Hope wakes up in an oddly familiar place. She feels the familiar fabric on her finger tips and looks around weirdly.

"Why I am here?" She murmurs quietly to herself in confusion.

A knock outside of her bedroom door is heard. "Honey, are you awake?"

Hopes head snaps towards the door and her tears are already building in her big hopeful eyes.

"Hope don't make me send your father in! You know how excited he is for today!" She hears her shout.

The door slowly opens and she openly gasps. "Mom?"

Camilla sees her tears falling down her daughters face and she immediately frowns. Rushing towards her daughter she brings her into a warm hug. "What's wrong hun?"

"You're here." Hope whispers, staring at every inch of her mother as if she was memorizing it.

"I'm always going to be here darling, what's bothering you?" Camilla questions with furrowed eye brows.

"Y-you were dead." Hope stutters, suddenly clutching onto her mom.

"Hope, what are you talking about?" Camilla questions worriedly. "Did you have a bad dream? You haven't had one that has shook you this much since you were a child."

"A child?" Hope whispers, knowing that her real mother didn't know she was her mom until she was seventeen.

"The hollow, it used to make you and Jace so scared that you guys refused to sleep with anyone besides me and your father." Camilla says in slight deep thought.

Suddenly Hope sees her father in her doorway with a bright smile, holding his pointer finger towards his lips. Too confused to say anything she watches as he sneaks up on her mother.

He grabs her by her waist, easily lifting her off of the mattress and spinning her around as she squeals in delight.

"What's happening?" Hope yells, getting overwhelmed with everything that was happening.

"That's mom and dad every morning Hope." A new voice pops up. "I don't know how you aren't used to it by now."

Once again looking at her door she sees Alec standing against the doorway with a large smile as he watches her parents mess around.

"Dad?" Hope blurts out. Her head was spinning and she had no idea what was going on.

"Are you okay?" Alec questions with his head tilted.

"Come on kiddos! Uncle Elijah is waiting for us downstairs, he wanted us to have breakfast together!" Camilla interrupts Hopes response as Klaus groans into her neck.

"He couldn't have ate breakfast in his own home?" Klaus questions rhetorically making Camilla pinch him in annoyance.

"Be nice!" She scolds, though the amused smile on her face says she was anything but angry.

As soon as everyone left her room to allow her to get ready she stares into the mirror in shock. "What is happening?"

Walking down the stairs she sees Alec, Elijah, Klaus, Camilla, Kol, Davina, and Jace all sitting at the table laughing together.

"If it isn't my favorite niece!" Kol exclaims with a wide smile.

"She's your only niece Kol." Cami scoffs with a roll of her eyes.

"Don't be jealous darling, you'll always be my favorite everything." He winks, succeeding in agitating his brother and amusing his wife.

"Knock it off Kol." Klaus grumbles. Hopes eyes widen when she watches her mother smile cheekily and kiss his cheek making him let out a small smile.

She slowly sits in her chair as they all begin talking again.

"So the twins called me and your dad this morning and said they should be home in a few days. She also said that Caroline and Stefan are staying for a couple weeks!" Camilla says happily.

"Aunt Caroline... and Stefan?" Hope questions confusedly.

"Well they've been married for ten years now, I would hope that they would come together." Kol scoffs in a 'duh' manner.

Hopes whole head was spinning and pounding. Stefan and Caroline were married? But Stefan and her mom we're married.

Elijah begins to feel uncomfortable and loosens his tie a bit hoping for a change in conversation once Caroline is mentioned. Which doesn't go unnoticed by Hope.

"So when are we going back to school?" Hope questions, trying to get a gist of what was going on.

"You're home schooled love." Klaus states amused with a brow raised.

"Where is Alaric?" Hope questions again. Making everyone tense

Camillas face scrunches in slight pain with a small frown. Klaus notices and grabs her hand and gives it a small reassuring kiss.

"Hope that was rude." Jace sends her a slight glare. "He's been dead since before the twins were born why would you bring that up now?"

"Dead?!" Hope stands up in out rage. This wasn't right. No boarding school and Alaric was dead.

"Where's uncle Damon?" Hope questions yet again. Trying to find some familiarity.

"Hope!" Klaus raises his voice in anger wondering why she was acting like this.

"It's okay..." Camilla sniffles slightly. "Hope you know that Damon and Elena didn't want anyone to bother them after they took the cure and moved away. No one has heard from them in years."

Hope gapes at everyone around the table unbelievably.

"What is your problem today?" Alec asks with an angry expression. "Are you trying to upset mom?"

"What! No!" Hope exclaims. "She's dead!" She yells in anger and sadness pointing at her mother. "This isn't real! None of this is real!" Hope yells while waving her hands around.

"HOPE MIKAELSON!" Klaus screams, standing abruptly from his chair. The scraping making her flinch.

Camilla gets up from her chair and begins walking up the stairs to collect herself. Klaus follows hurriedly.

