The original hybrid had translated the words on the hilt of the sword and gave them to Rebekah, including the discovery that there was only one dose of the cure.

Percy and Klaus waited to hear an update from the original.

The daughter of the sea was eating a pint of ice-cream. Rudy laid next to her.

Klaus' phone rang, causing him to answer it. He immediately put it on speaker phone to allow Percy to hear the conversation.

Rebekah's voice spoke, "I didn't get the cure."

The demigod made eye contact with the British guy seated next to her.

"What happened?" She asked softly.

The female original responded, "Katherine stole it."

I didn't know Katherine was looking for the cure.

"How did she find it before you?"

Rebekah sighed, "There was another vampire hunter there who was part of the Five. He shot me, leaving me dead temporarily, and stopped me from getting my hands on it. Katherine pretended to be Elena and pinched the cure before anyone could stop her." The original paused. "I should've killed the bloody doppelgänger ages ago."

"Well, sister," Klaus started, "It's a shame that a little vampire hunter was able to take you down. You would think being an original would allow you to protect yourself, from one simple hunter." He spoke in a mocking voice to his sibling, causing Percy to flick his shoulder.

The hybrid glanced at her and continued talking. "And I don't suppose you have any ideas on where Katherine might have gone, do you?"

"No, Nik." Rebekah said in frustration. "We don't know where she went. Or Silas for that matter."

Lovely.

The demigod pressed her lips in a straight line. "Do we at least know what he looks like?"

The original shook her head. "No, no one saw Silas' face."

Dang.

Percy moved closer to the phone.

"Bex?"

"Yes, Percy?"

The demigod assured her softly, "It'll be okay. We'll figure it out. Maybe, we can track down Katherine."

Rebekah took a a deep breath. "Okay." The original paused, "I'll see you when I get back. Bye, Percy."

"Bye, Bex."

After the call ended, Klaus set his phone down on the table.

He glanced at the demigod seated beside him. Her head rested on his shoulder.

Klaus kissed the top of her head gently.

The pair simply sat there, enjoying being close to each other.
