Always&Forever

THE IRONY WAS THAT HE'D HEARD OF THE MIKAELSONS. They were discussed occasionally in the coven of Ancient Sisters -- mostly as threats, but he'd never actually seen one in person (that he knew of, anyway). Witches and vampires didn't get along with each other for a reason... try as a vampire might, there just never seemed to be enough to give to one. The club stood out in a town like this and when he'd heard two of the Mikaelsons owned it, it seemed to make sense to him. He sat there at the bar, eyes occasionally reading from the book in front of him and glancing at a potential issue he saw or felt, until his eyes met a figure he'd definitely never met before. "Don't tell me this is the weirdest thing you've ever seen in a club like this."

Rebekah had decided to be more present in the bar as of recent, getting used to the staff and the patrons that came regularly. Which made it very easy to spot someone new and out of the ordinary in an establishment like this. Her eyes landed on him, his features very familiar but she couldn't quite put her finger on why they were just so familiar. Her eyes fixated on him as she approached the bar watching, he seemed to be reading. And well this wasn't quite the place to be reading a book was it? lots of amazing half naked women dancing no man should be sat with their head in a book. ''You'd be wrong- it very much is the strangest thing i've seen in this club. None of the girls catching your eyes?''

Rebekah absolutely adored spending time with Hope, it reminded her of the simple time when it was just the two of them and Rebekah raised her for a while as it wasn't safe for her to be home with the rest of their family. Pushing her up and down on he seesaw, she couldn't help but smile. She was so pure, and yet future Hope seemed so broken Rebekah feared the life that was to come for her. She was pulled from her thoughts as she heard someone approaching immediately becoming on edge but when she heard the voice a sigh of relief passed through her whole body. Raising her brow as she noticed both of the twins not too far from them now. A chuckle passing her lips. ''I believe we've come a long way from the teenage dramas.'' she shrugged. ''They look like they're doing well with the move..''

stiles couldn't help but laugh in response to her comment, a goofy smile spreading across his face. "well, you better get used to it. with your brothers, and now me, you're going to have to deal with being called out a lot." he chuckled again, then propped his elbows on the table, chin resting in his hands. "yeah, i totally get that. i've kinda' gotten to the point where i guess i've accepted that it happened and i won't find out what exactly happened." he shrugs his shoulders, nose wrinkling a little. of course, he knew that the rest of the pack were still pretty damned determined to find the culprit. but, stiles wasn't sure what their endgame was in that department.

The guilt was getting worse the more she looked at him, he clearly cared for her and she him. It just wasn't something that she felt when her humanity was off, she didn't care. Flashbacks of him begging her to stop ran around in her head and she swallowed trying to remain calm. Letting out a chuckle as he spoke. ''I've been called out for a very long time, all my life even i'm sure one extra body won't hurt.'' she listened to him go on about the attack, he seemed better about it, perhaps it was a good thing for her to have compelled him. If he knew he would be broken. ''Perhaps not finding out is for the best, you seem to be doing better regardless so it doesn't matter.''

''She has a funny way of showing that, I believe she just wants her father and mother around. Apparently we aren't as present and that's something i'm less than impressed with myself about but it hasn't happened here yet so I can only apologise to her for it.'' She couldn't change it, she could only make up for it.

Rebekah could smell the dog on the other and sighed as she turned on her heels, what could she possibly want from her? ''I believe that is I yes, is there something I can help you with?'' she quizzed her eyes searching her features trying to figure out if she knew her in any way but she didn't seem to notice her at all. ''You're not after a job are you? you don't look the type, love.''

Giving the other woman a small nod, Raina smiled and tucked some hair behind her ear. "No need to apologize, it was a small interaction," she said. "Why are you out of sorts? Is everything alright?" //@originalblondebxtch

''I do believe you work for me though so perhaps I should have taken better care at remembering.'' she gave a soft smile before letting out a sigh. ''Perfectly fine, just family drama as always what can I say?''

THERE HAD BEEN FEELINGS. Maybe it wasn't love but it was something close to it. He had no real regrets when it came to Klaus but he wished someone better had been in his place when it came to Rebekah and even Elena. They both deserved better. "No, I won't." Stefan admitted softly, moving as quickly as he could without hurting her further. "But I am sorry for what I've done to you. You didn't deserve that and I swear to whatever God is laughing at us right now, you're not going to die like this."

Although it wasn't nice to hear she was glad he was admitting it. He probably wouldn't do so to Klaus himself but it was enough for her. She wasn't expecting an apology of any kind off him nor was she expecting him to be so determined to save her life. ''Stefan...it's fine. I never hated you. I hated Klaus for making you forget me nobody can change that.'' she coughed wincing slightly once more. ''It would be a pretty pathetic way for me to die after all these years.''

Rebekah's brow rose at the other she had to think for a moment before she could remember, most of that night was filled with memories of Faye or her brothers. ''Ah yes..forgive me I don't quite remember your name..'' she thought a moment longer before it finally hit her. ''Raina! That's it, sorry love i'm a bit out of sorts.''

stiles flashed rebekah a lopsided grin, thanks to her compulsion he was completely oblivious that she was his attacker. "you.. behaving? i'll believe that when i see it." he teased, his half smile stretching to form a wide one. "i'm getting there. my memory is still a little spotty but my wounds have almost healed and i'm just happy to get back to normality." stiles spoke sincerely.

