a/n this might be a short chapter fair warning because I'm not going to get her into a lot of action.

I sat in my room with a large bowl of water. I watched everything that happen in the cemetery, I saw Rebekah hiding, Elijah and Nik talking. Elijah stopping his brother from doing something stupid. Rebekah talked to Marcel a couple of times. But then I saw Elijah throw away the white oak stake but I ran so fast when i saw Nik stab Elijah with the blade.

I arrived at the cemetery and looked everywhere to find Elijah and when i did i nearly broke. I ignored the siblings argument.

"Elijah!" i sped to his side and lifted him up "oh my sweet Elijah" i brushed his hair back and heard a gasp. Nik came round the corner. and to ripped open his shirt.

"do not take that blade out" Nik said

"try and stop me and I'll hurt you." i replied hollowly and closed my eyes shoving my hand in and roamed to grab the blade and pull it out.

"shhh rest for now" It got late and Rebekah came back, she and Niklaus talked before he came over to us. Elijah was waking up. He crouched down looking at his brother.

"No we're even" he stood back up and left. I heard him go talk to Rebekah and tell her to leave New Orleans. She was free and he would stay while she left. I also heard the barrier was down. I took Elijah to change and we went to the plantation where we guessed Rebekah would be. I waited outside while they had a moment. Tears dropped as she came out of the house.

"Bethany." she smiled a little

"I did think about begging you to stay, but i know that you've always wanted to be free so i decided against it." I grabbed her hand

"You know I never expected to become best friends with a vampire let alone an Original. When i saw most of the people i cared and loved for the people i always thought I'd be around till the end of my days betray me. You were there, you always had my side and at the beginning you didn't know me, just my face but not me. You have been one of the rocks in my vampire life and now that you're going i can't bear it"

"you're my best friend, no actually you're my sister and even though i know you're going to go i love you and I'll miss you" By now she was crying too and we hugged each other.

"I love you too and I think I might miss you the most" i clung onto her for a bit then we pulled away.

"Will you at least come back? to see your nephew at least"

"I'll try but if i can't at least tell him or he outright crazy Auntie Beks and i do love him so very much" i laughed and nodded. she gave my hand one last squeeze and walked away. i turned round watching her leave when i get Elijah wrap his arms around me.

"You know if we were going to have a daughter i would name her after the bravest woman i know. The one who knows what she wants and even after a 1,000 years is not afraid to leave and get it."

"Let us go back we need to reclaim our home." he kissed my head and i nodded turning around and hugging him i let him take me back to the compound. I let go and watched him throw Marcel into a wall. Quietly i made my way up the steps and watched him.

"Good Evening. I trust i need no introduction. After all this was once my family home." he held out his arms. "Tonight, I'm taking it back. Your privileges here have been revoked. Marcellus out of respect for my sister I will grant you this one mercy. I will allow you to keep your life. However, you are here by exiled. If i find so much as a trace of you in the French quarter, it will not end well for you do you understand me?"

"That is all run along"  The vampires started to file out as I watched Nik from the other side.

"Nicely done brother, you're beginning to sound like me. I'm impressed" Nik told him and left
