➳ sinners and saints
"If anything... Reece was never Reece, the Reece she is now, well, she was made by the Mikaelsons."

Reece always love the Mikaelsons. Well, to be honest she only had met three out of how many possible Mikaelsons, Elijah keeps reminding her how many Mikaelson but she never remembers, and honestly she did not know who she would even cope in a house if all Mikaelsons were present.

Reece always has been the closes to Elijah. Elijah is her best friend and acts like the perfect older brother. Elijah was the one who turned Reece, he was the one to introduce her to his siblings and was the one helped her with her new vampire abilities. If anything Reece loves Elijah like he was her older brother.

Reece and Rebekah had always had that connection of protectiveness towards each other. Being together as girls made them close enough. Although Reece and Rebekah weren't best friends they were sisters from another parents and centuries... Rebekah loves Reece as a sister, she could finally have those girly talks and feel like a normal girl for once.

Now, Reece and Niklaus was a different story. Oh, yes they were. Niklaus and Reece complete each other. Like the missing pieces of a puzzle. Sure, Reece was full of tease and rude sarcastic comments and Niklaus was full of evil and plans for global domination but honestly the two actually see the good in each other. Reece admires Niklaus for his weird nature of care. Niklaus admires Reece for her carefree side.

If anything... Reece was never Reece, the Reece she is now, well, she was made by the Mikaelsons.

Rebekah and Reece was left at the house talking, if you didn't think Reece had a girly side well she did. She wasn't just an obnoxious loud self-centred asshole like she is usually know. Reece loves to shop, gossip and actually feel like a girl.

Meanwhile, Klaus is pacing in the back kitchen of Rousseau's, which is empty of employees. When Sophie finally comes into the room with a basket of produce, Klaus grabs her and vamp-speeds them back to the plantation house for a meeting. He brings her to the living room, where Rebekah and Reece is waiting for them, and deposits Sophie onto the couch.

Klaus screams angrily at the witch, "We had a deal! You protect my unborn child, I dismantle Marcel's army. And whilst I've been busy fulfilling my part of the bargain, you allowed Hayley to be attacked and almost killed by a gaggle of lunatic witches."

Sophie looks at the vampires frantic, "I had nothing to do with it, I swear. Hayley and I are linked, remember? She dies, I die. "

Rebekah asked confused, "Then who were they?"

Sophie sighs, "They are a faction of extremists. Sabine stupidly told them about some vision she had about the baby."

Reece became suspicious but also interested, "What kind of vision?"

Sophie shakes her head, "She has them all the time. They are totally open to interpretation. I'm guessing she's wrong on this one."

Klaus sat down next to Reece, who was in between the two originals, "Well, how, may I ask, was this particular vision interpreted? "

"...Pretty much that your baby would bring death to all witches."

"Ah, well. I grow fonder of this child by the second."

Klaus smiles as Reece smiles also taking fond of the unborn child. Rebekah was absolutely off the walls that there would a child soon. Rebekah had always dream to be a parent but an aunt was close enough. Reece was actually uneasy with the baby, as much she fully supports the baby to be born, she didn't know how the Mikaelsons will act because she knows they're going to be different.

"Sophie, look-- I promised Elijah that I would protect the Mikaelson miracle-baby whilst he tries to win your witch Davina's loyalty. Why don't you tell me just how extreme this faction is?" Rebekah forces a smile trying to be nice.

Sophie was shocked, "Elijah's talking to Davina?"

"Yeah. As we speak, I imagine." Reece said, leaning back, "Bloody hell, keep up."

"I'm guessing she'll have plenty to say about that crowd." Sophie scoffs while leaning back as well.

Klaus was intrigued and leaned forward, "Do tell."

"I... wasn't always an advocate for the witches." Sophie started her story.

As much Reece wanted to listen she just couldn't. It was interesting, but Reece just couldn't focus. Maybe that her thoughts were about Hayley, how Reece felt a bit jealous of the pregnant werewolf. Not because she was pregnant and Reece wasn't... No it was maybe the possibility that all the Mikaelson attention was on her, especially Klaus'.

