Between Heaven and The Damned (Klaus Mikaelson)

Connection

I sat in Grills alone after telling Jeremy to get to school and Elena to bring him there. Knowing Jeremy full-well, he fights tooth and nail just to stay with me and make sure I don't disappear on him. After some convincing that I will never leave, I manage to make a deal of picking him up after school which he agrees to and willingly leave with Elena.

I took a sip from the hot coffee when I heard a chair beside me move and I looked over to see Stefan Salvatore.

"Stefan, shouldn't you be in school as well?" I ask taking another sip.

"Jeremy wanted me to find you and watch over you." He says and I chuckled shaking my head.

"Of course, that boy will do anything just to know I'm alive and okay." I smirked as he nodded chuckling before ordering himself a drink.

"You're wearing a scarf. I've noticed it a lot of times now. Even inside the house." Stefan pointed out and I shrug. Before I can say anything, my phone began to ring as I took it out seeing a random number which confuses me, but I answer otherwise.

"Hello?"
"Robin, this is Esther Mikaelson. Sorry if I have not called you for a couple of days, I had to ask Klaus to teach me technology and it is very hard to adapt to it." Esther tells me and I chuckled shaking my head.

"No worries, I know it could be confusing at times, but I am pretty sure you will get used to it." I told her as I glance at Stefan to see him looking straight ahead, but listening to the conversation.

"As it seems that I have to or I will humiliate myself in front of everyone for not knowing the technology. Anyways, I want to invite you to have a cup of tea with me as I am quite curious about you." She says and I hummed.

"I am actually drinking coffee right now, but I guess I can come by and take the offer."
"Brilliant! I'll see you soon?"
"Sure, see you then." I hung up and put my phone away before standing up.

"I have to go now, You can tell Elena or Jeremy that I went to the Mikaelson manor if you want, I know for sure they'll start ranting about them being dangerous. See you." I waved goodbye to Stefan as I walked away from him.

I soon arrived at the Mikaelson manor once again, I got out of my car and made my way towards the entrance. I reached to knock on the door when it opened up revealing Kol.

"Robin? What brings you here?" He questions with a lifted brow.

"I invited her in, Kol." Esther tells him as he looks before opening the door as Esther walks out to greet me.

"I am so glad you came."
"Well, I have been offered with a warm cup of tea that I cannot turn down." I joked causing for her to laugh as we both walk inside and Kol shuts the door behind us.

"Come with me please." She motions and I followed her as we entered the living room again with two cups of tea warm and waiting for us.

"Have a seat." She motions the couch as we sat down. She handed me the cup of tea and took hers taking a sip of it.

"I didn't poison it." She tells me as I still held the warm cup on my hand which made me take a sip as well before setting it down the table.

"So you called me about what?" I ask and turned my attention towards her as she sets her down as well before giving me full attention.

"I am just very curious about you, I have never heard of the Eldest Gilbert anywhere until now." She tells me as I chuckle.

"There is really nothing to learn about me for I am just a normal civilized woman." I told her as I grab the cup again.

"A woman that is a mystery to this world."
"I guess so." I smiled as she chuckles.

"I heard that you grew up in England for 15 years. Why did you leave Mystic Falls?" She asks and I sigh thinking about the past.

"I didn't really have any choice. My adopted parents made me move there despite my refusal." I told her as she listens intently with a furrow eyebrows.

"You aren't related with the Gilberts?" She asks and I shook my head.

"I was abandoned in front of their doorstep. I was the first one before Elena and Jeremy came. After 6 years of living with them, they told me that I will be moving to England without any explanation whatsoever." I muttered and she nodded her head in silence.

"How was your time in England?" She asks again and I shrug.

"Locked away in this girls only school, where they teach you with manners, discipline you if you don't do it right." I told her as I stare straight ahead.

"I write everyday to my parents asking about Jeremy and how he is, but never once did they reply to my letters. I waited months for it, but gave up when I found out they will never write back to me." I muttered to myself.

——— 3rd P.O.V

Esther looks at the young woman seeing the broken child within her eyes. The abandoned, lost girl wanting nothing more, but love from a mother and father that she never receives. Esther gulped silently as she can tell that what Robin is feeling before was what her children were feeling when they were once human. Abandoned, lost, betrayed, and broken.

Esther didn't know what had happened next, she opens her eyes to find herself hugging Robin who sobbed in her arms letting. Tears began forming within her eyes as she closed them and hugged her tighter.

"Let it all out, child. Cry your heart out as much as you can." She whispers softly and kisses her head softly as Robin cries. She wasn't aware of the eyes that was now watching both of them. Rebekah looked down to the ground before walking away as Kol followed her. Elijah wipes a tear away from his eyes as he too walked away leaving Klaus and Finn behind. Klaus heartaches as he curses her parents for abandoning her before turning around to walk away as Finn watched Klaus sensing the anger coming from him. He looks towards his mother before sighing as he walks away too.

——Robin P.O.V

I pulled away after finding some strength and let out a deep sigh.

"Sorry, I didn't know what came over." I told her softly and she places her hand on mine giving me a motherly smile.

"It is alright." She assures me and I smiled nodding my head.

"I should get going. My brother needs me to pick him up." I told her as she nodded and we both stood up.

"If you need anything, I will be here." Esther smiles as I looked at her shock before nodding my head smiling back.

"Thank you. Call me when you need anything." I told her and she nodded as I left their manor. I entered my car and waved goodbye to her which she does the same before I drove to Mystic high.
