Flashback -southern France , 1002 AD
Kara watches her siblings gorge on the latest meal impassively, but her gaze stops of Niklaus who looks sad at the life he's taken, Kara allows a small smile at the gentleness of her brother.. Before kol comes over slapping Niklaus on the shoulder with bloody smile.

The sight annoys Kara to no end and she walks away from the two, and moves over to her Rebekah who squabbles back and forth with Elijah about posing as the family they've killed and take their places in society. She admits the idea is sound but something else pulls her attention from Rebekah and Elijah and she focuses her hearing on the racing heart beat, her lips twitches and she pulls back the cloth and stares at the man trying to stay hidden.

"Hello."

The man's eyes widens in fear "Please.. please .. don't kill me.."

Kara raises a brow and looks at the rest of her siblings that joined her "Rebekah." She calls and looks at the blonde "This man seems to be some sort of attendant for the poor family we've relieved of their mortal coils"

"Our most important rule Kara." Elijah reminds her as if she were a child.

Her expression doesn't falter "I'm well aware of our rule brother." She replies blankly and stares at the man , unknowingly starts to compel him "You will tell us everything  about the family you attended, their history, their names and everything of import, refuse this and I'll make short work of your pitiful life is that understood?" While she speaks her steely blue eyes dilates and the man goes in some sort of trance and repeats everything she said, she stared at him strangely earning surprised looks from her siblings as well.

"How did you do that?" Kol asked intrigued

Kara shakes her head "I have no idea."

Finn pursed his lips "It was as if he was compelled to tell you everything."

Kara's eyes lights up a bit "Compulsion.." she murmurs more to herself but her siblings seems excited by the new ability, She looks back to the man "What's your name boy?"

The scared human gulps harshly "Lucien.. ma'am"

Present- South Marseille -2014

Kara stares at the email she's received , a name she has heard for centuries lingers at the bottom of the email.

"What's wrong?"

Kara looks up from the laptop and over at Hayley who feeds sets a bowl of mashed fruit before their daughter.

"Nothing, I just received a email from a company called , castle industries, they're trying to buy me out on the bayou."

Hayley scowls at the news "Well? Are you going to sell it?"

Kara scoffs a little "Why would I? The pack lives there and once we start proper development, it'll be a little village, one devoid of shanties and trailers."

Hayley breathes a little easier "Well, why would they even want to buy the property? Is it really that valuable?"

Kara shrugs "Depends on what you're aiming for, in terms of pure real estate value, it's not a bad move, but if you're looking to build a hotel or something, it won't be as successful, while the bayou has its charm it's not exactly luxury views .."

Hayley snorts "Well even though I want to defend my ancestral home , I really can't because you do have a point." She turns to Hope "Come on baby, all of it this time and don't throw it at your mama"

Hope giggled "mama" 

Kara grins "Yeah love?"

"Sea?" Hope asks hopefully
