What if Elijah Mikaelson had an unknown daughter? And what if she had been daggered for years?
See what happens when she's finally found and Elijah Mikaelson has his own chance at redemption.
Elijah's Pov This witch has us locked in the cemetery and my brother Niklaus is hell-bent on killing our sister. "I heard Celeste say something strange to me in French as she was pleading for me not to kill her tonight. Something about a child. But it wasn't Hope. She said she was in the cemetery. Maybe she was just trying to get my guard down, but I can't help but wonder.." I explained to my dear sister Rebekah as we somewhat hid from our enraged brother "Another Mikaleson miracle child? Next thing you know I'll have one" she said sarcastically
"This is no time for joking sister especially not with Niklaus out there hell-bent on your death," I said looking at Klaus you were sitting on a tombstone and observing the white oak stake in his hand. "Alright then. What if she was telling the truth brother? What if you have your miracle child trapped somewhere in this cemetery?" Rebekah asked me completely serious "Then I have one more person to protect Rebekah. And I will do so to the best of my abilities" I said to her putting my hands in my pockets and she smiled. "Good to see at least one of my brothers wants to take his responsibilities seriously. The only question is who is her mother and how do we find her?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest. She was right I had no idea who she was or how to find her. As I walked around the cemetery I thought about ways to find my child and suddenly felt an urge to check a certain tomb. It almost like it was calling me. As I approached the tomb I noticed the last name engraved on the stone and almost couldn't believe it. Rosewood. It couldn't be possible. Stella Rosewood was a witch I was once deeply in love with, but she disappeared suddenly. I assumed she was dead and moved on. How could she have been with a child? My child...It doesn't matter now. What matters is finding my child. I stared at the stone for a moment thinking the thing over before I punched it and it began breaking. As I broke it down enough for me to look inside and grab anything out I noticed a body covered in white cloth. I broke more of the stone and picked up the body pulling it out and kneeled setting it on the ground. I thought for a moment and sighed before pulled back the cloth revealing a young girl. She had grey veins all over her as if she had been daggered and as I pulled the cloth back more a found a silver steak in her chest. Her clothes didn't look too outdated. They looked like something you'd see in the late 90's early 2000's. I looked up hearing Rebekah coming towards me and she looked at my daughter. "Are you going to wake her?" She asked and I nodded before pulling the steak from her chest. We watched as the veins slowly faded and the color returned to her skin. As the veins completely disappeared I watched her fingers started to move and her eyes twitched before she quickly opened her eyes and blinked looking around.

"W-whats going on?" She mumbled her voice scratchy "What do you remember?" Rebekah asked her as I noticed she had a Mikaelson family crest on her necklace next to one I recognized to be her mother's crest. "M-my mom she..said I was in danger and she daggered me. And before I fell asleep she said she loved me and that I would be seeing my father soon" she said sadly as she recalled her memories "What's your father's name?" Rebekah asked before I could "Elijah Mikaelson. Do you know him?"She asked as her voice became more soft and clear I looked at Rebekah who looked back at me and gave me a simple nod before I looked back at her. "I'm Elijah Mikaelson," I said and her eyes widened "You're..my father?" She asked and I simply nodded. Hearing her call me that made me feel something I had never felt before, but I liked it and I already wanted to protect her at all costs. "Yes, Yes I am. And what is your name?" I asked slowly helping her stand up "Jacqueline Rose," she said saying her first and middle name "Although I prefer to be called Rose" I smiled loving both names and watched as she dusted her clothes off. "What beautiful names," I said and she smiled at me. However much to my annoyance, I heard my brother start his rambles again. "Who's that?" She asked "That would be your uncle Niklaus. He's..beside himself right now. Stay here please while your aunt Rebekah and I sort this out" I said and she nodded sitting down. "There's a barrier spell around the cemetery isn't there?" She asked picking up a candle "Yes there is," I said "I can try and take it down," she said as she lit the candle with magic "You're a witch?" Rebekah asked stepping closer "Yes. I'm half witch half-vampire" she said simply and lit a few more Rebekah and I exchanged a look before nodding and walking outside to confront our brother... Rose's Pov I can't believe I'm awake! And I'm with my dad just like mom said I would...I wonder what happened to her. And what year it is? But I can figure that out later. I sighed closing my eyes and starting the spell to take down the one keeping us in here. This is a tough spell done by an old witch. And I haven't used my magic in who knows how long...No I can do this. I took a deep breath and focused on the magic and continued the spell. After a while, I felt a liquid trickle down from my nose and I touched it looking at my hand and seeing blood. The spell was hurting me. I shook my head slightly and continued the spell as I felt another magic presence trying to remove the spell..another witch? Once I got too weak to do much more I stopped and let whoever else was working on it continue, and walked outside of the room I was in. When I walked outside into the cemetery I saw aunt Rebekah talking to a man with brown hair. He was telling her..to leave? I stepped towards them wanting to make my presence known but I felt someone grab my arm and quickly turned around seeing my dad. As I was about to ask him what was going on he picked me up and we sped away and ended up in a building that looked like an old broken down house. After an hour of waiting and getting to know my dad Aunt Rebekah showed up. "I knew you'd be here," she said to Dad "I just came to collect a few things" "You're leaving?" I asked Dad had explained a lot to me in the past hour. Including the fact my uncle Klaus was...not happy with Rebekah at the moment. Aunt Rebekah sighed looking at me sadly. "Sadly yes. Although I wish I could stay and get to know you. I have to go before my brother changes his mind and decides to end me" She explained and hugged me again before handing me a phone "My number is on speed dial. Call me for any questions you have because I'm sure Elijah isn't very good at girl talk" She joked looking at my dad who looked unamused I laughed lightly and put it in my pocket. "I'll call you soon," I said and she smiled and exchanged some words with dad before leaving. After she was gone dad lead me back to their house which was in the heart of the French quarter and showed me to what would soon be my room. "You can go out in the morning and get whatever you need to decorate however you like," He told he as I ran my fingers over the backs of the books on the bookshelf. One that caught my eye was a grimoire. "That was my mother's. It holds all her spells" he said as he watched me pull it out and observe it..well until he gently took it from me "Maybe you should get used to your powers again before looking at those" "My magic is fine" I argued "I smelled your blood in the cemetery, Jacqueline. I know the spell was hard for you. You haven't used your powers in years and you need to relearn everything you knew" He said putting the book back in its spot. I sighed knowing he was right and nodded putting my hands in my pockets. "Okay," I said simple and he frowned making me look at him "I'm doing this for your safety Jacqueline. I just found you and I can't lose you because of a rogue spell. So no spellbook" He told me softly yet sternly I nodded and hugged him. I'm so happy that he opened up to me so fast. Based on things I heard before I was daggered he's very reserved and only cares for his family. "Now you can either explore the compound or you can rest," he told me "I'll explore," I said simply and he nodded kissing my forehead "I have some business to attend to I'll be back soon," he said and I frowned not wanting him to go since I just got him in my life "It'll only be a few hours I'll come back. You have my word" He said reassuring me I smiled and hugged him before letting him go. After he left I explored the entire compound ending my exploration in a room with a lot of paints and canvas's in it. As I lightly ran my fingers over the paintbrushes I heard someone behind me. "Didn't your mother ever teach you not to touch things that aren't your love?" The voice of my uncle Niklaus said making me turn around "Oh I'm sorry I was just admiring everything," I said nervously making him Smirk and speed up to me "It's fine the only question is who are you.." he started before he pushed me against the wall choking me "And what are you doing in my house?" He said in a deathly low tone
