Who: Klaus and Hope
Where: the kitchen
When: morning, 4th of July
What: Klaus gets to meet his grown daughter
Status: Closed/Complete
Warnings: None although it's Klaus so who knows what might come up

Klaus had barely gotten to his room when he had gotten the message from Hope. He could not believe that his daughter was here and she was an adult.

He knew that he should not be around her, but if they were in some chambre de chasse, it couldn't hurt. Or maybe it did, but Klaus was never good at self-denial and now that he knew that his daughter was here, he wasn't going to stay away. Apparently he couldn't leave anyway.

It didn't take long to find the kitchen. The hotel's layout was predictably boring. He stepped into the kitchen and took a good look at her. "You're so grown up." And yet, he would have known her anywhere. Her heartbeat was stuck in his head. "You're beautiful." He stepped closer and hugged her tight. "It's good to see you."

When Hope had seen her father post on the network, she hadn't known what to think. She was glad to see him - of course she was. She'd never gotten over the loss of her parents, or the fact that it was, without a doubt, her fault. Her dad would never have died if not for her. Nor would her mother. They'd both given their lives to protect her. It was brave and noble on their part, of course, but it had left Hope very much alone and saddled with a life most clearly defined by its losses.

She was the sad little orphan girl at the Salvatore School. She was the one who had her aunts visit on parents' day. She was the one who had learned never to trust in others because it just made it all that much harder when you lost them. She'd taken a chance and let herself fall in love with Landon, thinking that it was an epic love story and that they were meant to be, but...well...she should have been smarter. She should have gone with the part of her heart that had warned her from the start.

Her father was there quickly, as she knew he would be. For a moment she couldn't speak, and just stood there, frozen. Thankfully he crossed the distance and hugged her, giving her a moment to break out of it and hug him back.

"Dad," she whispered. "It really is you."

"It's really me," he said, hearing the words that were almost too low for human ears, but Klaus had stopped being human over a thousand years ago. He pulled slightly back. "Let me take a good look at you. I still can't believe that I get to see you. I guess this hotel is good for something, right?"

Klaus figured that in his life, he'd gone through all sorts of experiences. He and his brothers had been prisoners, staked, hidden away, but they always came back. The hotel was just another bump on the road.

"How long have you been here? How's school? Did you finish school? Are you as powerful as your aunt Freya? Any other powers I should know about?" They were never sure with her, considering how special she was. "How's Hayley? And Bekah? Elijah? Tell me everything."

How could she answer that? She knew she'd have to tell him all the bad news eventually, but she didn't want to. Not yet Not right now.

"I've been here a little over a month. I've been worse places, but I've been trying to figure out a way to get back home. No luck, though. School is...great." Only a tiny lie. School was home for her, honestly. Lizzie and Josie, while she knew they resented her and the time Alaric spent looking out for her, were like siblings. It was a place she could be herself, where she could be the freakish tribrid that she was. But that didn't mean it was easy there. There had been so many monster attacks in the last few years, so many people lost...

"I'm not done yet. Just a little bit to go, though." The death of her parents had delayed her schooling a little, as had being forgotten by everyone when she'd jumped into Malivore. And with all the monster attacks..."And yeah, I am. Just as powerful, if not more." And would probably grow stronger the older she got. "Werewolf and witch for right now. My vampire side is still...dormant."

She'd have to die in order to activate that, and it wasn't something she wanted just yet. Even if she might have to do it in order to defeat Malivore for good in the end.

Klaus listened and nodded. "It sounds like you're doing great at school. Good or I'm sure ALaric would hear from a lot of people." The Mikaelson might torture each other, but they loved each other and always banded together against the rest of the world. Even Rebekah, since Marcel was family.

"Good, that's good. Not that I don't want you to be a vampire, but- We'll, it's never fun to die." Klaus was glad that his little girl could return to life, though. He loved being a vampire and loved watching the world evolve. "Besides, it's best not to change while being a teenager. It's annoying when no one takes you seriously because you look like a kid and you are the oldest person in the room." He had seen it happen in the past. "Children vampires are the worst."

He leaned against the counter. "All right, this hotel. How do we feed? I'm going to need human blood and I don't know if that just happens to arrive with the clothes I found in my room."

"It's a special school. For supernaturals. You gave them a lot of money to keep them in business because you knew I was safe here."

Without Klaus and the Mikaelson money, the school would never have lasted as long as it had. And Hope honestly didn't know what she'd do if she didn't have the school.

"There are werewolves, vampires, witches...I'm the only tribrid, but there are lots of other things too. Things we didn't know existed."

Because they'd been stuck in the Malivore pit and forgotten except in legend and myth. She would explain all of that to him later.

Hope was glad that he changed the topic away from what was going on in her life to the present. She didn't want to tell him that he was dead. She knew she'd have to eventually, but not now.

"The Hotel usually takes care of our needs. They probably have bloodbags in the fridge already." She knew he didn't like those, but it would keep him alive. "I doubt anyone would mind if people volunteered, though."

