When Mikael appeared in 1919 to hunt down his children, burning even the smallest corner of New Orleans, and they were all forced to ran away. The Mikaelsons, being who they are, could not risk their father following them, so they decided to flee without looking back, leaving a small part of the family to their fate.
Marcellus and Nikole, who had been treated as members of the Mikaelson family, were abandoned in that theatre; however, Niklaus did not leave without first leaving a small gift for the girl he also called "the love of his life" once. To be more specific: A spell that would not let her return to the city, nor be near the original family.
After almost a century under that curse after that devastating night, Nikole finally breaks it and returns, willing to face those she once called family, especially the man who once loved more than her own life.
