A/N: Since the last season of the beloved Originals come to the end; I have decided to continue this fanfic. I hope you all enjoy. Please review.

Weeks passed, and Hope tried to keep her head up despite the disappearance of Coryna and Wyatt, but at the same time the hole they left was starting to become overwhelming. Everyone was gathered at the Mikaelson compound trying to map strategies in how to defeat their growing number of enemies. In the mist of move the metaphorical puzzle pieces Jasper shot up suddenly.

"Hope upstairs." Jasper commanded.

"Jace, what's going on?"

"I said Now Hope!" He commanded once more and Hope scurried upstairs. Klaus was about to express his ferocity on how Jasper just spoke to Hope, but before he could Jasper turn around in anticipation of that very conversation "Someone's coming, and something tells me they are not here to become our allies."

In that moment everyone stood upright, preparing themselves for who would be walking through those doors.

No one was prepared for what they saw. A woman with strong features and wicked eyes walked towards them, but it wasn't her who shocked them, it was the two who stood behind her. Hope who was hiding behind the banisters felt her heart drop a thousand times over by the sight. She closed her eyes, wishing that once she opened them again it would all go away. No luck. She looked down at Jasper and saw his eyes close for a moment then open again then she switched over to THEM.

Something was off. Coryna and Wyatt looked the same but didn't at the same time. There was a coldness to them, especially Coryna, which was strange because to Hope she was the most maternal and kind person she new so to se her like this, it scared her.

The woman with the wicked eye who was realized to be Dahlia, began to speak "I must admit, I am amused at the idea that any of you are any match for me. So amused that I will grant you one act of mercy, give me what is owed to me and you all can continue to live your miserable lives."

"We have nothing of yours." Jasper stated.

"Ahh, but you do. I want that child you are trying so hard to keep from me. I will give you 24 hours to present her to me and if you don't I will be your ruin."

Jasper turned to look at Coryna "How could you do this to us? We were your family."

"You are no family of mine, none of you are. I am where I was always meant to be." Coryna said coldly. "I know my role in this fight maybe you need to be reminded of what yours is.

And with that they all turned to leave, as they did Wyatt looked up and saw Hope then quickly turned to walk away with Coryna and Dahlia.

Dahlia, Coryna, and Wyatt returned to Dahlia's layer "Do you think they will abide?"

"If they do agree its best to believe they have another motive then to give us what you desire." Coryna answered Dahlia.

"Leave us Wyatt, I need to speak to your wife alone."

"Yes, Ma'am" Wyatt nodded and walked away.

"I can never understand how a powerful witch like yourself can lower yourself to marry a human."

"He is good at supplying me with information of my enemies. It's like having my own personal chameleon." Coryna responded

"You are very wise. In time you will be able to enhance your skill set and the four of us will be a force to be reckoned with."

"The four of us. I am assuming you mean yourself, myself, and the child, but who is the fourth?"

"In time you will met the other member of our small coven, you just need to have a little patience." Dahlia grinned wickedly.

Later that night, Coryna returned to her and Wyatt's room. "What did she want to speak to you about?" Wyatt asked.

"Owning my power, why I keep you around" Coryna chuckled a little, but then her face turns serious "There is more going on then we know. We must be careful."

"Maybe we should leave and just take what we know."

"We can't, and you know that, but I need you to do something for me."

"Anything"

"I'm starting to get comfortable here" Coryna started and took a moment to search for the right words to explain "It's as if there is this darkness inside of me and ever since we have gotten to New Orleans, this darkness started to spread. I'm terrified that I may turn back into the person I used to be…."

"Is this about seeing Elijah? Working with Dahlia? The whole Blue Moon thing?" Wyatt asked concerned.

"That's the problem I don't know. Wyatt, I need you to promise me you will make sure I remain me. If I become Her again, I will be a danger to us all."
