Complete story — includes the ending
Five years since the defeat of Klaus and the expulsion of the Mikaelsons from New Orleans, Marcel is the sole vampire king of the city. The witches and vampires are at peace in the Quarter. Vincent is troubled to hear of dark magic symbols appearing throughout the Quarter. Hayley has been travelling the country in search of a cure for the Originals. If she can find venom from all seven packs of New Orleans, she can find a cure to wake Freya, who will then have proper materials to wake the others. This leads Hayley to find the last remaining survivor of a pack, Keelin, who is being hunted by Marcel's men as well. Marcel clashes with an enemy of Klaus', who wants to see to it that Marcel will kill Klaus, rather than leave him captured and Klaus kills him. Klaus, having angered Marcel, is knifed again. Hayley successfully wakes all Originals, however, Freya keeps Keelin captured for later. Maxine's son goes missing, finding himself in an abandoned house with strange symbols on the wall. A blinding blue light appears that calls to him and as he walks towards it a scream is heard. At the same time, Hope awakens from a nightmare and has drawn the symbols in a few papers as seen around town over and over again.
