A Brand New Life and a Growing Love

Rebekah was getting tired of being told what she could and couldn't do by Klaus. If anyone was to tell them what to do, it should've been Elijah since he's older than her and Nik. All Rebekah wanted was to love someone without having to be daggered for it by her brother Nik. He always saw her loving someone else a betrayal to him. After seeing Nik hurt those he claims to love, she had enough.

She had spoken to Elijah, and he supported her decision to leave the family for a chance to find the love she's always dreamed of having with another being. As for her brother Kol, she never told him since he was always a blabber mouth. But he always had her back when it mattered the most. Elijah also knew who her belonged to which was Tyler Lockwood.

Elijah and Rebekah both knew that it would forbidden for her to be with Tyler given Tyler and Nik's past history so to put Rebekah at ease, he told her that he would take care of Klaus so that she could have her happily ever after, after so many centuries of Klaus ruining all her attempts at love. Once she had packed her things, she had gotten into her car and drove to Mystic Falls.

She felt a wave of relief wash through her as she made her way back to Mystic Falls as she started a new chapter in her life. She had no Klaus to worry about, no 'always and forever' to come back to bite her in the ass, no family drama. Rebekah was free to finally live her life the way she had always wanted to. For once, she didn't have to fake a smile to pretend like everything was fine. Rebekah also felt happy for the first time in so many centuries.

When she finally arrived in Mystic Falls, her first stop was to go by the Lockwood Estate. She was in love with Tyler but never knew how he felt about her. He was always kind to her and he treated her with respect. This is what ignited her love for him in the first place. She had no home to come to in Mystic Falls so she hoped Tyler would allow her to stay at his. After she had knocked on the door and had her bags with her, Tyler was shocked to see her especially at his doorstep with bags. It looked as if she was ready to move in.

"Surprise! Did you miss me, love?" Rebekah said with a smile on her face and it took a minute for him to process everything but he had welcomed her into his home. He let her stay at his estate for free. Rebekah was very pleased with this. They grew closer during this time and they both eventually told each other how they felt and he even showed her how to play pool. Rebekah considered that to be their first date though.
