Hello! This is a new story about the Originals focusing on Hayley and a new chaaracter I want to introduce named Eden. There will be Hope scenes later on, but for now Hayley, Freya, a little Keelin and this new character Eden. Please fan, favorite, follow and review!

Hayley stood in the living room of the Salvatore house, she was helping Caroline with some administrative work, organizing files upon files of children who were students here, and getting ready for new students coming in the fall. It was mid summer, many students were on vacation with their families or spending time around Mystic Falls, with supervision of course, a town now dedicated to educating the next supernatural generation.

"We have a lot of new students coming in, a lot of children this year." Caroline smiled, she was excited. She had been able to teach a few classes last year, and was set to teach a few more. Hayley had been offered a few classes, and they even extended the offer out to Freya who turned it down because of her investment in finding a solution for their families situation as well as her dedication to her girlfriend.

"I'm glad that the school is doing so well, I don't know what Hope and I would have done without this place." Hayley smiled at her friend, after everything that had happened with the Hollow, Hope and Hayley found refuge within the walls of the Salvatore Mansion. Hope had bonded with a lot of students and made a lot of friends over the years. She was learning a lot, quickly and she was excited about the year to come, this year was going to be a big year for her.

"You both are family now, Hope is such an amazing kid." Hayley thanked her as her phone began to ring in her pocket. She excused herself from the office area and walked out into the backyard to give herself a little bit of privacy. It was Freya calling, and she often only called when she had something big to tell her.

"Hey Freya, what's up?" The woman asked, excited to hear what she had found out. Hayley missed the Mikaelson siblings, she had seen each of them several times throughout the past few years. She took trips to see Elijah who was currently living in Russia once or twice a year, they were able to text on the phone, but Hayley made sure no trace of them could be found through the texting. She had seen Rebekah a few years back who was living a good life in Paris with man candy falling all over her. Niklaus moved around every few years, she had last heard of him from a phone call to her cellphone when he was traveling throughout Southern America.

"I dont want to worry you, but I have a problem." Hayley stopped in her tracks and frowned slightly.

"Problem? Whats wrong? I can be there in a few hours if you need me to be." Hayley spoke. She would drop everything to go and help Freya. Hope was okay here, she had friends and school and family here that took care of her when Freya needed help, or when Hayley helped the supernatural community of Mystic Falls.

"I need you here, nothing's wrong, I'm not in danger, we just have a situation." Hayley agreed to be on her way as soon as she let Hope know, and be there to help with whatever the situation was.

Hayley quickly packed up a small bag, and said goodbye to her daughter who assured her that she would be okay here and that she shouldnt worry about her, but to be careful. Hayley smiled, her girl was so sweet and compassionate, she was so proud of her.

It took two hours to drive from Mystic Falls to New Orleans, and Hayley parked her car on the side of the road a few blocks from the compound and walked towards her old home with her duffel bag in hand.

Arriving at the home, she knock on the door of the gates and Freya answered with a timid smile.

"Come in." In order to insure her and Keelin's safety, she reset the ownership of the house shortly after she allowed any vampires in, it kept the unwanted ones out and allowed them to monitor who could come in and could.

Hayley smiled at the woman and stepped through the threshold of the place she called home for many years. She looked around the courtyard and smiled at the firmilulaties, nothing seemed off so Hayley questioned what the situation could be.

"What is this situation?" Hayley asked as they walked up the stairs towards the bedrooms and living spaces. Freya wrung her hands together and looked down the hall towards a shut bedroom door, looking back at the woman as they entered Hayley's bedroom in the compound.

"This morning someone knocked on the door, which is unusal since we had not planned on having vistors. I called multiple times for whoever it was to open the door, but no one answered so Keelin and I opened it. I expected a vampire, or a dead body atleast, but.." She trailed off slightly as her eyebrows fret together.

"What was there?" Hayley asked, concerned.

"A baby, well not a baby, a little girl, she's about a year old the letter says. It was addressed to you." Hayley's face dropped in confusion, why was there a child being dropped off at her old family home.

"The letter was pinned to her pajamas with a safety pin, with your name on the top of the envelope. I didn't know what to do, so we brought her in. Keelin's with her now." Freya explained quietly.

"I didn't read the note out of respect, it's on the dresser." Hayley walked over and grabbed the package of paper that had been attached to the little girl. Immediately she noticed blood that was sprayed across it like someone had been cut and the blood splattered onto the paperwork.

"She had blood on her when she showed up." Freya spoke quietly, unsure of what to do or say.

Hayley spilled the contents of the envelope onto the bed and frowned, picking up another envelope addressed to her and began reading it.

"Hello Hayley, this is not how I imagined meeting you, but unfortunately it had to happen this way. My name is Alexai, I am your older sister. I was born much before you, we share the same biological mother, but when I was an infant, there was a fire in the home our mother shared with her family. I was inside, and they believed I had died in the fire, but was rescued and raised by a family on the outskirts of Louisiana. I met my husband Drew years ago and we married, and had a baby together. I found out about you a few years after Hope was born, I had tried getting the nerve to come to New Orleans to see you and your daughter, but I always failed to do so. If you are seeing this letter, both myself and Drew have passed on and I instructed a close friend of mine to deliver my daughter to you. Her name is Eden Josephine, she was born on September 11th. If Eden wasn't as supernaturally inclined as she is, I may have considered putting her else where but Eden is not only a powerful witch, she is a currently untriggered werewolf as well.

I am unsure of what you will do from this point forward, but please know I had wanted to introduce myself, my husband and my daughter to you in person, not in this way. The pack Im currently living with, not of my own as I am also a Crescent Wolf, my child is too, has been hunted for years. If you are reading this, it is likely we were killed by the pack that is hunting us.

Please, whatever you do, please make sure my daughter is safe, loved and cared for.

I am sorry,

Alexai."

Hayley frowned, her eyes shooting up at Freya and she took a deep breath. This was a lot to take in so quickly.

"Where is she?" Hayley asked, her voice cracking slightly as she tried to control her emotions.