"That's good. We tried to do what we could to keep you safe." Staying away from his siblings was the hardest thing he'd ever had to do. Even after a millennium and plenty of arguments, they were the most important thing in his life after Hope.

"I didn't think there were many like you," he said with an amused smile. "Not that I'm surprised considering your parents."

He didn't like this. "As long as it's human blood, bags will do. Volunteers are appreciated. How many people are here?" He needed information to decide what his next steps would be. "And people are stuck here? How many other vampires or werewolves? Witches? Any other threat I should know about?"

"Yeah, we can't leave. I used every spell I knew when I got here, for weeks, and nothing worked. Nothing even started to work. It was like...I don't know. It was like this place was stronger than anything I've ever seen."

She thought for a moment.

"I don't know how many people are here. Maybe fifty? I haven't gone out and socialized much." Why should she? All it ever did was get her hurt. Every time she'd tried to open herself up and be close to people, it all went to hell. "There are lots of werewolves. Lots of different types of werewolves. Some of them don't even change all the way. They turn into like...wolfmen. It's weird. Vampires...I don't know of any. Maybe? Not everyone is really open about what they are."

"If we had Freya-" She was brilliant with magic. "Not that I don't trust you, but a millennium of experience..." He trailed off, because there was no reason to say more. Hope would become even better than they were, but she was still so young.

"You should. Always get to know the people around you. You never know when you'll need allies and you won't know where the threats will come from if you don't meet people." The words made him smile. He never had the opportunity to teach her anything, but now, in this magical place, he would get the chance. "I'll teach you everything you need to know for however long we are here."

The idea of other types of werewolves was strange, but then magic worked in mysterious ways. "Well, let's see if we have blood." He pushed himself off the counter and went to the fridge and then grinned. "Fresh blood for one. I guess the hotel does provide."

Hope had learned a lot from Freya. She'd been one of the only relatives she'd had growing up and they'd spent a lot of breaks and vacations together - the ones that Hope had actually gone home for. She wasn't offended by her father having more faith in Freya's abilities. She was a lot older, and he hadn't seen yet what Hope could do.

"I do," she said softly. "I watch and listen but I try not to get too close to people. It's dangerous." And they ended up breaking your heart in the end, even if you really really loved them and trusted them.

She smiled at the idea of being taught by her father. She'd never had a chance for that, and it was something she'd get to have here, at least until the hotel yanked one of them away again.

She watched him get the blood out of the fridge, not at all surprised they had it. "It takes care of our needs, for the most part. It's not so bad, as long as you don't mind the things it puts us through."

"Good," he said, smiling at her, pleased with her resourcefulness. "And it might be, but life is really boring if you never get close to people. I understand that it's dangerous and the need to protect yourself, but what's the point of living forever if you never get close to anyone?" Klaus was terrified of losing the people he loved, and yet he had. Every single one to keep Hope alive. But, he didn't regret any of it.

Klaus found a wine glass and poured the blood in the glass. He used the microwave to take the coolness out of it, but was careful not to make it too hot and spoil it. "Because we're civilized," he said, before taking a sip. He was careful at first, but this rated as very good human blood and he took a bigger sip this time.

"So what has the hotel done? And what happens when people get home? Have they missed a lot of time? Does anyone know?" Maybe not because they wouldn't have any connection with the people who had left. This was going to prove hard to solve.

"Well, right before you got here it took our clothes away. Honestly, we were naked for like three days. And before that, right after I got here, it took half of us to this tropical beach resort, which was okay, I guess. I don't trust it, so I found it hard to enjoy. No matter how nice it is, it's still a cage, and I don't like being kidnapped."

She crossed her arms over her chest, clearly annoyed at what she'd been through since she'd been here. She was glad, though, that she seemed to have avoided the topics of what happened to her father, her mother, and Elijah, and that she didn't have to talk about Landon.

"I don't know about the rest. I've heard some people say that they've been here before, but I haven't asked them much about it."

He smiled, amused, at her summation of the situation. "I've been in cages. They usually involve chains, darkness, very little food and some torture. Marcel kept me like that for five years. A resort and some nudity- It could be worse. We just need time and a month is nothing." Klaus didn't have much patience unless it came to plans. All too often their plans had lasted months and years. "We have time."

That was interesting. "I guess we'll need to find more information, talk to the people who might have gone back and returned, see what we can learn. After that, we decide what to do, but in the meantime, we can eat, drink and enjoy life, because in the end, that's the important thing." He smiled at her. "And we can take advantage of the fact that we can be together. We can't do that back at home."

Hope knew what it was like to be in a cage, too, although hers was different. She had been trapped in the darkness of Malivore until she'd been spit out, poison to the creature. And then when she'd gone back, nobody remembered her. It was as if she'd been erased from reality and nobody remembered she existed, not even her boyfriend.

"I'd like that, dad, I'd like that a lot."

They had even less chance to do that than he knew. He didn't know that he was dead back home, dead before her fifteenth birthday.

