After a decade living in the afterlife Klaus Mikaelson and his brother Elijah had found a version of peace living together in a dream like version of the Abattoir in New Orleans with their loved ones which included; Camille O'Connell, Hayley Marshall and most surprisingly a grown up version of their youngest sibling Henrik Mikaelson.
The option of seeing Henrik as anything but a child was new to both Klaus and Elijah and not only did it please them but it helped lift some of the weight of the guilt Klaus had carried for a thousand years for feeling responsible for his youngest sibling's death.
Noticeably missing through their family reunion after life, with the addition of honoree Mikaelson Hayley and the former psychologist bartender Cami, was the Mikaelson's treacherous parents Esther and Mikael and their deadly aunt Dahlia, after all this was the brother's version of heaven not hell.
Although Klaus managed to find ways to check up on his daughter he never worried too much about her, knowing she would and eventually did find her way in the world making her prouder than he could ever have imagined being, allowing for him and his brother Elijah to be at peace with their deaths.
The only problem is the living were not at peace while the two Mikaelson brothers remained dead leading to a trio of powerful witches casting a wicked spell snatching Klaus and Elijah from their heaven, bypassing hell and returning them to the land of the living, right to the city of New Orleans.
"I knew hell was on hold!" Klaus stated as he woke up on the ground within the Lafayette Cemetery, sitting up to see Elijah stood above him, looking equally confused as to how they wound up there.
"I am not too sure this is hell Niklaus, in fact if I were to take guess I'd go for, well I would say somebody with a heck of a lot of power just brought us back from the dead." Elijah replied to his hybrid brother, as Klaus quickly rose to his feet.
"Hope," Klaus uttered, automatically fearing the worst about his daughter.
"Hope does not know anything about me and yet I am here!" The now adult Henrik stated, as he appeared from behind a large gravestone. "I do not know what has brought us all back brothers, but I can tell you with certainty it is not Mikaelson magic."
"Actually brothers..." Rebekah announced as she vamp sped her way into the cemetery, confronting all three of her brothers, ready to admit her truth. "It was definitely Mikaelson meddling I just so happened to use a different source of magic to get the deed done."
Klaus, Elijah, and Henrik stood there in shock, surprised by Rebekah's actions, unsure of why she had brought them back to life, fearing the answer would be far worse than it was. Meanwhile Rebekah turned to face Henrik, instantly feeling a connection with him but having only seen him as a child, not being able to work out his identity.
"Who the bloody hell are you?" She asked, not knowing it was her youngest brother all grown up.

As the hours went by and the world around him continued to live Klaus Mikaelson began to slowly realize that there was no going back to the place, he had been for a decade of what he considered bliss.
He had grown used to the place he and his brothers Elijah and Henrik had come to think of as a form of heaven and was at peace with himself for the first time ever but now he was back in New Orleans, a place that was once his home had now felt like nothing more than the thing blocking him from a much better fate all because his sister Rebekah Mikaelson missed them too much, something that would have touched Klaus if he was not so furious about it all.
"You mean to say that there is literally nothing bloody wrong and yet you pull us back from death to what check in?" Klaus shouted at his sister within the compound, as he, Rebekah, Elijah, and Henrik stood by the empty fountain.
"You died with the hollow inside of you how was I supposed to know you were not suffering an eternity in some kind of hell?" Rebekah snapped back at her brother, while Elijah and Henrik decided to just stand there and watch how the fight played out.
"You were supposed to move on with your life like everybody else, you spent so long trying to get rid of me and then when you do you stop at nothing to bring me back!" Klaus continued to argue with his sister.
"Yes, I for one would like to know how exactly you managed to bring us back and who exactly helped you." Elijah told Rebekah, somewhat alarmed at the possible measures his sister went to bring them all back.
"It was nothing bad Elijah I just called in some favors from old friends and they were more or less happy to oblige." Rebekah replied, telling a half-truth to Elijah.
"Well I for one am glad to have a chance at living once again just keep the werewolves from me this time around." Henrik chimed in, only to be met by frustrated glances from his siblings, forgetting for a moment his brother Niklaus was a werewolf/vampire hybrid.
"So, I admit I was rash and I will more than likely regret this decision sooner rather than later but I just hated the idea of everything moving on....Freya's got a kid, Davina and Kol too and Klaus...your daughter...she's getting married...how can you not be here for that?" Rebekah informed Klaus, shocking her brother by the admission his daughter was now engaged.
"She's engaged?" Klaus responded with a soft smile, genuinely happy for his daughter Hope.
"Yeah to Caroline's daughter...I guess Hope is better at getting the girl than you brother." Rebekah teased him.
