation chapter between the Mikaelsons. Klaus is still going to be the badass Klaus we all know and love (hopefully I do him justice) but we just have to get him through some stuff first. It's not as long as my last chapter but I believe it'll get the story in the direction I need it to. Again don't be a stranger review, inbox me, come to my Tumblr (Klarolinelovin) if you have any suggestions, critique, or just want to know more about me :)! Enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 2

Over in New Orleans, the mansion was quiet after a long night of dealing with the city's supernatural factions. The wolves wanted more land to roam, the witches wanted more freedom to use their powers, and the vampires didn't want any of that happening. After coming to a decision not everyone was happy with, the meeting was over, and the word was final. Everyone in the city knew that the Mikaelson's final word left no room for debate.

The family knew that even though they ran things, they had to try and keep everyone at least somewhat satisfied to succeed at finally breaking the curse that's been haunting the family for over a millennium. They also knew that they had to break it for another reason because of a promise made to someone they lost long ago.

As everyone sat in the compound thinking over the night's activities, only one person was brave enough to spark up a conversation amid pure silence.

"Sooo, are we just going to sit around knowing that the doppelganger, the moonstone, and your sacrifices are all lying in wait for this bloody curse to finally be over?" Kol said out of boredom.

Kol Mikaelson, the mischievous brother, no morals, does any and everything he wants not caring about the consequences.

"Kol would you stop being a wanker and not say every thought that comes in that idiotic mind of yours for once" Rebekah responded wanting to dagger her brother for saying something that is even in roaming around in her head.

Rebekah Mikaelson, the last girl in the Mikaelson pack. She's the official youngest now, spoiled, bratty, fell in love too easily, very deadly, and takes no shit from anyone, not even her four older brothers.

"Oh Bekah, you know you wanted to say it, I was just willing to take the chance of being daggered by mister I'm so sad and all I want to do is draw my dead girlfriend," Kol said while pointing over to his older brother who was sitting by the fire with a notebook in hand not focusing on anything going on around him.

"KOL! That's enough! You will stop before I dagger you myself." Elijah said with a voice leaving no room for anyone to argue. Elijah Mikaelson the oldest "walking and talking" Mikaelson there is in their pack right now. He was the noble brother, the one you try to bargain with that will listen within reason and will do anything to protect his family.

"Elijah, it's not fair that he gets to act like he is the only one that lost her! WE ALL LOST HER! I met her first for crying out loud. If it wasn't for me none of you would be feeling like this. She was my friend, my sister, and he is not the only one that loved her." Kol says downing the last of his bourbon.

"I just know when the time for grieving is over and when we need to focus on things that are actually still happening today like the damn curse our psychotic mother put on the bloody bastard." With that Kol left out the room not waiting for any of his siblings to respond.

Elijah and Rebekah just stared off after him and looking back to the one who still hasn't said anything expecting him to blow up any minute now and attack Kol.

"Niklaus, before you do anything whatever he said wasn't..." before Elijah got to finish Klaus finally decided to speak

"Wasn't what Elijah?" As his focus was still on the notebook in hand, the pencil was down now he was just staring at the picture on the page.

"Wasn't true? We all know what our dear brother said was something you all have been thinking for decades now. My focus isn't where it should've been for centuries now. How could it be when the only woman I have ever loved died before I could show her just how much I loved her." He took a breath before he continued.

"The last promise I made to her after mother that curse on me was I would become whole again for her because she would've wanted me to be everything I was born to be. I'm holding off on breaking that curse after 500 years of trying to find another doppelganger because as soon as it's over the last thing that tied me to her is gone." Klaus said getting up leaving the room to be away from his siblings who were staring at him with pity.

"Elijah" Rebekah finally spoke after taking a moment to take in everything their brothers said in the past five minutes.

"What are we to do about this. One brother wants the other to get over himself and finally finish what has been haunting us for 1000 years while the other waits because he doesn't want someone out of his life who's been out of it for the same amount of time." She finished

"Rebekah, our brothers lost the one person who understood them both and brought them closer just by being in their lives. Yes, Kol loved Caroline and not in a romantic way but she was his go to and he took a chance bringing her around the family even though he was scared he'd lose her as his friend. While Niklaus has never shown an ounce of emotion as strong as the love he had for her. When Kol finally brought her around, Nik was in awe of what he saw and even Kol saw that look in his eyes. They shared her and since she's been gone I don't think their relationship will ever be the same."

"But, how are we to decide on what the next move is. Everything is ready for us back in Mystic Falls, and all we must do is get there and do this damn sacrifice. Nik will be whole again and maybe we can finally move on and be a family again. Maybe even wake Finn, live our lives without this burden weighing on us. Our parents will be in our past and so will she."

"Rebekah, no matter how hard we wish for it. They will never be able to move past that dreadful day. Every few centuries when we returned to that same spot, that's the only time they'd work together to make sure nothing was ever tainting the spot where she took her last breath. I don't know how we get past this and I'm afraid if we don't our family will never be happy." Elijah stated leaving Rebekah alone and in her own thoughts.

What has her family become and what would they become because of a girl who Rebekah had finally begun to see as a sister, was killed on the same night that their mother decided to curse their brother binding his wolf side because of her indiscretions. Rebekah knew that it was time to end this torture and finally stick it to their parents and live life without having to worry about them having something over all of them.

She knew that it was time to shake her brothers out of their fog and get to Mystic Falls for the very last time. Even though she didn't show it she loved Caroline and knowing that it was getting closer to the point in where they'd finally have to leave her in the past hurt, but it was time to move on. Rebekah wiped the single tear off her face and knew she had to start packing up the car for this trip. She'd do whatever it took to free her brother even if he daggered her after.

Next chapter I believe I want to throw in the Mikaelson's again MAYBE! I might go back to Caroline to see what she's up to but it could be that single character chapter on the Mikaelson's side and possibly a little flashback.

Again review, love, hate! Whatever you choose thanks for reading!
