I had intended to get this up yesterday, but circumstances prevented me from doing so.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! IT MEANS A LOT!
Please remember to review at the end! :)
Hope sniffed as she stared out of the window. Her mom was missing, and her dad was angry. She had never seen him this angry, and she couldn't blame him.
She felt a hand on her shoulders, and she slowly turned to find her Aunt kneeling behind her. With a small cry, she leapt into Rebekah's arms, and cried.
"It's going to be okay, Hope." Rebekah whispered, holding her close.
Hope nodded, and let the tears fall down her face, faster and harder than before. She never voiced it, but if they didn't find Caroline soon, the family would be lost to darkness, with no hope of pulling them out.
Not without Caroline.
And it was all because of her mother.

Klaus dug the knife further into the werewolf's stomach, and lifted his eyes to the ceiling as the man cried out. "Tell me what I want to know." He growled out through gritted teeth.
The man groaned, and clenched his teeth together.
Klaus smirked, and slammed the dagger deeper into the stomach. "I don't think I heard you." He whispered, twisting the dagger in his stomach.
He groaned, and clenched his eyes. "Jonathon…Jonathon knows." He whispered, finally.
Klaus smirked, and pulled the dagger out, and wiped it across the man's face. "Where may I find this Jonathon?" He asked, a dark look appearing in his eyes.
The man groaned, and swallowed hard. "Bourbon street…Coffey's." He whispered, softly.
Klaus smiled, and nodded. "Thank you." He whispered, taking the dagger, and jabbed into the man's neck, allowing the blood to coat his hand as it dripped down his arm.
He pulled the dagger out, and dropped it on the floor, and casually walked out of the room.

Bonnie shook her head, and looked at the phone in her hands. She bit her bottom lip, and closed her eyes.
"You are going to have to call sooner or later." Kol remarked, coming up behind her.
"How did you know I was going to?" She asked, turning her head to look at him.
He smiled, and touched her face with his right hand. "I can tell by your face." He whispered, holding her eyes.
She sighed, and lowered her face to glance at her phone. "We need help, Kol." She whispered, shaking her head.
He sighed, and shook his head. "Nik will find her, lass." He whispered, close to her ear.
She closed her eyes, hoping that her face told him all he needed to know. "Kol…"
"Bonnie," He began, stopping her words. "Nik is searching for her, and he will not stop until he does. You know that." He added, turning her to face him.
She nodded, and her thumb hovered over the name on her screen. "What do I say?" She asked, lifting her eyes to his.
Kol groaned, knowing there was no way to stop her. "Keep it simple." He answered, roughly.
She nodded, as if that was the only solution for their predicament, and held his eyes as she hit the name on the screen.
She read his mild anger as she waited for the person on the other side to pick up, and sighed as it stopped ringing.
"I need help." She replied, watching Kol clench his jaw. "I'm in New Orleans." She added; as he listened to the person ask her why she was there.
"Because my family is down here, and we need your help." She remarked, watching Kol's eyes widen, slightly at her words.
"Caroline has been taken." She added, shaking her head. "No, he didn't do it." She paused, and closed her eyes. "Yes, I'm sure he didn't." She added, firmly. "This has to do with his daughter." She remarked, feeling a hand brush over her face. She opened her eyes, and found Kol's brown eyes full of sadness.
"Please just come and help." She replied, softly. "I'll send you the address when you get here." She added, nodding her head. "Yes, I'm being careful." She remarked, smiling. "I've got my own personal bodyguard." She added, searching his brown eyes, watching them fill with mischief.
"I'll see you soon." She added, ending the call, still holding his eyes.
"Did you mean it?" He asked, stepping closer to her.
"Mean what?" She asked, lifting her head slightly so she could see into his eyes.
"That this was your family." He answered, watching her smile, before biting her bottom lip.
She felt a blush hit her cheeks, and she tried to lower her eyes, but he held them with his brown orbs. "I meant it." She whispered, feeling his left hand stroke her skin.
He smiled, and bent his head slightly, coming down until his forehead touched hers. "You're right, you know." He whispered, his breathe brushing against her lips. "I am going to protect you." He whispered, feeling her laugh, lightly.
"I know, Kol." She whispered, placing her hands on his chest. "Even though I can take care of myself," She added, in a whisper.
He smiled, and rubbed his forehead against hers. "I don't doubt that." He whispered, remembering when they first met.
She smiled, and tilted her head to the side. "Kol, I…" She began, pressing her nails lightly into his chest.
He closed his eyes, and waited, hoping for the words she would say. "Bonnie," He whispered, pulling back, only to feel her lips crash onto his in a passionate, deep filled kiss.
He clung to her, bringing her body closer to his, and opened his mouth to deepen the kiss in a wild touch.
Bonnie heard his moan deep within his throat, and smiled against his lips. Even with the tragedy that was surrounding them, she wanted so much to voice the feelings that filled her heart for him, but now was not the right time, so instead, she kissed him.
And kissed him.
Until she needed to pull back, and gather the air that had been taken from her lungs.
Kol searched her green orbs, and smiled, lightly. "We'll get her back, Bonnie." He whispered, in a strong vow.
She nodded, and smiled. "I know, Kol." She whispered, touching her left hand on his face. "Hold me." She whispered, feeling the tears burn her eyes.
Kol nodded, and gathered her up in his arms, and held her. The words he had wanted to hear lay on deaf ears, but for some reason he knew what she had meant through her lips. Closing his eyes, he hoped they would find Caroline.
They had to.

