Klaus, Caroline and Larisa sat in silence waiting for news about what was happening with the body transition. The door behind them burst open as the back of Kol as he made his way through the door with Stefan and Damon behind him. He and Stefan were carrying a huge mahogany casket. While Damon carried a bag in his hand.
They placed the casket in the middle of the room.
''Got to say sweetheart, you're not the lightest thing in the world'' Kol mocked as he looked around the room. Stefan's eyes went wide as he saw words begin to appear in the dust that covered the windows.
'Thanks Uncle Kol. Love you too' the message read. Kol chuckled reading the message. His laughter died down as he saw Klaus stand from the chair he had been sitting on and walk towards the casket. Everyone in the room watched as he ran his fingers over the gold plate at the top of the casket that had the word Larisa engraved onto it. The pain on his face was something that Kol had never seen before from his brother. Klaus' hand travelled down until they got to the bottom of the lid. He slowly undid the lock before he pushed the lid up to reveal Larisa's body. The grey veins along her legs and arms were gone, her mouth was open slightly. Her light blonde hair was spread along the coffin like golden fire. Her blue eyes were closed in a state of sleep. He brushed his fingers light along her forehead, tucking away a curl that was hanging on her face. He turned as he heard another message being written on the window. He smiled as he read the message.
'Soon dad. I'll be back in my body soon'. The smile on Klaus' face gave Caroline a slight feeling of relief as she knew how lost he was without his daughter.
''I know sweetheart but unfortunately patience is not a quality of mine'' Klaus smiled over towards the window.
''Believe me, we know'' Kol laughed placing a hand onto Klaus' shoulder. The each spun round as the door opened to see Rebekah and Katherine standing there. It made Klaus nervous that Bonnie was not with them. Rebekah walked into the room holding a piece of paper out to him.
''Bonnie's written down the spell and Elijah called to say that he's found a witch who's willing to do it as long as we protect her from the werewolves that are after her'' Rebekah said handing the spell to Klaus who took the piece of paper before reading over the spell.
''right so all we have to do is wait until Elijah gets here then Larisa will be back in her body'' Caroline smiled looking over towards Klaus in encouragement.
''can you please shut that, it's beginning to creep me out'' Katherine said pointing over towards the coffin where Larisa's body lay.
''Nope it needs to be open for Jessica to do the spell'' a deep, calm voice called from the doorway. Everyone spun round to face Elijah standing with a woman with jet black hair that was cut into a bob with daring green eyes that glared around at everyone in the room. ''Jessica, this is my brother Niklaus, he is Larisa's father'' Elijah said
Jessica walked forward and extended her hand out towards Klaus. ''Pleasure to finally meet you Klaus. You're quite famous amongst us witches'' she smiled. Klaus looked down at her hand cautiously before placing his hand into his. He gasped as he felt an electric shock shoot up his arm. He tried to pull his hand away but he couldn't. He looked in horror as Jessica's eyes turned black. ''Your daughter means a lot to you Klaus. Through the blackness of your sole, she is the one who helps you to the light. But she isn't the only one'' Jessica turned her head to stare towards Caroline who looked between Klaus and Jessica in slight shock and confusion. Jessica gasped as she tore her hand from Klaus' and smirked towards him in an arrogant manner.
''My brother said you have a few werewolves after you?'' Rebekah said looking towards Jessica who spun to face the female originals.
''Unfortunately, yes. A spell went wrong and now they are after me. I need protection from them, you help me and I'll bring your daughter back'' Jessica smiled.
''We'll help you with anything you need, just please give me back my daughter'' Klaus said almost begging the witch. His siblings looked towards him in shock.
''Did he just say please?'' Kol whispered down towards Rebekah who sniggered under her breath causing Klaus glare towards both of them. Klaus looked to his right hand as he felt the all familiar coldness upon it signalling that Larisa is there. Jessica smiled down at their hands before her eyes moved up to the empty space beside him.
