Hello! I suddenly had this idea and I had to write it down, which brings us to this. To those of you who are wondering about The Lost Sister, don't worry, I'm currently working on the next chapter, but I had this idea and couldn't keep it to myself!
IMPORTANT INFO: Kol didn't die and instead succeeded in jumping back into his original body which resulted in Rebekah returning to her body as well. Everything up until season 2 is the same but from there, I veer off course so forget everything from season 3.
I do not own the Originals or its characters, simply this specific storyline and any other original character I bring into it.
Please enjoy!
Everything was falling apart in front of Klaus's eyes.
He was on the floor in unbearable pain, pain caused by his dear aunt Dahlia, who was currently succeeding in her plan to get to Hope, because there sat the baby in a car seat. The witch was obviously delighted by her victory, which only made Klaus's anger surge against the pain that Dahlia was inflicting upon him. Because he was the hybrid. He shouldn't be defeated so easily.
And yet he was.
He watched helplessly as Dahlia's fingers brushed against Hope's, and the older witch did something unexpected. She jerked back from the baby, confusion filtering in front of her old eyes.
"What trickery is this?" Klaus heard her ask, but he had no idea why she was acting in such a way. Though, he was glad that Hope was not yet gone from the compound. That meant that there was still time to find a plan to keep her here.
Dahlia's eyes drifted to Klaus's angry ones and she saw that he was confused by her actions. She smiled wickedly.
"You do not know," she said to him tauntingly, resulting in another surge of anger through Klaus. What did he not know?
"Oh Niklaus," the old witch sighed happily. Klaus narrowed his eyes at his full name coming from someone he would never consider family. "If you do not know, then you have made this so much easier for me."
And with that, the witch was gone, and the spell she cast over the writhing siblings was gone, leaving them to stand up in confusion. Hayley rushed over to Hope, taking her out of the car seat to hold her close while Klaus helped Elijah stand up. Rebekah, back into her natural body, helped up their younger brother Kol and their long lost older sister Freya, who was just as confused as the rest were about Dahlia's sudden disappearance. She wouldn't have given up that easily and everyone knew that... so why did she?
"Care to explain Freya?" Klaus growled out, still nervous at how close Hope had been taken from him. Despite some of the times that his siblings thought he had no love for the child, he did. He would protect his family with his life, and that now included his daughter.
"I don't understand..." she said in her older accent, looking at Hope with clear puzzlement. "Dahlia was able to take Hope easily-"
"And yet she didn't," Elijah interrupted, looking to Freya as everyone else was. "Which leads to the question of why she didn't."
Freya blinked and walked closer to Hope, trying to sense what it was the Dahlia had felt. Hayley was a little nervous and asked, "What are you doing," as she hugged Hope closer to herself.
Freya spoke her thoughts as she gazed at the baby's face intently. "I'm trying to find what it was that Dahlia sensed. She found something out that none of us knew about and left so it must have been important to her..." she trailed off as she touched Hope, but this time, she touched with her magic like she had not done before. Suddenly, a flourish of images flashed through Freya's mind of a girl with light brown hair and blue eyes dancing with Niklaus, not so long ago as it seemed through the flashes. That was the only clear picture she got before she broke contact because of her body's jerk from Hope.
Freya was still very confused until it suddenly clicked. "What is it?" Hayley asked, seeing the witch's face clear from her furrowed eyebrows and pursed lips.
Freya was shocked. How could this be? And how did Niklaus not know about it?
"Freya?" Rebekah asked cautiously, successfully snapping the girl out of her thoughts. She turned to Klaus slightly opened mouthed, still trying for the information to sink in.
"Did you know?" she whispered, though with everybody being a vampire, they heard her perfectly.
"Know what?" Klaus asked frustrated. What was he supposed to know that was so important?
"That Hope isn't your first child," Freya finally said, resulting in everybody's surprised gasp. Klaus obviously didn't believe Freya but before he could say anything out of his opening mouth, the older sibling beat him to it. "The witch, Mave Cross, from a few years ago, you had a relationship with her correct?"
Klaus wondered how she gathered this information but nonetheless nodded his head, to which Freya continued.
"She went missing just before Mikael showed up into the town of Paris and you thought that her disappearance was from Father, but it was not."