The doors to the office flew off the hinges, and a skinny, dark haired man stood up from the desk. His body shook with fear as the most feared man in New Orleans entered his office.
"Jonathon, I assume." Klaus remarked, his voice dark and unwavering.
Jonathon swallowed, hard, and slowly nodded. "Yes, sir, what can I do for you?" He asked, his voice shaking.
Klaus smirked, and approached him, carefully. "Someone precious has been taken from me, and I want her back." He whispered, smelling the fear coming off the man's body.
Jonathon nodded, and swallowed once again. "I'm…I'm sorry to hear that." He whispered, moving his blue eyes around the room.
Klaus nodded, and reached his left hand out, to grasp him by the throat, before slamming him against the wall. "A certain werewolf," He began, feeling Jonathon struggle beneath his grasp. "Informed me that you are the person I needed to find, because you know where she is, and why they took her." He added, squeezing his throat ever so slightly.
Jonathon clenched his eyes shut, and slowly nodded. "I only know….rumors." He whispered, in a strained voice.
Klaus clicked his tongue, and squeezed the man's throat harder. "Not good enough." He whispered, darkly.
Jonathon gasped, and opened his eyes. "I swear…" He gasped out. "I only heard that someone wanted the blonde woman with the soul full of light." He whispered, shaking his head. "The other hybrid…" He began, reluctantly. "Came to me…told me that she wanted her out of her daughter's life…" He added, gasping as Klaus tightened his hold. "I wouldn't do it." He whispered, shaking his head.
Klaus gritted his teeth, and stared into the man's eyes. "Who took her?" He asked, firmly.
Jonathon swallowed, as best he could, and lifted his eyes to the ceiling. "If it was a werewolf, it would be her, but if it was another…" He began, sadly. "You're too late." He added, hoping that satisfied the Hybrid.
Klaus growled, and snapped the man's neck, allowing his body to hit the floor, as he lifted his face to the ceiling.
Shaking his head, he let the tears fall down his face, and slowly backed out of the room. "I'm coming, Caroline." He whispered, stepping out of the building into the cool night air. "I'm coming."

Hope stared off into the night, wishing her dad would come home for some kind of news. She feared the night would come with no good news, and her heart tugged in her small chest.
She turned her head, when the door opened, and she rushed into her daddy's arms, tears falling down her face. "Daddy," She whispered, wrapping her arms around her daddy's neck.
Klaus clenched his eyes shut, and wished he had better news to tell his little girl. "I know, little light." He whispered, shaking his head.
She cried into her daddy's shoulder, and hoped he would find her mom, and find her soon. She smelled the blood on his body, and turned her head to nuzzle into the crook of his neck. With a soft sniff, she let the warmth of her dad's body surround her, and slowly, she knew that he would find her mom.
No matter what he had to do to get her back.

Caroline slowly opened her eyes, and found herself in a rock walled room, and memories filled her body that were not pleasant in her eyes.
"I see you are finally awake."
She turned her head, as she stood up, and glared at the woman on the other side of the bars. "Hayley," She whispered, stepping towards the enemy of her love. "What do you want?" She asked, throwing her arms outward.
Hayley shrugged her shoulders. "Personal satisfaction, you out of my daughter's life, and Klaus dead." She stated, shaking her head. "But since killing him would, in turn, kill my daughter, I'll let that honor fall to you." She remarked, stiffly.
Caroline shook her head. "I've done nothing to you." She stated, stepping towards the bars.
Hayley shook her head, and her eyes flashed yellow. "You've taken my daughter from me." She stated in a low growl.
Caroline shook her head, and sighed. "I've done nothing, but love her, and given her what she wanted." She paused, with a smile. "A mother." She added, not fearing when Hayley slammed her hands on the bars.
"I'm her mother!" Hayley growled, loudly.
Caroline shook her head, and glared back. "Not for the past ten years, you haven't been there for her." She stated, roughly.
"That's because, Klaus took her from me!" Hayley shouted, roughly.
"What did he do?" Caroline asked, shaking her head.
Hayley leaned forward, and smirked. "He threatened to kill my family if I didn't give up my motherly ways." She whispered, watching Caroline's eyes widen. "He never told you, did he?" Hayley whispered, with satisfaction, and let out a dark laugh. "Well, now you know." She whispered, stepping back, and walked away.
Caroline sighed, and closed her eyes. She knew Klaus had done something to get Hope for himself, and from what Hayley said, it sounded like something he would do, but for some reason, she felt there was more to it than that, and as soon as she got out of here, she would find out the whole truth.
~XXX~
He sneered as he watched the brunette hybrid walk out of the building where the one with the light was being kept.
He let out a low chuckle, and stepped back, further into the woods. Soon he would have her, and nothing was going to stand in his way.
Not even the little girl.
Please be kind!
I know I said that the new stories would be up today, and I may just do that, but I wanted to wrap up this story first, but I may just go ahead and put them up later today.
It's my first day back to college, so the next update won't come until later this afternoon, but it will come up!
Next Chapter: Caroline fights back; Reinforcements arrive; Klaus arrives a little too late; Hope senses something dark.
Until Next Time...
