By the time the group got back to the school, they found Caroline, Lizzie, Josie, Alaric, and Moira's family waiting for them. The twins looked at Moira warily, Caroline looked relieved but the glance she shot Moira's way told the brunette that she was concerned, and Alaric, well, he had his crossbow in hand, which was at his side. Moira ignored the Forbes-Saltzman Family and ran over to her Family, and rolled her eyes at the way Alaric tensed up
"How much trouble are Mom and I in?"Moira asked, looking at Amenadiel, who had crossed his arms as he glanced from the Mikaelson trio to Moira.
"None. Your Father, for once, took full responsibly."Amenadiel stated, surprising Moira.
"Seriously?"Moira asked, wide eyes.
"Yes, Sweet Maiden Child, he did."
"For the last time, stop calling My Princess of Hell a Maiden Child, she's a Devil-Spawn for crying out loud."Maze snapped, turning her attention to Amenadiel.
"No, she's a Angel, that makes her a Maiden Child."Amenadiel argued.
Moira groaned under her breath when the two started arguing and looked at her Sister and Cousin, who looked amused."Shut up."
"I didn't say anything, Little Cousin."Charlie said, still looking amused.
"Me neither, Baby Sis."Trixie added, chuckling.
"Sweet Maiden Child?"Hope asked, raising an eyebrow in amusement at Moira.
"Don't ask."Moira, Charlie, and Trixie said in unison.
"Amenadiel, Maze, enough!"Chloe said, getting in between them."For the last time, they are just nicknames."Chloe said, glaring at them and they looked back at her sheepishly.
"She certainly deserves to be the Devil's Wife if she can make an Angel and a Demon look sheepish."Klaus said in a low voice to his Brother, Alaric, and Caroline, who all nodded, eyes wide as Chloe turned to them."So..."
The moment the group got back to New Orleans, Moira decided that she wanted to stay the night at Hope's place. Chloe, still wary of Elijah and Klaus, went over with it with them and they happily agreed, seeing as Hope was glaring at her Father and Uncle, daring them to say no after the Nephilim, the Devil's Daughter, basically saved Klaus' life by Moira summoning her Father, which ended up in them revealing their Family Secret. Well, the truth of whether Heaven and Hell existed or not.
So Moira and Hope were in Hope's room while Klaus and Elijah were telling their Family what happened."The Devil actually exists!?"Davina choked out, eyes wide.
"And he has a Family? A Mortal Family?"Rebekah questioned her Brothers.
"No. Ms. Decker told us that she stopped ageing after she gave birth to Moira. She's Immortal, as is her eldest Daughter, Beatrice, I believe."
"Don't let Trixie hear you call her by her full name."Moira said as she walked pass the living room and paused when everyone, except Klaus and Elijah, jumped and looked at her."Maze taught her how to torture people, Human or Supernatural, and the only people who get away with calling her by her name is Mom, Dad, Aunt Linda, and Uncle Amen."She stated before sighing and shaking her head at them all being quiet."Just give them a warning and they act like I'm gonna chop their bloody heads off. I'm not Maze."Moira muttered under her breath but everyone heard her."Honestly, the Devil isn't Evil, he just punishes Evil. Everyone just mistakes him for the bad guy just because of one rebellion that made him the Lord of Hell."
"Mia, what's taking you so long!"Hope exclaimed as she came around the corner.
"Nothing. Just thinking."Moira said and darted over to Hope's side, letting the auburn haired Tribrid lead her upstairs.
"Lovely. Now she thinks you're all afraid of the poor girl."Elijah said, shaking his head.
"Well, why wouldn't we, Elijah? Her Father-Her Father saved Hope's and Niklaus' lives, Freya!"Elijah cut Freya off with a sharp and dangerous tone.
"She's right, the Devil isn't Evil, he just punishes Evil."Klaus added, shaking his head."We may have met him briefly, Sisters, Brother, but all he seems to care about, is his Family, not doing what the bloody bible says. You and Keelin have known Moira the longest, Freya. Has she ever shown any bad intentions towards anyone?"Klaus questioned Freya, who had gone silent and shook her head."No, I didn't think so. Keelin?"Keelin looked down at her lap, ashamed."Hmm, that's what I thought."He stated before Vamp-Speeding away to his art studio while Elijah left to check up on the girls.
"Hey, Elijah."Hope, who was in her winter sleepwear, said, catching sight of her Uncle standing in the doorway from her spot in front of the canvas that she was painting of her Family. Moira, who was wearing a black silk top and shorts, was sitting on Hope's bed, had been drawing in a sketch book but looked up at Elijah the moment Hope greeted him.
"Good evening Hope, Miss. Decker-Morningstar?"He said questionably to Moira, who giggled and nodded.
"Yeah, it's a real mouthful. You can just call me Moira, if you want."Moira said dismissively."Did you need something?"She asked when she noticed that he was eyeing her.
"I merely wished to make sure you were all right."Elijah said calmly and Moira chuckled weakly.
"I'm fine. It's not like I wouldn't expect for something like that to happen. I mean, it's normal."
"It's not."Elijah retorted sharply and Hope and Moira blinked, looking from one another to Elijah in surprise."It's not normal to react in such a way. Freya nor Keelin should have reacted that way when they've basically known you your whole life. Besides that, neither of them, no,"Elijah shook his head as he stepped into the room, walking towards Moira."no one should in my Family should have to judge you badly for what is said about your Father, or what he has supposedly done in the past and about you when our Family"Elijah glanced at Hope then back at Moira."have done worse crimes to all of those around us while you've done nothing but be born from a Mortal woman and a Divine Being who just happens to be the Lord of Hell."Moira and Hope could only stare at the Original dubbed as the Noble Stag in pure shock and surprise.
"Thank you."Moira said softly as she looked down at the drawing. It was of her Dad, with his Devil Face and Wings on."Thank you for saying that, Elijah. At least you don't think my Dad is bad or evil."She muttered
"Well, we don't actually know anything about the Devil, other then what has been said in the bible and I've always believed that it was filled with rubbish."Elijah said as he sat down on the desk chair.
"Don't judge a book by its' cover or in this case, by it's pages."Hope chirped as she put the paint brush down and came over to the bed, sitting down next to Moira."What is your Dad like, anyways?"Hope asked curiously.
"Well, for one thing, he does have a temper, one that can rival your Dad's."Both girls laughed while Elijah smirked."Uh... He..."Moira trailed off, laughing while Hope and Elijah looked at her curiously, wondering what she was laughing about."Dad loves his alcohol. He loves Bourbon, Whiskey, Jamaican Amber, Rum, and Cognac Brandy."Moira said, chuckling.
"What's so funny about his tastes in alcohol exactly?"Hope asked, wanting to know what was so funny.
"Remember my tenth Birthday and Mom stopped us from eating the Angel Food Cake?"Hope paused to remember that day while Elijah's eyes widened.
"Oh dear..."Elijah mumbled as Hope's eyes widened.
"He didn't."Hope gasped.
"He did."Moira said, giggling."Too bad for him, he had a little too much to drink after that and told Mom."Both girls ended up in a fit of giggles while Elijah shook his head but paused when he noticed his Siblings, and In-Laws, standing in the doorway, trying to cover up their own laughter or tried to look stern but were failing miserably.
"How did he even manage to do that?"Hope asked after calming down.
"Oh, Uncle Amen has a talent for baking and cooking."Hope nodded, now understanding how Lucifer managed to spike the Birthday Cake."If Charlie, Trixie, and I weren't Immortal or Nephilims, we'd have been fat by now."Moira said, smirking.
