AN: I hope that you all liked the last chapter. I know that I may have gave Torran an nickname that belongs to another character. My friend read it knew that instantly. I wanted Torran to be able to trust her uncle no matter what. I hope everyone likes it and please remember to review.

Chapter 2: Meet the Family

When the plane landed in New Orleans, the sun had already risen high in the sky. Lissa did not like how bright the sun was here compared to other parts of the US. Rose reminded the princess that they were in the south and that the sun would be brighter.

Elijah smiled as he listened to the girls argue. He turned to his daughter who had fallen back asleep in his arms. The Original knew that she was exhausted from changing from wolf to human form. Klaus smiled as well as he opened the car door for the girls. They quickly climbed in back and scooted over for Elijah to set Torran down.

"Buckle up, we'll be at the house in a half hour." He smiled, his blue eyes sparkling mischievously.

Elijah smiled as he got in and pulled his cell phone out. He had to make sure that Torran's room was set up for her to sleep.

Meanwhile, Rebekah was busy overseeing the rooms. Lissa and Rose's room was finished, down to the designer sneakers for her wear for work outs. But her nieces room on the other hand had become a disaster. She had to completely throw out the bed after the contractors got plaster all over it. It took Finn, Kol and Marcel to keep her from ripping off his head.

Suddenly, her phone began to ring. She looked down in horror to see Elijah's name on her screen. She was already upset that she was unable to keep he promise.

"Hello big brother, what can I do for you." Rebekah said, trying to sound chipper. "Are the rooms ready?" He asked, "Torran changed again just before sun rise this morning and is completely drained."

Rebekah sank to the small stool at the foot of Lissa's bed. She could not believe that happened. She understood that when Klaus did, he was tired, but not that weak.

"Is she alright?" Rebekah asked, as Hayley and Freya came in. "Yes, she is just extremely exhausted. Klaus was able to talk her down. I hated every minute of watching her change…I have never felt so helpless… I knew there was nothing I could do to stop it either." Elijah said, sounding sad.

Rebekah was silent as she listened. She did not even want to know how bad it was for her. She was more upset to tell him that her nieces room was not finished.

"Her friends' room is done…her room was mucked up by the contractor…he completely ruined her bed and I had to toss it in the rubbish bin." Rebekah said.

Elijah sighed as they turned in to the French Quarter. He was hoping that he could give her a space that was all her own again.

"It's alright, I'll put her in my room till it's finished…I haven't been staying there any way." Elijah said, causing Klaus to laugh. "Alright, I'll have the bed changed and fresh sheets…the room should be finished in two days…isn't that just in time for her birthday?" Rebekah asked. "Almost…Vasilissa's birthday is in two days." Elijah said, making the teen look up. "Well, then she will definitely have it by her's…we probably should do something for her friend though…after all you said they were raised as sisters mostly." Rebekah said. "True…we are almost at the house; we'll see you soon." Elijah said. "Alright…I'll tell the others." Rebekah said. "Rebekah…don't overdo things…Torran does not know about all of you…though it seems she trusts Klaus to an extent." Elijah said. "Alright, why don't you wait till she wakes up to introduce the family…besides, you will have you hands full with the other two." Rebekah said as she hung up. "Don't I know." He said, hanging up.

"Everything alright?" Klaus asked. "No…Torran's room is not finished and Rebekah is upset over it." Elijah said, looking at his brother. "What happened, it should have been done?" Klaus asked, looking at his brother. "The contractor ruined the bed by getting plaster everywhere." Elijah told him. Klaus began to laugh when he heard that. "Poor thing." He chuckled.

"Is everything alright, Mr. Mikaelson?" Lissa asked. "Yes…I just called my sister to make sure your rooms were ready…Torran's is a bit behind schedule, but you and Rose's suite is finished." Elijah told him "Wait suite…how did you know we were coming…Tori didn't even tell us where we were going?" Rose asked.

"Your teacher called Elijah…she has known about what Torran was for a long time, just like she knew about you two." Klaus said.

