Chapter 1

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

Hey guys I know it has been awhile. But here it is, the sequel to the Blood reign of New Orleans is finally up. Enjoy.

Caroline held Hope in her arms rocking her to sleep. It had been almost a year since she came to New Orleans when she had found out that she was pregnant with Klaus's child. But two months ago she had given birth to Hope. Klaus and Caroline had decided that they would keep Hope here with them. Caroline wanted to be with her daughter and Klaus agreed. Rebekah had left though, she still wanted a life of her own but left. Klaus had given Rebekah the option of coming back to New Orleans for a visit. She could visit again anytime she wished to. That she was no longer banished. Klaus and Rebekah's relationship was back on good terms. Klaus let his anger for her go, and Rebekah apologized for what she had done. Elijah was helping run the French Quarter with Klaus. Elijah ran the French Quarter usually when Klaus would like to spend time with Hope and Caroline most of the time. Klaus and Caroline had recently started a relationship, after their confession of love for one another Klaus had asked her out properly on a date or as he might refer to it as courting. While they were out Elijah or Kol would watch over Hope for them. Caroline would prefer that Elijah would watch Hope, due to Kol's irresponsible behavior. One time he had forgotten Hope at home. Caroline had been furious, and he called her too motherly. Though when Elijah spoke to him, he apologized to Klaus and Caroline. But she was sure that there was a little more than lecturing. Meaning Klaus tried to dagger Kol, a few times. Speaking of Kol, she heard the door open and he entered the room.

"Where have you been?" She asked. For the past two months Kol had been mysteriously disappearing every now and then. He shrugged.

"Nowhere, went to have a drink and a snack." He smirked. Caroline studied him. She didn't really believe him but dropped it. "How is the little darling?" He asked.

"Shh!" She put a finger to his lips. "Asleep," She whispered. He rolled his eyes moved over to the dresser to pour himself a drink. "Thought you just had a drink." She muttered. He shrugged.

"Very thirsty." Caroline's phone beeped. She looked down at a text from Stefan. She had been sending him pics of Hope. Recently Klaus and Caroline agreed that Stefan could be the godfather and Kol complained that he wanted to be the godfather. Caroline told him that she trusts Stefan a lot more than Kol. That's why she had Elijah be the guardian if anything happened to her and Klaus. Though Klaus told her it was unlikely. She pondered wondering when he would be home. She had noticed that he seemed to be at the French Quarter longer lately.

Klaus stood in the courtyard with Elijah to his side. Marcel was explaining that lately there had been missing vampires. For the past two months a few vampires had gone missing. Elijah and Klaus wanted to learn more information.

"Some suspect it is the werewolves because of the full moon. It seems that they disappear then. But the werewolves still deny that they had nothing to do with their disappearances." Elijah thought for a moment.

"Perhaps Davina could be of some help?" Marcel shrugged.

"She can't seem to find anything. She keeps stating that she seems to be blocked. Even Monique can't, they described it like something or someone was blocking them with some sort of spell." Klaus thought for a moment.

"How about they focus and try to figure out what's blocking them from seeing the truth." Marcel nodded.

"That or we could find at least a vampire or their body." Klaus nodded.

"Keep searching for anything that you can find." Marcel gave him a nod before turning to leave the courtyard with two other vampires.

"I think that you should tell Miss Forbes," Elijah said. Klaus gave him a look. "Niklaus she deserves to know what's going on in the city."

"She doesn't need to be bothered with this." Elijah studied him.

"I understand that you are trying to protect her, but she should at least know."

"Let's just focus on figuring out what is going on in the city and stop the problem." Elijah swallowed hard.

"And if Kol was right, and father has returned. What if this is his doing?" Klaus looked outside to where Marcel was instructing the other vampires before they flashed off.

"I'll kill him again." Elijah nodded. Klaus thought about Caroline and Hope. No one knew of the existence of Hope. Except for his family, of course Caroline and Marcel. He had let word get out that his child had died so that no one would come for her.

"Shall we turn in for the night brother?" Elijah asked. Klaus looked at him before giving him a nod and followed him.

Caroline was finishing up her homework for one of her classes that she was taking in college. She stared at the question blankly before groaning. 'What do you think the Chief drawbacks of the civilizations of Rome?' She glared at the question. This was hopeless, she thought. She smiled to herself though. She wished Klaus was here. He's a thousand years old and has probably lived through it. Of course he would know the answer. Caroline noticed that Kol seemed to leave once again, she wasn't sure where. But she was starting to get suspicious, where could he be when he disappeared? Caroline decided to fetch a blood bag from the fridge. She took a sip when her vampire senses picked up movement. Caroline heard something else. She dropped her blood bag and flashed up the stairs to Hope's bedroom where she was asleep. Opening the door she found Hope asleep, Caroline smiled looking down on her. Caroline heard movement behind her.