''I promise I will get you back child. If you could please go and stand next to the casket'' Jessica said pointing over towards the coffin in the middle of the room. Klaus felt his heart grow colder as the coldness in his hand slipped away and it soon began heating up. ''Klaus, I need a drop of your blood seeing as your blood is in her veins'' Jessica said. Klaus nodded and walked over before transforming his face. He bit into his wrist hard and placed it upon her lips as Jessica began chanting. Klaus' eyes lit up as he saw colour return to Larisa's face then her fangs slid into his wrist causing him to hiss in pain.
''She needs the blood of her maker. Do you know who that is?'' Jessica asked. Klaus nodded before glaring towards Kol who flinched under his brother's glare as he stepped forward. Stefan and Caroline looked towards the pair in shock. Klaus removed his wrist as Kol bit into his and put it upon his niece's lips. He too hissed when her fangs penetrated a different part of his wrist from where he had bitten. Slowly her eyes began to flutter open causing Klaus to sigh in relief as his eyes filled with unshed tears. Kol pulled his wrist away and wiped the blood that had fallen down Larisa's chin. he put his hand on her shoulder and helped her sit up slowly before he react down and lifted her bridal style out of the coffin. He placed her on her feet after turning her to face Klaus.
''Daddy'' she said the tears began pouring down her face as she ran into Klaus' arms which immediately wrapped around her, holding her tight against him. He was scared that if he let her go then she would disappear again.
''Shh you're safe now, I'm here. I'm never going to let anything like that happen to you again. I promise'' Klaus whispered into her hair as he placed multiple kisses upon her forehead. Kol put an arm around Rebekah and hugged her too him as tears were pouring down her face at the sight of the niece they thought they would never see again. As she pulled away from Klaus' embrace Larisa spun to face her Uncle Finn, she ran over towards him and hugged him tightly, he had missed her deeply. She pulled back from him before turning to face aunt and uncle who immediately held out their arms to her. She ran into them sobbing hard. Kol kissed her forehead as he held her tightly to him with one arm while is other arm was around Rebekah.
''Don't ever do that to us again'' Rebekah sobbed hugging her niece tightly. Larisa let out a small chuckle
''Didn't exactly plan it, did I?'' Larisa said hugging her aunt and uncle back. She pulled away from them and spun to face the last person she had missed. Her uncle Elijah.
Tears streamed down her godfathers face as he closed the gap between them in two strides and crushed her into his arms. She buried her face into his neck as she clung to his suit jacket. Rebekah and Kol walked over to join them, followed closely by Finn and slowly Klaus moved over as well. He put one arm around Rebekah and the other around Elijah who was still clinging to Larisa.
''Now we stick together. No more running off or tantrums. We are a family. Understood?'' Rebekah snapped looking round at all her brothers. All three of them nodded before Larisa nodded after finally letting go of Elijah. Caroline took cautious steps forward. Larisa smiled towards her before breaking the family huddle and rushing over towards Caroline. Caroline chuckled as Larisa ran into her embrace, she had to admit, and she missed the young girl. Klaus smiled as he watched the interaction between Caroline and Larisa.
Larisa spun round to face the Salvatore brothers and Katherine. ''Thank you, all of you. I honestly don't know what I'd have done if I lost my family''
Stefan and Katherine just nodded towards her. Damon took a step forward and dropped the bag he had been holding at her feet. ''Thought you might like a change of clothes as those ones might stink of death''
Larisa smiled at the elder Salvatore's kindness. ''Thanks Damon'' she said reaching into the bag and pulling out the t-shirt and jeans he had given her along with the shoes he had put in the bag. She ran upstairs into another room to get changed. She heard familiar voices as the front door closed. She walked downstairs and back into the basement to see Jeremy standing with Elena and Matt. Her eyes lit up at they fell upon Jeremy.
''Is she okay?'' Matt asked looking towards Stefan who'd just told him the information about Larisa.
''She's fine'' Larisa smiled causing all heads to snap towards her. A small smile appeared on Matt's face as he saw the young girl was back to her old self again. Elena also offered her a small smile. Her eyes fell upon Jeremy who looked at her in shock. ''Hi Jer'' she smiled looking up towards him as she stood slightly closer.
