Chapter One – That Old Black Magick

It had been a decade since Rebekah Mikaelson had last seen her brothers Klaus and Elijah, ten years to the day that they sacrificed themselves in order to protect Klaus’ daughter Hope from the Hollow and Rebekah missed her brothers as much now as she did the day she lost them. A lot had happened in those ten years; Kol Mikaelson and his wife Davina adopted three girls and were living the perfect family life in San Francisco, Freya Mikaelson moved to Mystic Falls to teach at the Salvatore Boarding School taking her wife Keelin and their son Nik with them, Hope had grown older and found the love of her life in Josie Saltzman and Rebekah Mikaelson had been married for the first time after many failed attempts however her marriage to her long-time lover Marcel Gerard had ended in divorce. Rebekah Mikaelson was well and truly alone for the first time in over a thousand years and now more than ever she longed for her brothers to be by her side which meant she would stop at nothing to get what she wants even if it meant searching the world for a former flame to help her resurrect her beloved brothers. “I have not seen you in centuries and now here you are asking me to do the impossible because you think I look at our past together fondly.” Annabella Black, or Bella Black as she preferred to be called, a centuries old witch, said to Rebekah as the two walked down a street by the river somewhere in a small town in France. “The kind of magic that spell requires is beyond black even for a witch such as myself if I was even tempted to do this for you, I would not be able to do it alone.” “My brothers died protecting all of us from the hollow do you really think you would still be alive today if the hollow got what she wanted? No, we would all either be dead or enslaved by some bloody lunatic who thought herself a god.” Rebekah told her old friend and former lover. “All I am asking is for you to have cared enough for me in the past to help bring them back…I am well and truly lost without them Annabella.” “Some siblings are meant to be lost to us Rebekah, I for one have learned that the long and hard way.” Bella replied to the blonde-haired vampire as they continued their walk. “I cannot promise you anything but if I am tempted it would require at least another of my siblings and of course Magnus is out of bounds for all of eternity.” “I promise you Bella I will do anything to get Klaus and Elijah back, for Hope to have her father again…” Rebekah promised her, making it clear there was nothing she would not do to get her brothers back. “I have never been able to say no to you nor can I now but it is up to you and you alone to convince either Kayne or Rose, maybe even both with your persuasion skills.” Bella responded reluctantly. “However, my siblings do not tend to look as fondly on the past like I do.” Rebekah and her family’s past with the Black family was complicated at best and although her history with Bella fit that bill she knew for a fact that it would be much harder getting Kayne or Rose on side but after Bella gave her the much needed details she was on a mission to find them and persuade them one way or another.

It did not take Rebekah long after leaving France to hop on a private plane and fly to the city of Amsterdam, thanks to her compulsion powers the original female vampire could always travel in style but this travel was far from a pleasant one as she sought out her bewitching former lover Bella’s younger brother Kayne Black, a man who in her own opinion would be least likely to help her in her mission to save her brothers. Rebekah wasted no time after arriving in Amsterdam as she hunted the male witch down which thanks to tips from Bella concluded rather quickly as she walked into a seemingly abandoned warehouse to find Kayne passionately making out with a red headed woman. Instead of interrupting straight away she chose to observe Kayne who quickly placed his hands on the woman’s face before the woman’s signature redheaded began rapidly changing to white as her skin aged decades within seconds before she fell to the ground completely lifeless. “Well as anti-aging routines go that is rather unique and that comes from a woman who survives on blood!” Rebekah declared, making her presence known to Kayne who turned around, shocked to see the original vampire. “Well I could go all herbal like Annabella or knocked myself out constantly like Primrose, but I would rather stay young and beautiful for as long as possible.” Kayne replied as he began walking over towards Rebekah, completing ignoring the corpse of the woman he had just murdered. “I am guessing by the fact this is our first reunion in centuries you are wanting something from me.” “You always were too bloody clever for your own good,” Rebekah replied with a soft smile, genuinely happy to see her own friend again. “I need your help with a little ressurection spell.” “Little?” Kayne scoffed. “I am guessing this spell requires the ressurection of Elijah and Niklaus?” “Yes!” Rebekah admitted fearfully, knowing Kayne’s history with Klaus and the resentment the two held towards each other. “But before you say no out right just remember our friendship and now the twisted history of you and my brothers.” “I’m in,” Kayne replied, shocking the female vampire by his eagerness. “Providing of course that you get Rose involved too, after all two originals is going to take at least two powerful witches.” “Bella has already said yes to helping us.” Rebekah revealed to him. “That does not surprise me you were the only person in this world ever capable of controlling Annabella besides my dearly departed mother of course.” Kayne answered her. “Thing is when it comes to family reunions I would rather Rose hell I’ll put up with Bella, but I will not tolerate her alone.” “So, you are telling me you will only help if all three of use say yes?” Rebekah asked, getting more frustrated by the witch family’s demands. “Do you know how bloody hard it is going to be to get Rose to say yes to anything that does not benefit her somehow?” “Well then I guess you better open with one hell of a deal,” Kayne replied with a sinister smirk. “You should be counting yourself lucky I am willing to help you out of friendship alone, unfortunately for you Rose was never much a fan of you or your brothers…the only one she ever liked was Kol and we all know how that ended…” “Yes, we do!” Rebekah said with a deep sigh, realizing she was going to have to visit another witch from her ex’s family.