Rose and Lissa stared at each other for a moment as the car stopped. They looked outside to see a massive house. They were shocked to know this is where Torran's father lived. Torran always returned to the Dragomir's house with her and Rose at the end of the school year. When they were younger they would all share a room.

"Whoa…did she know this is where we would be staying?" Rose asked as she stepped out. "No…she just knew we would be in New Orleans…she knew where she would hide you till I found you." Elijah replied. "Which would have been where?" Lissa asked, as Klaus opened her door. "A bar that I opened years ago…it is a safe haven for all mythical creatures to your world." He told her. "It also doubles as a hotel for weary travelers." Elijah told her, "When you three gotten there, she would have someone send a message to let me know that you all arrived safe and to come get her."

Rose nodded, knowing that her friend must always be thinking about the closest escape route for Lissa. She was glad to know that she was not the only one.

"Whoa, she has a better escape plan than me…see told you, Lissa, we'll keep ya safe." Rose teased, earning chuckles from Klaus and Elijah.

As the group approached the front door, it opened to reveal two blonde haired women and one dark haired. They all looked at the sleeping teen in Elijah's arms. They all noticed that he was worried about her all by the look in his eyes. He cradled her closer to him as he walked up to the front door.

Freya, Rebekah and Hayley looked at him. They all knew what happened and were worried about how she was going to handle her when she wakes up.

"Welcome home…good lord, she looks terrible." Rebekah said, looking at the dark circles under her eyes. "She phased out about again…but she did protect her friends and teacher while in wolf form." Klaus said, looking at his sisters.

"What did she protect them from?" Freya asked. "Strigoi, they are a different type of vampire, most of them use to moiri, but turned while feeding…all three types descend from mine and Aya's lines." Elijah said, looking at his sister.

"Wait…does that make us sisters in a really strange way?" Rose asked, looking at the original.

Elijah grinned to himself, not having thought of that before. He was not shocked for Rose to pick up on that at all. She was smart as a whip and knew it.

"I suppose it would…while not by blood, you are the only siblings my daughter has ever known." Elijah said. "Well, you know that I am on only child; Lissa, she needs all the friends she can get because she has no more family…she is the last of the Dragomirs." Rose said. "I know…Lissa, what kind of cake do you want for your birthday?" Elijah asked.

Lissa turned to him and smiled. She had completely forgot that it was her birthday in a few days. As did Rose; when her and Torran made the decision to get Lissa away from the academy, it had been while they were talking about what to get Lissa for her birthday.

"Uhm…chocolate…I have not really thought of it." Lissa replied, making Elijah and Klaus laugh. "Don't worry, Princess, after all you girls have had a rough few years." Klaus smiled as Finn and Kol came into the room.

First thing the girls noticed was that Kol looked like the younger version of Elijah and Finn. He was so excited as he came into the room, but the smile quickly faded as he seen his niece unconscious in her father's arms. Finn did as well as he noticed that Lissa and Rose looked just as tired as Torran.

"Rebekah told us…is she alright?" Finn asked taking the duffle bags that Klaus put on the floor. "Yes, exhausted, but alright. It is nothing a little rest won't fix. From what she and the girls have told us, a classmate, someone rather close to them slipped wolf's bane into her water bottle during practice. However, Torran did not drink from it until later." Elijah said, adjusting his hold on Torran.

"Bloody hell, who would do that?" Kol asked, his brown eyes growing darker.

"Whoever wants Lissa dead." Rose said, making Kol look at her.

"Why would anyone want an orphan dead, no offense?" He asked, looking at her. "The reason might surprise you." Lissa replied. "And that is?" Finn asked.

"Lissa is a princess and is the last of her family line…in fact, I did some digging. The Dragomir line can be trace directly back to me…I promised her father that if something were to happen to him, that I would protect her no matter what. Just as he would protect Torran should something happen to me." Elijah told them.

The group just stood there for a moment taking all this in. They had come to terms that Hope was the only miracle baby in the family. But now it seems that there were two. Hope and Torran were special to the family.

