Hi everyone :) I give you all Chapter 5. If there are any Rebekah fans among you, then you will be happy because she is a main focus here.
As you may have noticed I changed the cover of this story. Hope you like it. (I am not good with graphics but I wanted to do something for this story.)
Chapter 5.
News
Klaus walked into his residence after a meeting with one of his spies. This was actually the first meeting that proved to be fruitful. He learned two interesting things. Marcel has acquired himself a new accomplice. Though this vampire didn't know his name he told Klaus it was a male vampire that was new in town and the word on the street is he has special abilities. Klaus has also learned about Marcel's secret weapon. Apparently he was close with a girl - a witch - who has extraordinary powers. Despite of her young age she seems to posses combined abilities of many witches. He was wondering if she could pose a threat to him and his family.
Klaus went back to thinking about the first case. Hybrid knew that to get to Marcel's inner circle he had to know something big, something that could be useful to Marcel. He was very careful and wouldn't let some random vampire let into his trusted group unless he or she had something to offer.
Klaus approached his bar and poured himself a drink. He was alone. Rebekah went to check upon Stefan and his crew and Elijah was occupied with the bloody werewolf. He could now have a moment for himself. He took the glass with him and went to his Atelier. He enjoyed spending his free time there. Thinking, reminiscing. Lately he has been working on a new painting but he wasn't able to finish it. No matter how hard he tried he just couldn't make it right. He wanted it to be perfect. But apparently it would never be as good as the real thing. This Girl was just breathtaking. Sheer perfection. And his work didn't do her justice at all.
He sat down on his brown-leathered sofa and took a sip of his drink. The painting haunting him from across the room.
He went back to his problem with Marcel.
It had to be Tyler. The secret companion of Marcel's. It had to be him. When Tyler came to him and told him he will do everything in his power to destroy him and make his life miserable Klaus knew he wasn't lying. He had this kind of madness in his eyes. Guess both of his proteges were now working together to destroy him.
Oh, Irony
Phone ring disturbed his train of thoughts. Patrick the screen showed.
"Finally" he picked up the phone "I really hope you have a news for me Patrick! It's been a long time..." he said. His voice impatient. He hoped he would hear some good news today.
"They flew to Frankfurt and then straight to Warsaw." The vampire paused. "I can sent you the security tapes we've found."
"Poland?" Klaus was astonished "Why there?"
"We have no idea. But we know for a fact that they hadn't flown anywhere else from this airport so it had to be their destination."
"Find out Patrick. I don't care what you do. Find out. And send me the security tapes right away." He hanged up without waiting for Patrick to respond.
Klaus took his iPad and opened his mail to see the message from Patrick pop in. He opened first attachment and played the video of Caroline, Elena and a third woman at the security gate. This girl definitely wasn't Bonnie as he thought it was. And she was a vampire because he noticed her compelling the man so they could board the plane without passports.
He watched all the videos. Every video was similar. Always three of them making their way through the airport. One thing seem to catch his interest though. Even though Caroline and Elena were best friends it seemed like Elena spent more time focusing on the other girl than on Caroline. Or was he exaggerating?
He took his phone decided to call his sister.
Rebekah was exhausted. Driving from New Orleans to Mystic Falls was not one of her brightest ideas. At first she planned to start her investigation right away but now she wasn't so sure. Now she just wanted to go back to her old room, lie down and sleep.
She parked her car in a driveway took her bag and came inside. She hasn't been here five months. She made her way upstairs prepared herself a bed and took a quick shower.
When she was getting to bed she saw one missed call from Nik but decided to ignore it. She was too tired to talk to her brother. Not with his possessive personality. Talking to Nik was always challenging task.
She woke up next day and it was already noon. There was time to roaming around she decided to compel first person she meet for breakfast and then go straight to Salvatore's Mansion.
When Rebekah finally got there first thing that seemed out of place was the dreading silence. She thought it was uncanny. She came into the house and shout asking if someone was inside but no one answered her. It was weird. Wanting to be absolutely sure Blond Original checked every room. Even the creepy basement where they store their blood bags. Nothing. No one was home.
Since Stefan hadn't answered his phone, she despised Damon and Elena, and Caroline was at Whitmore there was only one person left to talk to. She wasn't really looking forward to this conversation since they left things not exactly on the greatest terms. Well, that's not true. She didn't leave on a good terms. After two months of their summer adventure she left him as soon as they got back to US. Leaving only kiss to her car and message she wrote on a piece of paper.
Matthew,
I really had to go. I'm truly concerned about Elijah so I'm going to NOLA to find out what is wrong.
I hate to leave you here but you know I'm bad with goodbyes.
I'm sure we'll see each other one day.
Forgive me...
Love,
Bekah
That was the note she wrote to him when she sneaked out of their hotel room in the middle of the night. She took care of the bill and left not looking back. Now she had to face him. After what she did.
Rebekah didn't expect to see him this soon. But there was no other way.
She decided to go to The Grill first. As far as she knew he still worked there and it would be better to meet him in public. She was afraid to meet him face to face. It was irrational fear but that didn't change the fact that she was nervous.
