-Chapter 1-
Always and Forever
I wake up on a bed I've never laid on before in a room I've never been in before. Oh yeah, I think I fell asleep while playing in the park...
But where am I now? I start to get scared as my big blue eyes are starting to feel wet and fuzzy. I'm going to start crying soon...
But then, I hear footsteps. They sound like two grown-ups footsteps. I quickly duck under the bed covers as I try to stop myself from crying. I can hear them talking.
"What did your sister want with Niklaus?" A man's voice asks.
"Isn't it obvious?" A woman's voice says impatiently. "We've a vampire problem and we need help. Marcel has an army backing him. The witches have been trying to fight back, we haven't had much luck, until my sister Jane Anne met a little girl who has a special connection to your brother."
"What kind of connection?"
"Apparently, five years ago, a witch from our coven spend sometime with Klaus, and one thing led to another. And before she knew it. She was pregnant. She tried to hide the baby as a normal child, but the baby's powers made that impossible. The little girl I mentioned? She's Klaus's daughter."
"That's impossible."
"Nothing is impossible, especially not when it comes to your brother. Think about it. They call him the hybrid, right?" The woman says before shouting to someone else. "Bring her out."
After that, a tall woman comes in and grabs me. "No! I don't wanna!" I start crying loudly as I twist and turn to try and get the woman to let go of me.
I scream and cry even louder as I finally push the woman away just as we get outside. The woman hits a wall with a loud groan.
"Can a normal kid do that?" The first woman points at me as she's talking to the man.
"I... I don't like it here!" I cry as more tears fall down my oval-heart shaped face before I try to whoosh away from them.
But the man blocks me, making me cry even harder. He's scaring me...
"Give us a moment please." He says to the first woman. I feel goosebumps pop up my pale skin nervously as I still don't stop crying.
He crouches down in front of me. "It's alright, I won't harm you." He says to me softly.
"Who are you?" I sniffle and hiccup tearfully.
"My name is Elijah." He smiles at me nicely as he stands up before reaching a hand out for me to hold.
I rub my eyes before looking up at him. "Are you a scary, bad person?" Mommy always told me that scary, bad people would want to hurt me...
"I'd like to think not." He chuckles a little.
"Okay." I nod before taking his hand...

"Now, you still haven't told me your name." Elijah smiles at me as he's sitting on an empty bed.
"Mommy called me Grace." I say as I climb up the bed to sit next to him.
"You know, I believe that your father's going to be very happy to see you." Elijah tells me happily.
"But mommy said that I don't have a father." I frown and tilt my head.
"Everyone has a father, Grace." Elijah runs a hand through my long, wavy brown hair with a smile.
"Everyone?" I look up at him.
"We just don't always know who they are." Elijah nods.
"I'm glad you two are getting along." The first woman from before says as she walks into the room.
Elijah stands up and looks at her. "What precisely is it that you want? And what does it have to do with this child?"
"We want to run Marcel and his vampires out of town." She tells him. "Klaus is the key. Everything Marcel knows about being a vampire, he learned from Klaus. Marcel trusts him, looks up to him, he won't see the betrayal coming."
"As I'm sure you're aware, my brother Niklaus doesn't like being told what to do." Elijah says.
"That's why I brought you here." She nods. "Marcel drove the werewolves out of town decades ago. Do you really think that he's gonna welcome a child who is vampire, werewolf, and witch to the neighborhood?" Vampires, werewolves, and witches all sound scary...
She pauses before continuing. "Convince Klaus to help us and no one has to know about the newest member of the Original family."
"Sounds remarkably like blackmail." Elijah says. He sounds as if he doesn't like what he's hearing.
"Like I said, I'm desperate." She sounds scary.
She and Elijah stare at each other for a long time before Elijah finally speaks up again. "Well then, I've my word cut out for me, don't I..."

I hug my teddy bear nervously as Elijah's arguing with another man called Klaus. I think Elijah said that he's supposed to be my daddy. I don't like it when grown-ups argue, it makes me nervous...
"No." Klaus shakes his head. "That's impossible."
"I've said the same thing myself." Elijah tells him.
"This is a lie." Klaus sounds a little angry. "You're all lying. Vampires cannot procreate."
The first woman, who's name I've learned is Sophie speaks up. "But werewolves can. Magic made you a vampire, but you were born a werewolf. You're the original hybrid. The first of your kind, and this child is... One of nature's loopholes."
Sophie takes a deep breath before continuing. "My sister give her life to perform the spell that confirmed that this girl is your child." She sounds sad, like she might cry. I bite down on my red lips. I don't know what it means to give life, but it feels sad...
"Because of Jane-Anne's sacrifice, this little girl's life is now controlled by us." Sophie says. I feel something in my tummy roll tightly together. Sophie sounds like she might want to hurt me... I'm getting scared again...
"We can keep her safe." Sophie continues scarily. "Or we can kill her. If you don't help us take down Marcel, Grace won't live past another week." Her words makes me start to cry again...
"Enough of this." Elijah says angrily. "If you want Marcel dead, he's dead. I'll do it myself."
I squeeze myself tightly together as I sniffle quietly. It's scary when grown-ups fight...
"No, we can't." Sophie shakes her head. "Not yet. We've a clear plan that we need to follow and there are rules."
"How dare you command me?" Klaus growls VERY scarily, making me squeeze my big blue eyes closed tearfully.
"Threaten ME with what you wrongfully perceive to be MY weaknesses!" Klaus screams VERY angrily. I cover my ears as I cry harder.
"Because THIS is a pathetic deception." Klaus continues loudly. "I won't hear anymore lies." He's just about to leave before Elijah stops him.
"Niklaus." Elijah says loudly before he and Klaus look at each other. "Look at her."
Klaus stares at me for a LONG moment before he speaks up again. "You can kill her for all I care." His words makes me cry MUCH louder as something in my chest feels like a big ball is stuck there and I can't stop crying.
Klaus leaves before Elijah walks over to me and pulls me into a hug. "Everything will be alright, sweetheart." He tells me softly. "I promise."
Then, Elijah turns to Sophie. "No one touches the girl." He says seriously. "I'll fix this..."