"Well, now that we've been brought up to speed on that, how would you girls like to get clean up?" Rebekah said, noticing that the girls were all in pajamas.

Rose and Lissa nodded with enthusiasm that made the men chuckle. They all could tell that meant a definite yes.

"Alright then, oh and Lissa, once you've cleaned up, there are some blood bags in the fridge…Elijah told us that you might need it." Rebekah said, as she began to lead the girls upstairs. "Thank you…does Torran know that you all know about her?" Lissa replied. "No, none of us knew she existed until last night…Elijah, the sheets and blanket are clean…there is also some things for her in the bathroom when she wakes up…I was not sure what size she would be so I got some of my clothes for now." Rebekah added.

"Thank you…girls, I leave you in the hands of my sister…I promised your father that I would look after you and I have never broken a promise yet." Elijah told them.

Lissa and Rose smiled at him and nodded. To Rose, he was the only person who was like a father to her. He was the one person who was be there when even her mom wasn't.

"Thank you, Mr. Mikaelson, for everything." Rose told him, giving him a true smile. "It is nothing Rose." He smiled.

With that, Rebekah opened the door to the girls' room and showed them around. Elijah could hear the excited laughter of the girls as he entered his own room.

When he looked up, he saw Hayley standing there with a concerned look. She was looking at how tired the girl was, remembering how scared she was when she first changed.

"How is she?" Hayley asked, as she drew down the blankets. "I'm not entirely sure…she was scared when she changed again. She looked like she was in immense pain, but still all she cared about was protecting Lissa." Elijah told her. "Sounds like her father." Hayley teased. "Unfortunately…she is like me" He grinned back. "How long do you think she'll be out?" She asked. "Sometime this afternoon she should wake up. She has been sleeping for a few hours now." Elijah replied, setting her down and covering her with the blanket.

Elijah leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. The teen curled into his blanket and smiled in her sleep, relaxing. She could smell the cologne that clung to the fabric of the pillow and blankets. Torran had always felt calm whenever he was around, so naturally she had calmed when she had been placed in the bed.

Hayley smiled as she watched the pair. It reminded her of Klaus and Hope. She would wake up in the middle of the night to find him cradling her close, just staring at her in wonder.

"Did you give her the bracelet?" Hayley asked. "No, I will leave it for her on the night stand." He replied, staring at the gold velvet box with a bow and name tag on it. "You aren't going to tell her, are you?" Hayley asked, staring at him. "No, not right away. I don't want to hurt her or make her feel like I hate that part of her." Elijah replied, looking at her.

Hayley smiled at him as she walked over to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling at him. He was everything she ever dreamed of. Elijah kissed her lips as she melted against him.

"I love you…when we first met and you talked about how Hope would make us family, I would have never imagined it meant this. You made me believe in love again." Hayley told him, "And as for you having to use a charm to train Torran, I do not think that she will be made that you did not tell her. At first, I hated the fact that I was a wolf, I did not want to be one. Give her time." "I will, I would like nothing more than to never see her in that kind of pain or position ever again, but I know that she will be and I won't always be there to stop it either." Elijah told her.

Meanwhile downstairs, Freya, Klaus, Kol and Finn all sat in the living room, watching Hope play in the floor. She had crawled over to Finn, and stood up against his leg, trying to get him to pick her up. He smiled, lifting the little one into his arms.

"What caused her to turn?" Kol asked, looking at his brother.

Klaus sighed, remembering the fear in her eyes as her arm began to snap into the strange position. She had no idea what was happening and wanted him to make it stop.

"The strigoi had come into the air field. Torran spotted it as the girls were walking over to us. She looked at Elijah then at the monster. He and I rushed over and got the girls on the plane. I came back over to stand with her, noticing she was not going to leave her teacher unprotected." Klaus said, looking at them, "When it got close enough, she threw a kick and knocked him back a good bit and warned him not to touch any of them."

