Klaus Mikaelson's recent visit to Mystic Falls had been going particularly well, especially considering he was unaware of the problems his siblings Rebekah and Elijah were having back in New Orleans.
The original hybrid had spent the day reconnecting with his daughter Hope, meeting a grown-up Josie and hearing their wedding plans which now included him. However, before he returned to New Orleans, he had one last visit to make, a visit to his eldest sibling Freya Mikaelson.
"Freya!" Klaus said with a sense of excitement as he stood in front of his eldest sister, who stood in the garden of her home in Mystic Falls, tending to her flowers with a water can.
"Klaus!" She replied as she dropped the water can and ran over to hug her younger brother, ecstatic to see him alive once again. "Rebekah told me she brought you back, but it was not real until right now!"
"As always you are aging very well!" Klaus complimented his sister Freya after breaking off their hug.
"As always, a little touch of magic goes a long way, also helps I am teaching at Salvatore Boarding School now, so I have access to all kinds of magic to help fight the aging!" Freya admitted to her brother. "I waited until Hope had finished her studies there before deciding to teach which she was very thankful about."
"I cannot believe my sister and my daughter live in Mystic Falls with their own budding families." Klaus confessed to her.
"It is funny how much life quiets down when your little brother is not out there causing enemies on a daily basis." Freya joked with him. "Although Kol is still out there but luckily Davina seems to have him under the thumb these days."
Before Klaus had any more time to question Freya about what she had been up to over the last decade since he had died his phone had began ringing and he quickly answered it, hearing Rebekah's voice straight away, who wasted no time in getting her brother up to speed with the latest escapades back in New Orleans.
"So, dear sister, how do you fancy doing a little spell for me before I am forced to head back to New Orleans early?" Klaus asked Freya after hanging up his phone call to their sister.
"I guess this means our siblings have got themselves into trouble again." Freya guessed correctly.

Meanwhile back in New Orleans, Rebekah and Elijah were waiting outside of the "Welcome to New Orleans" sign standing in front of their black convertible car, awaiting their brother Kol's arrival who decided to lend a helping hand with the current witch situation, leaving Davina and their children back in San Francisco.
Rebekah knew Kol would have a lot to say about Klaus and Elijah's return especially with the Black siblings' involvement in his brothers' return but she knew she could convince him to help her out like she always could plus it helped that Rose also needed help and she could play on their former friendship to get Kol on side.
"I still cannot believe our brother Kol is married with children, here was me believing he would never grow up and he has done what none of us could ever manage and found himself a normal life." Elijah confessed to his sister.
"Trust me Elijah a normal life is overrated, I tried that with Marcel and I really did love him but, in the end, it was not enough." Rebekah replied, speaking about her breakup with Marcel for the first time. "I finally got the picture perfect wedding I always wanted with the guy of my dreams but there was no happily ever after just crashes and burns until I could not take it anymore and just decided to flee."
"You and Marcellus have a rather complicated history it is never really over with the two of you not even Niklaus himself could stand in the way of you two." Elijah told Rebekah, making it clear he did not believe his sister's love story with Marcel was over.
"No, it is different this time, things I want, things I need and things I am going to be just doesn't work with being his wife." Rebekah admitted with a sigh of sadness. "I may have a long time before I get the chance of being human again but when that day comes I want it all; the dreary suburban life, spoiled brats whom I love and are my own and a husband I want to kill every now and then but do not actually because I love him..."
"I see, tell me Rebekah where do your brothers fit into this version of you?" Elijah questioned his sister. "Did you only bring us back, so you were not alone during the wait to be human? Are we just disposable the moment you become human and seek that normal life?"
"Do not get all dramatic on me now Elijah, of course you and Klaus will forever be a part of my life in some shape or form, you two are hard to get rid of and believe it or not but I like it that way...sometimes." Rebekah answered him, reassuring her brother of his importance to her life.
"Well it is just like me to miss the family reunion!" Kol stated, after vamp speeding his way to stand in front of Rebekah and Elijah. "I wonder if our sister Freya is coming along for this trip of nostalgia?"
"Niklaus is in Mystic Falls with her now trying to locate the siblings so we can separate that particularly bloody family reunion, which gives us some time...if little to consider what we are going to do with Henrik." Elijah answered his younger brother.
"He may not look or act like he used to be but he's still our baby brother...the youngest of us all and he has already died once." Rebekah chimed in, feeling a knot in the gut of her stomach, knowing they may have to kill their brother.