The grown-ups are arguing again... "Marcel and his vampires are out of control." Sophie argues. "Something had to be done."
"And the solution is to bring in more vampires?" An older woman says. She sounds like she doesn't really believe what she's saying.
"These aren't just any vampires, Agnes." Sophie says. "They're the originals."
"What makes you think you can control the hybrid?" Agnes says seriously.
Before Sophie can say anything else, Elijah interrupts. "She can't... Not entirely certain that I can either. But now that your coven has drawn his eyes, I've a question. What prevents my brother from murdering you instead of cooperating?"
Sophie smiles before she grabs a thin stick from beside her. "It's laced with vervain." She tells Elijah before she gives her finger a little poke.
I feel a burning feeling on one of my fingers and it hurts, making my eyes water. "Ouchy..." I whimper tearfully as I put my hurt finger in my mouth and lick it until it doesn't hurt anymore.
Elijah looks unhappily surprised before Sophie speaks up again. "The spell my sister performed?" She says. "The one that got her killed, it didn't just do a paternity test, it linked me to Grace. So, anything that happens to me, happens to her."
Sophie smiles crookedly before continuing. "Klaus may not care about his own child, but it's very clear what she already means to you. If I've to hurt Grace, or worse, to ensure that I've your attention, I will."
Her words makes something in my tummy rolls into many, VERY scared, tight balls. I don't like this feeling, it makes me want to cry...
But Elijah doesn't seem scared. "You would dare threaten an original?"
"I've nothing to lose." Sophie shakes her head before looking at Elijah scarily. "You've until midnight to get Klaus to change his mind..."

I'm by myself again as I play with my teddy bear. "Would you like to come home with me?" Elijah says as he walks into the room.
"But... But mommy's friends told me that mommy went far far away up in the sky." I sniffle sadly. "And I don't have a home anymore..."
"Yes, you do." Elijah tells me as he crouches down in front of me. "You will have a new home with me, and your father."
"Is... Is he the one that said that he's going to let someone to hurt me?" My eyes grow tearful.
"He doesn't mean it." Elijah shakes his head. "He was just... Angry."
"So, he was lying?" I tilt my head.
"Yes." Elijah smiles a little.
"Will good things happen if I go home with you?" I ask as I bite down on my red lips.
"Of course." Elijah nods before he gives me a hand to hold.
"Okay." I say as I hold his hand before he takes me away...

Elijah takes me into a BIG house where a lot of the things inside are covered with white cloth. I look around before pulling on Elijah's arm. "Are we going to be living here?" I tilt my head up at him.
"Yes, this is going to be our new home." Elijah crouches down in front of me with a smile. "You're going to be safe here. This is going to be a good home for you, and I'll always protect you, you have my word on that."
"And your noble uncle Elijah always keeps his word." Klaus says as he walks over to us. Behind him, is a dark-haired woman I haven't seen before.
"Hello Hayley." Elijah smiles at the woman before looking at Klaus. "Is it done?" My oval-heart shaped face frowns silently. Is what done?
"As a matter a fact, yes." Klaus smiles. "Your underhanded deal worked quite well. Marcel was only too happy to accept my blood even as he accepted my heartfelt apologies. His man Thierry yet lives and I remain a welcomed guest in the French quarter."
Klaus frowns before continuing. "What I'm concerned now, is this coven of incompetent witches."
"I believe them to be honorable." Elijah says. "They did release Grace to me. Although, they haven't been entirely forthcoming. Marcel obviously has something that they need. They don't want him dead, there must be a reason why."
Then Elijah looks between Hayley and me. "Hayley, would you mind taking Grace upstairs to play?" He says before turning back to Klaus. "I believe Niklaus and I have some business to discuss, and I would prefer it if you and Grace are kept out of it."
"It's not like I would want to know anyways." Hayley rolls her eyes before looking down at me. "Come on, let's go see what it looks like upstairs..."