"Then she began to change, did she not" Finn asked as the toddler began to play with his watch. "Yes, she looked utterly terrified. It seems that Rose and Lissa never knew that she changed while at the academy thanks to her teacher. Torran was given mother's book. She knows how to use it, but I suspect that she does not have a care for being a witch…she wants to protect her friends at whatever cost. Elijah told me that the academy trains her and Rose on how to be guardians to the moiri, but with how they act today, with the exception of Lissa, I don't want my niece guarding moiri who only view her as a weapon." Klaus replied.

They all were silent as Rebekah, Hayley and the girls came into the room. They all had changed and Lissa had fed. Rose was finishing a protein bar and put the wrapper in her pocket.

"Feel human again?" Klaus teased

Rose smirked at him, knowing that she was not going to the only smart ass in the room. Lissa smiled as well, knowing exactly what he meant.

"Yes, so where is Tori?" Rose replied, noticing that Elijah and her were missing.

"Her father's room, sleeping. He wanted to be there when she woke up." Hayley said, making the girls turn to look at her. "Did he know about her being part werewolf?" Lissa asked.

"Yes, he wanted to protect her…our aunt was not a rather nice person and she wanted to the first born child of each of us in order for her to be the strongest witch there ever was." Finn said, making the girls stare. "What would she have done to Tori if she had her." Rose asked.

Freya smiled sadly, knowing exactly what she would have done. She knew because she lived with it for over a thousand years. She would have never forgiven herself if either of her nieces suffered the same fate.

"Dahlia would have bonded herself to both girls so that she could channel them for her magic. Some of her spells would have killed her or Hope." Freya said.

"No offense, but she sounds like a bitch." Rose said, earning a smile from Klaus. "She was a bitch…she is dead now." Rebekah said, watching Rose and Lissa visibly relax. "Good because, I do not know what I would have done without her or Rose during the last year." Lissa replied. "She is like her father in that aspect, Elijah has always put other's happiness before his." Finn smiled.

Rose snorted when she heard that. While she agreed that she was like her father in that manner, she was anything but quiet. She seen firsthand how much her friend had a mischievous streak.

"You disagree, Miss Hathaway." Klaus asked. "Yeah, trust me when I say she is hardly anything like Elijah…if it wasn't for the fact I have known him since kindergarten, I would question who her father was with half the pranks and crap she pulls." Rose replied. "Such as?" Klaus said.

"Ooh, maybe you should not tell him that one." Lissa said, knowing exactly what incident Rose was thinking of. "What, I still defend her on that…Elijah had spent over a thousand dollars for that perm." Rose replied.

That comment got all the adults in the room interested. They all wanted to know what she did. Kol grinned as he downed his glass of scotch.

"What did my lovely niece do that was so mean?" He grinned.

"She put a royal's head in the toilet and flushed." Rose replied.

Klaus and Kol laughed so hard they each had tears coming from their eyes. Freya, Rebekah, Finn and Hayley were too stunned to say anything. That was the complete opposite of what they expected.

"Bloody hell, she sounds more like me or you, Nik." Kol laughed, as his brother nodded. "Told you…Kirova was too shocked to say anything…Camille Conta's parents were pissed." Rose laughed.

"But don't forget Elijah, Rose…He was just as angry that Tori was punished for defending herself." Lissa replied. "True…man was he pissed…I do not think I have ever seen the headmistress so terrified in my life…any who, after Elijah had a chat with Miss K…Torran got off without any detention and Camille got a month' s worth of after school detention." Rose replied.

This had Kol and Klaus laughing again. They all knew how intimidating Elijah could be. He also could quite ruthless when it came to protecting the ones he loves.

"Now that sounds like Elijah, did he at least talk to her about not doing that again?" Finn asked, now recovered from the shock. "Yeah, she promised not to do that particular thing again, but if someone started with her again, she was going to retaliate." Rose replied. "But, that definitely sounds like Nik." Rebekah sighed.

A few hours later, storm clouds began to roll in over New Orleans. The original could smell the rain coming in the air. Elijah resorted to siting in a chair next to the bed where his daughter slept. He knew that she was beginning to wake up due to the increased amount of tossing and turning. Torran was a restless sleeper and would often roll him out of bed when she was a toddler.

