ROWAN POV

"Rowan please come to the Grill with me to help win Matt over" Rebekah pleads with me, "Why do you need to win him back over?" I ask confused, "Well when I drove the truck off the bridge, killed Elena, Matt's now pissed at me. So I'm trying to win him back" she explains to me, "Alright I'm in" I sigh, she smiles at "Excellent" .

...

We arrive and see Matt clearing up the bar, we walk up to him and Rebekah drops a set of keys in front of him. He glances at us then at the keys, "What's that?" he says bluntly, "The key to your new truck. It's parked outside, paid for, insured for. Everything but a big red bow" Rebekah says smiling, I smile too, this is such a kind gesture, Matt would have to be crazy to not accept it, plus it is a nice truck if I'm being honest.

"If that's your idea of an apology, you should probably give it to Elena. She's the one you killed" he says to Rebekah, "Why are you still friends with her Ro" Matt says walking away. Behind him was Klaus, I jump at his presence, I didn't see him there. "No need to be so jumpy love" he says smirking at me, I look away from him, "You're trying to hard" he says looking at Rebekah, "Last I heard you were leaving town. Forever" she says back to him.

"Well I was, but then I thought to myself, 'How can I when my sister clearly so desperate for love and affection, is left here bribing the help?" he says standing next to me but leaning on the bar to talk to Rebekah. "What do you want, Nik? Thought I was dead to you. And even ignoring Ro?" she says, I mentally face palm myself at her for bringing me up. "Things change, Rebekah" he says, "I've stumbled upon something I think might be of interest" he says, "Doubt that" she replies glaring at him, "No? What if I told you The Brotherhood of The Five still existed?" Klaus says.

I furrow my eyebrows, "What's The Brotherhood of The Five?" I ask confused, "Nothing for you to worry about love" Klaus says smiling at me, "That's impossible" Rebekah says shocked, "You see? And like that, bygones. Come on, work to do" he says looking at Rebekah. "We don't have anything to do. There is no 'we' I don't care about The Five and I don't care about you" Rebekah says glaring at him, "As you wish" Klaus says starting to walk away, "Wait. I wanna know" I say to him, he turns around and walks back to us, "You're not involved. You don't need to know" he says, I go to say something again but Rebekah holds me back and shakes her head, I huff and Klaus smirks and walks away, oh that face.

"What's the brotherhood of The Five Rebekah? Please tell me" I say, she sighs, "I still see why Nik likes you, you have fire" she says, I look down at the mention of Klaus' name, does he still like me? Did he ever? Because all he's been doing is ignoring me? Do I like him, I might I don't know, my feelings are all over the place. "The Brotherhood of The Five was a group of highly skilled vampire hunters. We crossed paths with them in the 12th Century, in Italy. My siblings had followed the Normans as they conquered the south feeding, turning people as we went. But with the bloodshed came exposure" she says explaining to me.

"Wait these hunters, they've been around for 900 years?" I say, she nods, "Apparently, according to Nik. But I wouldn't trust his word" she says through gritted teeth, "It makes you wonder though, what have they been up too. Because since then, I haven't seen any of them" Rebekah says, "There's more isn't there?" I ask, she nods, "I fell in love with one of them, his name was Alexander. He told me all his secrets-" she starts but pauses, "Why'd you stop?" I say, "Nik would kill me if he found out you knew. You already know too much" she says, "He doesn't control you anymore, you can trust me. I won't tell a soul" I say, she nods, "He told me, there was a cure, for vampirism" she says, "What?" I say quietly not believing it, she nods then looks up, "April's here. I've got to go. I'll see you later?" she says, I nod giving her a small hug. She walks over to April meanwhile I walk out the Grill but I run into Stefan.
