Then

"Antonia, let me handle the blade now." I sighed at my brothers words, again. He was such a worry though he should not be.

"Brother, you let Rebekah carve her name, why can't I?" I had just finished carving the 'i' before turning to Niklaus, and raising my eyebrows at him. He challenged my stare but I held my place before turning and beginning on the last letter of my name.

"You should not listen to our sister too much, she is an over achiever." I let out a huff of laughter, "incorrect Brother, you are the over achiever," I finished the letter and looked at my the final work, "our sister is high maintenance." I heard a laugh from behind me and looked at Niklaus in confusion as he then held out his hand, I saw a small cut on his palm and smiled before slamming the blade flush onto it, smiling at the wince he produced, "Rebekah?" I asked as he sighed at me and nodded his head.

"You should go help her and Mother with dinner, I'll finish here." I nodded my head and turned to look at the wall, "you should put Mother and Fathers names on there." I spoke before I climbed my way out of the cave network, out into the fresh air. While making my way home I smiled at my neighbours getting hello's, smiles, waves in return. I knew Father wasn't the nicest to Nik and Mother could be harsh but their actions were produced out of love, or that's what I've drilled myself to believe.

Now

Looking up at the off white exterior I sighed in content, it was a place I feel like I would grow to love, it was a pipe dream coming true. Each brick, engravement and carve of stone was prefect, the rich and large garden and long gated driveway was to my liking. It looked like the home I had hoped it would become.

I opened the door to my large estate house I had recently bought and walked in, I had designers in ahead of time so the house was ready for me to move in to. I dumped my bags on the decor table and my suitcases by the door so that I could walk further into the foyer before looking left to an office and right to a dinning area. I stood at the bottom of the stairs so that I could look up them before deciding to walk further into the house and settle in the the living area first before unpacking.

I hadn't lived alone for a while but I felt as though I needed a fresh start, my brother was driving me insane. I chuckled when I felt my phone vibrate, "hello Elijah." I laughed into the phone when I accepted the call, talk about 'speak of the devil'.

"Did you get there safe?" He questioned from the other end, "yes brother, I am not sure how long I will be here for but I will keep in touch. As should you, I want to know if you have any successes or problems with our plan." I heard him let out a hum on the other end of the call, I had decided that I needed some time away from my brother and the endless plan to kill Niklaus, it had been decades.
