The Originals

season 1, episode 1

After returning to New York and having another party for Tony's birthday, some witches had gotten word to Cassie that there was a problem including her brothers and Astrid down in New Orleans. It shocked her, if she was honest. Cassie hadn't been back to New Orleans since 1919 and since Marcel died she saw no point in returning. 

But when the witches uttered the word werewolf and called someone the King of New Orleans - They had her immediate attention. So, here she was, in the city of jazz as she watched in disbelief Marcel Gerard stroll down the street with some vampire friends.

"You know, if I were to bet on which original would first return to New Orleans, you would be at the bottom of my list aunt Cass." He said cockily as he turned around and saw her.

She shook her head with a humourless laugh. "I can't believe you're alive. You never thought to come and find any of us?" She asked.

He scoffed. "You all ran from your daddy not looking back, someone had to keep the city from burning. Believe me, I waited. But after a few years I grew tired and built my own empire instead."

"You call this an empire? An empire where only one species can roam freely?" She asked, walking closer to him. "Oh yes, I heard about what you did- what you're doing to the wolves and the witches."

"Why are you even here?" He asked after a few moments of silence.

She thought about telling him but decided against it. "I wanted to see if my witch friends were telling the truth- about you being alive. Now that I know I'm not welcome, I'll take my leave. Goodnight."

But she was far from done with this city.

Cassie was now walking to the cemetery, apparently it was where the witches did all their spells. Or, used to anyway. When she got to the gates, she was surprised to realise she couldn't enter.

"What the hell?" She muttered. Cassie tried walking in again but it didn't work. She sighed in exasperation and ran a hand over her face. "Hello, anyone there?"

Elijah and another woman finally walked out. "Ah, sister, you've arrived."

"Well, you called in desperation so here I am," She replied sarcastically. "Cleaning up our brothers mess. Again."

The older one rolled his eyes. "Cassandra this is the witch who brought us here, Sophie Deveraux. Sophie, this is my sister, Cassandra. She usually has better manners I apologise. Could you invite her in please?"

"You can come in." The girl, Sophie, said before disappearing into a tomb again.

"What am I doing here, Elijah?" Cassie asked him in annoyance.

"You'll see." He lead her into the tomb where Astrid was sitting next to another brunette girl who she remembered was Hayley, the werewolf girl from Mystic Falls. "To put it simple, Hayley is carrying Niklaus' child."

Cassie looked at Elijah, then at Hayley, then Astrid, then Sophie and repeated this twice before blurting out, "What?!"

"You remember when I told you I was about 3 months pregnant when I died?" Astrid intervened and asked. Cassie nodded slowly. "Well a few weeks ago, when Nik and I- you know-"

"Had sex while I was right next door." Hayley interrupted.

"Yes. Well- basically my unborn child was transported into Hayley as she was the closest living thing to us."