When she walked in there wasn't many people inside. It was too early for happy hour. She felt relieved when she saw some girl behind the bar. So he wasn't working today she will have to visit him at Lockwood former residence.
"Rebekah?" She heard familiar voice coming from behind her "What are you doing here?". She turned around to see his face. He definitely wasn't happy to see her. His voice suggested that but the face expression left her no doubt. She stood there in silence for a while. The sight of him walking away from her brought her back to reality.
"I came for a visit" she spoke instantly regretting the excuse she choose.
"How nice of you" he answered. He didn't even try to hide his sarcasm. "Sorry but I've got work to do. Nice seeing you Rebekah. Goodbye."
He went away carrying some boxes to the back room. She didn't even notice he was holding them up until now. And he called her Rebekah. Not Bekah or Beks as he used to. Though she shouldn't be surprised.
She followed him to the room.
"I'm sorry... to be bothering you." She hesitated. "But it's important."
"What is it that could be so important you need to speak to me?"
"It's about Stefan..."
"Of course it is." He said and went back to unpacking the contents of the box.
"It is not like that." She expressed. She didn't want to tell him the real reason she is looking for Stefan. But that would make it a lot easier. "It's about Nik. He has something important to talk about with Stefan but he cannot reach him so I was sent to find him."
"You are not the only one"
"What do you mean?" She was curious.
"Stefan is missing. Or he went away and doesn't want to be found. Elena and Damon are looking for him for like a three weeks now. They had no luck finding him. Maybe you will..."
"How long is he missing?"
"Since the graduation I suppose."
"And couldn't your friend Bonnie perform some kind of location spell to find him or something like that?" He didn't answer. His face just went blank and he wasn't looking at her anymore. "Matt?" she asked slowly, wanting to know what was wrong.
"She's dead" a small tear fell from his eye. "She died."
Rebekah was shocked. The witch was dead. Well, it wasn't like Rebekah like her or anything. But she was Matt's friend. She listened to the whole story how Bonnie died and how Jeremy kept it a secret for the whole time. When he was done they stood there silent for a while.
"You should go now." He broke the silence. "I really need to work."
"I'm sorry" she spoke. "About Bonnie. I'm sorry." And then she left him. Again. She will have to find Stefan by herself.
To find Stefan she will definitely need some witch assistance. Only one that came to mind was Aubrey. She was powerful enough and additionally psychic, she could do the trick. But the trip to her place would take Rebekah almost a day. She wasn't happy about another drive but what could she do?
She needed one of Stefan personal belongings for the witch to find him but she will take care of that first thing in the morning before she will hit the road. She knew she will find something at Salvatore's house. Today she was done with the search.
She bought herself a bottle of whisky and decided to drink it by herself while listening to some good music. That's all she wanted to do tonight.
There was incessant, annoying sound coming from far away. It took a while for Rebekah to realize it was her phone. Why was anyone calling her so early. She was enjoying her sleep. She thought it was probably Nik because she still hasn't call her back. She took a deep breath to prepare herself for that conversation.
"What do you want Nik?" She answered the call without looking at her phone.
"Hmmm, it's Matt." The voice on the other side spoke "I was wondering if you could meet me today before I go to work." There was a loud sigh. "Just to talk about Stefan I mean. You wanted to find him so I thought we could talk."
"Oh," Rebekah didn't know what to think. He might not wanted to talk about what happened between them. Maybe it was better to forget about the past and act like it didn't happen. "Ok. Could you meet me in Salvatore's house at... "she looked at her watch "7. We can talk there."
"Why there?" Matt asked.
"There is one thing I have to take care of."
"Ok. See you there." He hang up on her before she could say another word.
She had only twenty minutes to get her and she still had to take a shower and change. She had to hurry.
When she got there Matt was already there. He was waiting for her in the driveway. She approached him they awkwardly said hello and came inside the house.
"So are you still going to look for Stefan?" Matt asked.
"Yes I am. I've got a plan already and I just need something personal that belongs to him. For a spell."
"That is why we're here?"
"Yeah" Rebekah took a look around "but I think we have better chances of finding something upstairs?"
"How about one of his journals?" Matt suggested while following her up the stairs. "We should be able to find some in his room"
"His journals? Oh, right I remember he mentioned something about it once." They entered his room and looked around. "Where do you suppose we will find it?" Rebekah asked.
"How should I know?"
It took them almost half an hour to find the journals behind the secret compartment next to the bed. They haven't spoke a single world for the entire time.
"So I guess that's it." Rebekah spoke and looked straight at Matt's face. She put one of the journals into her bag.
"What will you do now?"
"I already made arrangements to see my witch. I'll be going right away to see her so I can be back as quickly as I can. Do you maybe... " the Original hesitated "want to come with me?"
"I don't think that's a good idea." Matt said. They were making their way out of the room and going downstairs. He continued "I have to be at work in less than half an hour and I really can't afford to take a free day." They went outside and stood in the driveway. "Will you let me know when you find him? I'm sure Elena and Damon would want to know what is happening to him."