He went to her and put an arm around her shoulder. "Good, then it's settled. We use our time here to plan and to get to know each other. I never got that chance and now-" He kissed her temple.

"So now that we've gotten this out of the way, will you tell me what you're trying to hide from me?" he asked. "I might not know you as well as I'd like, but you're being very careful with what you say. What happened? Some boyfriend that I didn't like? I bet Freya was taking your side on principle. She is the romantic one of the family."

Hope flushed. She should have known that her father could read her better than that. Well, if she had to tell him one thing, telling him about Landon was better than telling him that he and Hayley had both died. So she'd take it that direction.

"There...was a boy, yes. I liked him a lot. Loved him even. But...well...things didn't work out. He's...we...we're too different, and he broke up with me."

Too different? That was an understatement. She was a tribrid and he was the son of Malivore. And the only thing that could destroy Malivore was a tribrid. Therefore, her blood, her very self, was poison to Landon. He'd dissolved into goo after they'd had sex for the first time, and she should have known then that it would never work. But she'd hoped...she'd thought if they'd just loved each other enough they could get through it...but she'd been stupid and naive.

Klaus sighed. "I don't plan to dismiss it, but when your life can potentially go on forever, you will find a lot of boys- or girls and you will lose them because of age, illness, stakes, or just life, and it will hurt each time, but you know something? Life wouldn't have meaning if you didn't have those relationships. Doesn't mean you have to like it. The urge to slaughter an entire village has been strong on occasion and we can't seem to be able to do that here, but eventually it will pass and you will find someone else, and eventually you'll go through the break-up again."

He wished that the logical explanation would make things better, but he knew from experience that knowing and feeling rarely went hand-to-hand. "So what else is happening? How's your mother? Has she found love?" Hayley was much more of a romantic than he was and she needed someone not as crazy as a Mikaelson.

Hope didn't know if she believed that or not. Yes, she knew she was young and she knew that a lot of girls had dozens of relatiosnships before they found the right one. But Hope had never done that. The first time she'd ever had a little crush, it ended up getting her mother killed. It made you think about these things a lot more seriously.

And, well, she'd really thought Landon was the one. She thought she was being given a second...or a third...or a fourth chance at happiness, and it seemed like they had been meant for each other.

Apparently not.

Her mind was torn from that when he mentioned her mother. Her face fell and she looked down, fidgeting a bit.

"Mom...she died."

Boys and relationships were easily forgotten, just like Klaus was sure she'd forget given time. "Hayley died? But how? She's one of the strongest people I know, a hybrid. She's practically indestructible."

He didn't like this at all. He couldn't imagine that he'd let it happen either. Or Freya. "Hope, what happened? What happened to me and the rest of the family? We wouldn't have left her without help if she needed it." None of this was making any sense. Hayley might not be an Original, but she wasn't your average vampire either.

He put the glass down and went to her. He hugged her again. "Whatever happened, the important thing is that you survived." The idea that it might have been natural didn't even occur to Klaus. Their kind always died a violent death.

And a violent death it had been. Hope had no doubt hers would be too, whenever it came for her. Of course, the first death she had would simply turn her into a vampire, but the second would be permanent.

"It was my fault," she whispered. "I was stupid. I trusted a boy I shouldn't have. I thought he liked me..."

And maybe he had, by the end, but it had started out with him simply using her.

"You...weren't there. You couldn't be that close to me, because of the Hollow. And Elijah...he had his memory erased. He didn't remember who mom even was."

Was that true? She wanted to believe it was, so she'd stick to her story.

All right, so boys were suddenly important again and he wanted to kill that little worm himself, but he couldn't from here. "Tell me I found and killed him." That would have made things a little better. "I'm sure I found a way to get to him without getting close to you." At least he hoped so.

"Your uncle would have come if he remembered, but what about your aunts." He had a nagging feeling that there was a lot more to the story. "We can wait to talk about this if you want. We seem to be stuck here anyway. We have time." He pulled back, but held her shoulders. "We can take this slowly. There's more than a decade that I've missed and I want to know everything, but it doesn't have to be today."

"He's still alive," she said with a sigh. She wasn't entirely angry that Roman was still alive but she definitely didn't have feelings anymore, and she felt stupid for letting herself get in trouble like that. It had been really stupid. But she'd been so young...

"I'd like that," she nodded. "There's a lot I have to tell you but a lot of it isn't good and...well...it kind of sucks, you know?"

It so much more than sucked, but what could she do?

He looked at her strangely. The boy was still alive. That didn't sound like Klaus, unless- Yeah that would kind of suck as his daughter had said. "Okay, let's wait for all of that."

In the meantime he'd look into a way to stay at this hotel until he got answers. "Let's go explore."

Hope was perfectly glad to leave the horrible stuff until later. She was glad that her father was here and didn't want to leave the evening depressed.

"I'm glad to show you where everything is."

Except the sex room. She'd skip that. There were certain things she and her father absolutely did not need to know about each other.
