Redeem [K.M]

21

I walked along the beach with my shoes in my hand. The sand burned my feet slightly, but sometimes the burn was a good feeling.

I looked up towards the rocks on the beach,"I knew you'd be out here." I smiled her as I walked closer to the rocks.

"And I knew you'd find me." Eve smiled as she fixed her dress,"Like always."

I climbed up on the rock and pecked her lips,"Come on, we are going to a family dinner." I stayed standing as I offered her my hand. Her engagement ring was shining in the sun, it made me happy,"We have to announce our big surprise." Eve took my hand before standing. She looked at the sea before looking at me with a huge smile.

She didn't have her shoes with her, so we interlinked our fingers and began walking to our beach home that Kol had helped renovate and get for me.

We got a home in a secluded part of Florida.

Due to my magic, and word getting out, I practically became famous within the supernatural world. Everyone either wanted to kill me for my power or to require my assistance for something. So Kol and Devina helped find me a home in a secluded place and helped me get set up. I had casted a cloaking spell on myself and now Eve after the first 3 years that it was happening.

Now I had called for a family gathering at our home since it would draw so much attention that the Mikealsons and the new hallow is all together.

The table was set, there was a seat for Klaus, Hope, Freya, Keelin, and their son, Kol, Devina, Rebekah, and Marcel. Including myself and Eve.

The roast was cooking with a varity of human foods along with blood bags in the cooler for the vampires.

Rebekah has turned human, which I probably could have done for her if I had known she also married Marcel who was also one of the most powerful people ranking #2 in my books.

Freya and Keelin had used Vincent to have a child. She ended up having a baby boy named Finn after her older brother who had passed. Her son is now 4 years old.

Hope graduated high school, 2 years ago and returned to live with Klaus. After my mother passed, he was never able to forgive himself for what he did with Caroline while Ella was dying. He refused to move on while Elijah had came to peace with death to be with Hayley. They had burried him next to Hayleys grave.

As for me, I met up with Eve after she heard the noise of the new hallow and had to come see herself. After that, we just stayed together like some sort of instant connection. I proposed to her a week ago after 4 years of being together.

I never saw myself getting married 5 years from my mothers death. Yet here I am, fully confident and happy for once.

Eve let me do the cooking as she sat on the front porch on the swing. Her ring was sat on the kitchen counter. I stuck it in my pocket and finished up the smaller foods as the roast needed a hour or two before it was complete.

Thats when I heard Eve talking,"Hey, go right on in." I turned around and saw Kol and Devina walk in hand in hand.

Devina walked over and hugged me as a I hugged her back softly before dusting my hands on my pants,"Hi." I mumbled smiling at my parental figures. Kol smiled widely as he walked forward, arms open. I was engulfed in his arms.

"Hello my little witch." He ruffled my hair as he let me go.

I sighed before fixing it,"I'm Twenty one." I rolled my eyes slightly before I elbowed him. I realized that Devina and Kol were married and I looked down at my hand. I had taken my ring off to save for the dinner so it wasn't given away. I wanted to show him the ring and tell him. I knew if I told him everyone would be mad that I didn't tell each other first. Thats why I'm waiting for the dinner.

I gestured to the huge living room,"Make yourselves at home. Take a walk on the beach, we got time." I smiled as Devina walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Kol gave me one last look as of he knew something wad up before he sat beside Devina and she cuddled into him. I flicked the TV on with my magic and it was on some sitcom.

"Hey Hope!" Eve yelled out and I smiled knowing that Klaus and Hope were here now. Freya, Keelin, and Finn must be right behind them since they are all coming from the same place.

"Eve how are things?" I heard Hope's voice. I couldn't contain myself and walked to the front door.

"Things are great." Eve smiled brightly before Hope turned her head and screamed.

She squeaked more than screamed,"Mia!" With that she threw herself at the screen door and into my arms. I laughed slightly at my childhood friend.

"Hey Hope." I hugged her back and glanced at Eve who held a smile. Klaus was at the car still digging through the trunk.

He looked up annoyed,"Do you need all of this?" Hope let go of me witha huff and walked down to her dad.

"Yes, its the beach!" She had her hands on her hips.

I smiled slightly remembering when Kol helped me move in here,"Okay come in whenever you want. Dinner isn't ready yet, feel free to explore." I called out before walking back into the house. Eve followed before heading out of the back door to the beach rocks,"I'll be back." She pecked my lips and shut the screen door to the back.

Eve doesn't really like social gathering, she grew up with two psychopaths and that was really it besides a few people along the way. Sje felt the safest at the sea shore since that is a place she can escape to. When its just me and her, theres no issue but when the family is around, we all respect that she is uncomfortable.

That was when Freya walked in with Finn who was already on the hunt for anything to grab,"You're getting so big." I smiled at Finn and he smilef back,"I'm this old." He held up five fingers.

Freya laughed,"Not yet honey. You're 4." She kissed his head before looking at me,"Keelin is bringing in some toys. Is there a place-"

"In the living room. I already barred the fire place, he can watch cartoons if he wants." She nodded gratefully before rushing to the living room and sitging next to Kol and Devina. They lit up when they saw Finn.

I assumed Hope went to the beach since Klaus was just walking into the house and sat down on the arm chair with a huff. Keelin followed him in and set some snacks and toys down on the table.

I stood behind Kol who sat on the couch as I watched Finn snuggle his way up onto Freyas lap despite his toys. I flicked the channel to cartoons and he looked happy,"It's been a long drive." She mumbled as he looked tried. It made my heart swell to see Freya so happy.

"Tell me you didn't forget the drinks." Someone called from the front door. I jumped up and opened it, both Rebekah and Marcel entered. Marcel went to the living room as Rebekah held up a bag. I took the bag from her and saw multiple bottles of wine,"Thanks." She leaned forward and kissed my cheek, before walking into the living room where her family sat. I went into the kitchen and set the bottles of wine on the dinner table.

I walked back into thr living room seeing Rebekah sitting on Marcels lap on the other arm chair, and Keelin sitting on the arm of the chair next to Freya. I walked over to my bean bag and sat down with a sigh.

I noticed everyone glancing at the mantle below the TV, which held my mothers urn,"C'mon guys, we shouldn't dwell on the past. She wouldn't want us to." Kol cut in and slowly everyone began making conversation. I felt like now was the time to tell them.

While no one was eating or able to choke on their food. I cleared my throat and everyone stopped and looked at me with smiles due to their previous conversation,"The reason I called you all here today was-", I took a deep breath and looked at each of my family memebers. Eve is going to be so mad that I said it without her. I pulled the two rings out of my pockets,"Eve and I are engaged."
