Stefanie's POV
We waited in the living room for Freya, Keelin and Niklaus junior. When they came we all got out of the house to go to the amusement park.
Now my arm is around Elijah's and we are walking to the park. Near us are Kol, Davina, Marcel, Rebekah, Freya, Keelin, Niklaus junior, Klaus and Hope.
Elijah was talking with Hope about her school and friends, and about the boy she likes, Landon, I heard.
And Klaus...he was like standing alone next to Hope, walking and looking in the ground. He was thinking about something. I let go of Elijah's arm, and went next to him. It was weird for me, because I have never seen Klaus alone, and not enthusiast.
- Hey, Klaus! - I said.
- Hi, Stefanie!- he said.
- You seem sad. Why are you standing here, all alone?- I said, feeling pity for him.
- Me? Sad? No. What makes you think that, love?- he said, but there was sadness, mixed with happiness in his voice.
- Okay, I will believe that you are not actually sad, but we will talk later. Okay?- I said.
- Yeah, whatever, okay.- he said.
Niklaus's POV
6 hours ago.
The time 12:30.
I decided to take a walk to the city I build, and so many tragedies happened. It's my last day here. Tomorrow I will go back to Mystic Falls. I don't know why I like this city. It has only brought me pain. Only pain.
I am at the cemetery. Where New Orleans witches are buried. Here is my mother's and my aunt's grave. They were both powerful witches. Looking at their grave reminded me of old times. When I was still human. Back then, the world was very beautiful. Even though many attacks from the werewolves happened. When I made that horse for Rebekah...and it turned out that the wood I used to do it was white oak...
When Rebekah was scared at night and I woke up and confronted her. Sometimes I even sat next to her because she was too scared to sleep.
And that night...when we became vampires...when I killed someone for the first time...when my so called father learned that I was a werewolf...no one suffered as much as I did after that day...
- Pity for old times?- a familiar voice said.
- Stefanie...what are you doing here? How did you find me?- I said, surprised.
- Oh, you know, the fact that I loved you and your brother explains that. You miss the old times Niklaus, don't you?- she said.
- Evelyn! What are you doing here? Look at you! Still alive!- I said, surprised by her apperance, but trying to not show it.
- Yeah, well, I'm here. Flesh and blood. And look at you too. All funny and looking at your mother's grave.- she said. Ironic.
- Haha. Don't get it as a sign of weakness, love. It's my last day here. I just thought I'd come here to visit my dear mother. Actually, the one that should be asking questions here is me. What are you doing here, Evelyn?- I asked her.
She got closer to me. Our bodies were touching. She touched my lips with her finger.
- I forgot how sexy you are! And every day you become hotter, even though the age you're in! - she said with our bodies still nearly touching and with a sarcastic voice.
- And I forgot how ironic you were! Tell me something dear Evelyn, how did you survive through the centuries?- I said.
- Oh, my God, Niklaus! You say that as I'm a regular vampire! I'm an original too! I'm a Mikaelson! We all have a connection with each-other...- she said, touching my chest.
- You may be an original, because my mother made you so, but you aren't and never will be a Mikaleson!- I interrupted , pushing her hand away and angry.
- Oh, dear, it seems I've hit a nerve! Did I mention that you look soo hot when you're angry? - she said, touching my hair this time.
- Can you please, stop touching me?- I said, pushing her hand away.- I asked you a question earlier. WHY did you come here?
- Okay, okay, relax. I've come here because I missed you. All of you. I haven't seen you in centuries. Since I became a vampire. But I can't say I didn't want to come back. To you. To you my love. And you don't know the whole story. - she said.
- What do you mean? I don't know the whole story? I loved you, you loved me, but you loved Elijah too, and two nights after mother made us vampires, when Elijah asked you to run away with him, I asked you the same thing. You said no to both of us. And that broke our hearts. - I said,my thoughts of that night really made me relive that pain...
- Oh dear! You don't know the best part of the story! Yeah, I broke both of your hearts that night, but that wasn't the real me.- she said. I sat in one place in the cemetery next to hear to hear the "real" story. - You see, you don't know the whole and real story.
- And what is the real story?- I asked.- If it's convincing, I will choose to believe you. If not I won't believe you.
