[The cure is a fake. That's the puncline, and it isn't fun. They raise Silas, eventually put him down and eventually Rebekah leave Mystic Falls. She does not go with Niklaus, not this time. She travels with Elijah for a while, her only other brother left (the ache of Kol's death is acute, but not something she allows herself to dwell on) but eventually she goes on her own. She moves to California, thinks the beaches and sun would be a nice change of pace.
She falls in love with a young surfer, and it almost fills the void (her lovers always do, but it's never quite enough). She moves in with him, feeds behind his back and generally is content. Or as much as she will be. Still. It can't last forever. Nothing ever does (except for her).
She goes out to watch him surf one morning (he snuck out hours ago) and as she walks out on the sand she notices something. A trail of blood. She follows it but she knows as soon as she starts what she'll find at the end. Her boyfriend's corpse. And her brother standing over it. It's been two years since she last seen him, but for creatures like them that's no time at all.]
I suppose I should have known you'd find me eventually. You never could stand being alone for long.
