Lost Daughter

Twenty

The ritual wasn't that far away. Holly laid against Stefan as he was trying his best to keep her calm and not stress. Right now, Stefan had Holly in the tub with him. "Do you feel relaxed, baby?" He asked.

"With you? Yes." She replies. "Just wish to forget everything."

Stefan smiled. "How about we go look around for things for the wedding? Forget what is happening. Thomas and Damon has it from here, but you are the only person I worry more about." She smiled as he kissed her head. "I love you, Holly and maybe we can go to Alaric's. Meet the real Klaus."

Holly was unsure. She knew he was looking for her, but at the same time, she was nervous. She didn't know if he would actually want to see her. Stefan knew she was quiet. "Stefan, do you think he would want to see me?"

"After all these years of him searching for you, yes." Stefan tells her. "Let's get out of this tub and go meet him."

"Okay. Just...don't leave my side."

Stefan got her to look at him. "Never."

After getting dressed, they went to see Klaus. They didn't want to be apart of the drama and Holly, well, she's just wanting a drama free life with Stefan. To have their happily ever after. Walking into the apartment, they saw Katherine. "You're still here?"

"I was supposed to be free. What happened?"

"I think he is one step ahead of everyone and he knows the sneaky little bitch like you would once again get out of his hands again." Holly pointed out. "You truly outsmarted him the last time, but this time, daddy...shit...Klaus is making sure that you don't get away this time."

Stefan saw the time and walked to the window to see the full moon. The blonde got beside him and saw the moon. "It's happening." He nodded. "Wait. Who does he have for the vampire..." grabbing her phone, she saw a message from Jenna. "No." She says as she listened to the message.

Holly, it's me, Jenna. Listen, I don't have much time because I'm trying to keep you and Jeremy safe. I know about you, but I want you to know to not hate your father. Katherine tricked me. I won't be with you anymore once the full moon sets. I want you to do one thing for me. Be happy, get to know your father, even if he is the cause of my death, find a way to start a family with Stefan, and please do your best to protect your brother and sister. I love you, Holly Gilbert.

Screaming out, Stefan ran and held Holly as she broke down. She looked up glaring at Katherine. "You! You had to trick her. You could have picked anyone but you went after my aunt!" She cried out. "I should kill you!"

Stefan kept her in his arms as he carried her into another room. Katherine was more terrified of Holly than she is of Klaus. Looking at the time, the ritual should be over. Hearing silence meant Stefan got her to calm down.

In the room, Stefan held her against the wall as he kissed her. Anything to keep her from doing what she's about to do. Picking her up, he carried her to the bed. Lying down, she looked at him as she rested her head on the pillow. Holly placed her hand on his cheek as he smiled at her. Tonight, they were going to mourn the death of Jenna Summers. The one aunt that helped her parents out. "No matter what, I'll always be here."

"Forever?"

"Always."

The next day, Holly over slept as she didn't really want to go to the funeral. Stefan walked in with breakfast as Klaus followed. "Raise in shine, beautiful." She heard as she looked at him. "Holly, baby, this is Klaus."

"Hi."

"Hello, princess. I was told by Stefan the pain you went through last night. I am so sorry." She nodded. "I would like to know my daughter and knowing that I hurt you, I would understand..."

"I want to leave Mystic Falls." She states as she looks at Stefan. "As long as Stefan comes."

"Your fiancée can come as Thomas made an agreement to save Damon."

Looking at one another, Stefan sat down as they started eating as Klaus told them his plan. To create an hybrid army. This time, he told them everything why he wants to. To keep the wolves from being in pain during every full moon and to protect his little girl.  Walking out to see how Thomas was doing, he was ready to leave.

The lost daughter has been found and Klaus will make sure he never loses her ever again.
