Hayley What the hell is going on? Emma's not here, Kol and Davina are crying, and Kol just threw a stack of letters on the table for us. I make my way over to the pile and grab the one with my name on it. Hayley, I asked Bear to give you this letter because I ran away. I couldn't handle being in the same house as you or anyone else in the family for that matter. Ever since you woke up the rest of the family, I've been left out of everything. Its been all about Hope. What happened to us? It used to be the three of us. I used to be loved. I'm not trying to sound selfish because my sister deserves the world, and at least she has a family to love her, but why can't I be a part of that? I'm a Mikaelson too. If you had loved me and paid attention to me, then you would know that I triggered my werewolf curse, and activated my vampire side. I was killed. Nobody paid attention to me or was there for me through all of it besides Kol. You know who helped me get ready for bed? Davina. You know who helped me brush my hair and read me bedtime stories, and took care of me? Davina. Davina has been a better mom to me than you have. She actually cares for me. I do appreciate you for everything you have done for me and my sister up until everyone woke up. So thank you for that, but don't come looking for me. Ever. Sincerely, Emma What have I done? I brought a hand up to my mouth and started crying.
Rebekah I opened my letter, already feeling bad. Rebekah, You seem like you would be a cool aunt. But I wouldn't know. First, I'm going to thank you for keeping me and Hope safe, when we were babies. Now, I'm going to tell you that you are a terrible aunt. I always wanted an aunt that I can bond with, and go shopping with. I love shopping. I wanted to go shopping with you, or have a spa day, or something. Anything, just to hang out with you and be your niece, but clearly, you didn't want that. So I'm telling you goodbye because I've ran away. I don't plan on coming back unless I'm coming for Bear and Davina. Don't try to look for me because you won't find me. Sincerely, Emma Oh my God. How could I have done that. I completely ignored my niece, and for what? I'm such a terrible aunt.
Freya I pick up my letter and open it. Freya, Thanks for nothing. You are officially the worst aunt on the planet. I would have given that title to Rebekah, but you're worse. Hope isn't the only one with magic, you know. You said you would teach us both, and yet you never even looked at me. Even when I asked you if you could make me something to help control my powers, you sent me off but tended to Hope's every need. I had to teach myself magic. I had to learn from myself and from Davina because you neglected me. Don't bother looking for me. I don't want to be found. Emma Wow. Okay, ouch. Have to admit, I do deserve that one. But I can do a locator spell to find her. She's 8, she's not strong enough to do a cloaking spell strong enough to block me.
Elijah Why would Emma run away? What did we even do to her? I take a seat on the couch next to Niklaus and open my letter. Elijah, All I ever wanted was to make you proud. I looked up to you, even when you ignored me. I always wanted to be able to sit and read a book with you. I wanted you to be the one to teach me how to read, and how to understand really big words. But I never had that with you. I bet Hope will. I've already read all of Shakespeare's books and Josh got me War and Peace for my birthday. I finished that too. It was really good. I didn't understand some of it though. I had to ask Bear what some of the big words meant, but I really really liked it. I strongly dislike you, Elijah, but I decided to leave you my War and Peace book. Even though you have most likely read it already, I wanted you to have it. It's filled with sticky notes of all the questions that I had while reading it. I hoped that one day I would have been able to ask you about it. I was hoping I'd be able to learn from you. Please take care of it. That book is important to me because Josh knew how much I love to read and how badly I wanted that book. Sincerely, Emma I... wow. I can't believe I did that to her. She's family and I treated her like an outsider. I vamp to my room and see the leatherbound book sitting on my desk. I pick it up and vamp back downstairs with the book in my hand. As everyone else is reading their letters, I am skimming through the book, looking at all of my niece's notes.. “ Beautiful! Absolutely Beautiful! We are all so deranged that we drove an eight year old child away.” I shake my head, grab the book, and leave to my room.
Hope My sister left. All because she felt lonely? She's so selfish. What about me? I opened the letter that she wrote me and read it. Hope, I hope you are happy and your family treats you right. You were always the golden child. I don't know what I did to make you hate me and treat me the way you did, but whatever it is, I'm sorry. And I'm sure you don't care but I forgive you for killing me. It wasn't really your fault. It was the Hollow. That's probably why you didn't trigger your curse. Slight loophole being that you were literally possessed. Bye Hope, enjoy your princess life. Emma After reading her letter, I started crying. I killed my sister. I dropped the paper. "I killed her" I say quietly before running upstairs to my room.
Klaus My daughter ran away from me. What the bloody hell. Reluctantly, I open the letter and read it. Klaus, I hate you. I absolutely hate you. But at the same time, I can't help but love you. How could you treat one daughter better than the other one. All you had to do was love me. For some reason, history tends to repeat itself in this family. One child seeking the love and approval of their father. I did my best to make you proud, and get you to love me. But instead, you ignored me. Why couldn't you just love me? Why was I never enough? Do you even know anything about me? Did you know that I love art? I used to put a cloaking spell on myself and sneak into your art room just to watch you paint. I used to talk to you and tell you about everything, even though i made it so you couldn't hear me. It hurt that you forgot my birthday. It's the same day as Hope's. But she's obviously more important. Although you forgot my birthday, I never forgot yours. When you finish reading this, go look in your art room. And please don't be mad at Bear for helping me. He was there for me when you weren't. You were supposed to be the one to help me when I triggered my curse. You were supposed to be the one to help me through my first transformation. You were the one that was supposed to teach me how to control my vampire side. I was killed by my own sister, and you weren't even there. Kol was. Bear was there for me through everything. And don't get mad at Hope for killing me, she was possessed by the Hollow. It's not her fault. And although I already told her, make sure she knows it's not her fault and that I forgive her. Bye Klaus. Sincerely, Emma Kol was right. I am worse than my father. I quickly make my way to my art room and walk in. I see a box, with a card on top of it. Happy Birthday! I painted this for you two days ago. Its us. Ive seen you in your wolf form and I look just like you, only smaller! I really hope you like it. Emma. I unwrap the present to see a wonderful painting of two black wolves howling at the moon. In the bottom corner, it says Niklaus and Emma.

It's absolutely beautiful. It's even better than Hope's paintings and mine for that matter. I can't stop the tears from rolling down my face as I think about how horribly I've treated my child.