She couldn't help the guilt that was eating her up, he was such a nice person and she'd chosen him of all people to suck completely dry and almost kill. ''Perhaps you're right I never will but you know I don't like to be called out on it.'' she chuckled slightly. Searching his eyes for something, she could feel he was confused and that was understandable she wanted to tell him but god would he hate her, and she didn't want that. Plus if he remembered it would destroy him she had to convince herself this was for the best. ''Maybe you're just blocking it out because it was that horrible?'' she shrugged before giving him a soft smile. ''As long as you're safe and happy that's what matters to everyone.''

the light brushing of rebekah's thumb on her lower back had a slight shiver running down faye's spine. it was strange, how safe she felt in the arms of the blonde. of course, the young witch could protect herself but.. having someone like rebekah to make sure she stayed out of trouble.. that was nice. a light laugh then left the ravenette's lips as the other woman spoke again. "i'm a big girl, i can look after myself. all i'm saying is i'm enjoying being doted on by you." faye said with a light laugh. "and if i always want you.. then what?" the young witch asks with a smirk.

Rebekah couldn't help her smile at the others admission, the fact she enjoyed Rebekah doting upon her made her melt inside. No matter how much the blonde tried to deny or push away any feelings she was growing for the witch they always fought their way back to the front and consumed her. Her eyes moved across the other as she continued to carry her, her thumb caressing her leg as she walked, stopping instantly as she asked what if she always wanted her. Eyes fixated upon her with a soft look. ''Then i'll always be there, if you want me. For as long as you want me. It's becoming very hard to deny anything when it comes to you, Faye.''

"Dear sister, your reputation proceeds you." Learning against the wall, eyes fixated in her sibling, she was far from amused at what she had discovered. She knew that her family was far from behaved, however she still expected better. "What happened to choosing a victim that actually deserved it?" @originalblondebxtch

Rebekah smirked at the sound of her sisters voice turning on her heels to face her. Rolling her eyes as she continued to speak. ''Freya, i'm not due another lecture from a sibling quite so soon. I've not long since had a lecture from Niklaus and Kol I wasn't expecting you to join them as well..''

IT WAS AN INSTINCT THAT KICKED IN entirely too quickly, before he even stopped to think about leaving her there or not... but he wasn't that kind of guy. Maybe tense, definitely broody and definitely in love with her brother. "I don't hate you, Rebekah." It was an odd history they'd shared and one that he hadn't remembered until he finally had, and Stefan did hold some regret, sure. They had fun together until she introduced him to Klaus, and then it was downhill from there. "I should hate your brother but I never hated you. I didn't remember and by the time I did, it seemed to be too late. It's not too late for you though. I'll get you to Klaus."

No matter how he denied it she knew he didn't love her the way she had once loved him. She wasn't stupid. No matter how many times he and Klaus denied it or rather didn't bring it up at all she knew what had been going on she just didn't wish to believe it. ''You'll never hate Klaus.'' she coughed slightly wincing in pain as she lent her head against his chest as he carried her. ''You know you won't and it'll ruin things for you Stefan.''

although her own walls had shot back up following the jealousy she felt during the ball, thinking about rebekah wanting to feed on other people.. wanting to be with other people. that didn't mean that faye felt anymore sane around the blonde, or that she could separate herself from her intense need to be by rebekah's side. lashes fluttered a little as she pushed back blonde locks, dainty fingertips passing down the side of the vampire's face. faye felt her breath catch, then bit her tongue, harshly, in an attempt to draw herself out of whatever hole she'd managed to find herself trapped in. however, feeling rebekah lean into her touch, she couldn't. how could she escape the way she felt about this woman? the delicate words spoken had faye's gaze trailing down to the blonde's mouth, watching her lips form the apology. "i.." faye swallowed hard, making an attempt to form a sentence in her mind before opening her mouth. taking a breath, the ravenette then began. "it's okay.. you don't have to apologise. i- i get it. more than anyone. i was pushing you away too. in all honesty.." she was rambling now. "..i don't tend to get so close to people so easily and it's terrifying. but, i can't stay away from you. i can't ignore the way i feel about you. i- i don't want to." faye exhaled a shaky breath. the hand that cupped rebekah's cheek, moved down to settle at the side of her neck, fingertips pressing against the nape, drawing the blonde closer.

Rebekah knew that when she was humanityless she had done some stupid things, pushing Faye away being one of them. The whole time she had been fighting her inner feelings to stay away from her humanity so it was easy to hide from it but now? now she couldn't run from this not anymore. Closing her eyes at her gentle touch, how she craved even the slightest touch from the witch. Just being around her was enough to make her forget about everything and anyone else. When she spoke suggesting she didn't need to apologise she shook her head vigorously in disagreement. No matter what Faye thought Rebekah did owe her an apology even if she didn't feel she did. Her words were honest and it made Rebekah's heart skip slightly. Her touch sending a tingle down her body, a soft sigh passing her lips. ''Then don't stay away..'' her voice was gentle her hand reaching to rest on the others waist. ''Don't ignore it...I don't want to ignore it and I don't want to ignore it. The way I feel about you is consuming me and it scares me...so badly.'' she paused letting out a sigh. ''But i'd rather be scared than try to push you away anymore Faye..''
