It'a been a long time hasn't it!

Well, I really hope you guys are ready for the continuation of Madelina's story! I really hope you enjoy where I'm going with this storyline!

I do not own The Originals, simply Madelina and any other change I make to the storyline.

Klaus awoke with a loud gasp, the pain in his chest that had plagued him for so long now suddenly gone.

He was confused, obviously, for he was no longer in the dark space that Marcellus had enclosed him in, but a bright room, lying on a comfortable bed.

It was the bed that surprised him the most at the moment. He had not found himself with such luxuries in what felt like thousands of years.

His throat burned, but before he could even attempt to speak, a blood bag appeared in front of his eyes. Without hesitation, his muscles burning, Klaus roughly snatched the bag out of the tanned hand, ripping it open and letting the blood flow into his veins. Everything became clearer, more easily heard, as if all of his senses had just been turned on, which, they kind of had.

Klaus gasped, his strength slowly returning, though the pain he had endured would probably never leave him.

"Daddy?" said a voice and suddenly his eyes widened, fully examining the room.

The room was large, and the big bed fit well inside of it. It was homey, but there was a strange feeling around the home, as if nobody actually lived inside of it.

The furniture was dark, all matching each other against the white walls. The large dresser was in front of the bed, a nice TV sitting upon it. There was a small sitting area at the edge of the bed as well, a few comfy chairs to sit in front of the TV.

There was a side table on Klaus's left and a chair on his right, where he found a certain woman who he hadn't seen in a while.

"Hayley?" he asked, his voice a bit raspy, still in need of some more blood.

She smiled slightly, and it was a genuine one. She was actually very happy that he was okay, but she didn't say anything until she grabbed a second bag of blood from below her.

"Here," she said, her voice so strange to Klaus after years of listening to simply his own thoughts. "You probably want a semblance of your strength back."

He nodded gratefully and took it, drinking the blood a bit slower than the first one.

But then that voice that he had heard spoke again. "Daddy?"

Klaus's eyes immediately found the source, and he almost spit out the blood in his mouth. There was a small girl standing at the edge of the bed, a hesitant smile on her face.

He had thought that he would find little Madelina, her long hair placed into two braids and a mischievous glint in her blue eyes, but he found something else. It was a girl, but she had dark hair, matching Hayley's and her eyes were obviously his own. This was not Madelina. This was-

"Hope?" Klaus asked, barely above a whisper.

Apparently, she heard him, because her hesitant smile turned into a very wide one. Klaus was still processing. Hope looked about 9 years old or so, which meant that Madelina must be in her teenage years.

He had missed so much.

Hayley seemed to notice the barely hidden turmoil in his eyes because she turned to Hope, a small smile on her face. "Hope, why don't you go downstairs? We'll be down in a minute."

Hope seemed a bit saddened by the short meeting, but nodded, quickly leaving the room and shutting the door behind her.

Klaus sat up, his strength at least a bit more returned to him. He looked down at the clothes that had once been clean, the same ones that he had been stabbed with by Papa Tunde's knife.

"What happened?" He asked, looking over at Hayley with a slightly vulnerable expression.

Hayley had a saddened expression on her face. "Klaus-"

But he cut her off, asking a different question. "How long?" His voice was emotionless, despite all of the things he was feeling.

Hayley opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Klaus grew nervous, and so he became angry. "How long Hayley!" He yelled, getting to his feet.

"9 years, okay!" Hayley blurted out, getting to her feet as well. "It's been 9 years, Klaus."

He practically stumbled back from the words, not wanting to believe them. This meant that Hope was actually older than he originally thought. She was 11, and Madelina was 15.

He had been right. He missed so much.

His eyes met Hayley's once again, trying to hide his turmoil. "Where is everyone?"

"Downstairs," Hayley said quietly. "I just managed to find cures for them and when they woke up, we went to get you as quick as we could."

Klaus nodded to the information, gesturing to the bedroom door. "Lead the way, little wolf," he said.

Hayley nodded and showed him the way downstairs. She explained that they were staying in a house in Austin, Texas for the time being. She also explained that Hope and her had travelled all over the world looking for the cures, and that was why they really didn't have a place of their own.

The house itself was adequate size, much too small for Klaus's liking, but big enough. There were 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, Hayley told him. The staircase was very bland, and Klaus found himself not liking the house even more because of it.

But, he would deal.

"Hayley," he said slowly, coming to a stop. The younger hybrid stopped as well, turning to face him in question. "Where is Madelina?"

Hayley obviously froze at the question, and Klaus's blue eyes narrowed just slightly. He saw her fidget for a moment before saying quietly. "We're not sure yet," she said, but quickly added. "But Freya is using all of her power to track Kol's location."

At the mention of his brother, Klaus's features contorted with anger. But, he knew not to react, because he needed to save his anger for when he actually saw the backstabbing Original.

He wanted to save his anger for what Kol did to this family. Not only that, but what he possibly did to Madelina.

She was a teenager, and Klaus was afraid to see how she turned out underneath Kol's care. He was afraid that the Madelina he knew had been lost forever.

