Eva POV (Not Edited)

I had a feeling that something was going to happen today. I don't know what but in the pit of my stomach I knew. I woke up and Cami and I went to breakfast at a cute café called Mojo when my phone suddenly beeped. I looked down at it to see Marcel wanted me to meet him at his place. I told Cami that I would see her later and made my way to Marcel's. When I got there I shouted his name

"Marcel!" He came around the corner smiling engulfing me in a hug. I chuckled and hugged him back.  "So what do you need help with today?" I said smiling I liked practicing my magic. Marcel was about to say something until he suddenly yanked my arm and pulled me behind him. I felt his entire body tense up. And then I heard a voice , a voice I never thought I would hear so soon.

"Marcel it would seem like you're causing problems again" The voice said. I tried to pull away from marcel but he wouldn't budge. "Ah is this your new little witch? I would love to meet her Marcel." I finally pulled away and came face to face with him.

"Eli" I said softly. Shock covered his face as he struggled to say my name.

"Eva" he gasped and appeared right in front me in a flash and slowly put his hand onto my face. Tears formed in my eyes as I launched myself into his arms  and buried my head into his chest. I looked up at him and smiled softly.

"Eva how are you here?"  he asked.

I chuckled softly "It's a bit complicated"

"Well it doesn't matter much. You're here now" He smiled . I observed his chocolate brown eyes and his hair that was short now. I reached up and touched it.

"You cut your hair" I said a bit disappointed I really liked his long hair. He chuckled and looked down at me smiling.

"My long hair did't quite suit this era" I giggled and nodded understanding. When I finally remembered what I was completely forgetting to ask. I tugged at Elijah's shirt and said the name of the person wanted to see with a passion.

"Niklaus is he.. well?" I asked looking down at my feet. Elijah lifted my chin with his fingers and nodded.

"He is.. still alive and kicking" I sighed in relief. "Well how are the others I asked excited to finally see them all again. Elijah's face darkened for a moment but it was gone as soon as it appeared.

"They are... well still alive." I looked at him confused  before I finally remembered that Marcel was still in the room. I turned to see a completely confused look on his face.

"How do you know the Mikaelsons Eva?" he asked.

"Well I did grow up with them, we were family." Marcel still looked confused.

"I don't understand" he said. Elijah soon joined the conversation.

"You don't need to understand. But now I realize that you were only using Eva cause she was innocent and naive. How dare you. " Elijah said with venom lacing his every word. He took a menacing step towards Marcel before I jumped in front if him.

"Stop! Elijah I wanted to help. Don't take it out on Marcel." He looked down at her his eyes softening at the pleading look on her face. He sighed

"Fine. But your coming with me I'm sure Niklaus will be absolutely delighted to see you." He smiles and beckons me to follow him. I start to follow when I feel a tug on my hand. I turn to see a very worried looking Marcel.

"Eva your going with him? You know there dangerous right? I looked at Marcel confused Dangerous? My family? I chuckled

"Marcel there not dangerous and they would never hurt me ill be ok." He looked like he was going to say more but looked to Elijah and decided against it.  I followed after Elijah he picked me bridal style and speeded to another place. He set me down and I swayed feeling a little dizzy. I looked up to him wide eyed.

"Is that a part of being a vampire? the speed?" He chuckled at my wide eyes and nodded. I then looked down sad. He lifted my face up a worried look on his face.

"What's wrong?" I looked to him unshed tears filling my eyes.

"You all have been living with this burden and I couldn't even be there with you." I said sadly tears slowly falling down my face. "What Esther did was so unfair" Elijah soon grabbed my face.

"Eva we have lived very long lives and what our mother did was wrong but we stayed together because the thought of you and your sacrifice kept us going we weren't going to waste what you had given up for us." I nodded tears still falling. Elijah had wiped them away and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back tightly missing him so much. He pulled away softly and looked to me

"Niklaus is inside I think its time that he saw you." I looked to him a bit hesitant and nodded. I walked slowly behind him we walked into a large space and I looked around. I saw many chairs and tables and stair cases leading to different levels and rooms. Plants covering the railings. I saw a large M on one of the walls. And suddenly I heard the voice I have craved to hear.

"Brother! your back I suppose you've met that little witch friend of Marcel's?" I shivered at the sound of his voice it was much deeper then before. I stayed behind Elijah clutching on to the back of his coat. Elijah soon began to speak

"I did meet her brother" Niklaus raised an eyebrow and focused on Elijah a bit more.

"Who is behind you?" he asked curiously. Elijah looked to him nervously

"Don't freak out ok?" He nudged me and I slowly stepped out from behind him. I heard him gasp and I looked up to see an utterly surprised face. He had grown so much more handsome his hair was shorter and slightly curled on the end. He had much more facial hair then before and his icy blue hues hadn't changed a bit. We stared at each other for what seemed like forever until he finally said something

"Eva" he walked closer and touched my cheek like he was seeing if I was real or not. I gave him a watery smile as tears slowly slid down my face. I was so happy to see him. He pulled me into a tight embrace. My heart still pounded at the contact. I hugged him back. He was shaking just a bit and I looked to see silent tears falling from his beautiful eyes. I looked over at Elijah who looked just as surprised as me. His face then softened immensely watching the scene. We pulled back from each other and it looked like he was at a loss for words.

"Nik" I said softly wiping the tears from his cheeks.

"How is this possible? How are you here Eva?" I shrugged.

"I have no clue I woke up in the bayou in muddy tattered cloths having no memory on how I got there." They both looked shocked.

"I see.." he says "Well I think we have a lot of catching up to do" he said smiling widely. I looked at both of them and nodded enthusiastically.
