The next day I was looking for Hope because I had decided to stay with her in New Orleans for a while, I couldn't find her, Freya or my daughters anywhere and so I just shrugged it off and assumed that they were hanging out or something and so I don't pay much attention to it until I notice the madness that ensures outside, a hurricane had literally come from nowhere.
I run through the scarlet blood falling from the sky to try and find anyone who would be able to help me find the mikaelsons responsible for this and fast. I wanted to know which two mikaelsons were together and why.
I bump into Marcel although it's pretty hard to see him through the thick warm blood that was falling into our eyes, "Thea, do you know which two mikaelsons are together?" He asks me and I shake my head disappointedly, "I was just about to ask you." He sighs as we take cover, "we have to find them before the plagues are all fulfilled." I nod wiping the warm liquid from my face, "split up?" I suggest prompting a nod from him, "yeah, but we have to try and separate them as soon as possible, we don't have much time."
I'm going past st Anne's church when I notice some lights from the inside, when I enter I see Klaus and Elijah and Rebekah on the ground, "Hope what are you doing?" I ask her in disbelief,"aunty Thea please don't stop me, I'm taking the hollow's power back "you could get yourself killed." I tell her, "are you going to help me or not?" She questions and I sigh, "I can't help you honey, there's a reason your family took the power and this is too dangerous." She nods and then lifts her hand, "I'm sorry but I can't let you stop me." I drop to the floor but when I look back up I'm at the compound.
"You have got to be joking." I huff as I observe the two mikaelsons above me, "Kol, Rebekah lovely to see you as always." I grin as they help me up, "same to you." They smile back, "she sent you here because you tried to stop her?" I nod, "what's the way out?" I ask, "keys, we need to find keys that Hope has assigned to us all in a select hiding place." I nod again, "sounds easy enough how many have you guys got?" They sigh disheartening me slightly, "one." Kol smiles holding his up, "alright well we've got no time to waste." I say as Rebekah and I go to her room to search. I notice marcel stood at the doorway as though he wanted to say something to Rebekah and so I take that as my que to leave.
"Thea why don't you go and help Elijah since you're the only one who can probably stand him at the moment." Klaus suggests as I search with him, I nod and leave to find the amnesiac brother.
"Hey, you need some help?"I ask kindly after observing Marcel storm from the room in a mood. Elijah turns to me with a slightly relieved smile, "who are you?" He asks, "Thea Gilbert-Parker but I usually just go with Thea Parker, a friend of the family you could say." I introduce myself holding my hand out, he looks down and takes it, "nice to meet you." I nod, "how close to the family would you say you were?" He asks in interest, "pretty close, I have been for years." I shrug, "were you close to me?" He questions, "fairly, I was closer to the other three to be honest, but we had a good relationship." He nods and gives me a sad smile, "Well you seem lovely, I'm sorry I don't remember it." I shake my head, "it's all good, I hope you were happy these past seven years." I tell him sincerely, "I was, I met a woman although she's dying because of my so called brother, have you ever been in love?" I nod at his question, and he gives me a look to continue, "I was fortunate to find love twice in my life." I smile softly.
"Have you ever been unfortunate enough to lose that love?" He asks, and I nod, "yes actually, my first love was actually your brother Kol." Elijah's eyebrows raise in surprise, "what happened." He seems interested, "my brother and my sister murdered him right in front of me, I tried to stop them obviously but, they sprayed me with vervain and held me back so all I could do was watch." His eyes widen, "and I watched my brother in law slap the head off my second love, my husband so I'd say I've been unfortunate enough for this life time." I shrug, watching the sympathy and shock on his face grow. "I-" he doesn't even know what to say.
"Yeah, trust me I know how you're feeling, and I'm positive that we'll get back in time to save your fiancé but first I believe that we have a key to look for?" He sends me a thankful smile and surprisingly pulls me in for a hug. "Thank you, I uh I don't understand how you can be so kind to me after-" he trails off seeming uncomfortable, "Hayley," I sigh as he looks away, "I was very close with her, but I also know how much she loved you, and wouldn't want me to treat you badly, because you weren't yourself." He looks a bit hurt at that, "I still don't understand your kindness." I shrug, "I'm just a very nice person I guess? I don't know I can't hold things against people in moderation, I mean your brother murdered my aunt, your sister attempted murder on mine, my siblings and friends murdered my boyfriend and then tried it again multiple times on my husband, and then succeeded. I mean the point is if you let the hate build and keep it locked up in your heart, where does it get you?" I say, "you know something, Hayley was the only person that I knew that hadn't tried anything that had brought me and pain or sadness, I know that you didn't know her or care but she was a good person, and she didn't deserve that." I tell him watching the slight guilt flounder in his eyes for a moment.
