Thank you for the reviews!
These are based on scenes from season 3 and 4 of the Vampire Diaries. I do not own the characters!
I hope you like the scenes that I have chosen to show how Rebekah or Stefan feels during them. I tried to pick important ones for their characters.
Chapter 24: bonus
Rebekah gasped back to life. The air was welcomed as it filled her lungs. Rebekah looked around to see that she was still inside her coffin. The coffin its self was in what looked like a wooden building.
There was a man standing at the wall at the end of the aisle. When the man saw that Rebekah had awakened he took out a small knife and stuck it in neck. The scent of blood hit Rebekah and she sped towards him. She was very thirsty. Rebekah wondered how long she was gone and lying in her coffin.
Once she finished drinking the man dry, she let his body slump on the ground.
She looked around for her brother. Niklaus was nowhere to be spotted.
"What was so important to wake me, but not be here?" Rebekah wondered aloud. She personally thought nothing was more important than family. She would have waited for her siblings to awaken before rushing off to other important business.
Rebekah walked around the inside of the building trying to figure out where she was.
One of the walls said, "Chicago's storage." Rebekah hoped that it meant that she was still in Chicago and hopefully it was still 1922. But from the way the building was laid out she knew that it had undergone renovations and it was no longer the same time as when she was killed.
Rebekah hoped that Klaus would be there soon to explain everything to her.
As Rebekah walked, she came across a door. She opened it up and the view outside shocked her so much that she quickly shut the door.
"Bloody Hell," Rebekah said. Outside the door there were these machines going fast down a street. Rebekah assumed that they were cars, but she had never seen anything like that. There was also a machine moving fast and very high up in the sky.
Rebekah was used to waking up in a new time period, but usually the mechanisms were the same, always horses and small houses; not building that reached the sky. And there were never machines that scared Rebekah so much.
Rebekah heard voices that were coming closer to the building. Rebekah ran and hid in the shadows.
Klaus walked into the building. He called her name, but Rebekah did not want to go to him. He did just murder her. Rebekah stayed where she was in the shadows. Klaus was near the man who she drained of blood.
Rebekah found the dagger that was in her heart. She ran with all of her speed and shoved it into Klaus's dead heart.
It was a last minute decision, but Rebekah was glad that she stabbed him.
Rebekah could see in his eyes that he was upset. She knew no to anger him further or else she would end up dead again. He must have needed her.
"I understand that you're upset with me, Rebekah," Klaus said putting a hand on her shoulder.
This made Rebekah mad. Why wouldn't she be upset? She had been daggered for God knows how long and when she awoke she was abandoned and in a strange land.
"I brought you a peace offering," Klaus said.
As soon as she saw Stefan, her whole body lit up. He made her happy.
He was different. Both Klaus and Stefan were wearing different clothes than the nineteen twenties. Stefan's hair was also different. It made him look more mature and less like a player.
As much as Rebekah was happy, she could see that Stefan was not. Does he not recognize me? Rebekah asked herself.
Klaus then went over to Stefan and told him to remember.
Rebekah hoped that after this Stefan would know her. Rebekah wanted to go right back to where they were. Drinking and dancing and spending nights together.
Stefan took a few steps towards her, but before they were able to reconnect, Klaus took him away.
And the hybrid gave her no time to talk to Stefan he got right to business talking about "the original witch". Why did he not call her mother? Rebekah thought.
Rebekah was extremely happy that Caroline was not there to plan the dance. Probably more than she should be for a thousand year old vampire. However she didn't really care.
Rebekah wanted to impress Stefan. He had not shown much interest in her after he got his memories back. Rebekah hoped that an evening with everything twenties' would spark his interest. Especially after he saw how amazing she was.
Stefan and Rebekah hadn't been alone much since she came back to life. Rebekah planned on snagging Stefan for at least one dance, but hopefully he would want many more.
She went back to the Salvatore Mansion to pick the perfect dress for the evening. Rebekah wanted to wear something new. Stefan had seen all of her old dress and she wanted to fit in with the kids in Mystic falls.
No one seemed to like her here, and tonight, Rebekah was going to change it. The twenties were a magical time after all.
Rebekah was furious that she would not be going to another dance with a normal high school. She just wanted to fit in. Her brother's never let her have a normal life and that was all she wanted.
She was supposed to fit in at this dance. She even tried to find the perfect outfit, again.
She was happy that at least she was able to spend time with Stefan at a dance. He was trying to find good music to play for her.
She was happy that he took an interest in her.
In the back of her head, she knew that it was most likely a ploy to get the stake from her, but she didn't care. Her brother would call her naïve, but she knew what she was going.
"Stefan, do you remember us in the twenties?" she asked him.
"Yes. I was a ripper and I didn't care who I was killing," he said.
"Oh, bugger off about all that. We had fun and you know it," She said. Rebekah turned in a slow circle taking in all of the decoration for the dance.
"It seemed to be less effort," Stefan said. He came closer to Rebekah on the dance floor. "There definitely wasn't this many balloons." He kicked a red balloon over to Rebekah. It went up into the air and Rebekah caught it in her hands.
Rebekah rotated the balloon in her hand as if she was nervous to talk to Stefan. She turned so her back was facing him.
"Stefan, do you remember Marie-Claire? She was proposed to at Gloria's in the twenties," Rebekah asked.
"I remember," Stefan said.
Rebekah turned back around to face Stefan.
"That's all I want. I want to have a true love and get married and have the perfect normal life away from all this craziness." Rebekah's eyes shined with tears. She wanted the best, but she knew it wouldn't happen without Stefan by her side.
Rebekah teased Stefan over the hours, telling him that she hated all of the music he was playing. She kicked the balloons that scattered the floor. She was having a lot of fun for an abandoned dance; it was because she was with Stefan.
Rebekah had picked the perfect dress. It was a yellow that made her hair seem lighter. It of course was very expensive, and she knew that no one at the prom would out shine her because she had the best dress. None of the citizens from Mystic Falls would be able to afford a dress anywhere near it.
She did not have a date, but she wanted to prove to the people that she would most likely call enemies that she was okay.
Rebekah had tried to move on from Stefan. She had started to fall for the quarterback. He was nice to her, but he didn't like that she was one the "bad" side. Rebekah thought that he had just spent too much time in the small town, and the ideas of the citizens were getting to him believe drove his thoughts.
Both Matt and Stefan looked very handsome on Prom night. Rebekah was hoping that at least one of them would dance with her.
She was sitting at a table alone to her thoughts.
As much as Rebekah had tried to move past Stefan, he was still present in her thoughts. He was one of the few that had not died from Klaus when Rebekah was with them. Most of her lovers had died making it easier for Rebekah to move on because they were no longer present in her life. But, Stefan was there and she was extremely upset that she was not able to be with him and him alone.
Rebekah wanted to dance with Stefan more than Matt. Rebekah knew that she and Stefan could be soul mates if they gave it another chance. A real chance. Not the small get together that they have been having. She didn't count that as a real relationship because all they did was sleep together. And as much as that was, Rebekah felt that she deserved more as a women and an original.
She wished that she got the respect her brother received. Well, except for Nik chasing that blonde twit. She knew that Klaus could do better.
Rebekah knew that she could probably do better as well. She could move away from this small town and find someone that loves her for her; and not be second best.
Rebekah knew that she would probably move soon. She wanted to finish high school, at least once before she moved on to bigger and better things.
Only a few more days until Rebekah would leave and find a new guy to move on with and make her forget Stefan's name.
Up next is the epilogue!