"Of course, now he has the hollow in him and has been playing you all like fools, not to mention the whole after life has gone to hell as well..." Kol replied to his siblings. "How exactly are we going to fix that one?"
"I figure first we deal with Henrik and this witch/warlock Magnus, then decide on what to do with Henrik and then we can tackle the ghosts of our past." Elijah answered him. "Not to mention we need to work out whether we are saving Kayne, Rose and or Bella or if we should just so simply kill them all."
"We are not killing Bella and we are most certainly not killing Kayne either!" Rebekah snapped. "They helped bring you back and we have already done too many wrongs to them already."
"Do not forget Rose, after all she is the sole reason, I am helping out with this mess that you yourself created sister." Kol reminded Rebekah before turning to Elijah. "Not that it is not nice to have you among the living again brother but I'd rather the whole of the afterlife did not join you on that journey!"
"I surprisingly agree with you Kol." Elijah replied to him.
"So, how do we go about getting ourselves involved in a witch war with four rather powerful witches and a Mikaelson witch to boot?" Kol wondered, as Rebekah's phone began to ring.
Instead of answering Kol, Rebekah quickly pulled out her phone from her jacket pocket and answered it, immediately hearing Klaus' voice who had details for his sister via their latest foes' location that he got from a locating spell cast by their sister Freya and now that Rebekah had the much needed information it was time for the Mikaelson's to kick their plan into action.

The Hollow had latched itself onto Henrik Mikaelson following Klaus and Elijah's deaths, tricked the Mikaelson brothers that they were in fact Henrik and gave them an afterlife to fit their idea of perfection while it grew closer to them, learning their every weakness while playing the role of a loving brother.
Inadu herself was long gone but her power, the darkness of her aura, remained as strong as ever before and now it had latched itself onto the youngest Mikaelson, Henrik losing himself within the darkness of The Hollow as The Hollow plotted to take out the rest of Henrik's family and then whoever else dared to threaten its power.
"I guess this addition to the family reunion means you have realized my little secret." Henrik said all too smugly with a wicked grin as Elijah, Rebekah and Kol vamp sped into the compound to find Henrik stood by the fountain waiting for them.
"We can help you fight the hollow; we can find a way to destroy this power once and for all." Elijah pleaded with his youngest brother. "Henrik if you are in there somewhere please fight to come through!"
"Oh, I am as much Henrik as I am the hollow now there is no doubt about that." Henrik claimed to his siblings. "Here is the thing both of us want the lot of you to pay...for different reasons of course but vengeance is still strong on both sides."
"What the bloody hell do you want us to pay for Henrik?" Rebekah questioned her brother. "The hollow has clearly warped your mind if you want vengeance against your own siblings."
"I barely spent a decade breathing before I was taken by death, a death in which was permanent for far too long while my family moved on without me!" Henrik shouted furiously at his siblings. "Yet you were all made immortal without so much as a thought about bringing me back and yet the rest of you fought so bloody hard for everyone else but me!"
"You were but a child when you died, we assumed you found peace Henrik." Elijah replied, making it clear he did not mean to hurt his brother. "If we had known otherwise there is nothing, we would not have done to bring you back to us!"
"Here's the thing you did not and while you chose to forget all about me I watched as you used your immortality to torture and massacre the many squandering away any goodness within any of you and yet you all think you can just get some happy ending...one that I deserved!" Henrik argued with Elijah.
"Okay we get it you died young and you're pissed about it but brother you got the lucky end of that deal try spending a 1000 years being daggered whenever you so much as stepped in the wrong direction!" Kol chimed in, stating that nobody there was free from suffering. "Or having an uncontrollable blood lust that never goes away..."
"Or spending 1000 bloody years being hunted by our own father purely because of his hatred which should have been aimed towards our cheating backstabbing bitch of a mother!" Rebekah added to the argument. "So, you died before us well lucky bloody you! You should be thankful you got to escape this wretched existence!"
"We have all suffered many times dear brother, but we remain standing together...you do not have to stand against us Henrik you can still choose to stand with us." Elijah told him, remaining somewhat level-headed in comparison to Kol and Rebekah.
"This has been a thousand years in the making there is no chance of me stepping down until every last one of you get the payback you deserve!" Henrik revealed to them all, making it clear he had no plans of backing down.
"Where are the Black witches?" Kol shouted, determined to find his missing friend. "Where are they Henrik?"
"Home!" Henrik declared cryptically.