Suddenly, thunder roared across the sky as lightening lit up the room. Elijah reached over and light the oil lamp on the table next to him. He smiled when he heard the small sound of annoyance from the bed.

He looked over to see two blue eyes staring at him with a mixture of annoyance and love. Elijah set the book down and walked over to the bed, sitting next to her. Torran scooted over enough to lay her head on his chest as another rumble of thunder filled the room.

"Tell Thor to stop fighting his brother, please?" Torran asked. Elijah chuckled as he kissed her head and held her close. "I shall remember to do so next time I see them." Elijah replied, smiling at the memory of when she first said that as a child. "What time is it…I feel like I slept all day?" Torran asked. "You have, it's nearly six'o'clock…would you like to get up?" Elijah asked. "Yeah, are Rose and Lissa alright…" Torran asked as Elijah stood. "They are fine…you aunts and uncles have been with them all day." Elijah said, making Torran look at him. "Okay…wait, aunts and uncles?" Torran asked. "You met, your uncle, Niklaus this morning… then there is your other to uncles, Kol and Finn and your aunts, Rebekah and Freya." Elijah replied.

Torran nodded as she processed the information. Elijah had kept it from her to protect her. He did not want Daliah or Mikael to find her and take her from him.

"I didn't tell you because of the threat your grandfather and great aunt posed to you when you were a newborn. I could not have them take you away from me…you are the most precious thing in the world to me." Elijah said, picking up the box on the night stand. "I understand…what is that?" She asked, as he handed her the box. "A present…one that I think you will find helpful in the days to come." Elijah said, hinting at her changes. Torran looked at him a look of relief in her blue eyes.

Torran opened the box to see a gold, diamond and ruby bracelet. She gasped when she seen how beautiful it was. She did not even want know where her father got it from. Elijah smiled, knowing she loved it all by the look on her face.

"Thank you, papa…it's beautiful." She said, hugging him. "You're very welcome…now you have to be careful with it…this was made around the time of Queen Elizabeth's reign." Elijah told her.

Torran choked on her breath when he told her that as he helped her put it on. She knew it was old, but not that old.

"Good lord…is it safe to wear in the shower?" Torran asked. "Probably not…besides you can't shower in this weather…all the plumbing is copper." He told her. "Grrr…alright" Torran sighed. "But, your aunt left some of her things in the bathroom for you to use until we get your room finished…" Elijah said, "And your duffle bag is in the closet…I'll be right here waiting while you change." "Alright…thank you papa…I don't know how you knew that we were coming here, but thank you." Torran said. "Torran, I would have came if you called…however, I understand that whoever caused your wolf side to be triggered is also the same one who is after Lissa. I swore to your mother and her parents that I would do all I could to protect you girls." Elijah said, placing his hands on both her cheeks, "And like I said before, you are the most precious thing in the world to me." "I love you, papa." Torran said, as he hugged her close. "I love you more, Little Thunder." He replied, making her smile.

The teen stood and stretched for the first time since she changed. She cringed when she raised her arms over her head. She loved the fact she was not a giant hairy dog anymore. But her arm hurt and all she wanted to do was to soak in a really hot bath.

She walked over to the closet and picked up her duffle and headed to the bathroom. She closed the door behind her and changed. Elijah walked back over to the chair and picked his book back up.

Suddenly a knock caught his attention. He told the person to come in. He smiled when he seen, Klaus standing there with Hope in his arms. He knew how much his brother loved his daughter.

"Evening brother, where is the little wolf?" Klaus asked, sitting in the bed. "The bathroom changing…she seemed rather annoyed that she could not shower till after the storm passes." Elijah smiled. "Ah…Rose and Lissa do not seem to fond of the storm themselves." Klaus laughed. "She loves them…you're forgetting that her name translates to the Norse god of Thunder." Elijah replied.

Thunder shook the house again, causing the tiny baby in Klaus' arms to fuss. Hope did not like the storms at all. The two men smiled softly as Klaus cradled her close.

