The Forgotten Salvatore Book 5

The Bloody Crown

Daniel sped out of the compound. Rebekah inspects her wrist with the cursed skull branded on it. "I've only got a short while before I go mad. So your explanation better be quick and it better be good." Rebekah said.

Lucien's Penthouse

Hayley, Mia and Freya are searching for the antidote. "It's not here. I can't find it." Freya said. "Calm down. Freya, think. When you were poisoned before, Klaus stole an antidote from Lucien. It has to be here." Hayley said. "There's no other place to look. If I can't find the cure, I will die." Freya said. The Mikaelson brothers, plus Daniel burst into the appartment, Kol badly wounded between them. "Freya!" Klaus shouted. Hayley sees Elijah's wound. "Elijah!" Hayley exclaimed. "Don't. We deal with it later." Elijah said. Kol slumps on the sofa and gasps. "I am going to die." Kol said. Hope starts crying. Daniel rushed over to her. He picked her up and manages to calm her down.

"You're not going to die." Klaus said. Kol chuckled. "Now that sounds familiar. Isn't that what you said to Finn and Cami?" Kol asked. "Look, Lucien engineered his venom from the seven werewolf packs, so maybe, that's the key to a cure." Klaus said. "Oh great, that's the first piece in a puzzle none of us will be alive to solve. I'm poisoned, Rebekah is hexed, and our brothers are bitten. We need three different cures to three different ailments, each of which could take years to find, and none of us will make it through the day." Freya said. Daniel sighed in frustration as he held Hope close. Mia walked over to him. "Are you alright?" Mia asked. Daniel nodded. Mia took Hope in her arms and hugged her.

Later

Freya is taking care of a sweating Kol on the sofa. "You know, maybe it's fair that you and I pay for what was done to Davina." Kol said. "No, Davina didn't want revenge, okay?" Freya asked. "Just put me out of my misery! At least put me to bloody sleep!" Kol said. Freya suddenly forms a plan in her head. "Daniel!" Freya called out. Daniel sped next to her. "What?" Daniel asked. "I may have a plan. I need your help." Freya said. Freya explained her plan. Suddenly, Kol started thrashing about and started shouting. "No! Davina please! No, don't leave me!" Kol shouted delirious.

They all rush to Kol to hold him down. "Shh-shh." Elijah shushed Kol in a soothing manner. "There may be a way to save them." Freya said. "Then I will move the world to make it so." Klaus said. "Me and Daniel need time." Freya said. "You think I should stand trial before that death-dealing mob?" Klaus asked. "Well, that's the easy part. In order to save your family, you need to come out of that trial alive." Daniel said.

Later

Freya is writing a spell down with Daniel helping her, Kol suffers a delirium. "No! Don't hurt her!" Kol shouted. "Freya! It's getting worse." Hayley said. "Don't hurt her, Davina!" Kol shouted. "Calm down, calm down, okay?" Hayley said to Kol. "Davina is gone. She's gone." Kol cried out. "She's at peace now. It's okay." Hayley said. Kol grabbed Hayley's throat and started to strangle her. Elijah comes over to help. "Brother! Calm yourself." Elijah commanded. He then looked at Hayley. "Are you okay?" Elijah asked. Hayley nodded slightly. "Yeah, I'm fine." Hayley said.

Later

Freya looks after Kol whilst Daniel finishes off writing the spell. Hayley's phone is ringing. "Rebekah, is it over?" Hayley asked. "found a way to stay alive. Our plan worked. Now it's up to you, Hayley. Make his sacrifice count." Rebekah said. "I will, hang thight. I'll come for you soon." Hayley said. Elijah, Kol, Hayley, Daniel, Mia and Freya are gathered around the table. A paper with all names of the siblings is on it. "Rebekah's dagger. It has her blood." Freya said. Reciting incantation, all are holding hands, Freya's and Daniel's chanting louder and louder untill the Mikaelson spirits are gone, and Hayley, Mia and Daniel are watching them lifeless, Rebekah also falls in Hayley's apartment. Daniel sighed. "I'll go get the coffins." Daniel said. Hayley nodded.

Later

Hayley looks at the coffins of The Mikaelsons in the back of the truck. She gives a finger kiss to Elijah before she closes the lid. She looks over at Daniel and Mia. "I'll meet you guys there. I've gotta detour I need to stop at." Daniel said. "Where?" Mia asked. "Some old friends." Daniel said. Hayley and Mia step in the cabin, Hayley puts Hope's safety belt on and starts the engine. There's the letter from Klaus to Hope in sight.

"My dearest Hope. I do not know how this will find you. As a child full of wonder, a teenager full of opinions, or a woman with the world at her feet. I write to tell you that I love you, and to explain that in our family's darkest hour, I was called upon to save my siblings, and so I did." Klaus's voice over said. "Please, do not mourn me. Whatever pain I endure, I do in service of those I love. My sole regret is that I will be away from you." Klaus's voice carried on. "Be good to your mother." Klaus's voice said.

Hope is sitting in the truck, watching Hayley drive. She looks over at Mia who is looking out of the window. "I draw comfort knowing that she will protect you. And I know her, Daniel and Mia will not rest until our family is united..." Klaus's voice said. "...until then, my sacrifice will allow you to grow. To become the beautiful daughter I can now only imagine..." Klaus's voice said. Hayley and Mia leave the city limits of New Orleans, driving the truck. Daniel also leaves the city limits but drives in a different direction to them. "...Please remember that you are the legacy this family has always desired, the promise we fought to protect. You are, and always will be....our hope." Klaus's voice said.

A few hours later, Daniel is still driving when he comes upon a familiar sign. One he smiles to slightly.
