Akane Young was one of a kind. New Orleans, where magic weaved its threads through the very air, the girl with uniquely beautiful red and black hair found herself entwined in a destiny marked by chaos and sacrifice.
Hope Mikaelson, that name became...
Rebekah is hanging a festive wreath on the front door of their safe house. When she returns inside, she finds Elijah leaning against the fireplace, thinking.
"Well, isn't this place rather nice!" Rebekah says cheerfully. She picks up a bottle of wine and examines it. "Nik must have compelled a wine-lover to keep it up because I found a 2005 Bordet! Fancy a sip?"
" I appreciate the sentiment, Rebekah, but I do recognize when I'm being handled with kid gloves," says Elijah annoyed
[Rebekah sighs and puts down the wine]
"How are you feeling?" asks Rebekah "Patronized," replies Elijah
They both look down at Hope, who is playing in her playpen with Akane sitting by her side, reading a book while Hope plays with her toys.
"I am here to protect you," says Elijah
"I know you mean to Elijah--" says Rebekah when Elijah interrupts her
"And yet, you find it necessary to render me unconscious before bringing me here?"
"Well, you weren't yourself! And I needed to get us out of that diner."
"Be happy that Bex, brought you after I broke your neck, if it was me I would have left you there on the floor of that awful diner" Akane expressed from the playpen
"What happened back there?" Asked Rebekah
"I don't know. Niklaus sent me to protect Hope. My job is to keep her safe." says Elijah who is very tense.

Elijah is sitting on the porch with Hope, who is sitting in a baby seat by Akane's side, who is still reading a book. In the yard, Rebekah is setting up firewood.
"It's alright, Elijah. She won't break. Everything you did was in the name of protecting her. I'm not worried." says Rebekah
Elijah picks up Hope and holds her. Akane places a bookmark in her book and observes Elijah and Hope.
"Hi, sweetheart." he coos at Hope
"I am not going to hurt my niece, if you want to say something you can say it," He says to Akane who was staring at them intently.
"I know you are not going to hurt her, not at least consciously, I promised her father I would keep her safe and I keep my promises" She looks at him in the eye and continues, "I am paranoid and I have got attached to her, so gotta keep her away from harm's way"
"Reasonable" mutters Elijah
Elijah finally notices that Rebekah is setting up for a fire and looks at her in confusion.
