In a new light

Chapter 11: Mom? Dad?

"There are whispers about you Caroline Forbes the woman who was searching for an impossible answer. What if I told you I had that answer"?

Caroline looked suspicious at the woman there was no way this person could have the answer. She had searched years for a solution to the merge the only thing she and Bonnie could come up with was that one of the twins turned into a vampire and as much as she loved being a vampire, she would not let her daughters become one just because there is no other way.

"I think we should talk about this later because if you do have the answer I would be forever in your debt" said Caroline.

Flora looked around the room seeing the many curious faces looking at her like that would give them the answer for what's going on.

"I understand, now I and Emilia will leave you to make your decision and we'll go visit our relatives now we're here, Pedro would you come with me I am very interested in getting to know you."

Pedro looked at Lizzie for conformation, who gave him a nod. Lizzie let him down on the floor and he skipped over at the woman who was supposed to be his grandmother.

Lizzie knew Pedro's story, He was orphaned at the age of three and once he turned 5 his magic began causing trouble at the local orphanage that is how Matt found him and brought him here, the second he walked through that gate Lizzie knew he would be important to her.

"Mom?" asked Josie "What was that all about?"

"I'll explain everything to you after she tells me what she knows I promise."

"What Caroline! We were not going to tell them that is what we agreed on when they were born." Said an agitated Alaric.

This day had could not have gone worse for him, when he woke up there was an angry Caroline shouting at him then there is the parent problem and now this could it get any worse?

"We should talk about their demand right?" asked Hope.

Everybody was silent in the room. They all knew what had to happen and even without the parents coming to the school he would have been fired.

"Are you serious just going to give into them, no discussion?" Asked Alaric when he looked around and saw their faces.

"There is no other way Ric we can't afford to lose all these students, and it's not like we're asking you to immediately move out of the school you can stay for as long as you want." Answered Caroline.

Without saying anything Alaric opened the door and stormed out of the room. Josie and Lizzie sighed it was hard for them even though he hadn't been really president in their lives nowadays he was still their father even with all his faults.

"Alright people I suggest we all go rest and enjoy the rest of our day, I will talk to you later" Caroline said the last part directed to the twins.

The teenagers walked outside while the Mikaelson's stayed inside the office.

Hope turned to Lizzie "I'll see you around seven for our date?"

"Of course"

Hope was growing more stressed with the second she had already made sure everything for the date was set up, but she just couldn't find an outfit.

"Hope dear I could hear your frustration from the other side of the school what's going on?" Asked Rebekah.

Hope couldn't be happier seeing her aunt standing in the doorway, if there was one person who could find the perfect outfit for tonight it was her.

"I need your help finding an outfit for my date with Lizzie."

"Ooh I already have something in mind, do you remember that outfit I got you last summer when we were in Paris, I think it would be perfect to wear right now."