Klaus continued to follow Hayley down to the living room, where he found his siblings.

They were mostly all standing up, all looking toward him in what looked like assurance. It seemed that they heard how he had reacted to being told how much time had passed. They seemed to quietly tell him that they would stand by his side with whatever he chose to do next.

Hope was sitting with Rebekah, who was right next to none other than Mave Cross. The minute that Klaus's blue eyes met hers he remembered the kiss they shared before he was stabbed with Papa Tunde's knife. He remembered the suddenness of the action and how she was ripped away from him by none other than Kol.

It seemed that when their eyes connected, she remembered it too because there was a slight redness that covered her cheeks. Klaus had to hold back a small smirk as he turned to everybody.

"I traced Kol the old fashioned way," Freya began explaining. "He has help from a witch, and it might be Madelina."

Klaus nodded tightly before asking quickly. "Where was he last seen?"

"California," she answered immediately.

"I've already gotten us a plane, Niklaus," Elijah said, knowing just how distraught Klaus would be if he was given time to realize Madelina had grown up with Kol as a father figure.

Klaus would be even more betrayed than he already is.

The hybrid nodded at the words. "When will we leave?" he asked them, wanting to find his firstborn daughter as quick as possible.

When he had both of his daughters back in his protection, that would be the time when he finally calmed down. But with Madelina away, he couldn't function. She was his blood, his daughter.

And Kol had taken her away from him.

Klaus's face quickly turned hard as he thought of all the ways his brother would pay.

Mave watched as Klaus's eyes hardened before Elijah answered. "The plane leaves in an hour."

She was looking at Klaus closely as he nodded his head. She, too, was very distraught of waking up without her daughter near her. What was worse was that she had missed so much, it was terrible.

Mave wanted her daughter back just as much as Klaus, now that she knew just how far he would go for the girl, but she was being smart about it.

It was obvious that Klaus wanted to kill Kol or give him a more horrible punishment than death. It was a pattern that he always went through with his siblings, but this time, it had become so much more real.

But Mave was, as she said earlier, thinking a little smarter.

They couldn't kill Kol.

As long as Madelina still loved Kol and wanted to stay with him, they couldn't kill him. Despite the anger, the fury, she feels at not ripping Kol apart, she knew that she would lose Madelina forever if she did so.

She would do everything in her power to make sure that Klaus didn't mess this up for them.

But, because of her kiss with Klaus before her little nap time, Mave was nervous to stand up. She had just given Klaus a very vulnerable side to her, a side that he hadn't seen since before Madelina was born, and quite frankly, it was scaring the hell out of Mave.

Why did she kiss him?

She shook the thoughts away thought as Rebekah stood up, looking at everybody.

"Well?" she said, gesturing to the front door. "Let's get the rest of our family back."

They all got up, all for Elijah, Finn, Hayley, and Hope, who would stay at the house just to make sure that they weren't following an empty trail. Hope was older, but she didn't want to chase another family member until they were sure of her location.

That left Freya, Rebekah, Mave, and Klaus. Being the only male in the group, Klaus knew that this plane ride would be a nightmare.

But, he would go through it. Because Madelina was family.

And he would get her back, even if he had to go through Kol to do so.

Meanwhile, a young girl, teenager actually, shot up in bed, confused by the pictures in her head. She was drenched in sweat and her blonde hair stuck to the nape of her neck.

It was impossible. It was completely, and utterly impossible.

But a vision had never been wrong before.

Her blue eyes widened as she hopped out of her very large bed, traveling to the side table to open the bottom drawer. There, she picked up a book that she opened, revealing a cutout in the pages that she had placed a few objects.

They were the pictures of her mother. The same mother that was clearly awake now. Not only that, but the silver locket, the old locket she had received as a child that still had a picture of the rest of her family.

Her family...

Her head shot up, a million thoughts running through her head. She didn't know whether to tell Kol or not because, as much as she loved him for taking her in, she missed the rest of her family.

She missed them a lot.

On the other hand, if she didn't tell him, there was a large probability that her father would kill him. It wouldn't be the first time he's died either.

The blonde bit her lip, bright blue eyes flickering around the pictures and objects in the book. She didn't know who to choose, but she knew she would have to.

She would have to choose between the uncle who has taken care of her almost all of her life or the family that she had been deprived from for all that time. Despite the strangeness of the decision, she couldn't choose.

She looked at the picture of her mother, Mave Cross, hardly believing that she might see her in just a little while. Thinking quickly, Madelina stuffed the book back into the drawer, slipping back into the bed and trying to fall asleep, as useless as that feat was.

Her family was okay.

But would they like the new Madelina?

In their absence, she had changed, and whether it was for the worse or not, she didn't know. All she knew was that, while they hadn't changed much, she had quite a bit.

Perhaps, only if they made it so, the decision would be made for her. No doubt that both sides of this feud would want Madelina out of it.

So she would just have to wait it out, as cold as that sounds.

Okay guys, there's the first chapter!
