A/N - So after watching the horrible season finale of the Originals I decided to do my own continuation of it. This idea just kind of popped into my head and I had to write it out Klaus is still dead in this but I promise there is a method to my madness. The chapter is rather short it's an intro of sorts but I'll hopefully post another in the next coming days just bare with me X Hope you all like it please remember to send me a review X
'One of you stands, walks to the door, doesn't turn back, even if their heart aches for just one more look, one more moment. But you'll know that the not looking just means... I'll never forget you'
Caroline sat in her office at The Salvatore Boarding school a lone tear falling down her cheek as she went over her last moments with Klaus. She got the call from Rebekah while she was on her way back to Mystic Falls along with the surprising news of Elijah making the decision to join him in death. She felt numb when she ended the call she knew it was inevitably but nevertheless her heart hurt at the news of Klaus Mikaelson's demise. She couldn't believe he was dead after everything they had been though together he was truly gone, she thought that he would last forever that he was meant to be her last love, that she was meant to show up on his doorstep and he would show her what this world had to offer just like he had promised her. She had so many regrets with the two of them over the years but her biggest one is that she never got to tell him how she truly felt... that she loved him that however long it takes was here and she was finally ready to be his last love but now he would never know because he was dead...Klaus Mikaelson was dead.
Caroline pulled out her phone and went straight to her photo gallery and pulled up the last image she took which was of her and Klaus in the middle of New Orleans at least one promise came true he made good in showing her his city and it was beautiful just as he had described , she just wished it wasn't there final goodbye. Her fingers softly touched the screen as to caress his face one last time as more tears escaped her eyes "I wish you were here.." She whispered brokenly to herself
"Miss Forbes" A familiar voice sounded from the doorway to her office causing Caroline to break out of her thoughts as she furiously wiped her eyes in hopes to fix her appearance before facing the door
"Hope, when did you get back?" She asked her softly as she tried to regain her composure. Her eyes casted over the young girl in front of her and noticed what she was wearing black shoes, black dress , black cardigan obviously just getting back from the goodbye send off they had for her fallen father and uncle back in New Orleans
"Just a little while ago Aunt Bekah dropped me off it was a beautiful send off" Hope replied her voice wavering slightly "I was hoping you would of came he would I wanted you to be there" She stated tears entering her eyes as she looked towards her head mistress with a solemn expression on her face. She knew of her father's affections towards her and she was pretty sure the blonde reciprocated them as well all you had to do was witness the looks of longing that passed between the two but I guess now she will never know.
Caroline stood up at that as she made her way over to the broken teenager in front of her she was barely sixteen and she had lost both of her parents she could imagine the kind of pain she was in right now due to her losing her own mother and father but losing them both at the age Hope was was something else entirely. She made a promise to herself then and there and to Klaus aswel that she would always protect his daughter treat her as her own that she will always be there for her when she needed her "I'm sure it was Hope, your father and uncle would of been so proud and would of been right by your side the whole time" She spoke as she brought her into her arms and comforted the young girl "It was time for family I already said my goodbye" She said whispering the last part. The truth was she didn't want to intrude it was a family thing and they deserved to say goodbye in private but the main reason she didn't stay for the send off was because the first goodbye was hard enough when she kissed him one finale time and walked away and never looked back she couldn't bare that kind of pain...not again.
A/N - Sorry once again for how short this was but it's more of a prologue, I'll get another chapter up as soon as I can X
