Neverending

Chapter 11

"You know how I feel about the daggers Nik! I understand you're angry but you can't just dagger Rebekah!" she said, rubbing her head in exasperation.

"I gave Marcellus a choice, undagger her and remain a human or keep Rebekah daggered and turn, he made his choice Love" He said with a shrug, not remorseful in the least for his treatment of his sister.

"What you did was cruel Nik! You know Marcellus has wanted to turn for years, it's the only way he can remain with us and see me again" She said, gritting her teeth as pain hit her from her anger. Her blood was pumping as she dealt with Niklause and his latest dramatics.

"Rebekah needed to be punished, she began a relationship with our son!" Nik yelled, getting angry just at the thought.

She laughed "Marcellus has had a crush on her since he was a boy Nik, you know this as well as the rest of us" She said as she leaned against the nearest chair for support.

She felt woozy "Elskan are you alright?" Elijah asked, worried for her. She was getting up there in years so this bad of an upset could have serious consequences. Elijah glared at Niklaus as he helped her sit down "See what your immaturity has done?" he asked his brother sharply.

"Don't fight, please" She said, the room spinning. "I think I just need some rest" She said, offering a hand to Elijah, asking for assistance without saying anything.

Elijah led her to her bedroom and helped her get into a dressing gown, he lay with her as she fell asleep "Do not worry Elskan, I will take care of Niklaus" Elijah said gently as he ran a hand through her hair. That was the last thing she remembered as her heart slowly stopped beating.

She laughed as she ran through the garden with Stefan, they were racing to see who could reach the house first. "Hurry up Stefan!" She yelled back to her big brother with a grin.

She continued running until she ran into someone, she looked up and saw Damon looking down at her with a grin until he picked her up and spun her around "What are you two doing?" He asked with a smile on his face but something about it made her weary.

"Are you alright Damon?" She asked carefully, glancing into the house to see if thier father was lurking.

She knew her father had called Damon into his office earlier and she wondered why, her mind didn't even consider that their father would send her elder brother to the war front.

"I'm perfectly fine little duckling, now aren't you supposed to be with your governess and not running through the gardens?" He asked pointedly making her blush and squirm from being caught red handed.

"Brother I missed you!" She said as she jumped into Damon's arms, it was different than when she was little but he had been gone for so long in the War. She had worried he would not return so to see him now brought a wave of relief through her.

"I missed you too duckling, look at you! You've grown at least a foot!" Damon exclaimed as he set her back down to her feet.

Stefan joined them and brought thier brother into a hug "She's becoming a young Lady, Fell even asked her to dance at the last ball" he said, giving his older brother a pointed look.

"No, absolutely not. You are not allowed to dance with any boys until you turn seventeen" Damon said, absolutely horrified by the prospect.

Genevieve grimaced "I didn't want to dance with him! Father made me to save face, Howard is annoying and foul mouthed" she told him, not happy about it either.
