Flash back- A few days after Elijah left
Once again Hope was awoken in the dead of night by her family. Her blanket was attached to one hand with her teddy clutched in the other, it wasn't going to get lost this time. The door protecting the room that was protecting all the shouting and banging was open slightly, just enough to allow a 7 year old to peep in with her shiny cobalt eyes. The room was crowded but Hope could just make out the member of her family from the luminous lights of the chandelier. Klaus had his back to the crowd, a glass of scotch in his hand, waiting impatiently. Marcel stepped out of the shadows "Klaus mate, I've got all my vamps out looking and everyone from the Bayou. Elijah will be found."
"How is it that a couple dozen of New Orleans finest aren't able to locate ONE ORIGINAL VAMPIRE!" Hope's little heart started pounding like a humming bird, she had never seen her dad like this, her whole family made sure she never had seen anyone hurt or angry.
Quickly, Hope dropped everything and ran into the room, Klaus piercing blue eyes meeting her own. "I know where Uncle 'Lijah is, he went to find his true luv."
"Who's that Hope?" Rebekah picked her up, holding her gently.
"Um..."
"It's very important that you remember."
"Kat... Katerina ... Pe ..."
"Katerina Petrova?"
"Yes how did you -"
Klaus interrupted, "YOU DIDN'T TELL HIM, DID YOU REBEKAH!"
"I didn't know I had to Nik."
"Excuse me," Haley pulled her self out of Jackson's clutch, "but what exactly didn't you tell him?"
At that exact moment the door flashed open and Klaus was pushed against the wall.
"That Katerina is dead and has been dead for the last 7 years."
"Elijah-"
"Do you know what I found when I went to Mystic Falls Niklaus? I found it almost supernatural free, the Salvatores were gone, Elena and Damon in a cursed sleep, the Bennet witch was in a mental institution and your hybrid was a werwolf who had moved away but there was one vampire, I think his name was Lorenzo who was able to tell me everything. Although he was dead around Katerina's death, he heard about it from Damon Salvatore himself. Apparently you and Rebekah decided to visit her on her death bed after Elena forced the cure down her throat to torture her even more but you both got distracted. Rebekah, you decided to help Matthew out of a safe and you Niklaus, had some fun with Miss Forbes in a forest."
"Camille please take Hope back to bed," Klaus didn't take his eyes of Elijah.
With haste, Hope was passed over to Cami and she carried her across the compound but unluckily for Cami, she forgot to close the door and Hope continued to listen in to the shouting "Do you know where Caroline Forbes in now Niklaus, she is in Texas with her..." until she fell asleep.
Fast forward- In Klaus' study during the party
Hope held her Aunt's gaze for what seemed like hours although it was only seconds until they were interrupted by a figure at the door.
"I'm not interrupting anything am I?"
Hope froze in fear, they were caught, while Rebekah simply rolled her eyes.
"Must you always ruin my fun Elijah?"
He stepped out of the door frame, his suit still pristine.
"I simply wanted to know why my sister and niece are missing the celebrations. Of course I believe I know now. Miss Forbes certainly got Niklaus' attention."
Elijah calmly wondered over to a chestnut set of drawers sitting in the corner . His finger tips trailed along the drawers until he stopped on one second from the top. He reached inside to pull out a also made from chestnut box.
"What is it Elijah?" Rebekah called.
"Niklaus is very fond of keeping his memories however secret he wants to keep them."
Elijah held out the box to Hope, it was just as clean as it would have been if it had only been bought the other day. Once she had reached out and picked it from Elijah's grasp, Hope looked up at Elijah conferring her right to touch it to which she got a nod in reply.
Carefully, Hope place the box on the table , Elijah passed her a key and it popped open to reveal a collection of items. Firstly, Hope pulled out another drawing except this time it was off Caroline in a forest with no cloth-
"I think I'll take that one," Rebekah hid that drawing behind her back, "I think it can be used for blackmail. "
Next there was a long black case which revealed a gorgeous bracelet made from real diamonds, "He bought her everything she wore that night of course he bought her that bracelet" Rebekah murmured from behind her.
After that there was a ripped peplum top covered in twigs and mud, " I don't think I want to know where that was from."
"I have to agree with Hope here Elijah." Rebekah closed the box with that.
"Aunt Bekah, Uncle 'Lijah, I need your help."
"What with Hope?"
"I need you to tell me where Caroline is."
"In Texas, she works at a News station. Why?"
"Because I'm going to find her."
Ok, I would like to apologise now for not updating sooner and I wrote this in a rush so the first part isn't too good.
