Pushing off against the wall she walked into the kitchen and sat on the edge of the table looking at Hayley. It was an unfortunate series of circumstances that lead them to this place. She only came for Elijah wishing to see the downfall of her brother Klaus but somewhere along the way found old feelings restored and a connection with Hayley. The girl wasn't just the pregnant wolf carrying her brother's child anymore she was family and that was a dangerous thing for anyone close to the Mikaelson family.

Of course she cared given that she'd turned around and headed back to New Orleans when she found out Hayley had gone missing. She'd save the wolf from homicidal witches and vampires and she already loved that little girl growing within Hayley. "Off with Marcel, of course he is."

For some reason despite the burning hatred Nik said he had for Marcel the two were inseparable always judging the strength of the other. If Nik were smart he would take what he currently had and get out. Elijah was right, all they ever wanted was a family and for Nik now that wasn't enough, nothing was ever enough.

Nik was tail spinning fast as shown by biting Elijah and leaving him in the Bayou with Hayley. A hybrid and werewolf bite wouldn't kill them but coming down from it was torture. "What did he say while he fought the bite?" She was curious as to what part of his life he'd remembered. Their human life? Himself as a new vampire? New Orleans? Mystic Falls? Katherine?

"We're all next depending on Nik's mood." When asked if she were staying she didn't know the answer, "Nik will one day push us all away, he always does. It's just a matter of time before he daggers me or forces me out again." New Orleans hadn't been her home since their father had run them out years ago and no place with Nik would ever truly be safe.

Rebekah could easily remember Celeste, it was the last time she'd truly seen her noble brother happy but much as he always did Nik found away to take that away as well. Elijah didn't easily love or allow people in and Celeste had been the bright point in her brother's time in New Orleans. "I'd never seen Elijah so happy but much as we always do Elijah disappointed our brother and Celeste paid the price."

Always and forever seemed to have turned in to the amount of time that Nik would put them both through hell for loving him. For believing that little boy for their childhood still existed someone within the man he was now. "He wasn't always this way, though it becomes harder and harder to remember back that far. We had many siblings you see but it was always the three of us who stuck together."

So much pain and heartbreak had been placed upon both she and Elijah due to Nik and yet Elijah believed in this false idea of redemption. "Elijah believes this baby will be our evil brother's redemption, I believe there is no redemption left. What I do believe is that he wasn't born this way."

As Hayley touched her stomach Rebekah couldn't help but smile, "I stay because there's hope, hope that we can be a family again. A hope that you and Elijah give me and Nik tries to tear down. Elijah doesn't protect you out of honor or his word, I think we both know that." Though hope was becoming rare as Nik fought to show everyone who held the power, including his family.

"Hope is a dangerous thing and I always hope for my brother's redemption but even when they have been sparks of something before it wasn't enough to set the fire. I've been betrayed by him too many times to hope for something I've never seen." The last good place she'd been had been Mystic Falls, the only good in her life being Matt. However he was right, the life she lead wasn't reality, not for a human and his life was messed up enough she didn't want to add in being a teen vampire as well.

She would admit that they had been a change in not only Hayley but also Nik. When she'd met the girl in the park she'd wanted to get rid of the life growing inside of her and then fought to save it. Maybe this child wasn't Nik's redemption but Hayley's. "Even if Nik doesn't change you and this baby will always be our family and as Elijah has said, family is forever."

Most would never understand why she stayed but, between their mother trying to kill them all and Kol dying in the hunt for the cure, Elijah and Nik were all she had left.

As Hayley seemed to find herself stuck on speaking about Elijah she couldn't help the smile that curved her lips. Yes she knew it was a bad idea and yes she warned Elijah away from it but there was something she hadn't seen in her brother in a long time when he looked at her. "Noble, caring, protective, utterly too serious?" She asked tilting her head with a small laugh.

The smile was short lived though knowing that Nik would have no problem daggering Elijah for what he would see as a betrayal. If Nik didn't love Hayley then why did Elijah have to suffer for what Nik saw as his? It was cruel and if Nik was anything it was territorial and cruel.
