#REBXKAHS : a study in the balance of the lust for life that's been denied and all-consuming death that was forcibly given, seeking love despite the odds, family trauma–and how it shapes you, the duality of the desire to mend what is broken and be freed of what has been damaged, and lastly... being a raging bitch.

After so many years, there was certainly much to be said between Aurora and her sire, not that she expected either of them to have given it much thought over the intervening centuries. Still, Aurora could not help but feel slightly disappointed that her sire was showing such little knowledge of her first progeny. "Darling, you know I prefer to outdo myself. I would not insult you or myself with a downgrade to a lake unless I was going to build you some sort of monument over it." Aurora cast the blonde a sidelong glance before turning and helping herself to a glass of wine. Rebekah, if rumors were correct, was still seeking to be chosen by a man and attempting to prove herself amongst them by selecting bourbon as her drink of choice. Fortunately, a decanter of bourbon was not far from the wine. She poured a glass, and slide it across the table toward Rebekah as she took her own seat. "For what it's worth, I didn't know the stake was cursed. I thought you'd just be taking a little nap." It was true. Still, Aurora did not regret her actions, and, really, even if she had known about the curse, she still would not have done anything differently.

Rebekah's jaw set at the first part of Aurora's slight monologue, and she swallowed. Centuries have proved that when she underestimated her ONLY sireling, destruction followed. A weary breath and sharpened eyes were all that she gave for a moment. It was her curse to be duped by those she CARED for the most–she did care for Aurora, despite the duplicity. Rebekah took great responsibility for damning The Lady to her own personal hell, though she knew the other didn't see it that way. Aurora didn't seem to share in the misery the way she did. She sealed herself.

"How very Nik of you." She spat violently. She was sure she knew of the rumors by now; nothing stayed a secret in their shared circles. Her eyes pricked with the all to familiar threat of leaking. A hard blink didn't cure her. "I suppose I should've known, you always had a knack for using me for your bitter ends." Her tone was as resentful as she felt. Calling back to the fact that she never intended to change the redhead, but only to heal. It made her sick to think of it, that she had been a chess piece in someone else's loss of humanity. This was supposed to be her friend, but when had that meant anything in Rebekah's life? She was always a means to an end.

"Coming to put me at the bottom of a lake this time? Or do you have a particular fondness for the sea?" Her eyes grew dark. Rebekah's day was, oddly, starting off rather pleasantly. Maybe this was nature's way of balancing the scales, lest she get too comfortable. Needless to say... she was still holding a grudge against @ladamedemartel.

"Whatever plans you may have can wait until I'm finished with my boudin."

[rebxkahs]

"I know it's been a rough day, mon trésor, but that's no excuse to ignore a text from your Auntie Bex." Rebekah rested her head against the doorjamb as she crossed her arms, and a waggish smirk saturated her features.

"Everything okay?" Concern replaced playful in a flash; a quick scan told the original that @naturesloophole wasn't in any immediate danger.

"Why are you afraid now that I'm giving you what you want?" - @apex-royalty (klaus)

Her face hardened before the first syllable left @apex-royalty's lips. She knew what it meant to be in the "calm" before a storm; she'd weathered his many times over the centuries.

"I will not allow you to ruin this for me, Klaus." Tone ice, but eyes ablaze–betraying the wrath within. "Leave it be, for once." The last two words fell with a hint of an unintended plea. She was tired tonight, had no desire for a fight, but it seemed a fight always had desire for her.

Siblings; a quick deep dive

Rebekah’s relationship with each of her siblings is marked with some level of duality and complexity. Under the cut is a list, in order of severity.

First, we must get Niklaus out of the way—he is the most nuanced in her dynamics: her most valiant protector and her most suffocating abuser in equal measure. No one can save her from herself quite like him, no matter the circumstances or timeline. From a particularly scary storm in their youth to those who would take advantage of her nature to see what she wants to see of people and double-cross her, to locking her in a box for decades and never allowing her to become entangled with another person. This can be inferred from a quote spoken by Rebekah herself: “I’ve spent my whole life loving and hating my brother with equal measure.” However, I argue this is because he is her favorite, warts and all. Their dynamic is extremely black and white, love and hate, push and pull, all areas that Rebekah understands more than grey. While he is her most TOXIC dynamic, that very toxicity is the reason Rebekah clings to him. She understands his rhythm and finds safety in the beats. Also, they have the most in common in terms of values and morals—though Rebekah still holds onto her love for mortality. It’s also worth noting that while she has had many plots to kill him, when push comes to shove, her heart is never in it, and she cannot carry on with the plan.

Next is Finn, and there’s not much she has to say about him. Of course, she loves her eldest brother and would do anything to protect him, but that’s the problem. She is not certain he would do the same, as she has evidence to the contrary. Although out of all of her siblings, Finn understands Rebekah’s mourning of being human the most. It’s a precarious relationship, and she debases him in her mind as a judgmental mommy’s boy.

Fourth is naturally Freya, and this is to no fault of Freya herself. It was a shock to learn she was alive, and for a time, she thought Freya would be a threat to their family. It is worth noting that Rebekah believed Freya to be an ally before any of their brothers, but, as previously stated, Rebekah tends to be naïve when she shouldn’t be and paranoid when the situation doesn’t require it. Which isn’t surprising, given her family’s dynamic as a whole: Kill or be killed, sometimes literally. After some time, Freya became the sister Rebekah didn’t know she'd been missing all these years, and Rebekah trusted her undoubtedly.

The rollercoaster that is Kol, where to begin… they have perhaps the most true sibling-like dynamic. The term “partners in crime” comes to mind with these two. Rebekah is usually the brains, and Kol is doing her dirty work, which she knows he has no qualms about doing. They’re perhaps the most equal in terms of mentality, both being the two younger living children of the seven. However, the complexity comes from the jealousy Kol feels toward her for being Klaus’ favorite sibling and for not being included in the “main three’s” Always and Forever mantra, something Rebekah denies. Always and forever, to her, was always about the ENTIRE family. Proving that while chaos reigns is hard for her, but in her heart of hearts, Kol will always be one of her highest priorities.

Elijah is by far her closest sibling. There’s very little guard needed for him, and when it is needed, she knows that it’s well-meaning. She never questions his allegiance and is unafraid to speak from her true heart with him. The only complexity here is that she doesn’t always align with his way of doing things and sees him as a wrench in her own plans. However, she looks up to him the most, and he is a sort of big brother/father figure hybrid for her. Though she will betray him just as well as her other siblings if the situation arises, she will never put his life (or any of the others’) in jeopardy knowingly.

A small bit on Henrik: as he would obviously be her most uncomplicated sibling, she does mourn him often. He is usually too painful to think of—she was the first to see his lifeless homecoming, and it was one of her last human memories. His death was a turning point in her life, because everything changed that day, and nothing has felt “normal” or “right” since. His memory is a large part of why she values humanity over immortality.