"Well isn't this precious," Caroline turned and her eyes widened as she found him standing there looking at her. "Shh," He said placing a finger to his lips. "The baby's sleeping," Caroline felt her dead heart racing.

"Mikael,"

Caroline gasped and woke to find that she had fallen asleep, she looked around before realizing that she was in bed. She raised an eyebrow. She didn't remember falling asleep. Pushing the covers off, before standing up and walked down the hall to Hope's room before she smiled. She leaned against the doorway watching him. He was looking at their daughter who lie asleep in her crib. He brushed his fingers against her soft cheek.

"She missed you," Caroline said. Klaus felt a smile tugging at his lips when he heard her voice.

"I missed her as well." He tucked the blanket into her side before turning to the blonde baby vampire.

"How is the French Quarter?" She asked.

"Everything is starting to go back to the way things were when I first ruled before I left New Orleans in 1919. Vampires, werewolves and witches have become part of the city once again. I am bringing back the order of the city." She rolled her eyes.

"Did you kill those vampires?" She asked giving him a look. He sighed.

"I still don't understand this compassion that you possess, especially since they went on that killing spree." He took a step forward, she glared at him for a moment. He shook his head. "No I didn't kill them, like I promised to you." She gave him a smile before stepping towards him as well. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist bringing her closer to him.

"What did you do? Banish them?" Elijah was usually the one that if he didn't kill he would banish the vampire like he had done to Marcel once.

"Elijah and I warned them they had to respect the rules of the city. That they couldn't draw attention by running amuck draining people to death. The tourist were starting to get suspicious. Some wouldn't respect them, and so they were banished from the city. But some stayed and respected the rules here. I would have killed one of them because they had little respect but I didn't because I promised you I wouldn't."

"I'm sure that you didn't kill him but I can't imagine he wasn't harmed in the process." Klaus rolled his eyes.

"I am the king love," She sighed.

"Always have to prove that you are don't you?" He smirked.

"I don't have to prove anything love, I am the king of this city." He smiled. "Though I will always seem to bow down to a queen." Caroline gave him a look.

"Klaus, I am no queen." He nodded.

"You are right you are not, you are a goddess in human form." He kissed her neck. "But you could be of the French Quarter," Caroline sighed.

"We talked about this Klaus, I am not ready for all of this. I still want to go to college, as for being queen. I really just don't know." She shook her head. Caroline wasn't sure if this really was for her. In a way Caroline felt almost overwhelmed with the idea of ruling over the French Quarter with Klaus. She was still a teenager after all. There was so many things that she hadn't done. What was keeping her in New Orleans was Klaus and Hope. But she still wanted to finish her studies. She wanted to earn a degree. Klaus looked at her.

"Will you at least thing about it? You would be a great one." She blushed.

"I'll think about it but I am not saying yes, and you might have to wait a while for an answer. I would at least like to finish college first." Klaus nodded.

"That's understandable love," He said pressing another kiss to her cheek. "You should have stayed in bed. I can tell that you are tired, love." She shrugged.

"Join me?" She asked. He smirked before she knew it they were back in their bedroom with her back pressed against the mattress and Klaus hovering over her. She smiled and grabbed the necklaces dangling from his neck using them to tug him down to her, pressing her lips against his. He broke the kiss and moved to her neck placing kisses and love bites there. She moaned gripping his shirt pulling him closer. He chuckled.

"You're going to have to be quiet love, wouldn't want to wake Hope would we?" She rolled her eyes before cupping his face and bringing his lips back to hers in a passionate kiss before they got lost in one another.

Finn turned to the warlock that stood with him. As they both stood over a grave. They began to chant, the flames on the torches that surrounded them grow as they did so.

"Exsurge, et corpus sub me quaerunt mendacium souless animas lamia. Elias, Niklaus, Kol et Rebeccae." The ground where the tombstone shook till a crack was formed. And with that dark essence rose from the cracks in the earth.

Note: So I have been working on this since Friday. Recently I have been having to work on a midterm as well. So what do you think of the first chapter. Klaus and Caroline kept Hope with them. Kol seems to be disappearing a lot. Finn is up to no good and vampires have been disappearing. Klaus seems to be hiding this from Caroline for now. Caroline being queen perhaps? Review please. Thanks.