- Okay, well, that night, after your mother made us vampires, Dahlia, your aunt, came to me. I was stuck indoors because your mother didn't make us daylight rings yet. So, I was sleeping when she came to me. I didn't know it was your aunt, I didn't know that you two even had an aunt. She did some witchy-things and made me to go as far away from the two of you as possible. She told me that I did' t love the two of you. It was like compeling. But you know how strong Dahlia is. - she said, looking at the sky and sometimes at me.
- And I am supposed to believe that? And how did you come here, near me, now? She told you to stay as far away as possible right?- I said in didbelief. It seemed absurd, why would Dahlia do that?
- Believe what you want. The night Dahlia died, the magic she did to me wore off. Everything came like a flashback. The moment she did that damn magic to me....our happy moments... she erased them too. She said that I should see you, and Elijah, as the monsters you truly are. But let's be honest: I'm a monster just as much as you and Elijah are. 'Till the night Dahlia died I remembered just the bad moments with the two of you. When we argued...when I saw you two drinking blood...killing innocent people...I was so angry with her for making me to go away from you, and to believe that I don't love you anymore...but I found out she had already died so...- she said.
- Ugh! God! What you say makes sense, but why would Dahlia do that, huh? Why would she make you believe that you don't love us anymore? And go far away from us? - I said, getting up.- Besides, if you loved me so much, why didn't you come to me straight after you found out about Dahlia and her magic?
- I don't know why she would do that Niklaus! I don't know! I never did. I just kept living my miserable life in Chicago, as a waitress! And after I found out about the love that I had and still do about you two,I followed you and Elijah. Everywhere you went. I wanted to make sure you wanted me before I appeared to you after all these years! And I've learned everything new about your whole family.- she said.
- Oh, yeah like hell you did! Tell me then, everything new that happened this past ten years since Dahlia died!
- Okay, let's se: you have a daughter, Hope, and she's a tribrid, Elijah was in love with Hayley but she died, you were in love with Cami, but she also died, Rebekah and Marcel are now engaged, Freya and Keelin are married and have a boy, Niklaus, and Kol and Davina are married as well! You and Elijah are living here in Mystic Falls and Elijah's new girlfriend is my shadow-self, doppelganger, Stefanie!It's weird, and scary, how everybody around you dies! I guess Hayley was right after all, loving any of us is a death sentence, isn't it?- she said.
Wow! She knew everything about me and my family. She spied on us for years, and we didn't notice! I don't know whether to believe her or not!
- And how is possible that you have spied on us for years, and we didn't notice?- I asked.
-Well, you were so busy dealing with Lucien, Aurora, Marcel, The Hollow, the witches and everything annoying left!
God, she did know everything in our lives for the past ten years!
- When my happy memories of you came to me...I was...so miserable...I began to feed on people more often than I used to, sometimes even killed them, I cried every night, regretting that I said no to you that night when you asked me to run away with you. - she said, drops of tears falling from her eyes.- You know, when Dahlia kind of compeled me that night, she kidnaped me to her home. There I met Freya. She was such a good girl, but she suffered everyday from Dahlia. She made her use magic non-stop even though she was pregnant. And when she lost the baby...god, it was the worst day for me, and for her. I had build a spiritual connection with her...we became best friends. And me...Dahlia just used me to make sure I had somehow forgotten about you two. She used me because of my strength and my ability to compel people. She gave me a little glass of blood once a week, just soo I wouldn't dessicate, and when she wanted me to work, she gave me more blood to regain my strength. It was a real torture. Dahlia also hated vampires too, so I had to endure her hattred against me too. She held me captive for almost four centuries. Then I went to Chicago to live my life.
- Evelyn I...I'm sorry. For everything. I'm so sorry you suffered that long, I'm sorry for your miserable life...I understand you. I do...- I said, getting closer to her.
- Oh, Niklaus...I forgot to mention that now that you have a daughter, you've become more caring, more forgiving, more kind, more human! And I like this side of yours. And I'm sorry for Cami and Hayley. They were really good people. - she said, holding my hands.
Then my phone rang and Rebekah asked me where I was and I couldn't tell her I was with Evelyn so I told her I was at my mother's grave. She told me that I did well by going there and that I should go home to eat lunch as a family.
- You go, Nik. I will wait a little longer to face your family. But we will meet again. Soon.- she said, still holding my hands.
- Bye Nik!
- Goodbye Evelyn.- I said. Then she gave me a kiss in the cheek and left. Truth to be told I was shocked. I thought I forgot Evelyn but clearly, I didn't. And all that story she told me...it seemed quite true.
