The New Mikaelsons

20. Hope

Ok so this chapter was really hard to write bc I wanted to do the events justice!
I really hope I did well!

Nikol's POV
After very rushed and panicked explanation, Stefan and I are in our way back to Mystic Falls. Auntie Bexs and Grandpa are following behind us and depending on how this goes my other aunts and cousins may be coming earlier as well.

We left in the middle of the night. I have no idea what time we left, but by the looks of things we should be able to make it into town my night fall. Hopefully just in time.

Stefan and I eventually switched seats so he could drive and I could sleep. But, every time I closed my eyes I kept seeing flashes of Hope doing that spell. But, what spell? What was so important that she had to risk so much to cast it? Needless to say I didn't get much sleep.

The sun was setting and the sky started to turn black as we pulled into the school parking lot. The four of us got out of the car and started running though the woods.

I ran aimlessly for what felt like hours, was most probably seconds. But a lot can happen in a second. Someone is born, someone can die, and someone can be conceived. All in one second, or all in the same second. Like Einstein said, time is relative.

I started to feel a pounding in my head. I came due to a heavy use of magic in the area. I kept running, then things started to look familiar. I had just then ran into the clearing, Hope was chanting. I yelled out for her to stop, but I was too late. Blood poured from he nose, she stopped chanting and turned to me and smiled a tear feel from her eye and her body went limp.

I vamp sped over and shook her shoulders. I couldn't wake her, no matte r how hard I tried. I listened closely and could still hear her heartbeat, it was faint but still there. I sighed in relief as auntie Bexs, Grandpa and Stefan ran into the clearing.

My mouth opened to say something, but I heard three gasps erupt from behind me. Seeing the shocked looks on the faces of the people in front of me, I slowly turned around and saw that the three empty tubs, now each had a person coming out of it. But not just any people, it was, Uncle Nik, Uncle Elijah, and Hayley.

The four of us to shocked to move just looked at the three of them.

I cleared my throat and hastily spoke, "I'm going to bring Hope inside."

Without further word Stefan and I vamp sped into the School. I laid Hope down on the couch in one of the recreational rooms. Bed checks most likely had been done and anyone who is still at the school is asleep.

I listened for Hope's heartbeat, it was faint but was there. I breathed out a sigh of relief and collapsed on the floor in front of the couch, trying to catch the breath I hadn't known I lost.

Stefan sat next to me, "You, ok?"

I sighed, "honestly, I have no idea. Three of my dead family members just came back to life and my cousin, though alive, just used so much magic that she may remain in a coma for, who knows how long." I ran a hand through my hair, "but the important thing is that she should be ok."

Stefan took my hand and I rested my head on his shoulder. I pulled out my phone and called Henrik.

"Get to the school, now!" I hissed.

"Your back already?" He asked, confusion lacing her words.

"It's a long story, I'll explain when you get here."

"Nikol, I'm already here."

"What? Why?"

"I stayed over with Shelby. Where are you I'll meet you there."
