Cleo-Hayley- shoved her phone into the pocket of her cardigan after updating Kim, her sister, on her search for Emma. She didn't tell her family she was pregnant, she especially wasn't going to tell them it was with the Original Hybrid's baby. She hadn't even spoken to him in two days and she didn't want to approach him after watching him dagger Elijah.
Hayley walked downstairs, hearing Klaus arguing with someone. When she reached the bottom of the stairs she saw Klaus and a blonde who she assumed was his sister.
"Ah, Hayley. This is my little sister Re-" Klaus started, motioning to his sister who had turned around.
"Emma?" She cut him off, staring at Rebekah with wide eyes.
"Cleo?" Rebekah countered as she took a step forward.
Hayley stepped back, faltering when she saw the look on Emma-Rebekah's- face. "No, no, no..." Hayley looked between the blondes with wide eyes, hearing heabeat getting faster. She had been looking for Emma for over a year, and it turned out she was actually an original vampire. She was not okay.
"Rebekah?" Klaus asked quietly. "What's happening?"
"Nothing, Nik." Rebekah gave him a smile they all knew was forced. "Go meet Marcel, I'll stay here with Hayley."
"Alright," he nodded after a few moments before heading towards the door. He could tell that Rebekah knew the wolf and they obviously needed to talk. "Welcome home, little sister."
A few minutes after Klaus left, she spoke, dropping the American accent. "What the hell?"
"It's great to see you too, Cleo." Rebekah, Emma, grumbled.
Ignoring every negative feeling, Hayley pulled her into a hug, smiling when she was instantly squeezed back. They stayed in the hug for another ten minutes before they finally moved to a couch.
"I suppose you want to know how Im Rebekah Mikaelson and Emma Gilbert?" Rebekah said, continuing when Hayley nodded. "Well, when I was daggers I was able to get into the mind of the person who was transporting the coffins and got him to realize me for small amounts of time. It wasn't really compulsion, so it didn't matter if he was on vervain or not. Eventually, I was able to escape. The man would contact me if Nik was ever going to open my coffin. When I left, I went as far away from Nik as possible and I ended up in Australia. When I got there, I compelled a couple who were thinking about having another kid anyway, the Gilbert's, to think I was their daughter. They picked my name, Emma, and I fit in the family as Elliot's older sister. I enjoyed being a big sister again..." Rebekah tailed off.
"I had a witch basically mass compel the town that I had been a part of the family the whole time. We became friends, then we met Rikki. When I had a tail after the moon poll incident, I was surprised. I'm an original, that magic shouldn't have worked. It meant that I had magic, and you can't have magic and be a vampire, so I decided to look into it. I got in contact with my, would you call it now, godmother? Anyway, I talked to Ayana and her theory was that while we didn't keep our magic after turning, nothing was said about magic on top of our immortality. After two years, I got a call from the man who was watching the coffins saying that Nik was about to open mine but he got a call. I compelled the Gilberts to tell everyone I was going to visit relatives in America when in reality, I was going back in my coffin with a dagger in my chest. I'm a hybrid now, just not like Nik, I'm a vampire/mermaid hybrid."