Rebekah's confused voice brought Reece to reality, "What the bloody hell is a Harvest?"

"It's a ritual our coven does every three centuries so that the bond to our ancestral magic is restored. We appease our ancestors, they keep our ancestral power flowing." Sophie shrugs.

"And why haven't I heard of this?" Klaus questions as in the corner of his eye he could see Reece in and out paying attention to the conversation.

"Because a Harvest always seemed like a myth. A story, passed on through generations like Noah's ark, or the Buddha walking on water. The kind some people take literally, and some people don't." Sophie started another story which made Reece able to her little dream world.

Sophie stopped then continued making Reece snap into reality, "They had the girls of our community preparing for months. Four would be chosen for the Harvest. They said that it was an honor, that they were special. I thought it was a myth."

"Was it?" Reece asked, pretending that she was actually listening to whole story but honestly she could't really care less.

Sophie looks guilty, but before she can say anything, Klaus's cell phone rings. He sees that it's Marcel and answers it. Reece looks at Rebekah then back at Sophie. Reece didn't like Sophie and luckily the feeling was mutual. Reece disliked the witch because 1) she was linked to a werewolf who is pregnant. 2) She seems to have this side that Reece just did not care for.

Klaus left the house, soon after Sophie did then Rebekah. Reece stayed at the mansion. She heard the door close, so Hayley left as well. Reece liked being alone, she was there to collect her thoughts and honestly she didn't like to do some supernatural drama today. She was simply not in the mood.

She sighs and went up to Elijah's room and found a familiar book. Her diary. Now, each Mikaelsons -Elijah, Niklaus and Rebekah- has read her diary to save her from explaining her life. Elijah was the first to read, obviously seeing he was the one who turned her, and he was the one to keep it. Reece picked it up and smiled faintly, the going into a memory.

"Mother, Julian is asleep, so is the twins."

"Thank you, sweetheart."

An old woman looked up from her sewing and looked at her eldest daughter. The woman bore five children. Three boys and two girls. The eldest daughter, Reece, was her favourite but Reece was never her father's. He did care, honestly, but less of her.

"Girl." The stone hard voice was heard entering the room, "Where are the others?"

"Asleep, father." The young dark haired girl looked at him, "Sorry...Sir." She corrected.

Albert Kelsey nods and walked away from the two woman. Albert was a wealthy man, he owned a business and gained a lot of money. He was a nobleman and his wife was a noblewoman. Reece, who never liked her real name, looked at her mother.

"You called?" Her voice was innocent and gentle, "I may have to go back to Samuel he is facing dreadful night frights lately."

"E-" A simple look from Reece made her mother think, "Sweetheart, I came bearing a gift."

Maria Kelsey pulls out a beautiful necklace. Reece gasped in awe, she was in love. Maria also pulled out another gift. A book, however it was empty and Reece was confused. Reece was well educated, wealthy family, and knew fondly how to write. Reece never liked reading but she loved writing. She would write anything. Poetry, a song, short stories, little ideas anything her imagination takes her.

"It's a book, I know how much you love writing. Make it a diary, keep yourself up to date and write about your day."

"Will do, mother. It's simply amazing. Thank you."

Reece was taken back into reality when she realised she dropped her diary. Oh how much she longed for a mother. Her mother always loved her, her father loves Reece, he really does but the thing is Reece wanted to change her name because she disliked her real one so much. She would never be called by her real name. She would refused to answer to it.

But her father was another story. Reece and Niklaus was so alike. They know how it felt to be beaten by their own father. Reece closed her eyes and picks up the books, she gently put it down on the desk before striding out of the room.

Maybe she'll read it again but for now Elijah keeps it safe

"Couldn't you leave me be for a few more hours, Beks?" Reece sighs, "Are you even going to talk to me?"