To this, Klaus cocked his head to the side amused and was about to deny the statement when his annoying sister went on. "She actually left because she was pregnant. And pregnant with your child." She finished, seeing the look of shock and denial on Niklaus's face.
"This is preposterous-" he started but was cut off by another annoying sibling.
"Is it really Nik?" Kol said sarcastically, residing in his own body as well as Rebekah with her and Davina's help. "I mean, I was with you in Paris when we met the magnificent Mave Cross and let me just remind you that her disappearance was a little ubrupt," he finished seriously, knowing that this concerned family and family was everything to the Mikaelsons.
Klaus shook his head angrily, glaring at Freya. "I will not stand here and listen to your lies." He growled out when Elijah stopped him.
"Niklaus if what Freya is saying is true than you have not just one child but two that are your responsibility to protect. And as we stand here arguing, Dahlia is getting closer to taking your first born who you have not yet to meet so I suggest that you think rationally." He paused as Nik stood standing a few feet away with his back facing everyone, the result of him trying to walk out of he room before Elijah stopped him. "Is it, even in the slightest, possible that this Mave Cross could've been pregnant with your child?"
Klaus didn't answer his brother, but his silence was answer enough for his siblings.
"Well then," Elijah concluded, turning to Freya. "We're going to need a locater spell immediately."
Freya nodded, noticing the underlying urgency in Elijah's tone and hurried off to find a map along with the rest of the ingredients for the spell. Meanwhile, Elijah was speaking to Hayley of her and Hope staying at the compound while the rest of the siblings look for this second child. Hayley would have the protection of not only her pack but Marcel and the vampires as well, so the Mikaelsons were not worried about her safety, more of the unknown child's.
"How old do you suppose the child is?" Rebekah asked Kol absentmindedly, still unsure of the child's gender.
"At least 5," Kol answered. "I distinctly remembered her disappearance was only a few years before Nik went to Mysic Falls."
"And how do you know this?" Rebekah asked suddenly, wondering how Kol knew this information. "Weren't you daggered?"
Kol nodded, remembering that stupid dagger. "Yes dear sister but I had a witch do a little spell a while back so that when I did get daggered, I could still see what was happening in the real world. I remember Mave Cross. She was a beauty," Kol said with a smirk at the end. "I wouldn't have minded to-"
"Kol I do not need to know what you're about to say," Rebelah said with closed eyes and her hand up to stop Kol from speaking any more. "Mind you that it is still very uncomfortable for a sister to hear of her brother's... activities."
Kol smirked again at the choice of word but before he could respond sarcastically, Freya rushed in with the ingredients of the spell. She went to a table with the rest of the family following closely and gathering around the map. Freya set everything out and began by grabbing a dagger and holding out her hand to Klaus. "I'm going to need your blood in order for the spell to remotely work," she said in response to his glare.
Klaus sighed and gave Freya his hand, which was sliced opened before pouring out the blood onto the map. Freya let go of Klaus's hand and set the dagger down, raising her hands slightly and chanting the words she knew by heart by now.
She felt the blood draw together and felt power build up and up with the chanting before it suddenly stopped and with that, fire burst onto the map, burning the paper.
Everyone jumped slightly back from the sudden uproar of flames, and looked to Freya who was frowning at the map's remains.
"What the bloody hell happened?" Rebekah asked, knowing full well that that wasn't a part of the spell.
"Something is blocking the child from any kind of magic reaching it," but before someone could complain, she amended. "But that's good, because if my magic can't possibly find it, then Dahlia's can't either. The child is safe, we just have to find it the old fashioned way."
"And what way is that?" Klaus asked, crossing his arms across his chest.
Freya turned to look to him. "Do know of any place that Mave Cross would go to in need of help?"
Klaus had to think for a moment, remembering the English witch that was residing in Paris the day he had met her. There weren't many places that she'd go. Her family died when she was young. Klaus did know that Mave loved open places, which surprised him considering she was living in Paris, but she said that it was only a temporary stay. She commented one day that she loved animals, and informed Klaus of the best area to find them-
Syddenly, Klaus's head snapped up and he grinned mischievously.
"What is it brother?" Elijah asked impatiently.
"I think I know just the place the little witch might've run off to."
Well there's the first chapter. I know it's terribly short but I'll update very soon and with a longer chapter. This was just to get started on the storyline. I hope you like my idea and PLEASE review. It makes me write more ;)
Thanks for reading!
