"Give me the keys Niklaus, I'm driving" said Elijah sternly.
Nik did as he was told, which was something he never did. Elijah got in the driver's seat, while Nik was in the passenger's seat, and Kol slid into the back seat. Elijah speed out of the driveway. Once on the highway he was pushing 100 mph.
"Elijah, slow down. What are you trying to do to me? Kill me!" said Kol while buckling his seatbelt. His brother was usually a very slow driver so to see him weaving in and out of traffic was a bit horrifying.
"Hush now, I know what I'm doing. And have you forgotten, you are immortal, you can't be killed Kol" said Elijah while looking at Kol through the rear view mirror.
"Maybe not, but I can still feel pain" said Kol sounding like an insolent child fighting with his mother for not buying him a new toy.
"There" said Nik while pointing at a bar which was coming into view not paying attention to what was going on between his brothers.
… … … … …
Stepping out of the car Nik puts his sense of smell to work.
"She was here" said Nik quietly "I can smell her blood."
"Blood!" said Kol with panic in his voice.
"Do you think she is okay?" said Kol asking no one in particular.
"Where does her scent lead Niklaus?" asked Elijah.
"It would seem down the road. She lost a lot of blood, the scent is just strong enough for me to follow it" answered Nik.
"Good. Let's go" said Kol.
"Whoever did this to Bekah is dead" said Nik between his teeth.
"Patience, brother, let's find our sister first" said Elijah while walking back to the car.
… … … … …
They followed the scent until they reached the destination where it was the strongest. They arrived in front of a yellow looking building.
"What is Bekah doing here" asked Kol.
"I seriously doubt our dear sister came here on her own Kol" said Nik seriously.
"Yes Kol, Niklaus is correct Rebekah is not one for places such as this. She prefers the rustle and bustle of the town" said Elijah as he started to approach the front steps.
… … … … …
Rebekah was extremely exhausted. That scumbag, Mark, had come back a couple of times during the day to feed of her. He had left bite marks all over arms and legs; she was covered in blood. He had left some water and crackers next to her so she wouldn't pass out again on him, "how kind" she sarcastically thought to herself. She had managed to scratch him just under his eye, he had healed almost instantly, but she felt proud of herself for fighting back. He had punched her in retaliation and busted her lip but she didn't care; what was a little more blood.
… … … … …
Rebekah heard footsteps approaching; she braced herself to get bitten again. Mark walked in with a pair of jeans and his long sleeve shirt unbuttoned with a bottle of rum in his hand. She braced herself for what was about to come, she knew men were generally a bit more aggressive once intoxicated. He slowly made his way to where Rebekah was sitting on the floor. He drank the last half of the rum that was left and threw it into the fireplace causing it to rekindle a much bigger fire. He kneeled down in front of Rebekah and grabbed her chin.
"There there … this isin't going to hurt … much" he whispered into her ear.
Rebekah knew what was coming and she started to shake and cry.
"Stop crying!" he quickly compelled her. He started to tie her arms together "Now that's better. I don't want you getting bold and scratching anymore."
"Let go of me!" wailed Rebekah while trying to set herself free from his grasp. But he was too strong, he was a vampire after all and she no longer one.
He forced Rebekah to lie down and compelled her to hold still. "Good girl."
… … … … …
Niklaus kicked the door in without bothering to knock.
"She's definitely here" said Nik.
"Niklaus look on the top two floors, Kol look in the basement, and I'll look on this floor" ordered Elijah. The mansion was massive even for the three of them, it had, what seemed to be, an infinite amount of doors around each corner.
"This doesn't make sense" exclaimed Nik "her scent is all over the place here."
"What if it's like our home in London" said Kol while putting his hands on the closest wall "what if there are secret doors that can only be opened by performing certain tasks like stepping on a certain wood panel or pulling a certain book from a book shelf."
Just as they started looking for something that would hint to a secret door they heard Rebekah scream.
"Stop it you are hurting me"
They all exchanged horrified looks.
"Bekah!" screamed Nik at the top of his lungs "Bekah!"