The bathroom door opened to reveal a very tired looking Torran. Although she slept all day, she still looked wiped. Klaus smiled, noticing for the first time that she looked like a mix of his brother and Rebekah when they were her age. She also had similar personality traits to Rebekah as well.

Torran wore the borrowed track suit pants and a clean tank top from Rebekah. She was glad to know she wore similar sizes to someone in the house. She also felt more comfortable in the pants then in jean or the skirts of her uniforms for school. She also pulled her long curls into a messy up do to get it off her neck and out of her face.

"Ah…I see the little wolf has awakened." Klaus smiled.

Torran looked up to see him sitting on the bed holding a baby. She smiled, guessing that she must be Klaus' daughter.

"Yeah…so is New Orleans always like this?" Torran asked, pointing to the raging storm. "In the summers, yes…now, how would you like to meet the rest of the family?" He replied. "Yeah…I know this is a really random question, but how do we keep strigoi out of the house…they don't follow the same rules as other vampires.?" Torran said, just remembering something Guardian Alto said. "We'll worry about that later…for now if any vampire attempts to enter this house uninvited aside from Marcel and Cami, I'll kill them personally." Klaus growled, his eyes taking a protective glare. "Good." She smiled, "I need some coffee."

Both Klaus and Elijah laughed as they walked out of the room. Rose and Lissa sat in the foyer playing card with Kol and Rebekah. Currently, Lissa was winning. She seemed to have a certain ability to play card games really well. It drove Rose and Torran insane. Rose because she hated to lose and Torran because she was the strategist of the group.

Torran could not help the giggle the escaped her lips as she watched Rose slam her card down in aggravation. She enjoyed seeing the smug look on Lissa's face.

"Damn, seriously Lissa! How do you do that?" Rose whined, making the group at the table laugh. "Oh don't be a sore loser, Rose." Lissa teased as Rose glared.

Rebekah and Kol laughed as footsteps filled the room. A soft laugh filled the area as three new voices filled the room. They looked up to see Klaus and Elijah standing there with Torran. They smiled, noticing how much she was like her father. But she did not have the baggage that they all carried. Her like Hope was innocent of everything that had happened.

"Evening, brother. I see you finally decided to share." Kol smirked, earning an eye roll from Elijah. "Yes, she finally woke up, Kol, I did not push her to get up." Elijah replied. "Whatever you say…so tell me, Torran, what is it like becoming a wolf?" Kol smirked.

Torran glared at him, not enjoying the thought of changing. Rebekah reached over and cuffed his ear, making him whine. Rebekah turned to her with a soft smile.

"You'll have to forgive Kol, your uncle does not have a filter, I'm afraid." Rebekah said.

Torran smiled back, looking at them with amusement. She instantly knew that she was going to get along with her.

"That makes two of us, I'm afraid." Torran smirked, looking at younger original. "Well, if you are up for any pranking, then we'll get along fabulously." Kol smirked, causing Torran to groan with embarrassment.

"You two did not tell them that, did you?" She asked, looking at Rose and Lissa. "Well, kind of…they kept saying you were quiet." Rose replied.

Torran began to laugh as Hayley, Freya and Finn came in the room. That was probably the funniest thing she heard in weeks.

"Me quiet…that doesn't even happen when papa is around. The only time you find me quiet is when I am really pissed off." Torran replied, "On the other hand, it's probably a good thing that we are not at the academy right now." "Why?" Lissa asked, "…you didn't?"

Torran grinned innocently at her best friend. Rose stared confused for a moment before running over to Torran and hugging her. She could not believe she managed to pull off the best prank she did yet.

"How the hell did you manage to pull that off?" Rose exclaimed as the teen grinned. "With extreme planning and waiting." Torran replied. "You know; your dad should have named you Athena instead of the female version of Thor." Rose teased. "Still both were pretty kick ass, Rosie." Torran replied, earning a swipe from Rose.

"Do I even what to know what you did, Torran?" Elijah asked. "Probably not." The three teens said in unison. "Why does that not surprise me." The original muttered.