"So, we are back here for a wedding? Seriously Rebekah I have come to expect this carelessness from Kol and Niklaus, but I thought better of you!" Elijah complained to his sister. "Also, if this is your logic why not bring back Hayley as well as us?"
"Trust me I was all up for resurrecting every single person I ever lost but it was hard enough sale for the two of you." Rebekah answered Elijah, before turning to Henrik. "Not sure how you wound up alive again and all grown up...that is giving me a headache trying to work out."
"If you did not rope my daughter into this ressurection party of yours just which old friends did you persuade or threaten?" Klaus wondered. "Please tell me it was not Bonnie Bennet she has already stopped my death once before and was quite honestly very righteous about it."
"The kind of magic which would resurrect two original vampires and possibly the hollow would have to be that of a great darkness, a Black magic darker than even our aunt Dahlia's." Elijah suggested, as he began realizing the truth. "Oh, Rebekah please tell me our lives are not owed to any of them...."

Although Rebekah was under the illusion the ressurection spell had worked perfectly with the delightful addition of her youngest brother Henrik, Annabella knew better in fact Henrik coming back was not the only thing that went awry with the spell that Bella, Kayne and Rose had cast, in fact as the Black siblings were about to realize very quickly the spell they had done together had caused all kinds of chaos with more awaiting not only them but the Mikaelson's too.
"I cannot believe we did not get the hollow one of you witches must have done something wrong!" Rose accused her siblings, as Rose, Kayne and Bella walked into a luxurious hotel room within New Orleans.
"Who is to say you did not mess up? I mean you are hardly the wonder witch of the family!" Kayne snapped back at his sister.
"Not gaining the power of the hollow are the last of our worries, I fear something is wrong, I can feel it in my bones I just cannot get my head around what." Bella warned her siblings, eager to determine the extent of the damage from the spell the three of them cast.
"You worry too much Annabella," Kayne responded, dismissing his older sister's worries. "The only thing we messed up on was bringing back the Mikaelson's and getting nothing out of it!"
"Speak for yourself Kayne, I for one struck a deal with Rebekah from the very beginning I may not have the hollow, but I am sticking around here until I get something else, I want." Rose revealed to them both. "Of course, I first have to work out something that is really going to make Rebekah's life a living hell."
"So, you had a back up plan all this time?" Kayne furiously shouted at Rose. "Guess I am fool for thinking you actually cared for either of us...you have not changed one bit!"
"Oh, please you already said yes the minute Rebekah asked anything for the man who would rather be dead then be anywhere near you!" Rose cruelly taunted her brother, before turning to Bella. "And you...what do you get now that Rebekah's got her use out of you? Yeah, that is right you will go back to hiding from the rest of the world."
"Can we please just stop attacking each other for one second so we can work out the amount of damage we have caused with that god damn spell?" Bella shouted, eager to get her siblings to stop fighting with each other and her.
Suddenly, the sound of a loud knocking noise coming from their hotel door had stopped the three siblings in mid fight as they looked among themselves trying to figure out who would be knocking on the door; Bella fearing it would be a newly revived Elijah issuing an polite warning about leaving New Orleans, Kayne fearing he would be reunited with Klaus and Rose hoping it was anyone or anything that would get her away from her family.
"I guess I will get it then," Rose said as she walked over to the hotel room door. "Honestly, you would think neither of you were all powerful witches..."
As Rose swung the door open neither her, Kayne or Bella could prepare themselves for who stood in their doorway ready to greet the bewitching siblings.
"So, you are the witches who have went and screwed up death!" Katherine Pierce greeted the three siblings as she stood within their doorway, Bella instantly realizing in that moment they had brought back more than just Klaus and Elijah. "I just wanted to say thanks for old time's sake before I get the hell out of this city...which if I were you guys I would do the exact same before Klaus gets pissed and decides to kill the lot of you!"
"Katerina Petrova?" Bella managed to say, while still in shock from Katherine's arrival.
"How exactly did we screw up death?" A clueless Kayne asked the female vampire.
"Wow, you did not even mean to do it did use?" Katherine laughed at them. "In that case I'd highly advise getting the hell out of here before Mikael arrives.... oh well I've done my good deed for the century...it was good seeing you again Annabella."
Before Bella could muster up anymore words and before Kayne had any chance to ask Katherine any questions about her claim about him and his sisters screwing up death, Katherine Pierce had already vamp sped out of sight all too eager to get as far away from the chaos that was most definitely about to follow.
"I guess you were right Annabella," Rose said as she turned to face her sister. "Just one question in what way did we just screw up death?"
"In a really bad way..." Kayne said with a look on horror on his face, which caught his sisters' attention as they turned to look at what he was staring blankly at, only to see their brother Magnus Black was now stood in the doorway.
