Where the Hell Have You Been? (Elijay/Rebekah)

[Elijah Mikaelson]

I didn't let my emotions show as she gave me the third degree. "I thought we lost not one but two of our brothers. Our family has destroyed an innocent girls life. Not to mention, you went against not only Niklaus's wishes but mine as well when you killed Miss Gilbert." I said sternly to her. Sure she staked Rebekah but she still shouldn't have taken her life. "Besides Rebekah, you following Niklaus all those years did you no good. Look at what has become of you, while staying with him. He carted you around with our brothers because you wanted to leave him to be happy. I left because it was the best for me. You were always welcome to join me, you were the one that stayed. Family does not keep each other staked for centuries on end. I meant what I said. Always and Forever, but I could not watch you go down the same path that Niklaus chose."

[Rebekah Mikaelson]

I shake my head slowly and scoff. As much as our brother has done, you know as well as I, that you would never leave him out in the cold. It's not in your nature. I shake my head. Come with him? He never asked. You didn't so much as give me a chance, Elijah. Our brother dies and you run in the other direction. Come with you? Was I supposed to chase after you, too? I must've missed the memo Not once did Elijah ever ask me to come with him. Was I supposed to assume that he'd run off and I was to chase after him. Did he honestly expect me to choose? Regardless of all Nik has done, he is our brother, and he is our family. We, are a family. Kol is an impulsive, reckless lunatic but we stay by his side. I'm impulsive and emotional, you're self-righteous but when you snap you're just as bad as Nik. Finn had his idiosyncrasies but we didn't abandon him. We've always been a family, whether together in a box, or not, Elijah. Family is family, Elijah. I swallow. My voice breaks We're immortal, Elijah. If we lose each other we have nothing.
