Death Comes As The End
Title: Death Comes As The End
Fandom: The Vampire Diaries
Characters: Esther, Klaus, Rebekah.
Warnings: Spoiler for the most recent episode, 3x19. If you don't know how that ends, don't read this.
Pairings: Klaus/Rebekah (implied)
Rating: PG
Summary: Esther's motivations for her actions in 3x19 are revealed.
She’d first noticed it all those years ago, but had wanted to believe that she was wrong. There was something about the way Niklaus watched Rebekah when he thought that none of them were watching, something in the way he spoke her name. “We stick together as one, always and forever.” That was what she had heard them saying to each other. But they included Elijah in this too, and Kol and Finn...it meant nothing more than them all protecting themselves against their father’s rages. That was all.
She hadn’t spoken of it to Mikael; partly this had been because she had not wanted her suspicions to be confirmed, and partly it had been because she was afraid for how Mikael would react to Niklaus if he began to suspect Niklaus’s intentions towards Rebekah were anything other than brotherly. Already, Esther feared for Niklaus at times when she heard the way Mikael sometimes addressed him, and yet she feared for herself too, wondered if there was any way that Mikael suspected that Niklaus may not be his son, but the son of the other.
She would keep watching, waiting for any sign and then she would put a stop to it before anything came to Mikael’s ears. That had been her original intention.
Until now, when she realised that there was a way of using it to her advantage.
It had been true what Esther had told Rebekah; she had been watching over them all for a thousand years. And in that time, she had seen enough to know that her original suspicions had been right. She had watched as they left their home together to return to the old world; she had watched as they travelled through England and encountered the Petrova doppelganger Katerina; she had watched as Niklaus had comforted Rebekah when she woke from her nightmares asking for Esther; and she watched as Niklaus had daggered Rebekah for having loved someone who wasn’t him.
And now she knew what she must do.
What could be simpler than to come to Klaus in the form of the one person he was most likely to trust? He would suspect an attack from Elena, from Matt Donovan, from Alaric Saltzman. He would probably even have suspicions of Kol and Elijah. But there was one person Niklaus would never expect to do him any harm: the one person who had vowed loyalty to him to the end. His sister, Rebekah.
She had the stake now. She had the means to end the abomination she had created, and to right the balance of nature. Niklaus would be gone, and if the act of staking him destroyed Rebekah’s body, then Esther was fine with this. She would find someone else’s body to possess, then she would seek Kol and Elijah and stake them too. It had begun with Esther, and now it was going to end with her.
“Did you get it?” Niklaus asked as Esther returned to the house.
“Oh, yes,” Esther said as she held the stake lovingly in her hands, pointed it towards Niklaus. “I got it.”
