Almost is Never Enough

Running Away

Omniscient
It has been eight months since the twins’ birthday. Emma's treatment from her family had gotten worse. Her sister absolutely hates her and her family treated her terribly. The hollow ended up possessing Hope, and Emma triggered her werewolf curse. Emma is learning magic from Davina because Freya refuses to teach her. Kol was there to help her with her first transformation because nobody else noticed, even though he got bit. Then, she was killed by Hollow Hope, and activated her vampire side. Kol and Marcel have taught her how to control that too. Emma is already so much stronger than Hope and smarter. Now, at almost nine years old, Emma is ready to leave her family behind and find happiness. So she goes to the only people that actually care about her for help, Davina and Kol.

Emma
I can’t be here anymore. Nobody in this family loves me. I'm leaving, and nobody can change my mind about it. I go to my desk and write letters for everyone. I pack all of my stuff in my room, put on my bracelet, necklace, and ring  that Kol got me for my birthday, and mutter a spell on my backpack so that I can fit everything from my room in it. I make my bed, pick up the letters, and put on my backpack. I then close the door and make my way to Kol and Davina's room. I walk in and they're both laying on the bed watching a movie. I close the door behind me and mutter a quick silencing spell so that nobody can listen in on us. I make my way over to the bed and jump on uncle Kol’s stomach. 
“ I’m running away!” I say to him. He raises an eyebrow at me and they both sit up.
“Really now? And where will you go darling?” he says to me.
“ I don't know yet, but somewhere far from here. I already packed everything, and wrote letters to everyone. I wanna go say bye to Marcel and the vampires first, and then I want to leave. And you guys can help me or come with me. Davina, you can put a cloaking spell on me so they can’t find me and Uncle Kol, you can compel someone to drive me away. And you can pick wherever I go. It has to be states away though. Then I can put a spell on you so that you forget where you sent me so that nobody can force it out of you. I'll still keep in contact with you guys of course! But I just want to be happy! I can’t do that here.” I explain with a sigh. 
Uncle Kol and Aunt Davina looked at each other before turning to me. 
“Okay” they say at the same time. I get off of Kol and run towards the door, telling them that I'd be downstairs waiting for them. I run downstairs and jump on the couch happily, not noticing that instead of landing on the couch, I land on my father. The second, his arms wrap around me and asks me what I'm happy about, I realize what I did. My eyes go wide and I hurry off of him, apologizing over and over again. I don't make eye contact with anyone as I make my way into the kitchen. I stand by the counter nervously waiting for my uncle and aunt to come downstairs. I heard someone come into the kitchen and I thought it was them. I look up excitedly only to have that excitement turn into fear. It was just my father and my uncle Elijah. 
The second they walk closer to me, I take a step back, and start apologizing to my father for jumping on him while looking down at the floor. 

“ Dad, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to jump on you! I was just really excited and I didn't see you when I jumped for the couch. It was an accident and it won't happen again, I promise.” I rambled. I was scared and my heart was beating really fast. 

“Love, it's alright.” he says, taking a step towards me. I take a step back.

“Emma, are you- are you scared of us?” Uncle Elijah asks. I slowly nod my head, not wanting to look up. 

They crouch down in front of me and dad reaches out to touch my arm and I flinch.

“Emma, look at me.” he says. I don't. “Emma.” he says sternly. I got even more scared and my tribrid face showed. I slowly looked up and both my father and uncle looked taken aback. 
“When did you-” Elijah started, but was cut off by Kol walking in the kitchen. As soon as I see him, I break away from my father and Elijah, and run to him. I hug his leg and he picks me up and soothingly rubs my back. I bury my head into his neck and I feel him walk out of the kitchen. He doesn't put me down until we are by the front door where Vina stands with two black mini duffle bags. I hold Uncle Kols hand and look back at everyone in the room before pulling him outside. We then make our way to Marcel's house and I start to get sad.
