It was crazy to think that just yesterday I was waking up in the compound actually happy even though that included Klaus as crazy as that whole mess was since we were clearly starting something in which we really shouldn't be with how much everything else surrounding us was already complicated enough and I blame it purely on the hormones but I knew that was only a 3rd of the truth but right now I couldn't think about any of that as I didn't know what was happening back in the quarter since Hayley and I were standing side by side with Sabine or Celeste whoever this was tied up in front of us with the plight to break the curse on the crescent wolves.
Since both Hayley and Eve were holding shotguns while Jackson and the other wolves surrounded us it was me who stepped forward and ripped the duct tape covering Sabine's mouth not caring one bit the pain it clearly caused her.
"So what's this, payback?" she barks out as soon as the tape is removed and I stepped back since I never trusted witches. "Look I'm sorry I tricked you, I wasn't after you" she added and we all glared at her.
"What and we were just collateral damage?" Eve remarked making me turn to look at her, I hadn't met her until last night when we brought this witch bitch out here. "You almost burned them and Jackson alive in that plantation fire" she adds while Sabine struggles against the ropes to free herself right as Hayley fires the gun shooting a warning shot near Celeste.
"Careful Sabine or Celeste, or whatever you like to call yourself, sudden moves make me jumpy" Hayley spits at her as she cocks the gun again. "And homicidal"
"What you're gonna kill me, honey?" Celeste asks her with a smirk but we weren't that stupid.
"No we know better" I spoke up crossing my arms glaring at her while the wolves growl behind us.
"See we know all about you, we know that you like to off yourself and then jump into other people's bodies, well that's not gonna happen here, I know I can't kill you but try hexing me and my friend Eve here will kneecap you, go for her and then well I'll really make it hurt" Hayley warns her.
"So, what do you want?" Celeste asks us.
"Back in the 90's, you inhabited a witch named Brynne Deveraux, remember?" Hayley asked her and her face told us everything we needed to know. "Marcel had her...you put a curse on a lot of werewolves so they'd only turn human on a full moon"
"I see...yes that was me and let me guess you want revenge" she replied.
"I want you to undo the curse" Hayley protested and I watched her face drop a little out of the smug smile in which she'd previously held.
Hayley and Eve took to watching Sabine/Celeste as she seemed to begin to make something while I sat down on the porch around the shack that lead to the dock in which sat out over the bayou and grabbed the book in which so far I had hesitated to open, this book would tell me everything I needed to know about who I was but I wasn't so sure I wanted to know, I let out a sigh when I felt eyes on me and looked up seeing Jackson in his wolf form standing there in waiting for me to open it.
"Here" Celeste suddenly speaks up and I look up watching her hand Hayley a jar with a green liquid in it and Hayley takes the jar from her. "It's herbs ground into paste, it'll act as a conduit for the spell on the next full moon, your people become human feed it to them, the curse will be broken"
"Great way to poison us all at once" Hayley spoke up and I nodded my agreeance not knowing if we should even be trusting this bitch right now.
"Look I know you have no reason to trust me but Hayley I actually like you, I was you caring for Elijah when he cared more for his brother and I ended up dead, so did a lot of others" Celeste argued looking at Hayley. "This, call it a chance for me to give you what I was too in love to give myself, it's a chance to free yourself from The Originals...both of you" she adds looking over at me with the last part and I glared since she didn't know anything about me.
"You believe her?" Eve asks as the wolves let out growls.
"Whatever she's promised you, it's a lie" Elijah suddenly say as he appears.
"Elijah, it's okay I'm okay, were okay" Hayley quickly tells him.
"She cannot be trusted" he argues pointing down at Celeste.
"She's the only one that can help the pack" Hayley protests.
"Do you have any idea what she has done to our family?"
"I know you want revenge and come the next full moon, when I'm sure her cure works she's all yours" Hayley replies while I just glare at him since I still couldn't get the image of what he did to Klaus out of my head and after all this I was gonna go back to help him even if I had to go through one false noble original vampire to do so.
"Are you suggesting that we hold her...her" he enunciates pointing at Celeste. "Captive for an entire month, it would take an army"
"And we've got one" I spoke up stepping up next to Hayley as the wolves all howl from all corners of the bayou signalling the army we had. "So help us or get out of the way" I glared right at him but next thing we knew he had grabbed Sabine/Celeste and was gone as well as the jar from Hayley's hands and our cure. "Well that's just great" I scoffed walking over and sitting back down on the porch grabbing the book.
