Little Wolf

Season 3 Ep 19-Ep 20

Rebekah gets out of the car and Matt drives away. She stands there for a while, smiling. She enters the house and sees someone standing by the fireplace. Rebekah stops and the person turns around. It's Esther. "Mother..." Rebekah says. Rebekah speeds over to her, grabs her by the throat and pushes her against the wall. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now." Rebekah says. "Because I'm dying ." Esther says.

Klaus and Artemis enter the cell in the Salvatore's basement. "Well, this is depressing, isn't it?" Artemis asks. Stefan gets up. "Oh, and I found this upstairs." Klaus says, showing them a stake. "Now, by my count, there should be one more." Klaus says. "Yeah, well, it's going to take a little more time." Stefan says. "Why, because we're waiting for that one to pass out?" Artemis asks pointing at Alaric. "No, thanks. I think I'll just kill him." Klaus says. "Well, then you won't know the location of the other stake." Stefan says. "I can live with that." Klaus says. He moves forward, but Stefan stops him. "Well, I can't. When we staked Finn, we discovered that killing an original vampire killed its entire bloodline. Now, I don't know which one of you I'm descended from, but I'd really rather not find out by dying, so why don't we just find the stake, destroy it so we can all be safe?" Stefan says. "So the fate of the entire vampire race depends on you finding the stake and to get it, we need you to pass out. Which means that I feel totally justified doing this." Klaus says. He speeds towards Alaric and breaks his neck, Alaric falls dead on the ground. "There, sleeping like a baby." Klaus says.

"How are you dying? I thought Ayana had preserved your body with a spell." Rebekah says. "She did. I'm drawing my power from the Bennett witch line. When Abby died, the connection was severed. So my body is weakened." Esther says. "Well, if you've come to spend your last moments with your loving daughter, prepare to be disappointed. You should have spent last time plotting my death." Rebekah says. "Is that what you think I've been doing on the other side? I've been looking over you for a thousand years of joy and heartbreak. Your fights with Klaus, the nights you cried yourself to sleep calling out my name. Not a day has gone by that I wasn't right there with you." Esther says. "And yet you still tried to kill me." Rebekah says. "Because it shouldn't have been a thousand years, Rebekah. No one should live that long." Esther says. "But I haven't lived at all." Rebekah says. "I'm sorry, Rebekah. I'm so, so sorry." Esther says. Esther takes Rebekah's hands and starts to shake. She falls to the ground, dead. Rebekah kneels down next to her. Klaus enters the room. "What's going on?" Klaus asks, "She's dead." Rebekah says.
