“Well, that pains me to hear you feel that way.” This was the lack of humanity speaking, but the words stung Rebekah nonetheless. She made no outward inkling of the hurt. “You and I both know why I couldn’t be around and Freya could. Phone calls had to suffice for me. I wish it could’ve been different.”

Something between a scoff and a laugh emitted by way of Hope’s threat. “I often see so much Hayley in you, but you really are your father’s daughter from time to time.” Stepping forward, she put a hand on the tribrid’s arm, senses heightened in case her niece really did try and make a nasty move.

“Listen, I know you’re old enough to make your own decisions, and I know that I’m not Freya or your parents,” said the Original, “but I am asking you to let me help you. I understand being lost and unhappy and wanting to run far away from your family.”

               “  does  it?  ”  rebekah’s  admission  feels  like  a  small  victory.  to  know  that  she’s  nestling  deep  within  her  psyche,  unraveling  her  resolve  from  within.  “  and  here  come  the  excuses.  sorry  hope,  i  couldn’t  make  time  for  you  because  i  was  too  busy  with  my  boyfriend.  and  they  say  blood  is  thicker  than  water.  what  a  joke.  ”  the  words  are  delivered  with  ice,  a  venom  so  unlike  hope  that  it  feels  freeing  to  just  admit  what  needs  to  be  said.  the  chains  of  humanity  were  finally  broken.

              “  you’re  right  about  one  thing.  i  am  my  father’s  daughter.  i’m  my  mother’s  daughter  too.  but  they’re  both  dead  so  i  guess  it  doesn’t  really  matter  anymore.  what  i  do  know  is  that  i’d  like  you  to  remove  your  hand  from  my  arm  unless  you  want  to  lose  it.  ”  another  flash  of  a  dark  smirk,  brows  raising  in  challenge  to  her  aunt.  do  it,  i  dare  you.

              “  can’t  you  see  it?  i’m  free.  i  don’t  need  anyone’s  help,  especially  not  yours.  it’s  funny  because  i  feel  nothing.  absolutely  nothing  and  that  is  a  weight  from  my  shoulders.  love,  lose,  you  know  the  drill.  family  only  made  me  weak,  made  me  vulnerable.  there’s  no  strength  in  family.  i  can  look  after  myself  without  the  weight  of  responsibility  that  you  all  thought  would  be  fine  to  throw  on  a  child.  hope  mikaelson,  i  only  have  my  name  because  uncle  elijah  wanted  to  burden  me  with  being  your  redemption.  to  make  up  for  one  thousand  years  of  sin,  blah  blah.  i’m  not  your  redemption,  or  his,  or  any  of  your  redemption.  i’m  your  worst  nightmare.  ”

* QUOTES ABOUT DEATH PROMPTS ,

i'm not afraid of death; i just don't want to be there when it happens.

i'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way i want to.

don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life.

what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?

someone who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

i don't want to die without any scars.

death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities.

i had been dead for billions and billions of years before i was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

even death has a heart.

death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.

paris is the only city in the world where starving to death is still considered an art.

it is a curious thing, the death of a loved one.

no one really knows why they are alive until they know what they'd die for.

everybody is going to be dead one day, just give them time.

we all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up.

delaying death is one of my favourite hobbies

life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all.

we're born, we live a little while, we die.

the first time you meet someone special, you can count on them one day being dead and in the ground.

i was always holding onto people, and they were always leaving.

life is pleasant, death is peaceful: it's the transition that's troublesome.

if there are no dogs in heaven, then when i die i want to go where they went.

we are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones.

a thing is not necessarily true because someone dies for it.

i do not fear death.

when i look at my life and its secret colours, i feel like bursting into tears.

don't feel bad, i'm usually about to die.

they died that day because their body had served its purpose.

many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life.

why do people want to pretend that death is sleep? it isn't.

no one here gets out alive.

promise to give me a kiss on my brow when i am dead, i shall feel it.

the dead can survive as part of the lives of those that still live.

one lives in the hope of becoming a memory.

when he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.

kill me, if you’ve ever been my friend, kill me.

to me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal.

i like grit, i like love and death, i'm tired of irony.

how shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?

fear not death for the sooner we die, the longer we shall be immortal.

love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

if by my life or death i can protect you, i will.

i know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow.

much of what was said did not matter, and that much of what mattered could not be said.

people living deeply have no fear of death.

