*the steam from your coffee warms your face against the cold air. you wanted to sit with your thoughts after last night. it was great. but weird. elijah left so quick after. you thought something was wrong but didn't want to press the issue so you just thought in silence*

"hey kiddo."
*a deep monotone voice spoke above you."
"d-dad..?"
*your eyes widen as you remember what gwen said... she killed all of your family? so how was your dad standing here?*
"you spoken to the family recently"
"no.."
*you assumed he was trying to figure out if you knew*
"sit. please."
*you try to keep up the facade. but underneath your skin you were shaking. you could feeling you pupils dialating. somethings off. who is this man?*
"how are you?"
*you begin to ask your finger tapping on your coffee.*
"fine. hey, listen. do you know where rose-marie is? she's quite big around here. think she's royalty or something.. but have you seen her?"
"uhh the name doesn't ring a bell. sorry."

*why was he asking about rose-marie? why does he want to see her? he knew you were lying. you got pretty good at finding lies within faces ever since a child but when you became a vampire it got easier. hearing their heartbeats*

"okay.."
*his eyes dart around the room. he matches your finger taps with his own*
"um.. i have to go i'll see you later kiddo."
*now you realise it... he's never called you that.*
"okay! are you staying for a while?"
"think so"
*he looked more crazed that concerned*
"okay. well nice seeing you dad."
"you too kiddo."

*he left the shop.*

*you sip your cold coffee whilst you wait a few minutes for your "dad" to get as far away as he could. when you gave it enough time you sped towards the apartment*
"you okay aloy?"
*freya stands in the kitchen*
"where's ....klaus and.... elijah?"
"outside"
"can... you get them please. i have something to tell you all."
"uh okay."
*you tell all the three mikaelsons about your encounter with your dad*
"do you think he is your dad?"
"with the amount i've changed? anything's possible. but, deep down. it's not him. he's looking for rose-marie."

*whilst you were still talking the doorbell rang and klaus went to open the door. a brown letter stood beneath his feet and in utter shock as he opened it he said*

"to my... dearest kidnappers, it's come to my attention that someone's dearest daddy is in town. of course i've took him. now will you save him like my slaves saved me? or will you let him die in my chamber, we will have to see,
yours sincerely,
rose-marie"

*no one talked for a couple seconds after klaus had finished. it wasn't wasn't out of fear, but more out of not knowing what to do. you just said you thought he wasn't your father. so why would you save him?*