Rebekah’s relationship with Rose Black was far less complicated than her relationship with Rose’s siblings, Rebekah despised Rose with every fiber of her being and Rose countered that with equally shared hatred. Rebekah saw the youngest Black sibling as a spoiled pampered princess with a tendency for tantrum fits, she believed her to be a truly chaotic mess and a bad influence on her brother Kol which was ironic considering how troublesome she knew him to be by himself. Whereas Rose often resented Rebekah for taking up too much of her sister Bella’s time often making it her business to try and sabotage their ill fated romance but to be fair Rose resented all of the Mikaelson’s barring Kol who she saw as a kindred spirit back in the day. As Rebekah arrived in Los Angeles she hoped upon hope that the centuries had made the most chaotic witch she ever knew more calmer and mature as she found her way into a cemetery within the city before stopping at an over the top eccentric mausoleum with the name Primrose Black plated in gold on the door. “Why not just put your location all over the internet for all your enemies to come find you,” Rebekah mumbled to herself before opening the mausoleum door. “Although knowing this crazy bitch that is exactly what she would do.” “Who dares waken me from my slumber?” Rose cackled as she sat up from lying down on a cold slab of stone. “Just kidding I’ve always wanted to say that when somebody woke me up!” “You’d think a powerful witch such as yourself would cloak this place or have some kind of protection spell in case you know someone wants to burn you on a stake!” Rebekah snapped at her, far from amused to be reunited with her wicked nemesis. “Oh, please a beautiful girl such as myself gets wakened by a beautiful stranger, sounds more like a fairy-tale instead of a horror don’t you think?” Rose replied, knowing Rebekah had to be there for a particular reason. “Mind you it does tend to turn to horror for them, but it is not my fault people do not know how to handle all of this beauty.” “More like all of your crazy!” Rebekah chimed in, eager to insult the witch. “Now Rebekah you are not still holding that grudge over that little sleeping incident, are you?” Rose asked the original female vampire. “I mean it was centuries ago…” “I woke up on fire because you wanted to test the theory that I could not die you, crazy bitch!” Rebekah shouted at her furiously, before remembering why she was there in the first place and composed herself. “That is all history now, I forgive you.” “Oh,” Rose laughed at Rebekah’s forgiveness. “You must need one hell of a favour if you are trying to play nice.” “Well actually yes I need your help, along with your siblings who have already agreed by the way if that helps sway your decision at all.” Rebekah informed her, hoping Rose’s curiosity about a family reunion would help a family reunion of her own. “No, not really!” Rose answered her, “Tell me what century we are in now?” “21st,” Rebekah replied. “Fuck that, I am going back to sleep!” Rose complained, clearly not impressed with Rebekah’s answer. “I’ve already had my share of the 21st century and honestly I was not impressed.” “For once we actually agree about something!” Rebekah told her. “Look I know you do not care about anyone but yourself so you would not give a damn about helping me revive my brothers but if you do I promise I’ll owe you a favour and you can cash that in for whatever the hell you want.” “Your brothers are dead…” Rose said in shock. “And you are the one who survived? What the hell took them out?” “Well Kol is also alive and it was the hollow if you have ever heard of her.” Rebekah revealed to the witch, knowing she had finally caught her interest. “The most powerful witch in all of history,” Rose scoffed, clearly unimpressed with the hollow’s legacy. “I have lost count of the amount of her foolish followers I killed out of sport…okay Rebekah I will help you but it will cost you a price far greater than you could ever imagine.” “I will do anything to bring my brothers back, anything!” Rebekah declared to her, happy to have Rose’s help, no matter the cost. “Very well,” Rose replied with a devious smirk. “Maybe the 21st century will not be entirely dreadful after all.” Rebekah tried her best to not think of the price Rose’s help would require, knowing it was worth it to see Klaus and Elijah once again but still fearing what the crazy witch would have in store for her at the same time. One thing the Mikaelson woman did know for sure was that she now had three very powerful witches on side, ready to bring back and her brothers Klaus and Elijah and it would not be long before her family was once again whole.
