The Vampire Diaries

"If I'm daggered I'm sure you'll find me."

"But you destroyed all the daggers, right? So I don't have to worry about that…"

"Destroyed all the ones I could find." Kol shrugged, before heading out towards his brothers.

"Be careful, pretty boy, text me when you're home okay?" She called after him before heading into the livingroom and looking to her father.

"Nik!" Kol called as he entered the house.

---

Adam was waiting patiently for her, smilin when she came down.

"Ready to go buy you a mobile and anything else I can remember?" Astrid asked after hugging him tightly, whispering quietly, "You better live until your like a hundred or something,"

----
"Quiet Kol, Hope's asleep." Klaus replied, asking, "What do you want?"

"Ill do my best love," Adam nodded.
--

"Adams back for the next fifty years or so, brought him back for Astrid."

"Are you stupid?" Klaus hissed quietly, the only reason he hadnt laged out physically was because Hope was still in his arms. "He'll be nothing but trouble, Kol,"

----
Astrid just nodded, pulling back from the hug before grabbing her purse and heading out of the house.

Adam followed quietly behind her.

---

"Astrid wanted her dad back!"

"And her father wouldn't hesitate to hurt us if he had the chance, it was a stupid move and you should of discussed it with everyone first. Anything that happens because of him now is your fault," Klaus hissed, placing Hope down gently on the sofa. 

----
Astrid walked quietly.

"The only thing you have to worry about is competition! He wants Tatia back, wants them and Astrid to be a proper family." Kol signed. "He still has a human life span, unless you fancy turnin him into a Hybrid and using the sirebond against him."


---

Adam wrapped an arm around her and kissed the top of her head. "I'm so lucky to have such a caring daughter."

"You embarrass me and I'll act like a bratty one instead," Astrid warned with a quiet laugh, leaning into him for a moment before shrugging his arm away from her, heading into one of the phone shops and telling him, "Choose whatever one you want,"

----
"There is no competition to worry about, Tatia hates the man, she's terrified of him." Klaus shook his head, "He's not going to be around for long, because I'm going to kill him as soon as I see him,"

"Are you sure of that? She married him once, maybe she'll want to do it again." Kol deadpanned, before adding. "Don't kill him, it'll upset Astrid, who'll hate you and then it'll cause problems for you and Tatia. He only has a human life span, let him live it out, then he's gone for good, the witches can't bring back people who've died naturally from old age. Fifty years, max, I give it. Just let her have a life with her dad in it."

--

"You're the technology expert." he reminded her with a laugh.

Astrid shook her head, "I'm not, just choose one, would you? Don't make a big fuss out of it."

----
"The witches wouldn't dare bring him back again, they'd have no reason to unless you make them again and you wouldn't dare unless you want to be sleeping in a box for a few centuries again." He hissed

"Whilst he's not causing any harm just leave him be, he's making Astrid happy."

---

Adam just rolled his eyes and pointed to one. "That one then,"

"You didn't really look around did you," She mused with a laugh, before simply going to pay for the mobile. Once she'd brought it she handed it to him.

-----
"The instant causes trouble, I don't care, he's dead."

"Thank you," he said simply.

---

"I'll leave it up to you to tell Tatia." Kol sighed, before leaving and texting Astrid he was okay.

"It's okay," She replied with a shrug, "Can you think of anything else you'll need?" she asked, glancing to her phone and letting out a small sigh of relief at Kol's text, texting back: How did they react?

----
Klaus just glared at him as he left.

Klaus said the instant he causes trouble he's dead, and I think he's debating whether or not to kill him anyway. Your mother wasn't around. I'm sure you'll hear about it when she does.


---


Hope started sniffling then, Kol banging the door having woke her up.

He kills him without good reason and I'll break his neck.  Okay, I'll be back at the house soon - I'm glad you're okay x

----
Klaus walked over and picked Hope up, rubbing her back gently, "Sshh,"

Hope silenced a little at that, clinging onto him tightly.

--

see you soon. Kol text back simply as he headed into the house and sat himself down with a drink.

"You're Uncle Kol's a idiot," Klaus told Hope quietly, "I told him to be quiet because you were sleeping."

---
"Klaus knows your back, be careful around him. As you can imagine he's not happy. Mother doesn't know yet." Astrid told her father quietly.

Adam just sighed. "Stupid boy, should've had Mikael bring him on one of the ships and thrown him overboard years ago." 

---

Hope just listened quietly, making small gurgling noises, perking up a bit because Henrik wasn't around.

Astrid just laughed quietly, "It'd be more then years ago, centuries is more of a accurate word for it." 

---
"You're a pretty girl, you know that, just like your mother and older sisters." Klaus told her, smoothing her hair down gently, "Talking of your mother, I need to tell her." he sighed.

"Still years at the end of the day," he laughed.

--

Hope just cooed quietly, moving her fist to her mouth and gumming on it.
