Start from the beginning
                                    

"The werewolves?" Elena asked understanding what the girl was telling her

Rebekah went to another table in Stefan's room and start messing with his things again

"To us, they were just our neighbors. My family lived in peace with them for over 20 years, during which time my family had more children, including me"

Elena couldn't stop herself before asking her next question. Stella was someone who always intrigued her very much. The doppelgänger wanted to know more about her

"What about Stella's family? Were they also werewolves?"

Rebekah shook her head

"No, Stella's family was just like mine. They were humans, well, sort of" Elena furrowed her brows in confusion "Her mother was a witch"

That explains why Stella is also one

"Her mother, just like mine, heard about the same land where she could raise her kids safely. They arrived here after us, but we quickly became friends" Rebekah smiled at the memory "However, her mother was one of a kind. She was indeed powerful"

"You make it sound so normal. Werewolves. Witches. Does that not fright you?"

"It was normal. Once a month, my family and Stella's retreated to the caves beneath our village. The wolves would howl through the night and by morning, we would return home"

Rebekah saw the necklace standing by the window, enchanted by its beauty, she tried to pick it up. Unfortunately, instead, it burned her

"Ayana, you burned me" She complained to the witch by her side

"That is not yours to touch"

They heard a scream from outside the house

"Is that Niklaus? Something is wrong" Rebekah said before running out of the house

Niklaus came running to the house carrying Henrik on his arms. Stella, who was cooking, also heard the screams for help, she came out of her house and ran to the neighbors

"Henrik!" Rebekah screamed

The now Mikaelson girl ran to them. The moment Stella saw the body of the youngest of her new family on the floor full of blood, she started to cry. Stella was now in shock of the image in front of her

"Mother!" Niklaus yelled again

"One full moon, Klaus and my youngest brother snuck out to watch the men turn into beasts. That was forbidden" Rebekah told Elena "Henrik paid the price"

Elijah came running to his brother, just like their mother Esther. They all kneeled to the ground

"Henrik, no. No! What happened?" She asked

"The wolves" The Blond said and start crying as well "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry"

"Please, there must be a way to save him" Esther pleaded to the witch, Ayana

"The spirits will not give us a way, Esther. Your boy is gone"

The moment Stella heard this, she ran to her husband who hugged her as tight as he could. He rested his head on her neck, making the girl feel the tears coming out of his eyes. Stella, trying to calm him down, kissed his head making the man bring her even more closer to him than before
