Almost is Never Enough

The Man in the Cloak

*A couple months later*

Emma

Its been a couple months since Sam came to work at the Salvatore School.

He's a really good teacher and I think his class is becoming a very popular favorite.

I am currently walking with Jack, Hope and Landon through the forest when I see a dark figure out of the corner of my eye. I slowly let go of Jack's hand and slip away from the group. I made my way over the figure in a cloak and stand right in front of it.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want?" I demand. The figure lets out a low chuckle and I can tell it's a man. He lowers his hood and I'm meet with light colored eyes and a charming smile.

"My name is Kal. Im a sorcerer. And you're Emma Mikaelson. You're name is pretty famous to the supernatural world. You're considered the most powerful being to ever exist. As for what I want, it's simple really. I want you, well your power to be exact. But in order to truly get your power, we have to be married. " He says.

"Yeah, good luck with that" I scoff at him.

"Oh, I'll get what from you Emma. You can bet on that." He smirks at me and disappears in a cloud of black smoke.

I shake my head and run to catch up my boyfriend, sister, and friend.

"Hope. We need to talk." I say,  grabbing my sister's hand. She stops walking and turns around to look at me.

"What's up, Em?" She asks.

"Alone. For now, this is a Mikaelson situation." I respond pointedly.

We turn to the boys, giving them hugs and talking them we'd catch up with them later.

Hope and I are now back in our room and I'm telling her what Kal said.

"We have to go tell Dad." She says and I nod in agreement.

"Yeah, but first Ric. Then me, you and Jack can go back to New Orleans." I tell her and she agrees.

We walk to Ric's office and tell him the situation. He gives us time off of school so we can go home.

*8 hours later*

We're currently walking into the living room of the compound.

"Mom! Dad!" I call out.

Within seconds they're in front of us along with everyone else.

"What is it, Em?" Mom asks.

As I'm explaining what happened, Kol and Davina greet Jack as he tells them how he's alive.

After explaining my situation to everyone and introducing them to Jack, Dad thought it would be best for us to stay home for a while. I knew it would be hard to convince him otherwise, then the whole family agreed except Hope. Then to make it even better, Jack freakin agreed.

So here we are, sitting in the living room and discussing what we're gonna do.

"Neither Hope or Emma leave this building without one of us to accompany them." Elijah says and everyone agrees. I sigh but don't say anything.

Everyone continues talking while I space out, thinking about Dad and Grandpa John.

I miss them. Grandpa even took an immediate liking to me and he hates anything supernatural after what happened to Grandma.

I tune in to the conversation just in time for everyone to go quiet. They're all staring at something so I turn to see Gabriel standing there. Not only is Gabriel my best friend, but he's also like an uncle to me.

Dad is about to launch at him when Kol places a hand on his shoulder and holds him in place.

"UNCLE GABE!" I scream, running towards him and jumping in his arms.

"Hi Princess. How are you?" He asks, hugging me back.

"I'm okay I think. I mean I have some super powerful sorcerer coming after me for power, but okay." I respond jumping down.

"Guys, this is Gabriel. The archangel and my friend slash uncle" I say turning to my family.

They nod at him and Jack smiles at his uncle.

After the unanimous decision that Hope and I can't leave the house by ourselves, Gabe took me and Hope out to play tricks on people. The whole family came with us, just because they thought it would be entertaining.
