Don't Lose Hope: Sequel for I Knew You Were Trouble When You Walked In
Chapter 1: For Everyone
The compound was full with people.
The gang from Mystic Falls was already in there, their stuff in the rooms.
Elijah was clearing his throat. No one paid attention to him.
"Guys shut up!" called Hayley.
Everybody stared at her in silence.
Elijah smirked at her. "Well, hello. Since you are all here, I guess I don't need to tell you about Toni." He started.
"Where is she?" called Davina. Elijah stared at Davina that was standing with Josh. "She has her own assignment, out of here, but she left us a note and a letter," said Elijah.
"What's in the letter?" asked Alaric. "We don't know yet, it's blank until everyone will be here, Toni left us a list," said Hayley.
"Magic," mumbled someone.
"Who is missing?" asked Stefan. "Nicklaus," said Elijah in a sigh. "Where is he?" asked Stefan. "In his studio, he didn't come out since last night," said Elijah. Stefan nodded. "May I?" he asked. Elijah showed him the way and left them alone.
"Hello mate, long time not see," said Klaus. He was in a middle of a huge painting. "She is gorgeous," said Stefan. "Yes, this is my Toni," said Klaus and turned around to look at Stefan.
He looked extremely tired, and surprised to see that Stefan looks pretty much the same. "What's wrong with you? And why are you here? Why all the supernatural people from Mystic Falls are in here?" asked Klaus.
"Damon is dead, and the other side collapsed with him and Bonnie in it. My best friend Lexi too. And why we are here? Well your girlfriend asked us to help you and your family to get the city back, so we are here," said Stefan. "Sorry for your lose mate." Said Klaus turning back to his painting.
Stefan grabbed Klaus by his shirt and threw him off the balcony.
Elijah stared at Stefan. "What? You wanted him down here, so here he is," said Stefan getting down the stairs. Klaus tried to jump on Stefan, but was pinned to the floor by Jeremy. Klaus blinked rapidly.
"Get off me Gilbert boy," said Klaus angrily. "Your girlfriend is doing her best for us, I will not let you interrupting us to do our part in the bargain," said Jeremy and pulled him to a standing position.
"What the hell are you talking about?" asked Klaus. "Toni is working on a spell to fix the other side and pulling back Bonnie and Damon," said Jeremy. Klaus frowned. "She sent you over here? You are our backup?" asked Klaus, half laughing.
Jeremy gave Elijah an apologetic look and snapped Klaus' neck. "Well, you all are more than welcome to stay in here until my brother will come back to life, and then we will read Toni's letter." Said Elijah.
Everyone came back to talking and getting to know each other.
"Mr. Gilbert, a word if you may," said Elijah. Jeremy followed him to the study. "That was impressive," said Elijah. Jeremy shrugged. "I was one of the five, I still have my powers," said Jeremy. "And you are an artist, if I recall correctly," said Elijah. "Your point?" asked Jeremy. "I want you to let my brother enjoy your company," said Elijah, while pouring a drink.
He suggested one to Jeremy that took it and down it at once. Elijah frowned at him. "Too many vampires; my instincts telling me to rip you a part, all of you." He answered to his questioning stare.
"Elijah, you are here," said Hayley. "I am here," he said softly, his eyes shining. She hugged him, and he warped an arm around her. She looked worse than Klaus and Stefan together.
"I am not sure I can babysit your brother," summarized Jeremy. "You are the perfect option. Artist that he can't kill, he already suffered the hunter's curse, he wouldn't try it again," said Elijah. "Fine, I will try," said Jeremy. "Thank you," said Elijah.
"Ho and I am taking your bourbon," said Jeremy. Elijah smiled at him.
"Jeremy what the hell?" asked Elena, pointing at the bottle of bourbon. It was half an hour later.
"I am trying not to kill my sister, my friends and any other vampire around here, so leave me alone." Said Jeremy.
Klaus woke up not long later. He jumped at Jeremy that threw him on the wall.
"I am one of the five, remember?" said Jeremy. "You are different than what I remembered," said Klaus, growling. "Losing your girlfriend and your close friend at once does it to you," said Jeremy, grimly. Elena tried to hug him but he pushed her away.
"I am not a baby so stop treating me like one," said Jeremy. "I lost my boyfriend too," said Elena. "I am too busy to feel sorry for you," said Jeremy. "Jeremy you are drunk," said Stefan. "So?" said Jeremy.
Elena grabbed his bottle and he shoved her on the wall, a stake in his hand. He stared in her eyes. "Don't push me," he whispered dangerously and walked away from her.
When they were all together again ready to hear Toni's letter, Jeremy was standing next to Davina, as far away from Josh and the other vampires that he could. Davina kept him calm after promising that she is capable of stopping him if he will lose control.
"It's still blank," said Hayley and handed the letter to Elijah. He looked at the letter once and then smiled.
He handed the letter to Klaus. At his light touch words formed on the paper.
"My love,
'I knew you were trouble when you walked in…'
But now you will need all the help you can get to make the city a safe place for your little girl.
Don't worry, the compound is hexed. If anyone will try to expose that the baby is alive, his memory about her will be gone.
Now, I suspects that the new harvest girl is your mother, I can't be sure, but I didn't want to take the chance, so she wasn't in my list.
I don't trust Oliver either.
Mikael is there somewhere; he is dangerous and can't be trusted.
I will keep all my promises, to you my love, and to everybody else.
But I need all of you to promise me something.
Work together, no more deals and side deals.
Stay safe and never lose your hope.
Yours,
Antonia Acosta de Rice."
Klaus finished reading the letter aloud.
"She wrote it as who she is," stated Stefan. Everyone looked at him. "Bonnie told us that Toni is like a princess of the witches' world. She gave us information, but it's like she also gave us orders to follow, like a princess." Explained Stefan.
"I didn't understand Mikael part," said Klaus.
"She tried to warn us without giving me away," said Davina, stepping forward. "What that supposed to mean?" asked Kol. "I was the one that gave him his life back," said Davina.
Klaus leap forward but Jeremy moved to protect Davina. "I maybe drank but I am still a hunter," said Jeremy. Klaus growled. "Brother, step back please. Davina doesn't know our history with Mikael, as she doesn't know that if you are dead, your bloodline dies with you," said Elijah.
Davina gaped and turned to Josh. "Josh I am so sorry, I didn't know!" she whimpered. "It's o.k. seriously," said Josh, hugging her.
"You don't know where he is, do you?" asked Elijah. "Of course that I know. He is locked in the same attic that I was locked in," said Davina.
At the same time Rebecca, Toni and little Hope got on a plan to New-York.
