Part 1 of 2
I was sitting in the middle of her bed surrounded in a pile of tissues, eating a pint of strawberry ice cream while watching the Notebook for like the zillionth time. I stuff my spoon into the carton trying to scoop out more ice cream, only to come up empty. I held it up and saw that I had run out of ice cream... again... I grunted while getting up to retrieve another carton. Caroline had taken away the mini freezer I had set up in my room saying if I kept eating so much my waist line would begin expanding or something like that. The thing was I think she didn't want me to deprive Mystic Falls of their ice cream, because I never heard of a fat vampire.
I went to the basement of the Salvatore Boarding House using my phone as a flashlight. I nearly jumped out my nonexistent socks when my phone trilled saying I was receiving a call. I looked at the caller ID and contemplated letting it go to voicemail. I decided I didn't want to risk the wrath of an angry Mikaelson so I accepted the call. "What do you want Rebekah?" I asked into the phone while pulling the freezer door open. "E-Elena? I-I didn't know who else to call..." The broken voice of Klaus' strong willed sister rang through my ear. "Rebekah, are you alright?" I asked while grabbing some more ice cream. "You need to meet me at the school Elena I need to talk to you. I need your help Elena." I was blown away. An Original needed my help? "I'll be there in half an hour." I confirmed, but before I could hang up I heard the semi muffled voice of Rebekah through the line. "Don't tell anyone where you're going Elena." Rebekah warned. "I won't." I said before hanging up the phone. I dropped the ice cream back into the freezer promising that I would be back and we would finish the Notebook.
I ran up the stairs showering, drying my hair and brushing it out before throwing it up in a ponytail. I dressed in a pair of ripped skinny jeans and one of Damon's t-shirts. I pulled a hoodie over that and laced up my converse before getting in my Escape and heading down to the school.
When I arrived she saw a single car in the student parking lot which was odd because usually there would be at least a few cars of people who had things they needed to get done. "Elena I'm glad you came." My head snapped toward the blond Original who was now leaning against the side of the red convertible. "Yeah you sounded like you really needed to talk." I smiled slightly something I hadn't done in quite a long time. "I need your help Elena I can't do this by myself and you're the only person I even slightly trust. I'll tell you the whole story once we're on the road." Rebekah looked at me judging whether or not I'd actually go with her. I nodded slightly before moving closer. Rebekah opened the back door of the convertible where I caught sight of a booster seat. I cautiously moved closer and once I was right near the car I looked at the child, the baby that stared back at me. "Whose child is this Rebekah?" I looked back at the blond who stood behind me smiling at the baby. "Klaus', but listen, we don't have much time. Sooner or later your friends will come looking for you and they can't find her." I nodded before getting in the passenger side of the car. "Let's go." Rebekah smiled while getting into the driver side. "Where are we going?" I asked while turning in my seat to see Klaus' child. She had his eyes, but I couldn't place her other features. "Somewhere my family has never been before. There are very few places, but I found one in Idaho. It's far away from any of our previous lives. We need to get my witch to place a cloaking spell on us though so we are invisible." I nodded in understanding. "So can you tell me what her name is and how exactly she's alive?" I questioned while playing with the child. "Her name is Hope. And as for her birth... Well I suppose I should tell you. As you know my brother went to New Orleans, but what you don't know is why. A very powerful coven of witches that practice ancestral magic were plotting the downfall of vampires. A vampire by the name of Marcel had taken everything my family had worked for and made it his own." I held on to every word she said as she recounted everything that has been going on in New Orleans in the past year. "So Hayley got pregnant through a one night stand with Klaus and almost got killed by a psycho bunch of witches that believed if they sacrificed Hope they would gain more magic? Yes Rebekah I'll help you protect this child. We need to get to Idaho fast." I nodded a look of determination on her face. "We're going to stop in Colorado for a close witch friend of mine to perform the cloaking spell. She said that once she's done she will make herself forget with a witch's herb that has amnesic purposes. We will be safe." Rebekah said while smiling at me.
~oO1 Day LaterOo~
We arrived at the witch's house a day later. After many stops to feed and change Hope we managed to get to Colorado without any lurking threats. Rebekah had switched over to the passenger seat around four in the morning when she looked like she was about to pass out from exhaustion. She said we could spend the night at a motel or something, but I insisted on driving because we needed to get to Colorado ASAP.
Rebekah walked up the front steps of the house with me following close behind with Hope cradled in my arms. "If something happens I want you to take Hope as far away from here as you can." Rebekah gave me a warning look as if to say if I didn't I would be in deep guano. "Sure thing Bekah." I smiled reassuringly. Rebekah rang the doorbell and a few seconds later a witch with dark auburn hair and light blue eyes opened the door. "Ah Rebekah Mikaelson." The witch smiled pulling the Original vampire into a tight embrace. When she looked at Hope and I her smile faltered. "Katherine Pierce! Rebekah you brought Katherine Pierce to my home!" The witch began an incantation which made my brain feel like it was melting. I struggled to keep a safe hold on Hope as the witch gave me a brain aneurism. "Val please stop she's not Katherine! Her name is Elena Gilbert and she is another Petrova doppelganger." That statement made the searing pain stop and I clutched Hope to my chest in a protective manner. "I'm sorry that was so rude of me!" The witch Rebekah had called Val said apologetically. "Wouldn't be the first time someone mistook me for Katherine." Elena shrugged while rocking Hope lightly. "We should get inside. Val you know you can hide us?" Rebekah asked while looking at the witch. "Yes." Val said while leading us into the house.
