Chasing An Outcome

Chapter 11: Father to a Daughter

Rebekah had never been astounded to such a level like she was now. Hayley had begun to summarize what happened during her sleep. Besides the sound of Freya chanting a spell the room had been quiet.

Jackson was dead.

Cami was dead.

Lucien (the bloody stable boy) had become more powerful than her entire family combined. He'd killed Cami and her brother Finn, whom turned out wasn't as awful as initially thought. Apparently Lucien was on a mission to kill her entire family. He was even backed by some dead witches now. He'd managed to even run her family into hiding!

And Davina... Davina had been on the brink of being sacrificed by Freya in order to save her, Hayley, and Klaus. It turned out it had been a decision both Freya and Elijah had taken. The poor girl. She must've been so terrified in that instant. It turns out her father, her birth father, had been the one who rescued her; and it was Vincent whom brought her back.

Marcel had been there though. He'd seen all of it and was powerless then, to stop them. Now he was exactly what Lucien had become.

And he despised them.

"He wants nothing to do with us anymore. I'm sorry Rebekah... but there's no changing his decision."

Someone must have been squeezing her heart as she recalled Hayley's words. Marcel had been the one to cause the disarray in their home. He'd stormed in and would have eradicated all of them if it weren't for Davina. Despite having every right to want them dead she did not allow Marcel to kill them. Which he easily could have due to an incurable venom in his bite.

But there was no escaping reality. Marcel hated them, hated her. It was too much to bear! Her legs felt like they would crumble. She'd rather spend an eternity in that agonizing slumber, ignorant to everything, then be a part of this reality.

Kol was no different. She cast a look at him to see he had his back to them, almost a cruel metaphor of their relationship now. He too wanted nothing to do with 'this' family as he defined them; it wasn't even 'our' family anymore. Kol had even attacked them prior to Marcel's arrival. Although Kol didn't blame Klaus or Hayley he still wanted nothing to do with them.

"There's a war going on in the ancestral plane as we speak," Klaus said. "On the other side is Lucien along with his age old witches. Currently Marcellus, Vincent, Davina, and her father, Nathan, are also on the other side, fighting to end it all."

How could so much have happened? How could things have escalated like this?

Now Davina, Vincent, Marcel, and Nathan, were on a battleground trying to make things right. And with the way Lucien was now only Marcel was strong enough to take him. Meanwhile they were to sit here helplessly.

Of course that wouldn't stop Kol.

Because he was in love with Davina.

Didn't Freya and Elijah see that? How could they think she'd be living happily ever after knowing she'd robbed Davina of her life? It was the young witch who had resurrected Kol, not them, not this family. This family was too busy worrying about insignificant things such as prophecies and taking over the city.

This family should have killed Lucien the minute they met him, the way Kol had suggested. This family should have protected Cami and Jackson. This family should have never allowed things to reach such a point where sacrificing someone was a necessity.

Her hands tightened into fists.

"Rebekah."

It was Elijah.