Jeremy kept his eyes upon hers as he closed the gap between him before lowering his head and capturing her lips with his. It took Larisa a few seconds to come out of the state of shock she was in before she began to kiss him back. Her hands gripped his t-shirt and pulled him tighter while his went around her waist and held her too him. Someone clearing their throat broke the two apart. Larisa's cheeks turned red as she remembered her family was in the room. Jeremy moved to the right of her as they both turned to face everyone. To her surprise Elena was smiling slightly along with Caroline and Rebekah. Katherine smirked towards the pair while Matt looked a little confused. Stefan and Damon looked worried as their glances flickered between the two. Her uncles looked murderous as they glared towards Jeremy who became slightly uncomfortable under their glares. Larisa's eyes glanced around at them all until her eyes rested up Klaus who glared towards Jeremy.
Jeremy gulped slightly as Klaus crossed the room to stand in front of him. Stefan and Damon tensed waiting to step in if Klaus tried anything. Larisa glared up towards her father.
''You dare hurt her and I will tear your lungs out, am I clear?'' Klaus warned glaring towards Jeremy who nodded slightly looking towards Klaus confused. Suddenly a bright smile lit up Klaus' face as he extended his hand to Jeremy. ''Then welcome to the family''
Jeremy breathed a slight sigh of relief before he placed his hand in Klaus' and shook it once. Elena breathed out a sigh of relief as her gaze flickered between Jeremy and Klaus.
They pulled up at the Mikaelson Mansion. Klaus helped Larisa out of the car before wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Larisa reached up and took her father's hand in hers. His siblings and Sage were off with the Salvatore's dealing with the werewolf problem that Jessica had
''Welcome home sweetheart'' Klaus smiled kissing her forehead once more. The door to the mansion was flung open as Kassandra stood in the doorway. Her eyes filled with tears as they fell upon Larisa when a strangled cry came from her throat attracting Klaus and Larisa's attention.
''Mother'' Larisa called out as they both ran at vampire speed towards each other before they embraced each other tightly.
''Oh thank god you're okay'' Kassandra said hugging Larisa to her and Klaus walked up behind them. Kassandra caught Klaus' gaze over the top of Larisa's head and smiled towards him. He gave a small smile back as another car pulled up behind the SUV. He spun round to see Caroline climbing out of her car. She walked over to Klaus confidently and took his hand in hers as she glared slightly towards Kassandra who allowed her gaze to tear from Klaus' as she released Larisa. She kissed her daughters forehead softly before looking down at her.
''We'll give you two a moment'' Klaus said tugging on Caroline's hand and guiding her towards the front door.
''So how are you feeling?'' Kassandra asked looking down towards Larisa with concern in her eyes. Larisa sighed in frustration, she was sick of people asking her that.
''I feel fine mum, honestly. And dad's already promised to make me some hot chocolate and give me his credit card to go shopping'' Larisa grinned towards her mother. She could feel her mouth-watering as she thought of her father's hot chocolate that always helped numb her cravings when she was a young vampire.
''What's new? You've always had your dad wrapped around your finger'' Kassandra laughed. They heard Klaus mumble something from inside the house like 'she wishes' or something to that affect.
''True, proper daddy's girl me'' Larisa laughed. Kassandra's eyes saddened as she stared down at her daughter.
''Yes you are. Well now I know you're safe, I guess I'd better be going. Say goodbye to your father for me and Caroline'' Kassandra smiled kissing Larisa's forehead gently. With a gust of wind her mother was gone. A clench of pain in Larisa's heart was all she left behind. She was just back and her mother was already abandoning her again. Inside the house Klaus and Caroline watched as silent tears made their way down Larisa's face making Klaus blood boil with anger and sadness for his daughter.
''Go to her Klaus, she needs you right now'' Caroline said placing a hand upon his shoulder. Klaus sighed as he made his way to the front door. He pulled it open as Larisa looked up to him before rushing inside without so much as glancing at him. He listened as her bedroom door slammed shut. Caroline stood in the doorway of the sitting room confused. Klaus smirked as he made his way into the kitchen with Caroline following him.