"Then it is probably a good thing you can't get grey hair." Freya said as the others entered the room.

Torran and Elijah looked over at them with smiles. Torran had often told him the same thing when she felt like being smart with him. Elijah would always mumble how thankful he was of that fact.

"Yes, thank you for that reminder sister. I am beginning to wonder if keeping her and Kol under the same roof is a good thing. Someone will end up with unnatural hair color by the end of the month." Elijah replied, making Torran laugh.

"Brother, I think that you are only giving her ideas." Finn said, watching the impish grin form on her face. "Believe me, she already has them…the question is who her next victim will be." Elijah teased.

"I don't know why you're so worried, I only prank people who aggravate me to no end…like a certain guardian at the academy." Torran replied. "Yeah…she only does it out of retaliation." Rose replied.

Hayley smiled over at Elijah as she walked over to Hope and Klaus. She finally felt that this place was where she belonged. The baby smiled over at her mother as she reached out for her to take her. Elijah smiled as his daughter took everything around her.

Torran and the girls fit right in with the others. Finn walked over to Elijah who stood on the outside of the group. He knew what his brother was thinking and agreed.

"They will be safe here. I know that at some point they have to return to the academy, but they are safest here." Finn said, voicing his brother's thoughts. "I know…the one thing that bothers me is that prophecy that Freya found. If they were to return…Torran will become one of us and I do not know if I could handle that. She is my little girl…should she suffer the same fate as us, then I have failed her as a father." Elijah said, looking at Finn. "I do not think that will happen. Even if it does, she will be like Nik. He is the best person to help her. But I think that it would be wise to tell Jackson of her existence as well. She has a right to know her mother's people as well." Finn told him. "Agreed. I want to wait till after their birthdays to do that. The last thing she need is to have the added stress of training right now. They all could use some down time, for now." Elijah told him. "Good." Finn said.

Just then, lightning struck outside on the street, just outside the house. The entire house shook as the thunder roared. Rose, Lissa and Hope all screamed while the others jumped. They had all been caught off guard by the thunder. Afterwards, Torran ran over to the large bay window to see a smoking tree branch laying in the road. She had a huge grin on her face.

"That was freaking epic." She exclaimed, much to Rose's displeasure. "Speak for yourself…I hate thunderstorms. They are too loud." She whined. "Yes, I have to agree with Rose. They are rather loud." Rebekah said, "We can't cook right now and you girls have to eat something. Especially Torran."

"We can always order something. That way if the power goes out, dinner will be ready." Kol suggested. "He is right, the last time it stormed this bad, power was out all night." Freya said.

The girls turned to Elijah, Klaus and Finn. They all knew that they sort of controlled the money to some degree. The teens did not care what they ate, just as long as dinner was made.

"Why not, after all it is a special occasion." Klaus smiled. "I agree, do you all have something in mind?" Elijah asked.

"I don't care as long as I eat soon…I haven't eaten since six Thursday morning at dinner." Torran replied.

All the adults in the room turned to her with shock. That explained why she was exhausted after changing. With her wolf side being triggered, Torran's body needed more calories than most.

"Alright, how about Chinese, that way everyone can get what they want and no one complains." Elijah said.

Everyone agreed and decided on what they wanted. It would be the first dinner with their entire family together, without having someone trying to kill them or takeover the city.

It seemed things were finally looking up for the Mikaelson family. They all were together and stronger than ever. With the addition of the girls, they had finally begun to heal from centuries old wounds.

The family settled in the living room with dinner and put on a movie. The girls were horrified to know that none of them had ever heard of the Avengers or any other marvel movie. With a little persuasion form the girls they had started the movie marathon with the first of the movies.

Torran looked around the room at one point and realized that this is what family is supposed to look like. Lissa and Rose caught her stare and smiled as the three friends finally relaxed for the first time since the accident.

Torran was finally home.

AN: Sorry it has taken so long to get the chapter done. I hope that everyone will like this chapter and please remember to review. I will try to get the next chapter up with in the next two weeks. *only character I own is Torran*
