Chapter 12: Betrayal
After Rebekah finished recounting their mother Esther's history and the betrayal they had all experienced, a heavy silence hung over the Mikaelson siblings. Klaus, simmering with anger and hurt, was the first to speak.
"Is that why I always felt so weak whenever she gave me that necklace? And all those beatings from Mikael... was it because of her?" Klaus's voice trembled with a mixture of rage and betrayal.
Elijah and Rebekah exchanged glances, silently acknowledging Klaus's pain. Elijah spoke calmly but firmly, "Klaus, you are still our brother. Nothing changes that. We are with you, no matter what."
Rebekah stepped forward, her gaze serious. "But Klaus, you must be careful. If you kill someone in rage, you'll trigger the werewolf curse. We can't afford that kind of attention right now."
Klaus nodded solemnly, his anger tempered by the gravity of the situation. "I understand, Rebekah. I'll be careful."
Finn, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. Tears glistened in his eyes as he recounted the day their aunt Dahlia took their older sister away. "They took a part of me that day. And Mother... she promised she'd bring Freya back. But she never did. I've been helping her all this time, believing in her promises..."
Rebekah's heart ached for Finn. "Finn, I've done a locator spell. Freya is alive. She's in Norway, being held and experimented on by Dahlia. But she's alive, and we can save her."
The siblings exchanged stunned glances, processing the revelation about Freya. Elijah stepped forward, his voice steady. "We must rescue Freya. She's family, and family always comes first."
Rebekah nodded, her mind racing with a plan. "I have another idea, too. What if we lock Mother and Father away? Freeze them in a coffin with a spell, so they can't harm anyone ever again. It's a way to protect ourselves and ensure they can't continue their manipulations."
Elijah hesitated, considering the implications. "It's drastic, Rebekah. But if it ensures our safety and allows us to focus on rescuing Freya..."
Klaus clenched his fists, his resolve hardening. "They've taken enough from us. It's time we take control."
Finn wiped his tears, determination filling his voice. "I'm with you, Rebekah. Let's do it. For Freya."
Rebekah smiled faintly, grateful for her siblings' support. "Then it's settled. We'll save Freya and imprison our parents. Together all ways and forever ."
