Hi anon...yep I still am taking requests...believe it or not the two I wrote yesterday...were actually from yesterday...it didn't take me a year to write something like it's happening with my fanfics. Hope you like it! ;)
AU. Klaus, Hayley, Hope and Davina have lived in California for the last 16 years.
Klaus, Hayley, Hope and Davina decided it was safer if Hope was away from New Orleans, they left Elijah, Rebekah and Marcel behind to make the city safe, and in the meantime Davina would be hiding them from the rest of witches.
But moving to a new city with Klaus, wasn't something the little witch was exactly willing to do...at least til she heard the deal that Klaus proposed to her, he would cure Josh, this time for real...and she would have the most similar thing to a normal life in California, since Klaus and Hayley wouldn't use their powers in order to keep what they were away from their innocent daughter.
Davina finally accepted the deal, of course that it'd take more than simple spell for them to disappear, and they agreed on change their last name, taking them all the surname Marshall. That would allow Elijah and Rebekah to find them easily, since they were the ones who knew where to look for them.
They all lived the most normal lives possible, Klaus kept himself busy painting as always while Hayley did her best to get used to her new hybrid powers and Davina was learning magic by choice, dealing with the responsibilities of high school as well.
Klaus was about to go shopping when the phone rang, he picked it up without worrying too much...in their time in California, they made some good friends, and probably just would be one of them to invite them to some boring party.
"Yes?" he said, some seconds passed and nobody answered...when he was about to hang up was when Rebekah talked "Nik?" she asked, he could tell by her tone that she was crying..and at the mere sound of her voice, his eyes started watering too.
"Rebekah? It is you?" he asked, sitting in the sofa...he couldn't express with words how much he missed her, and the agony of not knowing how his sibling were doing was what most hurting thing he has experienced since he saw Hayley die.
"It's me." she said, in a mix of laughing and crying "Are you alright? How's Elijah?" Klaus rushed to ask, he would never forgive himself if something happened to them in his absence "We-we're okay. The city it's safe, you all can come back." Rebekah announced with nothing but joy and happiness in her words.
"Are you sure?" Klaus asked, he wouldn't let his daughter come back if they weren't sure that not harm would be brought to her there "We're sure, the only witches left are loyal to us, I can assure you." Rebekah said with confidence in her voice and Klaus tried to smile, but he found it far much harder than it should be.
"Then I guess out family will be together again." Klaus said, trying to sound happy "I can't wait to see you, brother. I can't wait to see you all." Rebekah said, even more happier "I'll see you soon, little sister." Klaus said and hang up the phone, leaving it in the sofa.
He should be happy that they were able to come back to their city, but he wasn't. They four had a happy and normal life here, Davina was no longer a young girl, she had her own life here too. She went to college to study fine arts, and now she had a great job as an art appraiser and she even had a little witch of her own.
Through Klaus offered her the possibility to become a vampire and be young forever, she refused repeatedly in order to have the normal life she has always wanted. The sound of the door opening interrupted Klaus' thought, it was Hayley, who came back from the beach, a place she truly loved.
But her happy expression quickly turned into a worried one when she saw the way Klaus was looking at her. "What's wrong?" she asked, walking to him and he sighed "Rebekah called." he said, looking down and instanly Hayley feared for Rebekah or Elijah's lifes. "They're okay?" she asked, and Klaus nodded, his gaze still fixed in the floor "The city is safe, we'll coming back as soon as possible." Klaus said and a smile formed in Hayley's face "Then why are you such in a sour mood, those are good news." she said, taking Klaus' hands in hers.
"We're happy here. Davina's life is here now, so is ours. Hope has her human friends, she's doing normal things...what will be tell her when she sees not only her aunt and her uncle, but also her parents have fangs and glowing eyes?" Klaus said, and Hayley sat in the sofa next to him.
"I guess, we'll have to tell her before we move..." Hayley said, letting go a deep sigh "We should call Davina." Klaus said, grabbing his phone and looking through his contacts for the witch's name. "She won't move back, will she?" Hayley said, they both grew to love Davina has a little sister more, and the feelings were reciprocal, even with everything that happened in New Orleans, over the years Davina forgave Klaus for all the mistakes he made in the past.
"Adam and Ellie are here, they're her family now. But I thing she'd be happy to see Marcel and Josh again." Klaus said as he waited for Davina to pick it up "Klaus!" she greeted him once she did "Davina, do you mind come over?" Klaus asked and she quickly noticed something wasn't right "What's going on?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.
"We can talk about it once you're here." Klaus said, and sighed, once more "FIne, I'll be there in 10 minutes." she said and hang up, luckily she didn't move far away from them. Klaus and Hayley shared an uncomfortable silence til Davina arrived, she opened the door with the keys she's til had, and the two hybrids stood up as soon as she walked in.
"What's wrong? It's Hope alright?" Davina asked, she's been specially worried lately...most witches' powers start being present at the age Hope was now. "She's-she's alright." Hayley said with a small smile "It's Rebekah, she called to inform us that the city is safe now." Hayley said as her smile faded away, and Davina looked down.
"This means you're moving?" she asked, and they both nodded. She quickly wrapped them both in a hug "I don't want you to leave." she whispered as she felt her eyes watering. "We don't want to leave either, but New Orleans it's our home after all." Hayley said once they pulled away. "What about Hope? New Orleans it's the center of the supernatural activity...she'll find out sooner or later if you go back...what about our last name? She has been Hope Marshall all this time." Davina had as many questions and doubts as they two, but she was the one who was strong enough to ask them out loud.