She watched curiously as he began to pour some milk into a pot and placed it onto the stove before reaching to the cupboard above his head to pull down some sugar and cocoa powder. Caroline watched as he added the sugar into the cocoa power followed by the cocoa powder. He moved swiftly over to the fridge and put the milk back before grabbing a small white jug of something. He poured it in slowly. The sweetness of the liquid in the jug hit Caroline's senses like a truck.
''My famous hot chocolate. Used to make it for Lara when she was a little girl, of course I had to use different products back then but somehow the taste had remained the same'' Klaus smirked pulling out three cups from the cupboard just next to his right leg. He carefully poured the warm, sweet scented liquid into each of the cups. He smiled as he held one out to Caroline. She walked forward before hesitantly taking the cup in her hands; the warm liquid quickly heated her freezing cold hands. She looked down at the drink sceptically before looking up towards Klaus. ''Go on try it'' he smiled.
She sighed as she raised the mug to her lips and took a small sip. She almost moaned at the taste and feeling of the warm liquid in her mouth and on her throat, now she could tell why it help Larisa dull her blood cravings. Klaus smiled as he watched her, until now only his family and he had tasted his famous hot chocolate. He smiled as he remembered Larisa helping him make it when she was just eight years old before it turned into a food fight that destroyed the kitchen and took three days for the maids to clean up.
''Time to go and see what has upset her majesty'' Klaus sighed walking past Caroline towards the stairs. He used his vamp speed to get to her door, being careful not to spill any of the hot chocolate. He used the back of his hand to push down the handle and nudged the door open with his hip. He looked in to see her lying on her bed, on her side with a pillow in her grasp. He sighed as he walked forward causing her to look up towards him. He placed his cup of hot chocolate down on her night stand before extending her out to her. A small smile pulled at her lips as she sat up and took the mug from him before moving her feet to allow him to sit on the bed. She smiled slightly as she took a sip and grinned up towards Klaus.
''You're losing your touch, this hot chocolate isn't as good as the last cup you made'' Larisa giggled. Klaus smiled over towards her
''Well I am sorry to offend you, your highness'' Klaus chuckled before taking a sip of his own hot chocolate. He watched as a tear rolled down her cheek as she stared into the hot chocolate in her hands.
''I knew she was going to run off again, I knew it. I've only been back half an hour and she's already done a runner'' Larisa sniffed as Klaus raised his hand to wipe her tear away.
''You're mother doesn't do well with reunions and stuff. Your death, it broke her and now that you're back she probably just doesn't know how to handle it'' Klaus said. He couldn't actually believe he was defending her but he knew exactly what his ex-wife was feeling, even he was struggling to hold it together. ''It broke us both''
Larisa looked up towards her father as tears appeared in Klaus' eyes. ''Lara when I thought I lost you, it was like my whole body was shoved under ice cold water, I felt numb. For the first time in my thousand years of living, I wanted to be dead, just so I could be with you. Larisa, I do not ever want to feel that again''
''It wasn't exactly a picnic for me too dad'' Larisa said with a slight chuckle, but Klaus did not smile.
''I mean it Lara. I do not ever want anything like that to happen to you again, I won't survive it next time'' it made Larisa slightly nervous to hear her father talk with such a serious tone to his voice, she knew he meant every word. She smiled as she placed her cup of hot chocolate onto the night stand and shuffled over to the side of the bed. Klaus looked towards her confused until she patted the space beside her, signalling for him to lie down. He placed his cup onto the night stand before moving up the bed and laying his head back onto the pillow. Larisa shuffled over and raised her head up before placing it onto his chest. He wrapped and arm around her shoulders with his other around her middle. She had an arm pinned under her side while her other went across him.
Klaus closed his eyes as he listened to her slow breathing as she slowly began to fall asleep. Unknowingly his grip tightened around her frame as if he was scared she would fade away when he opened his eyes. His hand stroked her hair softly as he too felt himself drifting off into a deep slumber.
''Don't worry dad, you'll never lose me again'' he heard her tiny voice speak up to him before he shut his mind off and fell asleep.
Caroline stood on the doorway with her hand over her heart and tears rolled down her face. Never had she seen Klaus so gentle with anyone than he was with his daughter
His baby girl.
She's Back!
