poor rebekah! i really enjoyed reading this piece

I understand that Rebekah feels trapped. Klaus is not very good to show her feelings. But I still believe he really loves.

Anyway it's very well written and the way you express the contradictory feelings for Nik Rebekah is simply brilliant!

That was an incredible read. Your way with words is amazing~

My goodness this is STUNNING! (y)

You have such a beautiful way with language and you characterized Rebekah and her relationship with Klaus (or at the very least how I imagine it lol) so poignantly (y)

I particularly loved your use of the painted girl trapped within the glass as a motif, very clever! :)

I love it! :)

Oh, this is gorgeous, almost breathtaking, and so so sad. You've written Klaus and Rebekah's relationship very well. I could hear them speak in my head while I read—a couple of Klaus' lines stood out especially.

I loved the history included. "Il Valentino is turning the streets into blood and the towns into Borgia strongholds but Rebekah is here [...]" is such a beautiful sentence and it's what caught my attention and made me read this piece a little more carefully. "And she is still here, stuck, caught, and infinitely locked into place" is such a powerful ending. You're very talented with the structure of sentences! There were a lot of good ones but those two were my favorites.

You also portrayed the nature of being a vampire very well, I thought, with Rebekah thinking she'll forget the painter's name in a hundred years and whatnot. Very good.

I'm trying to think of some constructive criticism, but other than a couple of tempus mistakes I really can't find anything. I feel like this story deserves a lot of reviews and so I make up for it by posting this :) Keep writing!
