"You're.. what?" Alexia asks over the phone with Elena. She came to the house to have a talk, only to find out she wasn't here. No, she was visiting Jeremy with Damon. "Why didn't you tell me? I would've come!"

"I don't know, okay!" Elena replies before hanging up.

Alexia looks at her phone before sighing.

"Aren't you supposed to be at school?" Klaus asks walking in the room with only a towel.

"Skipping. Rebekah changed the decade dance to the '20s. I'm sure Caroline and her are arguing at the moment. And I didn't feel like it. Or.. I may just wanted to avoid Caroline and Matt," she shrugs.

"If you're not feeling okay, then you stay. I love you."

"I love you too, Nikki."

He dramatically gasps, "Nikki?"

"You like it?" She asks him playfully.

"Only if it comes out of your lips."

"So cute!"

"Ginny!"

"Esther," Alexia gasps seeing the witch in the living room.

"Hello, Alexia. We never had the time to ta—"

She cuts her off, "yes. Because you tried to kill your children!"

"They have to die."

"Oh, please, shut up. You're making me a migraine."

Esther sends her a glare as Rebekah walks in.

She looks at her mother with wide eyes, "mother.." she speeds to her tackling her to the wall, her hand on her mother's neck.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now," Rebekah tells her coldly.

"Because I'm dying."

Alexia looks at her with a raised eyebrow, trying not to smile.

"How are you dying?" Rebekah asks her. "I thought Ayana preserved your body with a spell."

"She did," Esther begins. "I'm drawing my power from the Bennett witch line. When Abby died, the connection was severed. So my body has weakened."

"Poor baby," Alexia mumbles under her breath.

"If you've come to spend your last moments with your loving daughter, prepare to be disappointed." Rebekah tells her mother who looks down. "You should have spent less time plotting my death."

"Is that what you think I've been doing on the other side?" Esther asks her. "I've been looking over you for a thousand years of joy and heartbreak. Your fights with Klaus. The nights you'd cried yourself to sleep calling out my name. Not a day has gone by that I wasn't right there with you."
