Nerezza Night was a very powerful being. Not much is known about when she was born, nor any of her origin. But she does know that she'd protect Hope Mikaelson from anything, even if it means sacrificing herself. While Hayley is on the search for her...

Nerezza Night was walking down a dark street in New Jersey. She was done with all the bullshit her brothers and sisters were putting her through. She just wanted to clear her head by taking a silent, peaceful stroll by herself with no interruptions, but she guessed everyone wanted to tick her off today.
She was in the midst of calming down her untamed anger when she suddenly heard a man's voice.
"Tell us where they are?!"
She could very much tell that this guy meant business by the pure rage seeping out of his mouth. "Well there goes my weekend." She thought to herself while rolling her eyes at the man's dramatics.
"Go screw yourselves!" She heard a different voice choke out. It sounded like a woman. "This guy seems like a real dick." She thought.
She finally had enough of his dramatics and used her powers to take her into the ally by the speed of light. Or the speed of the darkness, as she should say. Her power was hiding her from view. The man wasn't alone. There were 5 of them, all in blood red robes and chanting. One of them had his red hood down and was interrogating a young, brunette woman. The woman was on the ground clutching her neck as if she couldn't breathe.
"Tell us where you hid them or we'll kill you and your daughter!" His voice was getting louder by the second and it looked like he wasn't gonna hold back, so she summoned all the darkness she had and it wrapped around her hands in a black fog.
"Hey assholes!" She called out to the men. They turned to look at her quickly. The men were still casting the spell on the woman as she groaned in pain. "Didn't your mothers ever tell you that it's rude to harass a woman? Or do you just do this for fun."
"This is none of your business, girl. Move along before you get hurt." One of the men spoke up with a dangerous look on his face.
She was so done with this shit. She released the darkness onto the men and it had no mercy. She got a glimpse of shock on all their faces before it was ripped away by the darkness. It tore them to shreds, leaving nothing in their wake. The men were completely vaporized.
The woman looked at her with shock and got back onto her feet. "How the hell did you do that?"
"What? No thank you for saving your life?" Nerezza said with a smirk on her cherry red lips.
The woman hesitantly walked over to Nerezza. "Not to be rude or anything, but why did you save me?" She curiously asked.
"I'm having a bad night and those men were annoying me by thinking they were so indestructible. I guess you can say I wanted to put them in their place, which is probably in hell." She rambled on. "Sorry, I should introduce myself. I'm Nerezza Night, also known as the goddess of shadows."
The woman looked at her in shock. "Wait...gods are real?" She shook her head. "That's new. I've met werewolves, vampires, witches, hybrids, and even heretics, but never a god, let alone a goddess." She extended her hand. "Hayley Marshall, resident hybrid. Nice to meet you."
Nerezza shook her hand. "Pleasure." She replied with an amused smile in her tan face.
"So are you, like, evil?" Her eyes stared into her chocolate ones.
Nerezza giggled. "Depends on who you ask. But my answer would be no."
All of a sudden she heard a door open and a tiny voice. "Mommy, what's happening."
Peeking over from the door was a girl that looked about 2 years old. She had reddish, brown hair and small freckles dotting her face.
Hayley immediately ran over to the girl and pulled her into her arms. "Nothing Hope, go back to sleep." The little girl, or Hope, laid her head on Hayley's shoulder and fell back asleep.
"She's adorable. I'm guessing she's yours?" Her eyes were sparkling with interest. Nerezza could feel the powerful magic sweep off Hope in waves and she couldn't help but be interested.
"Yeah, best damn thing I've ever done is have this girl right here." Hayley said with pure adoration in her voice.
"She's really powerful. Her magic is almost as overwhelming as mine." Nerezza spoke up. "It's incredible." Nerezza felt drawn to Hope in a way she hasn't felt in a long time.
"She has magic?" Hayley asked in complete shock.
Nerezza nodded her head. "Very powerful magic at that."
Hayley looked down at Hope and smiled. "My powerful baby." She whispered to Hope and kissed her forehead.
"I'm willing to make you a deal." Nerezza broke the touching moment.
Hayley's head snapped up and she furrowed her eyebrows. "What kind of deal?"
Nerezza took a step toward Hayley. "I'm willing to protect your daughter at all costs and control her magic, for only one small thing."
"And what would that be?" Hayley asked protectively. Hayley wouldn't let anyone hurt a hair on hopes head.
"A purpose." Nerezza let out with wide, pleading eyes.
Hayley was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Nerezza took a deep breathe. "I've lived my whole immortal life without something to live for. All I've done was try to please my brothers and sisters by doing everything they needed. But no more. I want a life of purpose and fun. And maybe you and Hope can give me just that." Nerezza let a small tear leak out of her eye before harshly wiping it away.
Hayley felt pity for the goddess in front of her and couldn't help but trust her. She might've just met the girl, but she felt as if she was meant to help her. Hayley accepted the deal and that lead to where they are today.
