His beaming light

Hi everyone! So before I start this story I just want to clarify some things. this is my first fanfic ever... Yeah that's how much I thought klaroline was adorable.

First thing: to read this story I advise you to have started and FINISHED 'the originals ' because this whole story is based on the terrible cliffhanger ending that series had and will have some major spoilers . This story is sort of a crossover between TO and TVD . So the continuation after the end of the TO and somewhere in season 5 of TVD .

Second thing : I know that bonnie and Damon die in season 5( even though they come back later) but in this story they never did. Marcos got sucked into oblivion and the other side collapsed but bonnie's Grams pulled some witchy stunt from the other side and insured that after the other side vanished bonnie got turned back into a witch. Oh and there is still a magic proof barrier around mystic falls , Enzo didn't help Caroline remove it. She's still trying to find a way and Caroline doesn't like Stephen (just ugh... Disgusting)

Third thing: I know Hope Mikealson was a lot bigger by the end of the originals but I'm making her younger here. Say about 10 months old.

Fourth thing :Cami and klaus weren't as in love in this story . Yes they liked each other briefly, but it was barely there.

That's pretty much everything for now . I hope you will enjoy this story .

Chapter one

Driving right past New Orleans limit , Hayley couldn't help the empty feeling that filled her chest or the few tears that slid down her cheek . Her daughter was sleeping peacefully in the back seat of the truck . Her mind drifting to the four bodies living in deep sleep in the truck. Her Elijah, Freya, kol and her first still-living friend Rebekah.

She honestly thought that she had finally found a family and she did but just after her brief happiness... finally getting over Jackson and getting together with Elijah. The man she had been in love with since the day he rescued her from the witches.

And klaus, her daughter's father had sacrificed himself in order to save his family. Now he was God knows where with the Tunde blade inside him giving him unending torment . She had promised she'd find them all cures. The cure for Rebekah's dagger curse and a cure for Freya's poison and the hardest of them all, the cure for Elijah's and Kol's super werewolf bite . Hayley felt trapped in a place with no escape, all the air around her couldn't remove the feeling of hollowness inside her and the sense of dread only kept building up...

Hayley shot up in her bed at the sound of baby Hope's cries. The little child's mood seemed to only worsen by the day from the absence of her father . Even though she hadn't completed her first birthday yet , anyone could have seen how the young girl loved her father and always calmed down in his arms . It's only been two months since klaus has been gone ,him and all of Hope's uncles and aunties. Two months of chasing leads without the success. The latest lead being on Petersburg.

She darted around the tiny kitchen in her rented apartment ,preparing the milk formula for Hope while her mind strayed wildly trying to think of her next step to finding the cure or rather , the cures.

Hayley picked up her whimpering daughter and fed her the milk from the bottle mindlessly stroking her hair. She looked down at the bottle and was surprised to find it nearly drained,she shook her head while smiling fondly at her growing daughter.

Gently,she placed Hope in her crib along with her toy bunny,it was favourite after all. Releasing a sigh , she looked around her apartment. It wasn't by any means fancy . It was a cute little thing with one room, a bathroom and a kitchenette. She of course had a ton of money that was left from the mikealsons but she wanted to keep a low profile.

She was making her way to the bathroom when a loud crash, followed by Hope's scared shriek interrupted her thoughts. She looked down and realised that she had knocked a box to the ground. Rushing over to her daughter, she picked her up and tried to calm her down , key word being tried. She looked back again to figure out what had fallen when she found a thick black book at feet . A few pages were poking out the side.

It was klaus' sketchbook.

One of the few things she had never taken a look inside in all the time she had spent with the mikealsons . It was also one of the few things she had managed to save before any of the hooligans , otherwise known as klaus' sire links ripped the compound back at NoLa apart. She grabbed the sketchbook and sat at the edge of the bed with Hope in her lap

Tentatively she opened the book and looked around. She half expected klaus to jump out any moment and pull the sketchbook back from her hands and give her his famous glare. It appeared that she opened the sketchbook from the back because the most recent drawings were there. His last drawing was of Hope . There were quite a few of Hope actually and then there was the drawing that caused a sense of sadness and loneliness to spread through her.

It was a drawing of all of them on the last Christmas . They were all looking ahead and smiling . It was as if he captured it with a camera . She was carrying Hope and smiling at her while the little girl's head was turned towards Elijah who was holding a tiny had with that gentle smile on his face. Rebekah was giving a haughty look to Kol and he had that teasing smile on his face while klaus himself stood beside Rebekah, his head titled slightly back in laughter . Freya and Finn were sitting underneath the tree , each with mugs in their hands and were chatting happily with happiness practically stamped on their faces. Tears started streaming down Hayley's face. Kol and Finn obviously weren't there with them but klaus had drawn them in anyway.

Hope gurgled happily and scratched at the paper , obviously recognising her family but quickly became quiet as she looked at her mother's face with tears on it . Her head tilted slightly to the side as if silently asking her mother what's wrong .

"I'm going to get them back Hope, I promise " she whispered with her forehead close to her daughter's forehead and dropped a quick kiss on the tip of her nose and turned back to the sketchbook. She turned to a random page and was surprised at what she saw. It took a minute for her to match the face with a name but she got it .

Caroline Forbes.

She had a suspicion that klaus had a thing for her back when they were in mystic falls but the more she turned the pages the more she became sure that he was practically in love with the girl. Almost half a dozen pictures were of her . Some were face shots, others were moments like he was looking at her from a distance.

Suddenly she had an idea . It had an unlikely chance of happening but she had to try. Hayley Marshall knew where she was going to go next to ask for help.

I know this chapter is really short but please think of it as a prologue just setting the scene and building suspense. I don't have a song for this chapter but I will probably have for the upcoming ones.

PLEASE please please comment and like(if you like) and don't hesitate to criticise as long as it's constructive criticism
