Chapter Sixteen
"Elijah."
Elijah turned around and faced his sister, since Katherine was sleeping and safe now he had thought that it would be the perfect time to "talk" to Agnes. He grew concern when he saw the worried look in Rebekah's face and he noticed that she was fidgeting.
"Yes, Rebekah? Can we speak later? I'm heading out-"
"I won't be here," her face turned serious. "I'm leaving Elijah for good. I only came to make sure that Katherine and Klaus hadn't killed each other and to make sure that you were safe. I thought I had another reason so stay, but-"she trailed off. "But I decided that it's time that I live my life. With Katherine and the babies and you and Marcel and this godforsaken city, there is just no place for me here. I want to be free and be happy."
Elijah softened as he kissed her cheek. "Be happy, sister you deserve it. Just keep in touch."
Rebekah nodded, as she smiled at her older brother. "I will, thank you and Elijah don't be a fool if you like Katherine tell her and explain this whole Tatia mess, otherwise you will lose her forever."
Elijah looked surprised by his sister's comment, but didn't say anything and instead flashed out.
Rebekah dried a stray tear with the back of her hand and smiled. She was finally free, she felt better than she had in days. Someone cleared their throat.
She turned around and gave a cold smile at the person. "Stefan."
Stefan stuffed his hands in his pockets. "So you're leaving."
"Yes, and I assume you don't care so that's why I wasn't bothering in saying goodbye." She said coldly as she attempted to walk pass by him, but Stefan grabbed her wrist.
"I know I hurt your feelings, Rebekah and I'm sorry, but I don't want to lead you on." He insisted.
"How noble of you, Stefan." She replied dryly. "You know before you gave me the I-still-care-about- the other Petrova bitch speech I was planning on asking you to come with me, so that we could travel the world. I'm glad I didn't. Say goodbye to Katherine for me, I'll keep in touch."
Agnes was waiting at the church, being surveyed by at least twenty of Marcel's vampires. She was trembling, but there was still a determined expression on her face even when Elijah approach them.
"Leave!" he barked at Marcel's men. They did as they were told, though grumbling.
When he was finally alone with Agnes he narrowed his eyes at her. "What you tried to do today was incredibly stupid. Should it have worked I wouldn't be standing talking to you peacefully right now."
"I did what I had to do," Agnes defended herself. "Those children are dangerous. Their deaths, that girl's death will be the only thing that will finally bring peace to this world. We don't need any more monsters."
Elijah pressed Agnes against one of the church's walls. "Those children are my family, the minute Katherine became pregnant with them she became my family as well. They are just children, babies they aren't a danger to anyone."
"You're fooling yourself." She chocked out.
"No," he said as he buried his fangs in her neck. "The only fool is you."
Marcel felt someone's presence behind him. He smirked. "Well, well Rebekah Mikaelson I'm glad to see that Klaus' hasn't daggered you yet. To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
Rebekah smirked as she leaned in against the doorway. "I came to say goodbye. We were family once it's the only decent thing to do. My brothers are staying here even though I believe it's the worst thing for them to do, but I'm leaving. I'm not going to be dragged onto their messes."
Marcel smirked as he opened a bottle of wine. "Smart girl. Drink?"
Rebekah grabbed the glass and smirked as she took a sip. "Are you trying to convince me to stay?"
"Perhaps, though you've been looking down and I'm guessing it has something to do with a certain Salvatore." He said slyly.
"Don't go there, Marcel."
"All right." He put down the glass of wine. "But if it counts for anything. I want you to stay."
Rebekah stared at Marcel. Dammit, he knew how to persuade her and as much as Rebekah hated to admit it, he still had some hold on her even though he will always choose Klaus over her. First Alexander betrays her, Marcel chooses Klaus, and Stefan still can't get over Elena. When was a man going to choose her for a change?
Marcel slightly opened the buttons of Rebekah's blazer. "Stay." He pressed his lips on hers and Rebekah wrapped her arms around his neck. Marcel opened the bedroom door and pressed her against the bed.
After a while, Rebekah pressed her head against Marcel's chest looking perfectly content. Marcel wrapped an arm around Rebekah's shoulder. "So what kind of messes are your bothers in now?"
"Well this city for one and," she hesitated. She knew that Marcel didn't know anything about Katherine and the babies. But would it do any harm to tell him? With Klaus and Elijah as threats and Katherine being no pushover either it wouldn't be that bad. Besides he was going to find out sooner or later when Katherine and Klaus came out with twin babies. "My brother Klaus impregnated the girl he has chased for five hundred years. It was one of nature's loopholes. Katherine Pierce."
