Falling (Completed)

Twenty Five: Alliances

Rebekah's POV

I was glad that Malia liked the house. I was willing to look at more but I was secretly hoping that Malia would pick the one that she did. I pulled into the driveway of the Salvatore's house and looked over at Malia. She was peacefully sleeping and I couldn't help but smile at my beautiful girlfriend. I liked it when she was like this, peaceful and content; softly snoring with her lips slightly parted. It was honestly like watching an angel sleep. Completely mesmerizing, so much that you never truly wanted to stop looking. I sighed lightly, knowing I'd have to get out of the car and carry Malia upstairs. I decided not to wait anymore and got out of the car and quickly went to Malia's side and picked her up. I shut her door and held her close to me. I carried her inside and up to our room to see Stefan sitting on the sofa. "I need to talk to you, set Mal down. It's urgent."

I furrowed my brows together and did as Stefan said. I laid Malia down and earned soft whimpers. I frowned, I'll have to hurry back before she wakes. I went downstairs to see Stefan pacing back and forth. This really was making me anxious. "Stefan, what is it?"

Stefan looked up at me, frowning. "Rosalie and Emmett are on their way. Seth's decided to take action to 'claim what is rightfully his.'"

I growled lowly. "Why can't we be in peace? First my brother and now this."

Stefan frowned. "I'm sorry, I don't know why he's coming but we'll make sure she doesn't see him while she has to deal with Klaus."

I frowned but nodded my head. "Thank you, Stefan."

I raced upstairs and grabbed my cell phone and dialed Kol's number. Luckily, he picked up on the second ring. "Baby sister."

I swallowed hard. "We have a problem. Meet me at the house, this involves all of us." With that, I hung up and gave Malia a kiss on the forehead. I walked out of the house and drove to my old family home. I sighed as I heard a baby's laughter. I knew me being here would tear Malia apart but I have to keep her safe, no matter the cost. I was just reaching the door as Elijah stood in the door frame. 

"Sister, what's wrong?" Elijah looked genuinely worried and I knew when it came to Malia he would be helpful in protecting her. 

I looked behind Elijah to see Niklaus walking up with a baby in his arms. I looked back at Elijah. "It's about Malia."

Elijah let me in with much protest from Niklaus, of course. Elijah led me into the living room, Klaus promising to meet up with us after he gives Hayley their daughter. I tapped my foot impatiently as I heard my phone go off. I quickly pulled my phone out of my back pocket and saw it was Malia: where are you? 

I quickly responded: running an errand, be back soon. I put my phone back in my pocket as I heard footsteps approaching us. I swallowed hard and stood up as I saw Niklaus approaching us. "Sister, why have you come?"

"It's Malia, she's in danger." 

Klaus frowned and crossed his arms. "Explain everything."

I looked down to the ground and back up at Klaus. "I'm in love with her, brother. I really am. I want nothing but to keep her safe but with the danger that is coming, I need help protecting her. Her 'mate', Seth is coming for her and I am to believe that he won't come alone. I'm sure his pack will come along. Rosalie and Emmett are on their way to the Salvatore's house now. I'm scared, Nik. I'm scared of losing her."

Niklaus walked over to me and hugged me tightly. "Even though you both ran away before I could explain any of this to you, you're still family and we protect family." 

I hugged Niklaus back and sighed heavily. "I can't lose her, Nik. I just can't."

Klaus kissed the top of my head. "I have found happiness and peace within me after my little Hope was born. It's a love that I have never felt before, sister. I want you happy, too. Even if that means you and Malia are together."

I looked up at Klaus, shocked. "You mean it?"

Klaus looked down at me and smiled. "Of course I mean it, although we will not be staying in Mystic Falls for long."

I looked down again. "Malia and I bought a house down here. We'll come to see you on the weekends though! I just think it's good for Malia to be around her friends and brothers."

Klaus scuffed. "So you are leaving your family?"

I looked up at him. "We aren't even allowed in New Orleans, Nik. Where do you plan to go? There is no place better to raise Hope."

Klaus looked towards Elijah who was shockingly quiet. "Brother, what do you think?"

Elijah stuffed one of his hands in his pocket and looked towards me. "I saw that we protect Rebekah and Malia for however long they need, we can't go back to New Orleans yet anyways. But, while we stay here, we will be staying with Malia and Rebekah."

I pouted. "Why?"

Elijah sighed. "To keep you safe around the clock, we don't know when Seth will be here, let alone his tactics. He may have his pack with him and you can't take them down alone, Rebekah. We'll let Hayley and Hope stay here. There is no danger for them, so we will keep them as far away from the trouble as we can."

Klaus opened his mouth to protest the plan but I cut him off. "Okay, that can happen. Just make sure to give me and Malia our space for the first little while, she's still fragile and hurting fr-"

"Malia is hurting? What happened?"

I looked over to see Kol standing there, arms across his chest. I sighed heavily. "I mean she is hurting from the situation with Hayley and Klaus. Nik, fill him in. I have to get back to Malia. Rosalie and Emmett should be there soon and I want to be there for her when they arrive."

Klaus nodded his head and patted his brother on the shoulder, taking him for a walk. I kissed Elijah's cheek, thanking him and then I made my way to my car. I sighed and started driving back to the Salvatore house. I gripped the steering wheel when I saw an unfamiliar car in the driveway. The driver and passenger were still inside. I got out quickly and walked up to the car. The driver rolled the window down, causing me to grow when I saw who was inside.
