Beauty & the Beast

Blonde Barbies

Me and Rebekah walk in silence.
She confidently struts in front of me looking everywhere. She blames me. And I don't blame her, but I just don't really care. I don't care enough to blame her.
She gives me the evil eye.
"Are you even looking?" She says.
"Duh!" I reply dryly.
"How selfish can you be, the very least you could do is help me look for him. We pass several people but none of them are the blonde man that loves me. None are the guy from me dream.
I just hope the others have better luck.
"So, while we're here, I have to ask," Rebekah starts.
We continue walking side by side.
"Do you actually like my brother?" She asks.
I roll my eyes.
"No, of course not, don't be stupid." I say.
"Right. Your whole no humanity thing- right," she starts.
"DID you ever have feelings for my brother," she continued.
I pause, this is a completely different, long and complicated answer.
"Maybe, once upon a time. But I don't feel anything, not anymore. Whatever lingering feelings I had are gone," I say harshly.
"I see. So did it ever occur to that maybe you shouldn't have come to New Orleans. I mean, your friends are mad at you. You won't talk o your mum. No body wanted you. Except Klaus, you literally drove him away. Quite frankly, you seem like a waste of space." She says.
"Okay you know what, Becks. Can I call you Beck's, I'm going to call you Becks. I'm here looking for your brother, so if your going to be a bitch, how about you just shut up, okay," I snap back.
"Look," she says turning to me.
"You messed with my brother, so you also messed with me. You broke his heart, so now thanks to you, none of us know where he is which means his gone on a bender... aka killing spree."
I have nothing to say. My bad won't
cut it this time.
An hour later, we still walk in silence. We haven't seen him yet
We go everywhere.
"Okay mouthy, my turn for a question," I say.
"Why do you still try and save your brother? He locked you in a coffin. He's daggered you so many times. I'm sure there have been times you've wanted him gone," I question.
She gets frustrated now.
"BECAUSE HE'S MY BROTHER...
HE HAS DAGGERED ME AND CAUSED ME MORE PAIN THAN ANYONE ELSE. HE KEPT ME FROM FINDING LOVE FOR THE LONGEST TIME. AND YES, I HAVE WANTED HIM GONE AND I HAVE ALSO EVEN WANTED HIM DEAD IN THE PAST. AND I HATED HIM FOR IT," she screams with her voice breaking.
"But he is also my brother, and despite everything I need him. Elijah NEEDS him, even Kol who would never dare admit it needs him. He was getting to a happier place and you ruined it, and I hate you for that. My brother loves you and he thought maybe, just maybe he could be the one to turn on your humanity. ," she continues.
I look at Rebekah. Her words replay in my head over and over
'My brother loves you.'
"Well you know what Rebekah. I was in love. I was in love with Tyler, you remember him don't you, you screwed his best friend. So yeah, I switched it off and yeah, I'm meaner now but you know what I don't care. You know why, Rebekah? Because when you care, you only get let down. People disappoint," I say.
Now it's Rebekah's turn to look at me. We have both been hurt. She understands.
"My brother is not some Tyler. Now let's go find him," she says.
I agree, willingly now.
"I haven't told anyone that before," I say after a while.
Rebekah smiles.
"Us girls have to stick together," Rebekah smiles.
At least something good game out of it.
It have been 5 hours later.
We still didn't find Klaus.
We have searched everywhere. Rebekah's getting frustrated and flustered. I think about how I would feel if I ever lost my mum.