"Sure." Rebekah responded. Maybe it was better if she went by herself. That way if she learns something important she could keep it to herself. "I'll try my best." She lied.
"See you next time?" Rebekah got inside her car.
"Good bye, Bekah." Matt smiled a little and walked away headed into the town.
Rebekah started the engine and drove away. There was a long way ahead of her.
After Rebekah reached Aubrey's place she came across a little obstacle. The girl that was sitting on Aubrey's porch told Rebekah that the witch is currently out and won't be back till the sundown or even the following day. Apparently her friend went into labor early this morning and Aubrey presence was required.
Rebekah wanted to turned back around and leave when she decided upon another idea.
"Do you know where this friend lives?" she asked a little girl.
"Yes. But you can't go there." The girl responded strongly. Even though the girl looked like she was maybe seven she acted like a mature person.
"What's your name, little girl?" Rebekah was considering compelling the girl for answer however took more harmless approach.
"Sarah. And I am NOT little." The girl said and smiled.
"Listen Sarah," Rebekah leaned in so that her face was close to girls' face "it's imperative- I mean very important that I see Aubrey today."
"It's about your friend, isn't it?" When Rebekah heard her words she was stunned. How did that girl know why she was here?
"How... " That were only words that came out of her mouth.
Sarah stood up from a chair and took Rebekah's hand. "I'm Aubrey's daughter you know?" She pulled Original vampire behind her so they both sat on the steps.
Rebekah was once again stunned. If that girl was her daughter did that make her psychic too? Is that the reason why this little girl seemed to know the purpose of her visit.
"Your friend, Stefan." The girl continued "He has been forgotten and it's been a long time since anyone's seen him." Sara turned her head from Rebekah and look beyond horizon "But now you need to find him and you are not the only one that is looking."
"Yes, there is also his brother."
"You brought his belongings. Give it to me. I will help you find your friend."
"But why? You must surely know who I am. Why are you so eager to help me?"
"Because your friend is in a lot of pain." She put the journal that Rebekah gave her next to her. "Wait here for a second I need to find a map." She stood up and run inside the house. She came back few moments later holding the map in her hands. She kneeled on the porch next to The Original Vampire and laid down the map so they can see it clearly.
It was something about this girl that Rebekah couldn't quite describe. She was so cheerful, so alluring
and so innocent yet she seemed like she's lived a hundred lives. Rebekah was drawn to her and she had no idea why. Maybe it was that need inside of her, this desire to have a children of her own one day. And now it was even less possible than before. The cure was not hers to take.
"Besides I'm not helping you." The girl spoke once again while she took Stefan's journal and placed it in the lower left corner of the map. "I am trying to restore some of the balance that was upset."
She put her left hand on the and performed an enchantment in Latin.
"Give me your left hand" Rebekah slowly execute the command. "You need to puncture your vein so we can use you blood for this spell."
Rebekah bit her hand and gave her hand to Sarah. The girl took her wrist in her right hand while her left still remained on the journal. She spoke more word in latin while the blood was dripping on the map.
At first nothing happened. Sarah released Rebekah's hand and stared into the map in a silence for a while. They reveled the location - Mystic Falls.
"Your friend" Sarah spoke. Her eyes was now closed and she had trouble breathing. "He is in a dark, small space." She paused to catch a breath. "There's water. Water everywhere. He's drowning. Time after time he's dying." A tear fell from her eye. Rebekah's heart broke for the girl but she was not able to interrupt her. "He needs you to get him out- " that was all. Her vision ended.
Sarah opened her eyes. She was breathing a little faster than usual but despite that she seemed fine.
"How will I find him?" Rebekah finally asked.
"You will know where to look. You need to go now. It is important."
"Maybe I should get you home?"
"I'm OK." She gave Rebekah this amazing smile. Rebekah wanted to stay and make sure the girl was fine. But she insisted that Rebekah leave.
"Thank you, Sarah." She made her way to her car. "I hope to see you again one day."
"Be careful, Rebekah. There is more to this than it seems." Sarah walked inside the house.
Rebekah got inside the car. She decided to call Matt and tell him what she's learned. Maybe he will have some idea where to find Stefan. But first she just needed to find a place to spend the night.
Song for this chapter : Shelter by The xx
You all make me soooo happy. For me every time someone reads, favorites, follows or reviews my story is like eating chocolate - and I love chocolate, really love it :):):)
The next chapter will be a little game-changer and it will be a start of the plot for the remaining of the story.
If you are yet to watch 100th episode of TVD don't read the following. Everyone else proceed.
I must admit I am kind of angry and disappointed with this episode when it comes to Kalijah. I expected some real Kalijah scenes. Don't get me wrong I loved it when Katherine saw Elijah - she was so happy and it looked like she really loved him, he was hers one and only. But I wanted more. I mean Elijah loved her so why wasn't he there to see her and say goodbye.
Klaroline scene - I loved! I was so happy they finally happened. But when I read that Julie Plec said it was their closure I was like "What? Are you efin kidding me?"
What did you guys think about this episode?
