Rebekah Mikaelson Imagines

Lovers, three

"You know Theo is in a mood." Rebekah called as she found you cloistered away, reading. She walked down the corridor with confident strides as she came to a stop next to the window seat you'd curled up on. You looked away from your book and slowly, up at her and frowned. "He thinks you're avoiding him because of the full moon tonight."

"I just want to finish my book." You muttered as she sat down next to you. Before you could object your book was out of your hands. She hummed as she lay her head in your lap.

"I think he's onto something."

"You can both ask me how I feel about my first full moon but I'm fine. You're the ones freaking out about it." You objected. She was on her feet in a flash as she smiled at you.

"I think you're objecting too much. Now will you come with me to cheer up Theo because he's getting annoying. He keeps moping about."

"Fine. But I want my book back." You complained. Rebekah chuckled as she held it out of reach, using her speed to zip around you each time you almost snatch it. She laughed, kissing you before vanishing off ahead.

With a sigh you followed the way she'd vanished and mulled over what would happen tonight. It wasn't as if you hadn't seen werewolves shifting before. You were dating Rebekah Mikaelson and Theo Raeken. Werewolves came as a package deal.

You'd spoken to Hayley about it, Freya too and they'd promised to help you. If you asked Rebekah or Theo they would definitely worry about you. Theo wanted to be with you, so you could both shift together. Rebekah wanted to clear the woods of anything dangerous. To which Klaus pointed out they would be better off shutting you in your bedroom if that was the case.

They both wanted to make a big fuss over it. You'd rather get it over with like it was any other day. You couldn't help but wonder what happened when Hayley and Rebekah found the wolf that had attacked you. Most of the day was spent promising to both Rebekah and Theo that you were fine. Theo would go over point, how to shift and Rebekah would tell you where in the woods to avoid. Where to go if you needed her.

When Hayley lurked in the doorway you excused yourself. "Freya has things ready." She said with a glance at Rebekah who was pretending that she and Theo hadn't heard anything.

"Thanks." you said with a shy smile.

When it started to get dark you hugged Rebekah, telling her you'd see her tomorrow. You knew she was only agreeing to stay inside for the moment because once you shifted you couldn't do much to stop her from following you around. Freya managed to shake Theo loose and though you could feel them both lurking near you in the woods. They seemed to understand that your first shift wasn't what you wanted to share with them.

"It'll hurt?" You asked Hayley who nodded.

"Try not to fight it too much. Relax, no matter how much it hurts. Hope and Klaus are already out there." She gave you a hug, taking your clothes as you hugged yourself.

"Drink this." Freya said as she held a bottle to your lips, tipping it so you could gulp it down. The change came quickly. Trying to follow Hayley's instructions you relaxed, feeling bones creak and crack.

All your senses seemed to explode into life and you realised you were rushing through the woods, Theo running alongside you, Hayley loping behind. Rebekah ran slowly further ahead, stopping when Hope and Klaus came into view. You spent your first full moon running until your body ached. It was at sun up you shifted back. Theo did the same and Rebekah smiled at you as she emerged from the trees with a blanket and some clothes.

"That went well." Theo said with a grin.

"I did." You mumbled quietly as they hugged you.
