Homecoming
Hope's POV
Me and my Auntie Bex were driving to New Orleans so I could finally meet my parents. My aunt would always tell me stories about how they had to send me away to protect me. Now after 13 years the city is finally safe for me to come back too. My aunt also already told me about vampires, werewolves, witches, and the other supernatural beings that roam around the earth. I haven't triggered anything yet which I guess is a good thing.
We have been driving for about 5 hours and I am exhausted. I decided to close my eyes and rest for a little bit.
Hayley's POV
Rebekah had just called and told us that she and Hope were just getting to New Orleans so they would arrive at the compound in about 20 minutes. Me, Klaus and Elijah all walked to the front of the compound waiting nervously for them to arrive. Klaus was standing next to me so I held his hand in mine. He looked into my eyes and smiled.
"It will be fine Hayley." He said trying to reassure me.
"I just feel bad that you're getting her right as she became a teenager. All those hormones... Yikes!" We all looked to see Marcel walking in to wait with us. We all laughed at his comment, but I think we are all glad we can just have her back.
After waiting for a while we finally saw a red convertible pull up. I could see Rebekah in the drivers seat and in the one next to her, I saw young girl with long brown hair sleeping peacefully... my Hope. Me and Klaus looked at each other more nervous that ever. We were brought out of our moment when we heard a car door shut closed. We looked to see Rebekah walking towards us and she pulled me and Klaus into a tight hug. Then she hugged Marcel and Elijah.
"Hope is sleeping in the car, it was a long drive. I know you all want to talk to her but I think it's best if you let her sleep. She can be very grouchy when she is woken up." She said mainly directing her statement towards me and Klaus. We nodded knowing it was best if she slept.
"I will carry her to her room so she can sleep more comfortably." Klaus said walking to the car. I knew he just wanted to see her face so I let him. I followed behind him and he opened the door slowly. Klaus bent down and put his arm under her legs and another under her back and picked her up bridal style lifting her out of the car. She stirred a little bit but didn't wake up. The others waited downstairs as me and Klaus took her to the room we had made for her thanks to Rebekah's text telling us what she likes.
I opened the door for Klaus and he carried her over to her bed. I pulled back the covers and he gently laid her down so he didn't wake her up. I walked to the end of the bed and slowly pulled her shoes off. Then we pulled the covers back over her and kissed her forehead. She still had the innocence and purity in her face that was there the day she was born. We then walked out making sure to close the door behind us.
Hope's POV
When I woke up I realized that I was no longer in the car. I didn't have my eyes open yet and I could feel the soft sheets beneath me and the thick, soft blanket keeping me warm. I opened my eyes and looked around not knowing where I was. It looked like a bedroom. The last thing I remembered was being in the car with Auntie Bex and falling asleep.
I was still taking in my surroundings when I saw some wall-art on the wall that said Hope in big block letters that were decorated in flowers... this must be my bedroom. I looked out the window and it looked like it was about six in the morning. I also noticed my bag on the bedside table next to me. Now that I think about it, this room is actually really pretty.
The walls were painted a light turquoise color, which happens to be my favorite color. The bed I was lying on had a comforter with flowers covering it. There was a chandelier hanging from the ceiling and there was a TV on the wall across from me. There was a sitting area in one of the corners and a couple bookshelves with books and little nicknacks. It was my dream room. There were three doors that caught my eye, one of them I guessed led into the hallway. I opened another one and inside was a huge bathroom with all the essentials. I opened the last door and it was a giant walk in closet filled with shoes and clothes, along with jewelry. I was totally amazed.
My exploring of my new room was cut short by my stomach growling. 'I hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon so I should probably eat', I thought. I walked out of my bedroom door and into the hallway, realizing that I didn't know where the kitchen was. After a few minutes of quietly walking around trying not to wake anyone, I finally found the kitchen, but there were already two people in it... making out... a lot.
I started backing out slowly so that they didn't hear or see me, but I accidentally backed into a wall and banged my head causing me to let out a squeal of pain and shock. Instantly I covered my mouth but it was to late. I looked up and the two people were staring at me with blank expressions and wide eyes. The girl had brown hair like mine and hazel eyes. The guy had blonde hair and really blue eyes.
"I'm sorry- I... I didn't mean to interrupt. I ju- I just was looking for the kitchen." I started stuttering getting more and more nervous as the moment got more and more awkward.
"It's ok. You didn't do anything wrong." The girl said. As she was talking and looking at me her eyes started watering along with the man who she was making out with a couple of minutes ago. Then, unexpectedly she ran up to me and embraced me into a hug. After a few seconds I started to put together the pieces. The way they resembled me, the way they started getting teary eyed meeting me... these were my parents.
"Mom?" I asked as she was still hugging me. I looked towards the man and he nodded his head giving me confirmation. I felt the tears start welling up in my eyes as I hugged her back. When she let go of me I looked back at the man guessing he must be my dad.
"I take it you're my dad." I said as more of a question. He nodded his head and I ran up to him throwing my arms around his neck in a big hug. Once we were finished hugging I stepped back.
"Well that was a weird way of meeting my parents." I said letting out a light chuckle. Before they could reply my aunt and two other guys that I haven't met before walked in. One of them came up and gave me a hug and then looked at me.
"I'm your uncle Elijah." He said with a smile that I returned. Then the other man came and hugged me also.
"I am Marcel, your... well I don't really know." He said letting out a laugh.
"Think of me as your coolest uncle." He said afterwards. We all looked around and then Rebekah broke the silence.
"Are you hungry, Hope? I can make you some breakfast." She asked. But remembering what I witnessed walking in kinda made me loose any interest in food at the moment.
"I pretty much lost my appetite when I walked in here." I said leaving out the gory details. Everyone looked at me with confused eyes except for Klaus and Hayley who just looked ashamed. When everyone else noticed my parents facial expressions Marcel spoke up.
"Really you two, in the kitchen... again?" He said accusingly. Klaus and Hayley looked at the floor embarrassed by their actions. We all laughed.
I like my family all ready.
