Twisted Bonds

Chapter 49: Rebekah

Emma's POV

"Hey, it doesn't matter, I'm doing okay now." I said, trying to calm the Original vampire down.

"It does matter. Emma, what happened over the summer?" he asked.

"Right after you left, Katherine told Elena that I had a soulmate bond with you and Klaus. Elena and the rest of them turned on me after that." I told him. "I became clinically depressed, and, well, you can clearly see the effect it had on me. Jenna was the only one who gave a damn about me."

"That's more than just a 'rough summer', Emma." Elijah said.

"I know. I just thought that I wasn't worth anyone's time, but I see now that I wasn't thinking clearly. Sorry to worry you, Elijah." I apologize.

He pulled me into another hug. "You have nothing to feel sorry for, Emma. If I would've known this would happen, I wouldn't have left. That, or I would've taken you with us." Elijah said.

Once we separated, I had to ask him the question that had been burning inside of me all summer. "So, is it true? Am I Klaus' soulmate, too? I did feel tingles when he grabbed my arm one time, but I could have imagined it."

Elijah sighed. "It's true. You're his soulmate as well." he confirmed.

"Is that even possible? Having two soulmates?" I asked.

"I've never personally heard of such a case, but apparently Klaus has. He heard of a case like that a couple hundred years ago. But that was the only time something like that had ever happened as far as we know." Elijah informed.

"Are you okay with it? Not having me all to yourself?" I asked.

"Well, I'm not excited about it, but as long as you're happy, I'll learn how to share with my brother." Elijah said.

I nodded. Silence fell over us for a moment. I wanted to ask something, but was afraid to. I didn't want to sour his mood any more than I already have.

In the end, I decided to ask. "So, did Klaus stay true to his word? Did he reunite you with your family?" I hesitantly asked.

"He did, and I wanted to immediately wake them, but Klaus stopped me. He knows that our father is still out there." Elijah said.

"Your father?" I asked.

"Yes. Since Klaus is not his real son, he wanted Klaus dead. He's been hunting him for years. He has a weapon that could end an Original's life, permanently." Elijah told me. My eyes widened. "Klaus wants Mikael dead. So, he wanted my help in creating hybrids. Hybrids are stronger than any vampire or werewolf. So, he thinks that if he has an army of hybrids on his side, that he'll have no trouble at all in killing Mikael." Elijah informed.

"So, how was that going? Did you guys find any werewolves?" I questioned.

"We did, but for some reason, his attempt at making hybrids failed. They all died shortly after they turned. Neither of us have any idea why. We sought out a witch that we thought could help us. But, she mysteriously left right when we thought we were getting close to an answer." Elijah said. "Shortly after the witch disappeared, Stefan started acting weird. Rebekah confirmed that he was hiding something big from us. So, we're back in town to see if we can find out what it is."

"Who's Rebekah?" I asked.

"My little sister." Elijah told me.

"Klaus woke up your sister?" I asked.

"Yes. We thought she had something that could help us contact the Original witch that made the curse. But, it turned out she lost it the night Klaus daggered her." Elijah said.
