Percy was seriously confused. They had been at Rebekah's house and everything was going well until Kol showed up. Initially Kol had seemed fine, but as he continued to interact with his sister, there was a certain cold air about him that did not go unnoticed by Percy, and Rebekah's behavior towards her brother was also unusually cold. She seemed worried- no- frightened to see her brother. The siblings had started out civil enough, but then it seemed like Rebekah hadn't wanted her brother to know where she was. Percy couldn't fathom why that would be, though. What could have happened between them that they would react with such hostility to one another? Then they started talking about that Nik guy, or was his name Klaus. Percy wasn't sure. They both seemed afraid and Kol was clearly accusing Rebekah of something, but Percy had no idea what it was.

I hope I didn't say anything that I wasn't supposed to. Percy thought. The change in both siblings after he had made the connection between Rebekah's phone call and the current conversation was worrying him.

Rebekah internally groaned, knowing that she couldn't feign ignorance anymore after Percy mentioned Nik's phone call. Before Kol could do anything reckless or destructive, Rebekah jumped up, grabbed his arm, and pulled him out of the room and into the hall, "What are you doing here Kol?" She spoke in a hushed voice so no one but her brother would hear her.

"I already told you!" he replied in the same hushed tone. If looks were white oak stakes, Rebekah would be quite dead. Kol was glaring with ever increasing intensity and Rebekah watched him with caution lest he explode. "Nik came after me because you told him I stole the dagger. I barely escaped. He was going to dagger me." Kol suddenly moved and grabbed Rebekah's upper arms, and held her in an iron grip with a threatening look on his normally handsome face.

His sister took a sharp breath and pushed him away. "I only said to ask you. I never said you had it, so you can quit bothering me and my friends, and go back to wherever the hell you've been the past year."

Kol stumbled back, and smirked at his younger sister. "I think I'll stay right where I am for now. After all Nik has no idea where you are. I think I will be quite comfortable right here, or else Nik might need to make a house call to his darling little sister, so he can reunite her with a box."

"You wouldn't!"

"Oh, I would, so for now I'm going to go out and get a drink or two, then I'll come back to my new home with my favorite sister," Kol pushed past Rebekah and walked back into the main room, and through the apartment door without so much as a look at the teens in the other room.

While the siblings were talking in the hall, the others had been trying to listen to their conversation. They didn't hear much, and what they did hear was very confusing, but before anyone had much time to think it over, Kol left, and Rebekah came back into the room.

"Is everything OK?" Chloe asked Rebekah.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Rebekah lied, "now where were we?" They all continued to work on the project, but the laid back energy in the room vanished with Kol.

True to his word, Kol came back to the apartment later that night and moved into one of the two guest rooms. He was standing in the kitchen drinking coffee when Rebekah walked in the next morning.

"Ready for school?" Kol asked her in a mocking tone. Rebekah didn't respond. She just shoved past him, grabbed a blood bag out of the fridge and put it in the microwave. Kol chuckled and rolled his eyes. "So, which one of those boys was your new boyfriend, or was it both?" Once again, Rebekah did not deem his jab to be worthy of response. She was determined not to give Kol the satisfaction. She dumped her now warm blood into a travel mug and left without some much so much as nod to her brother after grabbing her book bag.
