Chapter 37 What if.
When Cora and Henrik left the cafe Henrik messaged his older brother Kol telling him that he bringing Cora over now.
Kol then messaged Rebekah telling her to come early for a dinner and to expect Cora.
Henrik and Cora arrive at the mansion and the two walk straight into the mansion without knocking or needing a key to unlock the door.
Rebekah who was busy in the wine cellar finding the perfect red wine when she hears the front door open and leaves the cellar to see if it's Henrik.
"Ah, Henrik you're back early," Says Rebekah
"My favorite original vampire," Replies Henrik
"Be careful brother we wouldn't want to hurt Klaus," Rebekah jokes
"Cora this is Rebekah and Rebekah this is Cora," Said Henrik introducing Cora and Rebekah to each other
"We met before," Mumbled Cora
"I know it just that we didn't meet on good terms exactly," Spoke Rebekah
"Ah, the miller's daughter here to Henrik wasn't lying let's dine," Says Kol upon entering the hall
"Have I ever lied to you before," Asks Henrik
"You know the answer to that kiddo," Said Kol
Flashback 10:
Back over 1000 years to the Mikaelson home village when Henrik was seven and is out on a horse with his older brothers Nicklaus and Kol.
Henrik is riding the same horse as Nicklaus when the three Mikaelson brothers arrive in not well-known part of the forest to the villagers.
When the 3 brothers get off their horses and decide to go their favorite spot where Henrik performs a feat of magic which no one could have expected.
Henrik saw a small robin bird who is wounded well one of his wings Henrik takes pity on the small bird and walks up to it and takes the bird into his hand.
"Henrik, what are you doing the bird is dying," Asked Klaus
"Poor, little bird," Says Henrik who unwillingly causes the wind to pick up and leaves to fly about as the poor little robin suddenly finds it's fatal wounded wing and takes flight out of Henrik's arms Henrik then falls to the ground
"Henrik," Yell Klaus and Koll in unison as they run to their younger brother
"Nicki, Kol I'm really tired again like before," Replies Henrik who struggles to get up onto his feet
"This has happened before Henrik," Says Klaus
"Yes, but it wasn't my fault it was accident I didn't mean for it to happen," Said Henrik
"Henrik you know what father thinks of us practicing magic apart from Rebekah," Kol scolds
"I never meant to do any of this it just happens ever since I could remember I just felt really sad for the robin and then it was healed," Henrik explains
"How many times has this happened Henrik," Asks Kol
"A few times ever since I can remember I could hear this voice telling me I could all sorts of amazing things and I was here before," Replied Henrik
"What do you mean by here before we took you to this part of the forest for years," Asked Klaus
"I don't know please don't tell papa he be relly mad at me," Henrik begs
"Alright brother we will keep this to ourselves but try and avoid helping injured animals near our siblings or parents," Speaks Klaus
"Promise," Whispered Henrik
End of flashback:
Rebekah, Kol, Henrik, and Cora are now sat at the dining table where Rebekah is drinking that bottle of wine.
Each of them has been served a roast dinner and a glass of blood to go with so that the bloodlust of the vampire will not worsen.
"So, Cora with Mikael out the picture you're free anytime to see Henrik," Said Rebekah
"Which is good," Replies Henrik
"Is it Henrik because you're still stuck in the same city as Mikael otherwise you desiccate," Asks Cora
"Okay, I guess that is a very big downfall," Mumbled Henrik
"Cora, if Henrik wasn't linked to Mikael would you choose to stay in New Orleans or would you leave to go anywhere else," Asked Rebekah
"Whoa, Rebekah Mikaelson you are the queen of questions," Spoke Cora
"Wow, now I am interested in this conversation Cora," Chuckles Henrik
"If Henrik was free from the link he shares with Mikael and wouldn't desiccate if he left New Orleans I would like to leave for possibly Mystic Falls or even somewhere in Italy," Said Cora
"That gives me an idea Cora one moment while I go and make a phone call," Says Rebekah who gets from her seat and walks into Mikael's study to make a private phone call
"Cora would you ever become human," Kol asks
"I'm aware of Elena and Damon carrying the cure in their system, however, I could only ever become human if Henrik chose to do so too," Replied Cora
"What about, you Henrik," Kol asked
"Well, I haven't been human for 1000 years I can't remember what it's like maybe if there was a way to ensure that I could be human and when I die I was an original vampire again I would do it so I have lived the human life I wanted but then could be with my family and Cora after that human life has ended," Spoke Henrik
"Interesting and going to Mystic Falls would provide you with the opportunity of becoming human again," Kol replies
"Do you think it's silly," Henrik asks his brother
"No, big dream and kind of impossible but normally the best dreams are," Said Kol