if you live each day as it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right

we who think we are about to die will laugh at anything.

belief is the death of intelligence.

what could i become if i stopped worrying about death, about pain, about anything?

you never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone.

if i die, i will wait for you.

if you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them?

grief can destroy you, or it can focus you.

death is a strange thing.

cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

older men declare war, but it is youth that must fight and die.

i could die for you, but i couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.

whoever said that loss gets easier with time was a liar.

personally, i'm trying to avoid lots of death, but you guys have fun!

the funny thing about facing imminent death is that it really snaps everything else into perspective.

the truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.

yeah, all things live forever, though at times they sleep and are forgotten.

it is not death that you should fear, but you should fear never beginning to live.

you can not die of grief, though it feels as if you can.

people leave strange little memories of themselves behind when they die.

death is a stripping away of all that is not you.

we may not get to choose how we die, but we can chose how we live.

it doesn't make a damned bit of difference who wins the war to someone who's dead.

enjoy life, there's plenty of time to be dead.

death is the only god who comes when you call.

to live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how i would like to live.

"i'm not sorry."

"i don't know how you do this every day..."

"what did you wish for?"

"none of this would’ve happened if you had just listened to me!"

"don't run away from this."

"you wanna know what your problem is?"

"so why's it so important anyway?"

"i'm not here to talk about my feelings."

"close your eyes and hold out your hands."

"jealous? i'm not jealous!"

"this place is cursed... i can feel it."

"you need to stay still."

"dangerous to be out so late."

"don't make me go by myself."

"i can't leave you alone for one minute, can i?"

"we're wasting time."

"you... don't like me very much, do you?"

"i would never lie to you."

"give me one good reason why i should believe you."

"i'm not sure what i'm supposed to feel."

"you're about as intimidating as a butterfly."

"no more lies, no more secrets."

"do you wanna get out of here?"

"what did they do to you?"

"i don't go away if you ignore me."

"you don't know when to give up, do you?"

"i can't help you unless you talk to me."

"what was that for?"

"you can't just come into my life and go right out of it. i won't let you."

"think of it as a compliment."

"did you want to be alone?"

"who did you piss off this time?"

"you'll be no help to anyone if you run yourself into the ground."

"stop trying to figure everything out. just focus on now."

"are you saying you care about me?"

"i did what i had to do."

"what? no witty remark? nothing clever to say?"

"i don't think we're supposed to be in here."

"they have us surrounded!"

"i've come for you."

"promise me?"

"why are you looking at me like that?"

"you'll always have a home with me."

"i never meant to hurt you."

"i believe you."

"let me see that."

"you can relax. we're safe here."

"you have to go somewhere safe."

"we've been through a lot. i think we should just lay low and take it easy."

"when was the last time you ate something?"

"we have to leave, now!"

"i need your help... and you need mine."

"i wasn't flirting, i was being friendly."

"change isn't easy."

"there has to be another way."

"i don't care what they say about me."

"you've lost a lot of blood."

"you don't give a shit about me."

"you want me? here i am."

"i never wanted to hurt you."

"it's very rude to stare."

"i don't often get the chance to talk to someone like you."

"if you have something to say, spit it out."

"when was the last time you slept?"

"i can't do this without you."

"you're such a fucking coward."

"i'm not drunk enough for this."

"i hope you haven't been standing out in the cold this whole time."

"i wish i could hate you."

"why are you still here?"

"you're hot when you're angry."

"are you going to kill me?"

"i don't have a plan, but we'll figure it out."

"we can stop them. i can help you."

"i don't feel so good."

"promise me you won't overreact."

"is... that my shirt you're wearing?"

"you look like you need a hug."

"what do these symbols mean?"

"you can't decide what's best for someone else."

"i guess i should've told you."

* QUOTES ABOUT LIFE LESSONS PROMPTS ,

when you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in, that’s what this storm’s all about.

believe in yourself, you are braver than you think.

what could be worse than getting to the end of your life and realizing you hadn't lived it?

i discovered life sometimes has a way of giving you what you need, but not in the form you expect.

people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

no matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.

listen to your instincts and ignore everything else; ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it.

don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind, be led by the dreams in your heart.

we've got everything we need right here, and everything we need is enough.

only the dead have seen the end of war.

instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.

sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand.

happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.

pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped.

the trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people spend it for you.

hiding how you really feel and trying to make everyone happy doesn't make you nice, it just makes you a liar.

sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most.

we cannot change anything if we cannot change our thinking.

if there's a single lesson that life teaches us, it's that wishing doesn't make it so.

the greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.

just like there's always time for pain, there's always time for healing.

you don’t have to like someone, but you have to treat them as you wish to be treated.

i've learned, that being kind is more important than being right.

you cannot control what happens to you, but you can control the way you think about all the events.

be wise today so you don't cry tomorrow.

people always suddenly miss you more once they see how much happier you are without them.

the moment you put someone on a pedestal they will look down upon you.

dignity will only happen when you realize that having someone in your life doesn’t validate your worth.

i learned long ago that loss is not only probable, but inevitable.

discipline yourself and others won't need to.

all your miseries will be forgiven when you will be dead.

you think you know someone, but mostly you just know what you want to know.

some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost.

nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone have a good fucking life.

it takes guts and humility to admit mistakes, admitting we're wrong is courage, not weakness.

i discovered that being related is no guarantee of love.

letting go of your dark past is the best choice you will ever make.

forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again—forgiving changes the perspectives, forgetting loses the lesson.

so it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.

you take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are.

when you deny someone an apology, you will remember it at time you beg forgiveness.

if you want to grow, you need to be brave and take risks.

never respond to an angry person with a fiery comeback, even if they deserve it, don't allow his anger to become your anger.

there is nothing like a crisis to define who you are.

it is difficult to make the right choice if you fear choosing wrongly.

certain things in life simply have to be experienced and never explained.

forgiving doesn't make the person who hurt you feel better, it makes you feel better.

we can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb over them, or build with them.

you're always going to know more in the future than you know now.

i don't care what you say to me, i care what you share with me.

you can't have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail.

once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.

you've heard what i've done, but not what i've been through.

if you love deeply, you're going to get hurt badly, but it's still worth it.

life gives you lots of chances to screw up which means you have just as many chances to get it right.

in gambling, if you see somebody winning all the time, they aren't gambling, they're cheating.

you can’t save anyone who wouldn’t save themselves without you.

i realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed.

if you don't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim.

make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past.

sometimes you have to lose all you have to find out who you truly are.

people tend to complicate their own lives, as if living weren't already complicated enough.

we have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter.

you are never alone.

there is no teacher more discriminating or transforming than loss.

sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn't what you get for it, but what you become for it.

you cannot control the behaviour of others, but you can always choose how you respond to it.

the only way that we can change is if we learn.

if you aren’t grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more.

FAVORITE CHARACTER MEME: [½] colors  — hope mikaelson + red

[lahbonair]

sheresists​.

@lahbonair​​  willed comfort for hope to place her hand atop rey’s to comfort her.    ✧

a flurry of emotions flicker across her face at the gesture,  features smoothing with some surprise at what feels so undeserved   –––   yet something akin to relief,  too,  something like appreciation in spite of herself.     “  thank you,  ”     is her own belated acknowledgement,  and for several long moments,  it seems that may be all   –––   but rey soon thinks better of monopolizing the time of someone as capable as hope,  and one who,  at least by rey’s estimation,  easily has power enough to eclipse skywalker himself and save not just the resistance,  but surely the entire galaxy as well.     “  i’m sure you have more important things to be doing than this,  so  .  .  .  ”

               “   you  don’t  need  to  thank  me,  rey.  ”  it’s  a  simple  admission  as  she  gently  squeezes  her  hand  a  little  tighter.  with  everything  going  on  in  the  universe,  with  both  the  resistance  and  first  order,  hope  can’t  help  but  find  herself  to  be  exhausted.  it’s  a  hard  fight  and  sometimes  even  the  shortest  of  breaks  are  something  akin  to  a  breath  of  fresh  air.  “  no,  actually  i  don’t.  the  most  important  thing  to  me  right  now  is  making  sure  that  you’re  okay.  ”

WHAT TRAGIC CHARACTER FROM GREEK LITERATURE ARE YOU?  

patroclus.

you are patroclus, from the iliad by homer, doomed by fate to be stuck in a love story that has no place on the battlefield. although you always have the best intentions, you have to realize you cannot save everyone. your unwavering loyalty means you often lose yourself in the process of putting others first. take a deep breath, remember who you are, and that you are deserving of the same love you try to put out. you are kind, you are strong, and you give and you give but it is never enough to protect those you love. in the end, it's not even enough to protect yourself.