He opens his mouth but before he can say anything I hear a voice, "Mom? Mom? Mom are you here?" My eyes widen as I recognise it, I run out into the courtyard to see my daughter stood there afraid. "Mom." She breathes out in relief before running forward and engulfing me into a hug.
"Kaiara what are you doing here?" I ask as I notice the other Mikaelsons also make their way here at the sound, "Hope put me here, we found her in St. Anne's trying to take the power back, I-I tried to stop her but she told me that there was no stopping it and put me here." She explains, "what about your sister?" I ask, "she's helping, she was meant to distract me so I wouldn't try and stop Hope or tell you," I had to admire my daughters sense of loyalty even if she had to think these things through, "Hope begged us to help, but I couldn't mom it's dangerous isn't it? Is Hope gonna be ok?" I meet klaus's eye and see the worry screaming in them. "Hope's gonna be fine, we'll make sure of it."
Klaus then attacks Elijah, Rebekah and Kol kinda intervene and try and help him figure out the whole red door thing after he begs them saying if they ever had cared about him they'd help him and his fiancé.
Marcel then thankfully comes with the final key, and after explaining each meaning for each key we can finally leave. "Come on. Let's be done with my daughter's maze of metaphors." Klaus says as we all make our way to the door, after all the locks are opened we all step into a pure white corridor with doors upon doors and one shrinking red at the end of the hall, contrasting greatly with all of the white.
"Oh, bloody hell. Now we're in Elijah's mental maze. Of all the hells I've had to endure..." kol and I share a glance and I shake my head at him, "The door. What is this, Hope's revenge? Imprison me till I reclaim all of my memories, forcing me to accept accountability for all of this?" Elijah questions as we all find our own doors, mine and Kaiara's was together opposite from Kol's. "Well, as much as I love a cherry on top of a scheme... ...I have somewhere else to be." He says, "yeah, I'm sorry Elijah but..." I trail off and share another glance with kol we both smile at each other before opening our doors and stepping through.
When my eyes open, I sit up to see the other Mikaeslons and Marcel still unconscious although Hope, Kiara and Arabella are no where to be seen. A second after I wake Marcel joins us and then Rebekah before Klaus and then finally Elijah. We watch as he lies there for a moment longer absorbing his memories before he gets up as he sobs. His sobs are so heartbreaking that all of us around him also tear up feeling his pained cries in our chests.
He had remembered Hayley and now he felt the pain of her death just like the rest of us did but he had to deal with the fact, that it was all his fault.
Hey guys so this is nearly done for good since this is just the parallel/ buildup for the legacies fic but since Thea is a teacher at the school don't worry there will still be plenty of her, also I picked the twins a while ago but forgot to show you guys because I'm smart like that, but Maddison beer is gonna be Arabella because I described Arabella as looking like Thea and you can't tell me that Maddison doesn't look like Megan fox (the person I used for Thea)
Like the resemblance is uncanny, she's legit a younger Megan.
Also Sabrina Carpenter will be Kaiara because she has blue eyes and blonde hair and lowkey reminds me of Liv and Luke like I had described her to have taken after them slightly and I mean slightly because she doesn't look that much like them, also she gives me the sweet vibes I imagined for kaiara and if you don't like my casting then 🤷🏻♀️ it's just who I imagined you're totally free to imagine other people if you want.
I mean if you don't agree that's fine, also I don't really know for who to be the love interests for Kaiara, for Arabella I was thinking Jed and either Raphael or that human boy Ethan.
But I'm not really sure for Kaiara I mean Raphael is a contender but I don't really know who else, if you have any ideas let me know?
Also I'm gonna write Arabella's book first since I'm more sure about her love interests, I was originally gonna write both of their love stories in one book but I thought it would've been a bit much and have decided to separate them, I actually think I'm most excited to write the scene where they meet kai haha.
