Mikael had been been with another woman named Dahlia. Dahlia had fallen pregnant and shortly after giving birth to a little girl, Mikael had met Esther. Mikael ended things with Dahlia and took his baby girl, Freya with him. After a whirlwind romance Esther and Mikael were quickly married and had a baby boy just over a year later. Finn grew up adoring his older sister Freya. When Finn was almost four Esther fell pregnant again. However, during this pregnancy Mikael had to leave for a business trip. Dahlia took this opportunity to take back her daughter. When Mikael came back from the trip he was devastated. A few months after Elijah was born Esther once again fell pregnant. They lived with three sons for just over four years before a fourth boy joined. the next child came 11 months later, a little girl that was adored by all of her brothers. It was another six and a half years before the next and final child joined the family.
Esther and Mikael had made the decision to not tell the rest of the children about the oldest child Freya. If Finn had ever brought up Freya they told him they don't know who she is and she must have been an imaginary friend. However, Finn knew he was right and once Elijah was old enough to understand he told him about her. Each new sibling was told but was also made to never bring her up around their parents. They had made a pact to one day find her. However, over the years as they got older and each went different ways in life the pact fell apart.
The brothers were frozen, still hugging each other, staring at their sister. Truth be told they had all forgotten about the pact they had made as children. "It's okay, we all forgot that pact. Well, not all of us. A few months ago I was on the phone w- with Rik. He was going on about how he can't stop thinking about her." She stopped to gauge her brothers reactions. The four of them never said anything. They just stood up and made there way to sit on the edge of the bed. "He asked for some money for a private investigator, so I figured there isn't any harm in trying, but the day it happened he said he had something to tell me and I think he might have found something and I'm sorry I never mentioned it until now but I've just remembered and I need help because I think he might have the information in this room but I don't want to move anything because it's his an- and" Rebekah broke down crying, once again falling to the floor. This time it was Finn who went to comfort her. Her held her in his arms rocking her until her sobbing stopped. Once she stopped crying he started whispering in her ear comforting words, half needing them for himself.
During this Elijah had stood up and walked over to Henrik's desk. Glancing over the desk he notices a brown envelope with an 'R' on the front. Gently picking it up he pulls out the paper from inside. Klaus moves to stand next to his brother, reading over his shoulder.
The documents showed Freya's birth certificate, Dahlia's death certificate, some notes from the PI and an image of an ultrasound. Klaus took the image from Elijah and took a few steps away. While Elijah looked over the notes Kol joined Klaus looking at the image. It was dated two months ago. As Klaus was about to speak Elijah threw the papers on the floor in a rage.
"Nothing!" His siblings looked at him in shock, Elijah wasn't one to lose his temper easily. "Dahlia changed her name, got married and changed it again. Records are sealed after that. There's nothing but a number for another PI. This is useless." Klaus looked at Elijah and saw something he had never seen in his brother before. Defeat.
"Brother, you can't lose hope now. It might take multiple PI's but we will find our sister." The siblings looked at Klaus with a mixture of hope, grief and shock. Klaus was many things, but never was he the one to have the most hope. "Give me the number." Klaus snapped at Elijah who handed it over. Pulling his phone Klaus dialled the number. After ringing for a while it went to voicemail, "Hello, I've been given this number with the knowledge you might be able to find my long lost sister. Call me back. My name is Klaus."
The siblings lapsed back into silence eventually moving back downstairs to watch a movie together as they knew sleep would be a challenge.
A/N thanks for reading! I don't think I'm going to have a schedule for this. It will just be something I update when I have free time.
