The Mikaelson's had fallen. But there is a huge part of the story that even they were unaware of. A powerful witch who was assisting the ancestors on the other side. Esther Mikaelson was once again conspiring against her children. She no longer wanted to make them human but instead to seek revenge for the harm they had caused her. She decided that she wanted to start up a new coven. One that would be faithful only to her. But to do that she needed a living member of her family to give their blood. Also she needed a host. She resurrected Camille O'Connell with the help of the ancestors. Cami did not know of Esther's involvement. All she knew was that Hayley was also put into an enchanted sleep and that Hope needed to be cared for. She took Hope and fled New Orleans. Esther was not able to carry out her plan with Cami in the wind. But she was patient. After all she had a thousand years to dream up her plan. Her children were going to regret the day they crossed her.

Cami stood in her kitchen and flipped the last pancake onto a plate. She yelled up the stairs.
"Hope! Breakfast!."
Soon a little blonde haired girl came running down the stairs. She looked at Cami and frowned.
"Do I have to go to school?"
"Yes you do."
She set a plate down on the counter and Hope climbed onto a counter stool and picked up her fork. Cami spoke as she poured herself coffee.
"Don't you want to grow up and become a doctor or a lawyer?"
Hope shook her head. "No I just want to play with my baby dolls all day."
Cami rolled her eyes. "Well when I get home from work tonight you and I can go and get you a new doll. How does that sound?"
Hope nodded. She took a huge bite of pancake just as the phone rang. Cami grabbed it and spoke.
"Hello?"
"Hey Miss. Cami."
Cami smiled. "Vincent, how are you?"
"Not bad. I got the serum that you sent and it did nothing."
"Seriously. It took me forever to track that guy down."
"Well we are running out of options and I think we have trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"Marcel has had his nightwalkers following me everywhere I go. And it's not just me. He's had Josh followed too. I think he's getting suspicious."
She groaned. "Great. Well I have one lead to track down but I have to wait a couple of days before going."
"Understood. How is the little cutie?"
Cami smiled and looked over to Hope who was watching cartoons as she ate. "Sassy and independent."
He chuckled. "Sounds like someone else I know."
She smiled to herself. "This time of year is just harder then others."
"Because of them?"
"That and my anniversary of being turned."
"Oh yeah. And you dying."
"Nope that is not until March."
"The first time."
"Well yeah."
"Just hang in there. You're doing everything that you can."
"I know it just...never feels like enough."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Friday rolled around and Cami set some chicken nuggets and fries on the counter for Hope.
"Okay you need to eat fast so we can get to your open house."
She nodded. "Can we get ice cream when it's over?"
"If you get a good report."
"Okay and don't forget the book fair is there."
"You can pick out your books tonight."
Hope finished her dinner and they went to her school. Cami held her hand and Hope led the way to her classroom. When they got to it she smiled at her teacher.
"Hi Mrs. Carson."
Mrs. Carson reminded Cami of a ballerina. She had blonde hair that was usually pulled into a tight bun, long legs, and a long neck. SHe was younger then most teachers at the school. She smiled at them.
"Hello there Miss. Hope. Miss. O'Connell, I am so glad that you made it."
Cami shook her hand. "Hope has been talking about this all week."
"Well she is a great girl. So I hung up the kid's projects for everyone to see and then there are their book reports on their desks."
Cami nodded and looked at Hope. "Lead the way."
Hope grinned and ran over to the bulletin board. She pointed to a picture towards the top.
"That one is mine."
Cami looked. It was a painting of their house with both of them standing out front. Cami kissed Hope's head.
"That is one of your best."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Come see my desk!"
Cami smiled and walked over to a row of desk. Hope grabbed a paper off of hers and handed it over. Cami smiled and read aloud.
"My name is Hope Mikaelson. I am six years old. I was born in New Orleans Louisiana. My favorite color is pink and my favorite animal is a wolf."
Hope smiled. "Is my writing good?"
"It is excellent."
They then made their way into the library where the book fair was set up. They had barely stepped into the room when Hope bumped into another little girl. She had brown hair that was pulled back with a blue ribbon. She sneered at Hope.
"Hope. I didn't know that you were coming?"
Hope made a face. "Why wouldn't I?"
"Well it's parents night and you only have one parent."
Cami's jaw fell open. Hope spoke up.
"My dad is away for work but he will be home soon. Besides," Hope's eyes flickered to the girl's father. "My dad would eat your dad for lunch."
Hope then walked away grinning. Cami smiled.
"Who was that?"
"Audrey Graves."
"She seems like a real brat."
"She is."
Hope picked out what she wanted and they left. On the way home Cami stopped at a local ice cream parlor. She and Hope sat in one of the booths and started eating. Cami glanced at her.
"Are you excited for your sleepover with Macie?"
She nodded. "We're going to make cookies."
"That sounds like fun."
"Are you going to have fun at your work thingy?"
Cami smiled. "Well no. I'm going to be missing you too much."
"You can call me if you need to."
Cami laughed. "Like I tell you to do if you miss me?"
"Exactly."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Cami drove into town and sighed. She never wanted to be back here but she had to be. She approached the gate and punched in the security code before driving into the garage. She shuddered before climbing out of her own car. She looked around. There were three other cars covered with tarps and a thick layer of dust. Cami entered the compound and was greeted by her two friends.
"Josh. Vincent."
They grinned and hugged her. Vincent spoke first.
"Cami O'Connell. Long time no see."
Josh nudged her. "Where's the little one?"
"At a sleepover back home. I didn't want her to find out."
They nodded. Cami looked around the place. It was as if it was going to fall down around her. Vincent caught the look on her face and spoke quickly.
"Lets get to work."
She nodded. They walked up to the attic and Cami paused. The Mikaelson's coffins were lined up. Vincent opened each of them and then sighed.
"So far nothing that we have done has worked and their bites are unchanged."
Josh interrupted. "That paste we got from Brazil turned them purple for a while."
Cami rolled her eyes and started grabbing Freya's spellbooks off the shelf. "Maybe something in here can help."
They all sat down and started reading. Cami learned more about the complexity of witchcraft then she ever thought she would. By sunrise they all looked at eachother. Vincent sighed and tossed Esther's book aside.
"Well that was a bust."
Josh spoke up. "Maybe not. What if the poison is also the cure?"
Cami raised her brows. "Come again?"
"Well the venom from the ten different packs was how they created the poison, well maybe we can use it to also make a cure."
Vincent looked surprised. "That's genius."
Cami nodded. "But how are we going to get it? I mean after what happened with Lucien they aren't going to be all that willing to talk to us let alone give us their venom."
Vincent's smile faltered. "Plus they're hard to come by. Some of the more exclusive packs have hidden themselves."
Cami paced around and then looked at them with wide eyes. "The building where Klaus and Hayley found the wolves. What if they kept samples of the venom?"
Josh nodded. "It's worth a shot."
Vincent's grin returned. "We cut the venom with some potent healing ingredients. Chamomile, white willow bark, ginseng, milk thistle, maybe even some yarrow."
Cami started to get her hopes up. "So we could actually heal them?"
"It's possible."
