"There's a storm inside my head and it's killing all the flowers."

Rebekah rocked with Hope and Allison in a rocking chair at their new home while she tells them at story about their lives. She tells the story in voiceover as the scene cuts through various flashbacks to the previous season, including Klaus standing on the balcony overlooking the French Quarter, Francesca and her brothers attacking the vampires, Genevieve making the moonlight rings, Klaus being weakened by the rings drawing on his strength, and Malia mourning Hope and Allison's death" at the memorial for the fallen in the Battle of New Orleans.

"Once upon a time, there was a majestic king, who lived with his noble brother in a kingdom where music and art were celebrated. The king did not foresee having children, but he lived in an enchanted land where all things were possible. In time, he was blessed with two beautiful baby daughter's, for whom he wished only peace." Allison and Hope coos at Rebekah. "Still, the king had demons who pursued him. There was a ruthless beast who wanted to take the kingdom for her own. Armed with a pack of untamed creatures, she drove the other magical creatures from the land. And, there was a wicked sorceress with enchanted stones that weakened the king every full moon. Seeing the shadow his enemies cast upon his home, the king was driven to send his beloved princess away, convincing all who remained that she was forever lost.

Elijah locked the gates to the compound so they are no longer open to the public.

"The king, in his sorrow, turned away from the world. The castle closed its doors, and the kingdom fell. Some say that the only light that shines in the castle illuminates the shadow of the once majestic king in the room meant for his children. But, as the ruthless beasts took rule over the fallen king's realm, little did they know that he and his brother would not rest until their enemies were vanquished. For, they believed that one day, they would heal their kingdom and bring their precious princesses home, so that they might live happily ever after."

Klaus stood at the window of Hope and Allison's nursery, looking down on the street, as Elijah approached him from behind and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Elsewhere, Rebekah laid the girls in their crib, setting Klaus' carved wooden knight next to them before turning out the lights and leaving them to sleep.





I roamed around the former werewolf encampments in my coyote form for a while until I finally shifted back into human form. I pulled my clothes off of the clothes line and quickly redressed before walking toward Dwayne's old shack.

As I was walking, I found a burnt and melted baby doll, and the sight of it made me cry. It reminded me of my adoptive sisters doll and the way I don't have my babies in my arms. I picked it up and held it to my chest, tears falling down my cheeks.
