Almost is Never Enough

He What?

Emma

After I got off the phone, I walked back into the main room where Klaus was waiting for me.

I sit on the couch next to him and its silent for a while. I can tell he wants to know what my weakness is. I'm not gonna tell him just yet. I almost did earlier, but I think I'll wait a little longer. Kol and Davina are the only ones that know.

"I'm not gonna tell you yet. I will soon, but not yet. Please just trust me and give me time." I say and he nods.

Klause and I are now at the map table and I'm doing a locator spell to find the British Men of Letters HQ. Once I get a location, we're off. We took one of the cars in the garage instead of walking.

"Emma, we're going to be heading back to New Orleans soon. We only came to get you and go home," Klaus says.

"What? I-"

"Let me finish, Love. After seeing you and you're life here, your sister doesnt want to pull you away from here and quite frankly, I dont either. So if you want to return home with us, we will be leaving in 4 days. If you dont, at least come and say goodbye to us. And maybe visit on the weekends."  He says. I dont know how to respond to this. I feel like things will be better if I go back. But I dont want to leave my family. I can't leave Dad. What am I gonna do?

"You dont have to decide right now. Even if you decide to stay here and you change your mind later, that's alright. We want you home, but we can wait until you're ready." He says, breaking my thoughts. At that moment, I knew my father and I were going to be okay. Anyone that knows Klaus Mikaelson knows that he takes what he wants when he wants it. And if he wants me to go back to New Orleans with him, I would be packing my things right now instead of going on a father-daughter murder spree.

"Thank you, I'll think about it. I promise." I see him smile and it makes me smile.

We pull up to the building where the British Men of Letters are. Klaus and I get out of the car and walk up to the front door. We share a look and smirk before I open the door with my magic.

⚠️⚠️⚠️SLIGHT GORE AND VIOLENCE UP AHEAD⚠️⚠️⚠️

Omniscient
Klaus and Emma are in the building tearing people apart. They feed, rip heads off, rip hearts out, you name it and they've probably done it. They've torn through a whole floor within ten minutes. Making there way up to the second story, they shift and repeat the process.

After a good 20 minutes, the whole building is cleared out except for two people, Ketch and Toni. Emma shifts back and tells Klaus to call kol to get her weakness out of the building.

E- Call Uncle Kol and tell him to get here fast and get my weakness out of here while I deal with these two?

K- Of course Love

Klaus shifts back and pulls out his phone, sending a message to Kol with Emma's request and their location.

Emma kills the two in a true tribrid fashion: feeding, ripping out their hearts, and taking a bite. (If you know, you know😌)

⚠️⚠️⚠️OKAY ITS OVER. SENSITIVE READERS MAY CONTINUE⚠️⚠️⚠️

Klaus and Emma exit the warehouse and set it on fire. Kol texted, informing them that he got what he came for. The father-daughter duo made there way back to the bunker, where Klaus bid Emma goodnight and left. Kol had already dropped off the package and left. Emma, exhausted from the day's events, takes a long, hot  shower then goes to bed.

I was spending the day with Hope since Klaus left. What Emma said hurt and I cant stop thinking about it. I don't mean to be a bad mom. I just.. I get so jealous. She considers these people family and it feels like she replaced us.

"What's wrong, mom?" Hope asks. I look up and respond.

"Its just what Emma said." Hope rolls her eyes and gives me a 'really' look.

"Honestly Mom, I cant blame her. You're not treating her right. In case you forget, you are also part of the reason she left in the first place. Then you tell her that the people that have raised her and taken care of her aren't her family. That cuts deep. That's like saying that Uncle Elijah is nice to you because your the mother of his brother's child. But he loves you. He was there and loved you when nobody else did. Even though you guys have a romantic relationship and not a family relationship, it's the same concept with Emma and the Winchesters. They were there, we weren't. That doesnt mean we aren't her family as well, it just means that she has people outside of us that she considers family too. Let her be happy. Its gonna take some time for her to feel comfortable and welcome with us." Hope tells me. She's right.

"When did you get so wise?" I say, grabbing her hand. She just smiles and laughs.

*Time Skip: The day before the Mikaelsons leave*

Emma

I woke up to the front door closing. I focus my energy on whose at the door and see that it's Sammy. I jump up, change clothes and run out of my room. He barely gets a change to sit his stuff down before I jump into his arms.

"UNCLE SAMMY! You're home early! Wheres Dad? Is he still in the car? How did the case go? What was it?" I bombarded him with questions. Sam has a sad face and I know something is wrong. Wheres my dad?

"Sam, where is he? Where's my dad?" I ask, fear clear in my voice.

"He's gone, Em. It was a vamp's nest. He got pinned against a pole and there was uh," he drags his hand across his face, trying to stop his tears, "there was, a lever and he got pushed into it. He couldnt move. There was nothing I could do. He told me to tell you that he loves you, so much. He said not to try to bring hom back because he can be at peace. And to give your family a chance. He said that you'll regret it if you don't." I heard everything he said, but it didnt click. I dont want it to. Without a word, I walk back to my room, closing and locking my door. I just lay on my bed in silence until I fall asleep, thinking about Dad.