But when he finds her she's passed out on the floor. "Cami! Love?" He questions frantically. Shaking her awake her eyes flutter open in confusion.

"Klaus?" She questions with wide eyes. She lunges at him and hugs him like a life line but he pushes her back slightly.

"What happened love?" He searches her body for any injuries and kisses her all over her face in relief.

Camillas whole body freezes, this is exactly what he used to do when they were together. Shower her with kisses. This wasn't real.

She was dead.

She thinks back to her robot controlled like memories and rushes out of the room back down stairs where Hope was getting yelled at.

Hope is suddenly crushed into a hard hug. She tenses for a second before realizing its Camilla.

Camilla discreetly kisses her forehead before whispering in her ear. "This isn't real. Play along."

Hopes eyes widen but she lets out a breath of relief that someone believed her. She wasn't crazy.

"Hope lets go on a walk, you can tell me why you're acting like this then." Camilla says in mock scolding tone. Jace and Alec let out a sound of 'ohhhh's'

Hope nods her head slightly dazed and follows the blonde outside.

As soon as they near an ally Camilla grabs Hopes hand and speeds them into it.

Grabbing the younger girl by both sides of her face she whispers. "Is it really you?"

"Mom?" Hope cries out. Camilla nods her head sadly with a small smile. "A-am I dead?"

Camilla hurriedly shakes her head no. "No baby you're not. I think we're in your dream."

"How are you here?" Hope stutters, her body shaking in confusion.

"You brought me here. Your magic was calling to me." She informs her daughter sadly. "You're the only one who hasn't accepted my death yet."

"I can't just let you go!" Hope yells. Repulsed that her mother would ever suggest moving on. "I- I just found you and then you died! You let yourself die!"

"Hope!" Camilla yells urgently. "I love you! I love you so much okay? I need you to remember that. Something is coming. Something bad. You need to be prepared. Don't let your guard down, protect each other." She whispers with her forehead on her daughters. Tears streaming down both of their faces.

"Please don't leave me." Hope begs with a large wail.

"I can't help it baby." Camilla whispers brokenly. "I'll always be with you. Never forget that."

"Can you do one last thing for me?" Camilla asks once she calms her emotions down.

Hope nods her head quickly, willing to do anything. Camilla softly smiles before whispering something in her ear.

Lifting their heads they stare at each other in sadness. Tears staining their red faces. Kissing Hopes forehead one last time she says. "You have to go back Hope."

"How can I bring you back?" Hope suddenly questions.

"You cant Hope." Camilla whispers sadly. "Goodbye my love."

Camilla suddenly fades away and Hope wakes up screaming, making everyone around her flinch.

"Hope?" Klaus questions relieved as he rushes towards her laying form on her bed.

As she looks around she sees that all of the adults are huddled together watching worriedly.

"I saw her." Hope whispers, it breaks all of their hearts when they see the sadness in her eyes.

"Who did you see?" Freya questions worriedly.

"My mom." She says solemnly. "How long was I asleep?"

"Two days." Bonnie speaks up, watching the teenagers every move. She believed her.

"Two days?!" Hope exclaims. "It was a day in my dream, a couple hours!"

"I think your magic pulled your mother's soul towards your own." Bonnie said, surprising them all.

"She said the same thing. She was real." Hope suddenly gasps, all of her emotions hitting her at once. She lets out a sob.

"You talked to her?" Kol's voice croaks out.

Damon squeezes his shoulder in comfort and Kol doesn't brush his hand off.

"She said something bad was coming!" Hope suddenly yells. Worrying all of the adults. "It was real! It was her! She was warning me. Somethings coming."

"What's coming?" Elijah asks as he interlaces Caroline's shaking hands in his own.

"She didn't say." Hope shakes her head. "Just that something really bad was coming."

Klaus sighs as he kisses Hopes forehead, Hope closes her eyes remembering how Camilla had done the same exact thing a few minutes prior.

He walks out of the room with out another word.

"I'll go talk to him." Rebekah whispers about to leave when Hope stops her.

"Wait! Let me." She says with her hand up.

Following her fathers trail she finds him staring out at the lake on the end of the doc.

She stands next to him in silence for a few seconds before whispering. "She wanted me to tell you something."

Klaus' body tenses before releasing a harsh breath. "Well if she was going to yell at me I thought she'd atleast quit in death."

Hope interrupts him by saying. "She told me to tell you that she heard you. She forgives you. That she's still waiting on that other life."

Klaus' breath hitches. His eyes watering as he stares at the side of his daughters head. She shakes her head cluelessly and lets out a small chuckle. "Whatever that meant."

She kisses his cheek with a small sad smile before walking away leaving him to his thoughts.

His knees buckle as he stares at the reflective water. Lifting his head he stares at the sun that was quickly setting.

He felt like there was another presence near. It was almost as if she was right next to him.

And she was.

He felt like her hand was on his shoulder as he stared right into the sunset with tears flowing down his cheek.

"Wait for me love." He whispers heart brokenly.

"Always." She whispers back with a teary eyed smile.
