A/N: TVD ends, The originals begin. Welcome to the big easy...

Mississippi river, 300 years ago

An abandoned ship is shown left in the middle of the sea. "What do you make of that?" A man says.

"No banner; no flag. Floated in out of nowhere. A miracle ship." 

"Why is it just sitting out there?" 

"Suppose we ought to find out." The men are shown entering the ship, below deck. They walk down the ladder one by one holding up lanterns for light as we hear water dripping sounds. They have other men with them. "Where in hell is everyone?"

"Deserted. Which makes everything in the hold legally forfeit. Take what suits you. What do you make of that?" He refers to the coffins. "Open it up." The second man hesitates slightly, but soon opens the coffin, to reveal a daggered Kol. "What the hell?!"

Suddenly a door is heard swung open and men start to get attacked and disappear, but it is unclear who's doing the attacking. There are wind sounds nearby as the men start to disappear. Man 2 is the last one left. He holds up his lantern to see who's taking his men.

"Hello." Rebekah says as the man is spooked. She is vamped up and her veins begin to disappear, as she wipes the blood off her lips with her handkerchief. "Lovely to see such a handsome face after a long journey. Can I eat him, brother?"

"I'd rather you didn't." Elijah says as he walks out of a dark corner. 

"He is dessert...Finish off the others." Diana says, walking out of the other corner. 

"Nor that. There's no need to be afraid." Elijah starts compelling him. "And do exactly as I say. You will remember nothing."

"I will remember nothing."

"We've had a very long journey, wherein which, unfortunately, we lost all of our crew. Therefore, I will ask you kindly to transport our belongings to the shore."

"What kind of hell demons are you?"

"We're vampires, darling. The Original vampires: Rebekah, Elijah, our brothers Kol and Finn; may they rest in peace."

"Are we saving the best for last?" Klaus says from the deck as Diana rolls his eyes. "Oh god."

"And our half-brother, Niklaus. Ignore him; he's a beast." Rebekah continues. Klaus is shown with Man 1 as a dead body in his arms. His face is vamped up with blood over his mouth and he laughs slightly at Rebekah's comment, before pushing the dead body to the ground, which lands with a loud thud.

"We fled Europe and survived the seas. Would you rather I arrive hungry on the shores of our new homeland?" Klaus asks his siblings. 

"Niklaus, your manners are, as always, without equal. Sir, would you be so good as to tell us where it is that we have landed?"

"The French colony of Louisiana, off the shores of a town they have named New Orleans." 

"Thank you so much. Oh, I do recommend that you find yourself further assistance for the luggage. My sincere apologies."

Klaus arrives to his house where his children are staying to find a party going on inside. "Hey, ladies, drop it down, just wanna see you touch the ground." He hears music blasting on the speakers as he finds Elizabeth dancing on a table with a guy.

He read the sign hanging over the door. "Happy 13th, Sasha? What the hell? Elizabeth!"

"Dad...what are you doing here?"
