Hello my loves,

This is the 4th installment on this series. I keep getting feelings from this that makes me want to tell it from different angles. This one I'll admit it caught me by surprise. I just wrote without thinking. It's told from Rebekah's point of view. She tells you their story as she sees it.

I hated her from day one

Because

I saw it from the first moment

The way he looked at her

A fleeting look it seemed

Yet

His eyes widened

As if in recognition

Before they moved on

But

He took in everything

The bounce of her hair

Her skin

Her expressive eyes

And

I saw it all too

She wasn't resigned

Loyalty

Even in the face of futility

She fought for what was hers

Who

Was but an experiment to me

To Nik he was a promise

Everything depended on the dog's life

The last 1000 years

With so much

On his way to the finish line

As he was about to cross

Still

Nik still found time to look.

The looking was not important

The girl's beautiful

It used to injure my soul to admit it

Though I deemed her insignificant

Like the others

He would too

Take what he wanted

Continue without a hitch

He made no moves

That was the tell-tell

My brother had never known restrain

He would have grabbed her

Seduced her

Eat her

Discard her

Maybe kill her

That was his way

Despite her protest she would cave

Like many before her

He would have ended up in her tight jeans

My brother is a savage
