From the Other Side Esther saw her family, the abominations she had created laugh and smile as if the lives they had taken had no effect on them. They remained happy ignorant to the chaos and destruction they had caused. Esther was joined by her Husband; Mikael had tried to kill Nik in the effort to lessen the destruction the Mikaelson name had caused.

But he had failed.

'It is now in your hands my love as always; you must kill our children and restore the balance.' Said Mikael.

With that Esther steeled her resolve, she will kill her children and then maybe she will find peace, finally.

Niklaus had hidden his mother's body in the caves where he had once found solace from the wrath of the wolves during full moons. The entry of the cave was guarded by his hybrids.

In the Old Witch House, the talisman of the Original Witch was hidden under the loose floorboard where it had fallen when Aurora had thrown it on the floor. The red stone of the necklace glowed, Esther channeled all the power of the witches of that house and linked herself to their living descendants. Her body was a little translucent but she had full use of her magic. Using her magic, she searched for her body and appeared near it.

She would have to use the power of the full moon to connect her spirit with her body but the full moon was still almost a month away. She will bid her time and make plans.

She will undo the evil she brought onto the world.

Aurora was standing in front of her closet with a pout on her face, deep in thought. Today was her date with Nik was about to pick her up in an hour but she still could not decide what she wanted to wear. She had thrown Sirius out of her room as he would not stop making kissy faces at her constantly. Draco had given up on his efforts to make Sirius act like an adult he was, so he went to his study to catch up with work calls.

The door of her room opened and in came Teddy.

'Roro! Play with me please, Siri is not taking me flying. You are the bestest flier of all of us.'

'Sorry, Teddy bear. I have to go out today. I will take you flying in the morning tomorrow, okay?'

'Fine.' he said reluctantly.

Aurora picked him up and hugged him close.

'Why don't you help me pick my outfit for today?'

With a serious look that looked out of place on a five-year-old, Teddy selected a cream flowy skirt and an off-shoulder chocolate blouse. With his work done the little boy rushed out of the room.

She got ready and made her way downstairs to the living room which was only occupied by Severus.

Seeing her all beautiful for her date made him feel old, older than he the right to feel like.

She looked so much like her mother that sometimes he had to shake himself before calling her Lily. And now, she was going on a date, with a man who was well known for his temper and issues. The years that had passed had brought the two of them closer to each other. She was a daughter he had never had, the only child of the girl he had loved for a long time but he now had Narcissa in his life, where his love for Lily was like the fire that will live as long as he will but being with Cissa was like being under the Sun. She had warmed him even when he did not know he was cold and she loves Aurora as fiercely as if she was her own daughter.