Klaus and Hayley exchanged a worried stare, they'll have to explain her about her true last name...Mikaelson. And all the story and danger that comes with it. "She's a Mikaelson after all...and if you want your lastname back, Davina..." Hayley was saying but Davina cut her off "My parents were going to let me die for a stupid tradition...you both took care of me, and thanks to you I had a normal life. None of us was born a Marshall, but you kept it because they were your family, and I'll keep it because you're mine." Davina said, with her eyes watering as she took Hayley's hand in hers.
"This is getting too emotional." she said with a small smile, wiping her tears away "I can stay, we can talk to Hope when she comes back from high school...if you want." Davina said, she could imagine what it would be like to Hope, and yet she didn't want her to go through this...they didn't have a choice.
"Stay, please." Klaus said and Davina nodded, sitting in the sofa and the two hybrids sat next to her. "Just curiosity, when are you moving?" she asked to them, it's not like they could leave everything behind and run away, like they did when they moved here "It'll take two weeks to settle things..." Klaus said, and Davina nodded in understanding.
"Do you think Josh will remember me?" she asked curious, remembering her old friend. "I'm sure he would." Klaus said squeezing Davina's hand, and she gave him a small smile in return. They spent the time talked about random stuff, and avoiding anything related to New Orleans or supernatural beings.
They small chat about Davina last's painting was interrupted by Hope, who came home, more early than usual. They three stared at her not sure what to say, the young tribird quickly noticed that something was going on, and she feared that they were angry at her for some reason.
"Whatever it is...it wasn't me." Hope said, and Hayley gave her daughter a small smile "You didn't do nothing, we know. But we need to talk to you." she said and Hope sat in the sofa in front of them "Do you remember your aunt Rebekah, from New Orleans?" Klaus said, leaning towards her "Yeah, you both talked to me about her, but she's never visited us." Hope said, she didn't know what this distant familiar had to do with all of this.
"She called today, and...we're moving back to New Orleans." Hayley said and Hope wide opened her eyes on shock "Why?!" she exclaimed, she liked her life here, she had her friends here, friends she has known her whole life. "You'll understand, but there are things that we need to explain to you...first." Klaus said, as he closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, his eyes were of a glowing gold colour. Hope jumped back, nothing but fear in her face "What the-" she yelled "It's okay." Hayley said in a soft tone "It's just us...and what we really are, what you are too. Hybrids, part vampires and part werewolves." Hayley explained, and Hope stared at her like she lost her mind.
"I'm dreaming, aren't I?" Hope said, more to herself than to her parents "I'm afraid no, my littlest wolf." Klaus said, reminding her the nickname he has always used on her, especially when she was younger. "I'm-I'm-I'm a vampire?!" she asked, freaking out.
"A hybrid, and well, part witch." Klaus especificated, and Hope stood up walking around the living room nervously "Are you telling me that all those creatures that appear in really bad movies, all of them, are real?" she asked, gesturing heavily.
"Some of them." Davina said, speaking for the first time since Hope walked in "You're a hybrid too?" Hope asked pointing to her and Davina shook her head "I'm a witch." she said with a small smile "And you're telling me...I'm a witch too, or part witch at least...but I don't have powers, I don't have those weird eyes...and I'm sure as well, I don't have fangs!" she exclaimed, and Klaus took a deep breath "Davina casted a spell on you, to keep not only your werewolf side, but your vampire and witch side dormant." Klaus explained, they got the inspiration from the curse that Esther casted once on Klaus, who would say that something good came out of that.
"So..there's a spell on me?" Hope asked pointing to herself, and they three nodded "I can call it off, if you want." Davina suggested, she could easily give Hope all her powers back "No! Not yet, do it once we're in New Orleans. The two weeks we have left of normal life, we'll enjoy them." Hayley said, and Davina and Klaus agreed "Two weeks?" Hope asked in a whisper "I'm afraid we'll be leaving soon." Klaus said, looking sadly at his daughter.
"But what about my high school? What about my friends?" Hope complained, with her eyes watering "I know moving it's hard, trust me, I know it better than anyone else. But New Orleans it's our home, we all belong there." Hayley assured her "And you'll see your aunt and your uncle again, the Mikaelson family." she said, and Hope furrowed her brow at the last name "Mikaelson?" she asked "Your true last name." Klaus said, and Hope sighed "So basically...you both lied to me about everything in my life." Hope said, with tears falling down her cheeks.
"Your parents did what's best for you, I can assure you." Davina said, getting closer to Hope "You're special, the first born vampire in the history...there's no other tribrids like you. We still don't know what you're capable of, how powerful you are...no one does...and there's...beings, evil beings that wanted not only that power to themselved, to their land...but they wanted to hurt your father too, because he's the first hybrid in the history...the first in his kind, just like you, just like your mother's bloodline comes directly from the first werewolves." Davina explained to her, Hope seemed to understand Davina's explanation more than her parents'.
"That's why they came after us? Because we're different?" Hope asked, curious and Davina gave her a sweet smile "I'm sure your parents along with your aunt and your uncle will be more capable than me to explain you the family history." she said, and the sweetness in her voice made her look like the teenager she was when she found herself the drama behind the Mikaelson family.