We could nothing but sit and as if the wolves gave up they all ran with only one wolf left behind...Jackson and I frowned grabbing the cover and lifted it open seeing a whole lot of names but none of them stuck out so I flipped through the pages until my eyes stopped on a name...mine...Hadley Lockwood-Kenner...it was all true and my eyes immediately looked up seeing Jackson right in front of me.
"How...it's true" I whispered out and his head nodded once...this was also my family...and my half-brother was betrothed to Hayley who by this book really was apart of this pack too, Andrea Labonair...we were both two sides of werewolf royalty and since Jackson was the Alpha then that meant I was...in a way Alpha bloodline as well, I wasn't some bastard child and I actually had a pack and I could find my place here with them if I wanted...those words brought something back to my head. 'Find your place sister' is the last words Tyler had said to me before we fell apart and despite all this I finally had a chance to do that.
I smiled as I look up but it immediately drops when I see Elijah and Celeste return to the walking towards where Hayley sits on a log so I stand up and walk towards her since this was my pack too and I saw that now.
"You came back" she stated upon seeing him and stood.
"I'll always come back" he replied then held up the jar towards her. "Take it, it will work" Hayley smiled as she excitably takes it from him as I rolled my eyes since she was seriously blind when it came to Elijah, he wasn't some savior or noble like he appeared as and I knew that I could never trust him again after everything I'd seen.
"Eve, Hadley and I will round up as many of our people as we can, come full moon we can finally free our family" I turn away as she hugs him.
"Hayley..." Elijah says as they pull apart before he kisses her forehead very meekly. "I wonder if they have any idea how lucky they are to have you" he says and I roll my eyes while Hayley smiles turning finally allowing us to leave and I watch as Jackson comes bounding behind us making me smile a little since as much as it was strange for the fact that I just found out I have another half-brother and my previous complicated relationship with Hayley I rooted for them more than I did her with Elijah even if that meant we'd end up Sister-In-Laws...good god kill me now actually.
Hayley and I made camp with the werewolves seeing as neither of us really had a home in the city any more and with the mess siblings were dealing with now we figured we were better off here but a part of me ached to go back, to find Klaus and talk to him so that he knew I was still on his side but now that I knew that I was as much a part of these people as Hayley I wanted to stay here at least until we helped them and I just hoped that Klaus wouldn't see it as a betrayal because over all these months so far he's been far better relief to all the drama than I'd have ever imagined and I knew stupidly that I have allowed myself to fall...fall harder than I should have but I still fell for him none the less and who knows what that meant for us but right now it meant nothing as I had to think about myself and our baby before anything else including my feelings for him.
"Rebekah, what are you doing here?" I heard Hayley say as we sat by the fire to keep warm seeing as it wasn't really the four seasons out here and I looked up seeing Rebekah walking towards us in one piece which clearly meant that for now the feuding between the Mikaelson's had to be over.
"I came to say good-bye" she replied and my eyes furrowed a little.
"What happened to us girls sticking together?" Hayley asked her as we stood and walked to stand in front of her.
"Well, Nik and I came to a sort of all-or-nothing arrangement, I leave town for good and he allows me to, can't pass that up" she replies sadly and my frown deepened because back in Mystic Falls I had seen how much Klaus actually cared and loved his sister but they have allowed themselves to fall apart but I guess forever isn't always even for vampires and she's spent a millennium with Klaus to earn her own freedom just like I was earning mine now without the looming Lockwood name over my head of following Mason's words of always protecting Tyler, for once I was free to do as I wished.
"A thousand years with Klaus...I guess you deserve a few vacation days" I decided to speak up and she turned to smile at me.
"Listen about Nik" she began and I frowned not sure I wanted to hear this. "He is a monster, do not ever cross him but he does want more from life than to just be feared, he's too broken to find it himself but I do believe there is hope for him in the baby that you carry" she went on and my hands instinctively fell to caress my bump. "And speaking of your child...our family has no shortage of enemies, she will inherit all of them please, be careful" she warned me and I nodded my head.
"You know you can always come back and visit, I've been known to keep a secret or two from Klaus" I said smiling just a little bit because after everything I've come to actually like Rebekah.
"Well if I can't, you make sure to tell that little girl stories of her crazy Auntie Beks and let her know despite my absence, I do love her very much"
"I will" I vowed before we watched her leave with a small frown sharing a look with Hayley before we returned to the fire since there wasn't anything we could do to change what has been done back in the quarter, their family had been long been cracked and teetering fragile bonds before either of us were born, what we could do was remain here with the wolves...our people at least until the curse was broken.
