So I hated the Originals finale. Hated it. That is no way to end a season, much less end a series. Whoever made those decisions cared not a whit about the characters, or the storyline, or anything. And if they did they got a funny way of showing it. So this is my version. It's a bit rushed but I wanted to get the idea down before I lost it.
That was it. The Hollow was gone. Rebekah had her, Elijah had her, Kol had her, and Hayley. Marcel and Rebekah went to New York City. Elijah promised Hayley that when they found the solution they'd have Maroque. And Davina promised she'd figure out a way to vanquish the evil inside of Kol. Right after she showed everyone the engagement ring Kol had made for her. Klaus couldn't believe his little brother was getting married. And he thought Elijah would become the husband Hayley would boss around long before Kol was mature enough to handle married life. He thought he and Caroline would be together long before then. But he wasn't a good measurer of time.
He had dropped Hope at her grandmother's until the war was over. And now he was standing in his gallery, wondering at the next time he would ever see his family again. Then he heard Hayley's footsteps.
"You need to take Hope far away from us." Hayley said. Klaus sighed and looked away
"She needs her mother."
"She needs you more." Hayley protested. Klaus could see tears shining in her eyes. "Please, Klaus. I wouldn't ask this of you if I didn't think you could handle it." She looked out of the room and then back at Klaus. "I can't be with Elijah for god knows how long. But I also shouldn't be anywhere near Hope. I have had plenty of time to bond with her. Now it's your turn." She handed him the car keys. "Alaric offered Hope a slot at Caroline's school. You need to take her there." She said. Klaus looked at the keys and then at Hayley. He took them but pulled her in for a hug. Hayley went rigid.
"What're you doing?" She asked
"I already knew about Caroline's school. I however, don't know when our family will be reunited." He pulled away from Hayley and looked at her. "You must have faith that you will reunite with Elijah. No matter the cost. Consider that, my blessing for whatever future lies ahead of you both." She nodded. "Did you tell Hope your plans?" He asked
"No. The less she knows the better." Hayley replied. Klaus nodded.
"Alright. Then, there seems to be no time to waste." Klaus left the room, tossing the car keys in his hand, then sped for his car, to go and get his little girl.
Hope said her goodbyes to everyone that was safe to be around her. Hope told Keelin she hopes she'll see her again. And then when Klaus offered his hand, Hope took it, letting him lead her to the car, where they drove to Mystic Falls.
There was a knock at the door. Caroline turned to it, sending the young girls she was talking to to their classes. She went to it and opened the door.
Immediately, Klaus's eyes went from hopeful to alive, smiling widely at her. Caroline smiled back, feeling such a deep happiness she let out a slow laugh. She looked down to see a nervous young girl, a little older than her twins. Hope gave her a hesitant smile after looking to her dad and Caroline smiled again at the both of them.
"Welcome home."
