THE COMPOUND WAS disarrayed after the heavy storm that had blown through the Quarter the previous night after Hope had taken the Hollow's power from the Mikaelson siblings and while everyone in the French Quarter went on with their day like usual, Hope's effort had not gone unrewarded.
She had succeeded in taking the Hollow from her father, aunt and uncles and didn't have to suffer from the pain of missing her father anymore. Klaus had moved back into the compound, wanting to be there for his daughter while Elijah was regaining his memories, not that the Tribrid cared much after the part her uncle played in her mother's death.
And now, seeing the Mikaelsons were no longer forced to separate to different ends of the world and could finally be a family again, Evelyn and Lucien had finally decided to continue their wedding plans after all this time which Rebekah was very excited about seeing she could finally start planning the dream wedding of her sister and let's just say, in a few hours the blonde had almost planned everything out already.
''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.'' Klaus began as he sat at the head of the large dining table that was filled with various different breakfast foods. ''The consequences of us being together were grave, but today....'' The Hybrid turned to his left side where Hope was sitting with a smile placed on her face. ''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.'' Klaus smiled as he raised his glass. ''Always and forever.'' Hope returned it with a smile on her own, raising her own glass as Freya, Evelyn and Lucien copied them from across the table.
As the five of them toasted to start a new beginning, everything seemed to feel right in the world again, other than the missing member of the family and of course, the bloody spirit of the Hollow that was still alive. ''Auntie Eve, can you please pass the beignets?'' Hope asked after she put her glass down on the table, smiling warmly at her aunt, obviously feeling better as she was back to her old self.
Evelyn smiled. ''Of course.'' She answered softly as she handed the tray of beignets over to her niece which the Tribrid responded on with a nod as a 'thank you'. ''So, Rebekah will be back in a few days. She's just tying up some loose ends overseas.'' Klaus announced, informing the others as he ate the fruit of his plate.
''It'll be nice to have her here.'' Hope said happily as she was glad to have her other aunt back as well. ''It'll be good to have all of us under one roof again.'' Freya added joyfully, happy to have all her family back together again.
