HEARING THE news that Rebekah's mother was the original witch caused Kristina to follows after Rebekah like a lost puppy. She was intrigued to say the least, and she was closer to finding out the answers she needed about Kahianna.
"Where do they keep their best vintage?" Rebekah asked going off topic once again as they re entered the living room.
"But if your mother was a witch, then-" Elena started with an arched brow.
"Am I? No." She answered without hesitation "A witch is nature's servant. A vampire is an abomination of nature. You can either be one or the other, never both. My mother did this for us. She did not turn."
Kristina frowned "How did you turn?"
"She called upon the sun for life and the ancient white oak tree, one of nature's eternal objects, for immortality." Rebekah explained as she stared into the fireplace almost as if she remembered it like it was yesterday "That night, my father offered us wine laced with blood. And then he drove his sword through our hearts."
"He killed you." Kristina whispered in disbelief.
Rebekah spun around on her heels with a small tear in her eyes "And he wasn't delicate about it either." She said before snapping the neck of the bourbon bottle and throwing it in the fire. We had to drink more blood to complete the ritual. It was euphoric. The feeling of power was indescribable. But the Ayana was right about the consequences. The spirits turned on us, and nature fought back. For every strength, there would be a weakness."
Her expression faltered "The sun became our enemy. It kept us indoors for weeks. And then my mother found a solution. There were other problems. Neighbours who had opened their homes to us could now keep us out. Flowers at the base of the white oak burned and prevented compulsion. And the spell decreed that the tree that gave us life could also take it away. So we burned it to the ground."
"The darkest consequence was something my parents never anticipated...The hunger. Blood had made us reborn, and it was blood that we craved above all else. We could not control it. And with that... The predatory species was born."
"So why did Mikael start hunting Klaus?" Elena asked with more curiosity after hearing her story.
"When Nik made his first human kill, it triggered his werewolf gene." Rebekah explained as her eyes went wide to this news. "With that he became my fathers greatest shame."
"Elijah mentioned your mother had, had an affair with one of the werewolf villagers. Klaus wasn't his son." Elena explained in attempt to remember everything.