The entire process was odd, but when it was done Val did a locator spell on Rebekah and the map didn't show anything. "You should go it's almost been over forty-eight hours since I've learned of this and the herb only works for things that I've learned before the forty-eight hours are up." Rebekah nodded while grabbing Hope from Val's arms. "Stay safe Val." Val nodded in acknowledgment to her friends kind words. I followed Rebekah out the door making sure we didn't forget anything.
It was probably close to 8pm when we left the witch's house. We still had over fourteen hours before we get to the property Rebekah had bought in my name. I started driving this time and around 2am I asked Rebekah to take over. I jumped in the backseat with Hope. I smiled at the child who was sleeping peacefully. "You know I'd never guess she came from the same bloodline as Klaus." I chuckled quietly so I don't wake the sleeping angel. "You know I basically said the same thing to Klaus when I first met this little miracle, but he said something to me that made I could see. She will have Klaus' fiery attitude, hopefully without his slightly homicidal tendencies." I couldn't help but agree. Hope was as strong willed as her father. "Yeah, she's going to be his salvation." I felt my eyes droop as I fell into a nice bliss.
I woke up later when the car came to a halt. I shot up and saw that Rebekah had parked in front of a huge house. It was a two story with a wraparound porch and two marble columns that were on either side of the huge double doors. There was a large bay window on the second floor and two balconies on either side. All in all it was a beautiful house. The rising sun glowed from the backside of the house giving it an unearthly glow. "Wow... And this is my house?" I asked while grabbing Hope out of her seat. "Yes. This will be your place from now on. Consider it my thank you gift." Rebekah opened the front doors. Let me just say that if I thought the outside of the house was adorable I was dead wrong. The inside of the house was absolutely magnificent. There are two grand staircases that lead to the second floor. "The nursery is on the second floor. Our rooms are nearby in case something happens. We need to protect this child with our lives. My family, especially Klaus has many enemies. This child is a hybrid Elena Klaus could use her blood to sire a whole new line of hybrids." Probably seeing the disgusted look on my face Rebekah continued. "He promised he wouldn't use her blood." I looked at the poor child who had the demonic hybrid as her father. "Wait if she's immortal will she simply stay in her baby form?" I asked confused. "No, she will grow until she is eighteen." Rebekah explained. "I have never heard of anything like this..." I shook my head while looking at the child who had her fate ripped away from her from the moment she entered this world. "I feel bad for her Rebekah. She never even got to decide she wanted this it was just shoved upon her." I frowned, ascending the stairs and taking Hope to her nursery. "Elena I can't talk with Klaus or Elijah, but I need to send them a message that we're safe. Can you go send them a message just saying that we're safe. Don't expose anything and when you're done smash the phone and dump it. I'll buy you a new one." I nodded before rushing out of the house. I knew that if someone were desperate enough to kill a defenseless baby they wouldn't be afraid to pull up phone records.
9:33am. We are fine. -Elena
9:40am. I understand thank you love. -Klaus
I then dropped my phone on the ground and smashed it to bits, making sure the SIM card was one hundred percent smashed. I then dumped the remainder of the phone into a nearby stream. I heard the fizzling of the components as the water shorted them out. I then headed back to the mansion and to Rebekah and Hope. I walked into the house and heard the two of them in the nursery. Rebekah was telling Hope the end of a story. "The king, in his sorrow, turned away from the world. The castle closed its doors, and the kingdom fell. Some say that the only light that shines in the castle illuminates the shadow of the once majestic king in the room meant for his child. But, as the ruthless beasts took rule over the fallen king's realm, little did they know that he and his brother would not rest until their enemies were vanquished. For, they believed that one day, they would heal their kingdom and bring their precious princess home, so that she might live happily ever after." Rebekah looked over at me as she set Hope down in the crib. "Nice fairy tale." I murmured while leaving the nursery. "It's our story from the past year." Rebekah hummed. "I noticed. I realized something. Our lives could literally be a fairy tale." I frowned wishing it were that easy. "Yeah, but it's not. It's our reality and soon it's going to be hers too. The only thing we can do is prepare her for what she is going to have to deal with when she is older. She will always have her family to take care of her, but she needs to be able to protect herself as well." Rebekah then went into her room leaving me to my devices. I thought of just telling Caroline that I was going out of town for a while when I remembered my phone was drowning in a stream. I sighed in irritation before heading to bed to go have a nap. It had been a very long trip.