Rebekah continues to walk, without telling Reece where their destination was. Reece was basically moaning how long they were walking, why couldn't they take the car? It would speed up the process wouldn't it. Reece sees their destination. It was out in the bayou and in big letters the building read:

BIG AUGGIE'S BAYOU BAR

Reece looked at Rebekah in disgust as Rebekah simply smiles and enters while Reece trails behind. The two girls stand next to Klaus' and Marcel's table. Reece smiles pleasantly, making Klaus chuckle and Marcel smile amused.

Rebekah spoke pleasantly, "Isn't this like old times? Just how drunk are you two? "

Klaus feigns drunkenness and slurs his words, "Skating on the razor's edge. I'm gonna use the loo. Back in a tick."

"Gross, don't need to know that info." Reece said scrunching her nose.

"But you have seen it, so why be disgusted?"

"Well because right now I don't feel the sexual tension we usually have when we have sex, Nik."

Klaus frowns then smirks and leaves, and Rebekah stands next to Marcel at the bar. Reece looks at them.

"I'm gonna leave before I feel the sexual tension between you two."

Reece leaves while Klaus suddenly got a grab of her arm. Reece was about to struggle and rip the person's arms off but when she saw Klaus she stops. Klaus sends her a toothy grin making Reece frown. Klaus and Reece walks outside and sees Tomas, who has just returned from the Bayou.

"Tomas, I presume? Marcel asked me to find out what you know about the dead witches." Klaus smiles as Reece stood next to him. Klaus had let go of her arm and Reece was straining herself from hitting Klaus.

"I heard they were going after some pregnant werewolf. She was stupid, being out there all alone."

Klaus chuckles fakely, "Yeah, she was, wasn't she, yes? It's amazing how gullible some people can be. " Klaus smiles and snaps the vampire's neck.

"Well then, I am now going back inside."

Klaus turns to look at Reece to stop her but Reece had already turned her back and started to walk inside. Klaus would never admit but he always loved Reece's feisty side but he always love Reece as a whole. Klaus, well, he's the devil but acts like god and only one of them are capable of love.

Yes, Niklaus Mikaelson was determined to make Reece Kelsey his.

"No, Marcel, I do not want to be Klaus' girlfriend, just let that dream go."

"Why the hell are you lying." Marcel shakes his head, "Lying to yourself isn't good, Reece."

Reece huffs and downs her drink, which Marcel got for her -such a gentleman. Reece crossed her arms over her chest, bit her lip and furrowed her eyebrows, leaning more on one leg than the other.

"Anyway, I have to know... Seriously, did Klaus and you did it on the bathroom sink?"

"Oh my god, Marcel." Reece leaned against the bar, "You're kidding me right?"

"No I am being serious."

"Did you lose your virginity to Bekah?"

"Oh my god."

Rebekah was relieved when she saw her older brother, "Nik, finally! What--"

Elijah walks through the door after his brother with a huge smile. Rebekah runs to Elijah and hugs him tight. Elijah sees Hayley over Rebekah's shoulder, and they smile at each other, though Hayley leaves the room right afterward

"Elijah! You're safe! Now that you're home, is your first plan to kill Niklaus?" Rebekah lets go of the hug.

Elijah smiles, "Excuse me just a moment."

He walks through the living room toward the back yard. Reece comes into the room looking confused as she saw Rebekah smiling happily. Klaus chuckles at the rare confused face of Reece. Reece looked at the two siblings waiting for an explanation.

Elijah comes back from the outside and sees Reece. Reece smiled and ran up to hug her best friend. Elijah chuckled and returned the hug. Unknown to Reece, Klaus was glaring at Elijah. Rebekah smiled happily that Elijah was back, everything can slowly be normal. Reece lets go of the hug.

"Welcome back Elijah Mikaelson."

Does that memory of Reece actually makes sense ??? I want you guys to understand that Reece wasn't such a reckless obnoxious person and that she was actually the more naïve person.
