"The curse that plagued our family for seven years has taken its toll on all of us. On our city. On our home. On our family. The consequences of us being together were grave, but today, thanks to you, we celebrate a new beginning. One in which we have the freedom to stand side by side. And whatever trials may come, we will face them together, as a family. Always and forever." Klaus spoke to his daughters and sister as they sat at the table. The three then lifted their glasses together before taking a sip.

"Would you please pass the beignets?" The twins asked in unison, before glancing at one another.

"Of course." Freya responded to them both as she placed the beignets in between them.

They then both locked eyes on one of the beignets, both wanting that specific one. Faith was faster than her sister, and quickly snatched it, before smirking at her smugly and taking a bite.

"So, Rebekah will be back in a few days. She's just tying up some loose ends overseas." Klaus announced, as he smiled at his children's antics.

"It'll be nice to have her here." Hope said pleased.

"It'll be good to have all of us under one roof again.

"Good morning." Elijah spoke as he looked at his nieces, Hope stared back while Faith just rolled her eyes and turned away, "Obviously, there is a lot for us to discuss. Girls, let me begin by telling you how truly sorry..."

Faith stared at her fork and accident bent it, interrupting her uncle she said, "Thanks for breakfast, guys, but I promised Rudy I'd call him." She told them before standing and leaving the room.

Hope stayed where she sat, before looking at her sisters dish and seeing that she had taken the beignet with her causing her to groan, Faith peeked her head around the corner and smirked, "You thought I would leave you my beignet?" She sarcastically asked before taking a bite and fully walking away.

"That's not normal. She's not normal." Klaus said as he stared down at Faiths fork.

"She lost her mother, Niklaus. I shouldn't have come down here." Elijah told him.

"No you shouldn't have." Hope glared at him. She knew that her sister was not okay, and the two were slowly getting closer again.

"At least you can claim amnesia, unlike our sister, who willingly aided a child in ruining her life." Klaus gave his sister a pointed look when saying this.

"Faith is not a child." Freya told him in response.

"Did you even consider what absorbing all that magic could do to her?" Klaus's asked.

"And what choice did I have?"

"Deny her. Defy her. We had a plan to keep the dark magic away from her." Klaus was enraged with his sister allowing this to happen.

"A plan that wasn't working." Freya tried to make him see. Hope didn't blame her aunt, but she was angry with her.

"Yes, well, thanks to you, the magic has her now. So, if my daughter should be harmed in any way, shape or form, I will hold you personally responsible.""

"I know you're there." Faith told her father from where she sat with her pastels. She liked drawing with them instead of paint. Her phone call with Rudy had tired her out, since it was spent with him constantly yelling at her for being an idiot.
