《[I] Freedom {Klaus Mikaelson}》XLVII. Graduation

Klaus woke up to an empty bed. He glanced around for the siphoner, but she was nowhere in sight. He stood up from the bed and searched the whole mansion until he arrived at an empty room. Used candles, blood, and a map were on the ground signaling Faith had used magic.
His eyes narrowed when he heard the floor creak from behind him. He turned around only for his neck to be snapped, killing him temporarily.
Daniel Woods stood over the hybrid's body. "My daughter has the same bad taste as me."
He grabbed the hybrid by the leg and dragged him across the floor.

Klaus's head rolled to the side before he lifted it. His arms were chained up to the ceiling and his body ached. A blonde man with familiar blue eyes sat in front of him on the couch. He was flipping through the pages of one of the Everly's grimoires. Growing bored of it, he threw it to the side on the couch.
He grinned when he noticed the hybrid awake. "Ah! You're awake, that's good."
"What have you done to me?" Klaus glowered, pulling on the chains despite his weakened body.
"Oh, nothing much," he dismissed. "Just did a few spells here and there."
He stood up from the couch and walked up to Klaus. He crossed his arms, his eyes shining with amusement as he stood about a foot away from the hybrid. "Now, can you tell me where my daughter is?"
"I don't remember killing you," Klaus said, instead. "I've killed over thousands of supernatural beings. I hope you don't expect me to know who you are or much less where your daughter is."
The man's blue eyes hardened. His magic concentrated on the chained up hybrid, ready to snap his neck again when a voice spoke from the doorway of the room.
"Klaus?" Footsteps followed in a hurry. "Dad?"
Both men turned to the woman they both love, dearly. With her black frizzy hair pulled into a ponytail away from her face, her confused expression changed into a smile. Faith rushed toward the blonde man. Her arms wrapped around his neck as the man wrapped his arms around her.
"Dad?" Klaus repeated, watching the interaction between the father and daughter.
Faith pulled away from her father's embrace, grinning happily at him. Her expression soon faltered and turned into worry. "If you're here, that means..."
Her eyes widened and turned around to leave in a hurry. Daniel immediately grabbed her hand from leaving. "Circe is taken care of. I've made sure to let the other supernatural beings know what she has done. No one is going to let her hurt you or Dani. Especially since that Mikaelson boy is basically their leader and cares for you."

At the mention of Kol, Klaus pulled on the chains. "My brother? Where is he?"
"But, Dad," Faith stammered. "This isn't supposed to happen. I'm glad I'm able to talk to you, but if the veil is broken that means Silas-"
Daniel nodded, confirming her thought.
Klaus cleared his throat, making both father and daughter look at him. "I'll appreciate it if you let me go now, especially since you have found your daughter."
Faith waved her hand in his direction and the chains unraveled themselves from the hybrid. "Why did you chain him up?" She asked, glancing at her father.
"Faith as much as I am glad that you received my personality," Daniel smiled at his daughter before glaring at the hybrid, who also glared back. "I didn't expect for you to receive the same bad taste in people that I have."
"I'm not the one who married a sociopath," Faith rolled her eyes at him. "And then had a child with her."
Daniel smirked at his daughter. From behind them, Klaus grunted in pain as he pulled himself up. "Not to ruin the family moment, but what are we going to do with the dead supernatural walking the Earth?"
"They want the cure and Silas," Daniel said. "So they can make Silas take the cure then kill him."
"Well, sorry to disappoint but we don't have any of those things," Faith told him.
Daniel shook his head. "I know, but I'll be damned if I don't see you graduate high school today. Your boyfriend and I are going to take care of that."
Faith glanced at Klaus. The hybrid glared at her father but gave a reluctant nod of agreement. "Go graduate. You've been saying you wanted to graduate so you'll be able to live with your daughter."
Faith grinned before turning to her father. "Don't let him die."
"Not even a little?"
"No!" Faith yelled as she rushed to the shared bedroom of Klaus' and hers.

