Once again, any person who sees nothing but the best in others, is the key to hope. On a bright and spiritual New Orleans day, the streets sparked with life. No corner of the city spoke of the dirt and grime and torture that unfolded a century prior to the inhabitants of today. Elegance, class, and a little bit of spilt blood made a river underneath the surface, providing life to those unknown to the outside world. Out of a historical plantation house, emerged Niklaus Mikaelsin, the only living hybrid to walk the Earth. He held a power like no other, and the strength that even the strongest of minds couldn't behold. A power that caused him pain with each day, not in his mind, but in his chest. His beating black heart only grew darker with every memory of that God for wretched day.

-flashback-

"Father! Look it! Aiden, he's walking!" A 15 year old Avery Mikaelsin shouts throughout their mansion in Chicago. Her twin brother, Colten, runs out to their father's office, excitement beaming on his face. Meanwhile, Klaus is in a meeting with one of his most trusted, his best friend Marcelus. They were discussing the current conditions of New Orleans, as well as the town Klaus recently made a visit to- Mystic falls. Nonetheless, their meeting was cut short by the news. A smile made way upon Klaus' lips, and he enters the room Avery and Aiden were in. "Av'ry, why had you not come sooner, my dear? You see this kind of future in your mind far before your brother and I." His daughter giggles and shrugs, looking down at her baby brother. Klaus kneels down across from Aiden, and opens his arms to his son. "Come now, Aiden. Come to your father." Aiden squeals with excitement in his babble language before waddling over to Klaus. Colten sits next to their dad, and snickers slightly. "You know I never liked children, but I see the beauty in moments like these. Must make it worth it, huh Father?" Klaus merely nods, and catches his son for his legs gave out from all the new exercise he endured. "It has me finally realizing that even the most broken of souls can have happiness. You all are my happiness." The twins go and hug their dad, tears in the corners of their eyes.

-3 hours later-

The sun burns their skin as the heat drags them from reality. The twins had decided to bring their brother for a stroll in the park by the witches' cemetery. For some reason, the two always felt at most adrenaline around those areas, mainly because their father warned them of the power. That of which, the power they craved to feel only grew more intense with each step closer they got. Aiden's asleep in the carriage, oblivious of the magic that began to coarse itself around them. Sensing something was wrong, Avery stops in place, her instincts ringing danger in her ears. "Colten, I think we need to lea-" She is cut off by a magic barrier slamming into the ground around them- trapping them from leaving the lands. In a panic, Colten calls their father, screaming into the phone for help. Suddenly, their vision goes white, and their skin goes cold. The world around plummets beyond their reach, and soon all that they've known is erased from their lives- replaced by wonder.

The trio hit ground in a mysterious place. One they were soon to find was called Neverland.

~Dream~

Arabella sat in a cell in the Evil Queen's castle. She had been stuck there for some time. She needed to get to her father, or her lover. But she knew she that they were out of her reach, with the curse about to hit. She picked at the door, finally she managed to get open the door. She took the shackles off her neck and wrists. She stretched and started to sneak about the castle. She found her way into the Queen's room, and started looking for a specific item. She found a top hat, "Yes, I am coming Jefferson." She said happily. But it was too late, a purple magic fog washed over her.

~Dream end~

Deanette shot up out of breath. She pulled her legs close to her and stared at the barred door. She was in a place she didn't know , no memory of how she got there. She had been in this place, for what seemed like ages. The dreams she had were of a fantasy, she figured that it was a way to for her to get away. She at least knew her name and age, that was it. "Deanette Gold, age 18." She she recited to herself. "I wish that evil woman would let me out.? She said to herself.

Adria was playing a card game with her older brothers. She laughed and played with them, having a good time. Her father and mother, the king and queen , were in their room, resting after a long day. In ShadowDalee it was the time of the Moon Festival, so her parents were very busy. It was night and her brothers were heading to bed. She followed them and giggled swinging her hand, while holding her oldest brother, Mathius' hand. "I love you brothers, I love you Mathius, I love you Jackson." She smiled at them. "We love you to Ria." They said. They all went to bed.

~A couple of hours later~

Adria awoke from her nightmare. She ran to her brothers room. She climbed in bed with Mathius, hoping that being with him would calm her. She just got comfortable next to him when the window blew open. She skooted closer to him. She screamed when something grabbed her and lifted her into the air. Her brothers awoke, hearing her scream. They saw a shadow figure taking their sister. The shadow flew out the window , taking the girl with it. "We will find you Ria, we promise!" Mathius yelled.

The figure carried her to another place. She watched as they approached an island. The shadow brought her to a small camp. It placed her in front of a tall blonde boy, who resembled her brother Jackson
