Chapter Eleven

"Are you sure that Rebekah just didn't ditch her cell phone here?" Stefan said flatly as he, Elena, Damon, Caroline, Klaus and Klaus' witch friend Jessica stood in front of an under construction location.

"How about you put your witch here to good use and have her track down Barbie and the rest of Percy Jackson and the Olympians." Damon said flatly as Elena looked around. Elena was just glad that they had convince or most likely forced Jeremy to stay back home with Matt, Tyler, and Bonnie.

"Why don't you shut up and let me handle this?" Klaus barked. "Jessica, you know what to do."

Jessica nodded as she turned her back on them and started murmuring under her breath.

Elena frowned. "Where's Elijah? I thought he was coming too."

"My noble brother is taking a short slumber." Klaus smiled cruelly. "Apparently he didn't have the guts to slay his beloved Katerina after all her treachery. She still has his wrapped around her little finger. It was a necessary precaution before he went all Romeo on her."

"You're the worst!" Caroline scoffed.

"Your brother is still obsesses with her?" Damon scoffed. "Instead of Katherine being the Goddess of Love and Beauty she should gain the title of Evil Slut Goddess."

Stefan rolled her eyes. "That's pretty big talk for someone who has been obsess with her for 145 years."

"Been there, done that brother it makes me glad that I wasn't the only one she fooled."

Jessica suddenly let out a shriek and they pulled back. Where Jessica's body had once been there now laid a pile of ashes.

"What the hell-"Elena mumbled.

"Thor, Loki, and Katerina are of Asgardian descent which means we're not going to find the fountain in New Jersey." Klaus said simply. "Asgardian magic is more powerful that witch magic so to get into this so called Vanaheim a witch needed to sacrifice herself to open the portal. Ladies first."

"Sir," the quivering guard stood still in front of Odin and Frigga. "I have just spoke to Heimdall it seems Thor and Loki have escape to Mignard in order to rescue Lady Katerina from a condition that may possibly take her life. They are no longer in Asgardian soil."

Odin sighed. "I was afraid of this, but I never thought that Heimdall would betray me in such manner." He waved the guard away.

"Betrayal?" Frigga snapped. "Heimdall could have possibly save our daughter's life! Why wasn't I inform that Katerina's life was in danger? Loki and Thor even put their differences aside to help her and they wouldn't have done that if it wasn't serious. She's dying, isn't she?"

Odin nodded. "From a cure made from a witch that cured her of vampirism, but instead has caused her some kind of advance aging. Though I don't know what Loki and Thor could possibly do, Loki's magic isn't strong enough to make her a Goddess."

Frigga stared at her husband in disbelief. "That's all you have to say? I already lost my daughter once thanks to both of your stubbornness, mark my words Odin I will not lose her again!"

"Don't be blind, woman!" Odin shouted. "You haven't seen the heinous crimes they have committed. You haven't seen the deaths that Katerina has cause on her behalf, it makes Loki's behavior on earth look tame in comparison. I know they are your youngest children and that you care for them Frigga, but I will not let your love for them stand in the way, Katerina and Loki must pay for all the horrible things they have done."

"She would still be my daughter!" Frigga shouted back. "Just like Loki will always be my son even if I didn't give birth to him. I am their mother and no matter how many horrible things they have done they will still be my children just like I will always be their mother. I love them equally, but you have pinned them against each other since they were children, always favoring Thor because he was your heir. You have turned their love into hate."

Odin didn't answer.

"Fine, as I always say you know best my husband. The God of Wisdom." Frigga said sarcastically. "But the more you pull back and forth, the more you try to push them-you'll end up losing them forever one by one."

"What exactly are we doing?" Rebekah demanded as she and Katherine crouched down inspecting gray rocks. "Making a rock castle we need to find the fountain, Katherine!"

"Rebekah, shut up." Katherine said flatly as she pointed to one of the rocks that had inscribed a weird blue symbol. "See? There are clues on the rocks, it will tell us how to get to the fountain."

Rebekah squinted. "You can read them?"

She nodded as she put the stones in her bag. "Asgardian children are taught these things ever since we were young. I'm actually surprise that I can still read some of them."

"Well, as long as either one of your brothers can provide backup in case you screw everything up I will be fine with it." Rebekah said as she stood up. "I've been meaning to ask why were you cursed by Aei? I couldn't be because you were so sweet and good."

"I was cursed," she winced as she felt her back crack like an old lady. "Because I let myself care."

"Katherine Pierce caring for somebody other than herself, forgive me if I find that hard to believe."

"I was a different person back them," Katherine responded tightly, and before she knew it she was blurting it out. "My best friend, Fulla was killed and I tried to bring her back to life. I heard that Aei was a powerful sorceress so I tried to sneak out one of her spell books, but she caught me and cursed me with my doppelgangers. I couldn't save my best friend, but it was stupid from the start, you don't try to reawaken the dead."

Rebekah sucked in her breath. "I'm sorry."

She shrugged. "It happened centuries ago."

"You know I find it funny that for being the Goddess of Love as well as Beauty why you play with some many different men. Why not stick with one, you're a princess you can have anyone within the snap of your fingers."

"And you're an Original vampire." Katherine shot back. "And still it makes me wonder why men seem to prefer the damsels in distress like Caroline and Elena. It makes me think that men are afraid of girls that actually have a backbone. As for the reason of not falling in love, I let my guard down once and it backfired."

Rebekah looked at her curiously. "What happened?"

"Simple." She replied. "I met this wonderful God, we were going to get married and he stood me up at my own wedding. Later on I found out that he never really loved me that all he wanted was the throne."

"So because you have had some, dare I say awful experiences you instead refuse to care for anyone other than your family." Rebekah replied.

"No, what I learned," Katherine said as she walked back to the campsite. "Is that you don't let yourself care for anybody."

-End of Eleven-

The relationship between Rebekah and Thor is merely friendship :) I saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and I loved it, it was great. Black Widow and Captain America make a kick ass team. I can hardly wait for Avengers 2 next year!
