A New Beginning | Emma Petrova (TVD & TO) [BOOK 2]

Season 8 - A Few Years Later

2018

I walk through the house with a mug in my hand, heading to the room they're playing right now. Hayley has gone out this morning as she's gotten a message hinting to her where one of the packs is inhabiting.

"Hey girls. What are you doing?" I question both girls as I get to the doorframe of their shared room.

Four years ago, Hayley and I decided to get shelter with Mary in a house in the middle of nowhere, not having a phone or any contact with others. The contact I had with others in the last few years was either when I found one of the packs, fought someone or my family sent me a message, especially to keep me updated on what's going on in Mystic Falls.

The last few years have been both a blessing and a curse. I haven't see Nik in years, heard about him, heard his voice and I miss him. I also miss the rest of the Mikaelson's but it shatters me everyday when I wake up and my girls grow up and they can't see them.

"Mom!" Both girls exclaim, running up to me and hugging my legs. "We missed you!" They say in unison and I laugh since I was only gone for 10 minutes to make myself coffee.

"So what have you two been up?" I question them, making them talk at the same time but I can't understand what either is saying, but they still both one of my arms and pull me to sit down with them.

"Girls! I can't understand you two, if you don't talk one at a time." I explain which makes the girls look at each other and after a few seconds of telepathic talk, they turn to me with the dolls that me and Hayley bought them.

Hope clears her throat, the two girls sitting in front of me, making me raise my eyebrows in amusement. "We have named our daughters and sons!" Hope exclaims with a gigantic grin on her face. She picks up a doll with brown, long, curly hair with a beautiful blue dress, "This is Emma."

"Aw, you named the doll after me?" She nods softly at me. "What about you, sweet pea?"

"I named this one Hayley." She points to the other doll with brown, wavy, long-ish hair with a yellow dress.

"Miracle and I have decided to name this one Bekah, Freya, Elena, this one Bonnie and that one Caroline." I chuckle as Hope points to the dolls in front of us.

I have told them stories and showed the two of them pictures of their family, trying to keep the memory of them as alive as I can. Obviously, Hayley and I haven't told them everything about our families, we try to keep their innocence.

Miracle grins at me as she points at the guy dolls. "This one is Nik, Elijah, Kol and that one Jeremy and the twins are Damon and Stefan." I smile at the two girls as they wait for me to speak.

"I love their names." I smile sadly, knowing they are missing people they never met.

Everyday they want to know more about them, about what happend before they were born, about everyone that cares about them. Everyday they want to meet them but we need to be careful, we can't bring people around it's the rules and we never take them with us.

"When will mom be back?" Miracle questions with her big eyes.

I sigh, "Soon, sweet pea."

Sometimes I catch Miracle having conversations with her dolls as if they were real but to my surprised she created her first spell where the dolls would come to life.

About three years ago I found a witch and she helped me figure out my gifts since she was enemies the original witch. Yes, she's a very old witch but a smart one because she made everyone forget she was ever 'friends' with the original witch.
