Chapter 3- Engaged with children
Omfg this story has reached over 100 follows, over 50 favs and over 30 reviews. Thank you to everyone that did any off those, guest and user. I would also like to apologise greatly for not uploading I have had severe writers block but yesterday I decided to read through the story in my note book to get some inspiration and I found that I had already written the next chapter, I can barely remember writing it and I can't remember why I didn't post it so I am so sorry it's also really short so I will try and upload the next chapter by the end of this bank holiday weekend.
"Hope-"
"Aunt Bekah, you admitted to me that you knew father was unhappy. Caroline could help him. I love Cami but I want father to be truly happy for once!"
Rebekah turned to Elijah having a silent conversation.
"What is it?"
"Hope-"
"What is it you aren't telling me?!"
Elijah cut in, hoping his calming voice would help.
"Do you remember when I went away when you were little?"
"Yes but-"
"That is when I found out where Miss Forbes was."
"What does that-"
"That is also when I found out that she was engaged or at least she was when I last heard news about her."
"So? She might not be with him any more?"
"She has two children with him Hope."
"What!? How is that possible, isn't she a vampire?"
"You are correct."
"But-"
"A coven of witches put them, " He struggled to find the right word, "in her to insure the survival of their coven. I guess you could call her a surrogate mother."
Hope looked down unable to meet their eyes.
"Does father know?"
"Yes, I made sure he did." Elijah replied guiltily.
"Does Caroline know about me?"
"Most likely."
"Well I'm still going to find her!"
The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop
"Yes, I did just hear what you just said but I still want to meet her. She is only a baby vampire but she has so much light and was able catch fathers eye and I'm going to do this with or without your help!"
And with that Hope stormed out leaving two shocked originals in her wake.
5 minutes later in Hopes room
Hope dropped an empty back pack on her bed and started packing filing it with jeans and tops, a pair of pyjamas, a torch and a collection of stakes. Swiftly she changed out of her dress by some designer in Paris with a name she couldn't pronounce and into a pair of skinny jeans , a top (also by that designer in Paris, Rebekah was in charge of her closet after all), a leather jacket and tied her hair back into a ponytail. She was ready for action.
Hope was about to leave when there was a knock on the door.
"God Elijah you scared me!"
He ignored that comment.
"Hope, I just wanted to give you this."
Elijah pulled an envelope out of his suit pocket.
"Elijah?"
"I wrote down the address to the new station Miss Forbes works at and put some money in this, you can't use your card, Niklaus would be able to track it."
Hesitantly Hope took the envelope and thanked him.
"Everyone is still at the party, if you go out the window no one will see you. Rebekah and I will tell Niklaus you've gone to New York as long as you are back by the end of the week."
"Thank you so much." Hope held onto Elijah.
"Now go before Niklaus realises your missing."
Hope grabbed her bag and pushed up the window looking back once before jumping into an empty Bourbon Street. She flashed away until she spotted the bright headlights of a taxi.
"Taxi!" She shouted over exaggerating waving.
"Where do you wanna go?"
"Dallas, Texas."
And with that they drove into the sunrise.
Ok I know this is of my worst chapters but in the next she meets Caroline (yessy!) so I have to make that one better this was kind of just a filler chapter. Thanks for reading this terrible chapter.