"Katherine as in Katerina Petrova? Every time Klaus spoke of her, he sounded like he wanted to chop off her head, how did he get her pregnant? I thought she was a vampire."
"She was, she took a cure and they both had a moment of weakness and alcohol and desperation were involved." She laughed softly.
"How come I've never meet her?"
"He keeps her locked up."
Marcel frowned. "Curly hair? Has a yapping puppy that won't shut up?"
Rebekah looked surprise. "You know her?"
"I've seen her from afar, but I never meet her," he smirked. "So Klaus knocked up that Katherine girl with twins, but she is still in love with Elijah after 500 years. That is one messed up fairytale."
Katherine was curled up in her bed, when she heard the windows shattering. Confused, she sat up and Belle started barking hysterically. She sat up and growled. "What the hell Klaus?"
But she wasn't greeted by Klaus and instead she was greeted by a vengeful looking Tyler Lockwood who was holding a pair or ropes and a handkerchief. He smirked. "I finally found you." He looked at her baby bump. "Guess she wasn't lying."
Katherine sat up, not ever bothering asking who was the "who" that Tyler was talking about. She attempted to run towards the door as fast as she could, but Tyler block the exit and pressed both hands against her shoulders. "Hybrid, remember?" he snarled showing his fangs.
"Is that supposed to scare me?" She snapped. "Oh, please Tyler I've been alive for 500 years and since I'm no longer a vampire bite all you want."
"Oh, I'm not going to kill you yet."
"Really? That's great." She snapped sarcastically. "Now get the hell out of my house before you start regretting that you even set foot in here. Don't you and Care bear have some stupid sorority ritual to attend or something?"
Belle started biting his leg.
Good girl, Katherine though I really wish you were a pit bull right now though, instead the size of a rabbit.
"Don't bother yelling," he snarled as he pushed her towards the bed. "There's no one here."
Great, the one time I need someone everyone is conveniently missing, she rolled her eyes.
"How the hell did you find me?" she snarled as Tyler pressed her against the bed and tied her arms and legs with rope. She tried to punch him, but Tyler easily pushed back her fist and tied up both of her hands together. He wrapped a piece of cloth over her mouth to keep her from screaming.
"Elena giving you the cure was the best thing she ever did, remind me to give her my thanks." He put her over his shoulder and easily carried her down to the second floor despite Katherine's attempt to scream and move. He put her not so gently in the passenger seat of his car and removed the cloth so that she could talk as he speeded off.
"Easy, I'm pregnant and after tonight I'm kind of fragile," she narrowed her eyes at him as Tyler kept driving. "What are you trying to prove Tyler and to who? To Klaus? To Caroline? That you're not some pathetic mutt with anger management issues that is easily replaceable? What are you even doing here? Shouldn't you be with Caroline planning the marriage, the future, and the children you will never have thanks to me and Klaus? Or why not lock up the wine cellar from your mom so she doesn't choke on her own vomit?" she smirked. "Oh, no wait Klaus already took care of her."
Tyler stopped the car and forced Katherine to look at him by grabbing her chin. "You and Klaus have ruined my life! Have ruined Caroline's life and Elena's. You activated my werewolf curse, you made Caroline into a vampire, and you and Klaus have ruined Elena's life completely, she doesn't have no one."
Katherine smirked. "Poor, poor you how will you ever survive? Klaus and I have been terrible people, yes but you have to admit we gave you guys, life, a purpose if not for us you will be boring, normal regular college freshman, but thanks to us you are actually someone. You not so much, but little Caroline makes a better vampire that I would have dreamed of, and don't give me crap about Elena and about her sad, pathetic life she still has Jeremy which I admit is not much of a consolation prize, and she has her friends, Damon, and half of the town practically kissing her feet, and here she has you who is going to avenge all of them for all the horrible things that Klaus and I have done to make your lives just a little bit more interesting."
Tyler looked like her wanted to strangle her, but he relaxed. "No, I'm not going to kill you. Believe it or not there is someone who wants you more dead than I do. She was the one that lead me here, she knows all about you."
Katherine flinched. "Who are you talking about?"
Tyler shrugged. "I'm guessing you'll have to wait and find out. In your own words make life more interesting."
Panic rose in Katherine. She was not going to die, she was not going to let her children die especially in the hands of Tyler Lockwood of all people. She saw that her own door was still slightly open, using all her strength she pushed it open with her shoulder and arm and quickly started running as fast as she could.
She was in the middle of nowhere, but she was sure that she saw two cars earlier on. She was just about to scream for help, when she felt someone grab her by her hair and knocking her against the car several times until she was knocked out.