"I'm here," Elena smiled as she walked up to Bonnie, Caroline, and Matt with Stefan. She hugged Bonnie, "thank you for today."
"Where's Faith?" Caroline asked, glancing around.
Despite their differences, the whole friend group had made plans to graduate together before the vampires arrived back in Mystic Falls.
"We can't do this without her," the blonde glanced around for the siphoner.
"Boo!"
The blonde let out a scream causing everyone to laugh. Faith laughed at her reaction as Caroline glared at her. "You didn't actually think I wouldn't graduate?" Faith asked.

"Didn't we vote for you as the most likely to graduate out of all of us?" Elena retorted.
"I can't believe it," Caroline smiled. "We're actually all here together!"
"Bonnie Bennett, are you crying?" Caroline questioned her as they all looked at the teary-eyed witch.
"It's our last hurrah before you guys go off to college," Bonnie explained.
"Before 'we' go off to college," Caroline corrected her.
"I'm going to live with my daughter," Faith grinned. "I won't miss a single moment of her ever again."
"I'm happy we're all here," Bonnie said grabbing hold of Caroline's hand.
"Aw! Group hug!"
Immediately Stefan and Faith protested against it, but they were pulled into the middle as everyone else hugged them.
• • • •
"Why didn't anyone tell me about this?" Faith yelled at Caroline, Elena, and Stefan as she had her phone next to her ear. Bonnie was taken by Kol somewhere while everyone else was graduating. She ran her hand through her hair as her graduation cap was being held by Caroline. "And the one time I'm calling him, he doesn't fucking answer."
Suddenly the vampires in front of Faith started to hold their heads in pain. They began to fall to the ground. Behind them were the twelve witches Caroline had killed not long ago. "Remember us, Caroline?"
"Oh, shut the fuck up," Faith said, annoyed. She easily waved her hand in the air and the witch's neck snapped.
A red graduation cap was thrown from behind her and sliced another witch's head off. The siphoner turned around to see Klaus with another cap in hand. "There are plenty more of these to go around," the hybrid smirked. "Who's next? I can do this all day."
"And I'm here as well," Daniel smiled at his daughter next to the hybrid.

"What took you so long?" Faith asked her father. They stood in the empty football field under the night sky.
"Well, your history teacher didn't trust your boyfriend or the fact that I was your father," Daniel said. "Especially since we look nothing alike."
"I'll say it's a good thing I don't have Circe's green eyes," Faith shrugged. "Then I'll the replica of her."
There was a moment of silence. Faith's head was going through the millions of things she always wanted to talk about to her father. She couldn't quite make up her mind of what to say.
"I'm going to miss you," she whispered, her eyes easily filling up with tears. She turned away and wiped her eyes. "God, I've been so emotional these days."
"Faith," Daniel said in a soft tone. He pulled his daughter into his arms. His head was also wrenched with sadness as he had to leave yet again. But he felt relieved that she was able to come to love and believe in herself despite Circe's abuse. She was even able to let others love her.
"I'm proud of you," he said. "And I will always be. Don't even think for a moment that I don't. You are better than me and you're definitely better than Circe."
"Thank you, Dad," Faith cried. "I just wished you were able to meet Dani."
"I don't have to," he said. "I'm sure she is as amazing as you are."
Faith sobbed as the solid body of her father disappeared. She hugged herself as she crouched to the ground. It was never easier to say goodbye to her father.
After a few seconds of trying to calm herself down, Faith stood up from the ground. She began making her way back to the car that Klaus most likely compelled out of the owner. She was halfway out of the empty football field when her phone rang.
MG is calling...
"Yes?" She answered.
Abruptly, she stopped. The world seemed to stop. It felt like the world around her was crumbling to the ground. Her airway seemed to restrict her from breathing. Then all of the sudden, she began to breathe rapidly.
As the breeze passed by her, Faith disappeared from the empty football field with only her cellphone on the green grass.
"Faith, it's Dani...she's missing..."

Aha! You probably hate me for this.
You've been asking if I'll be doing a sequel and to answer your question... Yes, I will be doing a sequel.
Though it won't be published until about a week from now. The reason being that I've been distracted on writing other fanfics 😉.
I still need to edit some things about the book and I need to find a cover photo for the story.
I hope you enjoyed Faith's journey through Mystic Falls and her relationship with Klaus!
Until next time...

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!
