Chapter 84: We, The Mikaelson Family?

Seeing Hope was determined to join Jojo and Freya in the battle, Klaus felt helpless.

"Fuck!!! Why the fuck is she so stubborn... Last time I visited her, she wasn't like this."

Klaus cursed, breaking the flower vase on the table in anger.

"____"

Seeing the broken vase, Hayley's eye twitched. She had just bought it today, and now it was shattered to pieces by Klaus.

"What to do, brother? Don't forget you are her father."

Rebekah, with a grin, taunted Klaus, whose face turned sour as he realized his sweet sister was teasing him, hinting that Hope inherited her stubbornness from him.

"____"

Rebekah couldn't help but find amusement in seeing her brother, who always gave their siblings headaches, now suffering from his own medicine.

"Shut up, Rebekah. This is not the time for jokes."

Klaus snapped at his sister, annoyed by her smirk.

"Calm down... Klaus."

Seeing Klaus shout at Rebekah, who was teasing him, Marcel stepped between them.

Sigh~

"Don't overreact, Klaus. Don't underestimate the bond Hope shares with Jojo. If something happens to him, according to Freya..."

Noticing that Klaus was not backing down, Hayley stepped forward and tried to explain to Klaus as gently as possible.

"____"

"____"

"____"

Everyone's eyes fell on Hayley, waiting for her explanation.

"What happens if something happens to him?"

Klaus asked, looking at Hayley, confused about what she was trying to convey about his daughter.

Gulp~

"Hope will go crazy if something happens to him. So, if you have any funny ideas, forget them. You don't want Hope to lose her mind."

When Klaus heard that Hope would go crazy, his eyes showed conflicting emotions.

"Why?"

He couldn't fathom why Hope would go mad over someone she met so recently.

"It's because of the mate bond... It's like a soul bond between loved ones."

Seeing Klaus's face turn grim at her words, Hayley tried her best to explain.

After hearing Hayley's full explanation, Klaus sat on the couch with a defeated look on his face, gritting his teeth.

Thud~ Thud~

Everyone's attention was drawn to the stairs where Hope was dragging a big suitcase full of her belongings.

"Hope, what are you doing?"

Seeing Hope coming down the stairs with a fully packed suitcase, Hayley moved towards her, asking in a firm tone.

"Uh~"

"Mom... I packed my things so we can leave as soon as possible."

Hope said with a smile, answering her mother's question.

Sigh~

"Hope, you don't need to carry this much, you know. We're going to a battle, not to stay there permanently, are we..."

Looking at her daughter with a sigh, Hayley calmly stated, massaging her forehead in stress.

"____"

Whistle~ Whistle~

"Ah... I thought we could take a detour after the battle to visit Forks. I heard it's a beautiful place."

Avoiding her mother's eyes, Hope stated with a worried smile, trying to act normal.

In Ludlow, Maine...

Jojo and the others were currently looking at a whiteboard where the number 28 was written in large red letters.

After all their efforts, they managed to take down 28 converted ones they had identified and had a chance to eliminate.

However, they had not yet touched those with families or in settlements to avoid alerting them.

Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Edythe, Jasper, and Jess arrived two days after receiving an emergency call from Rosalie regarding Jojo issuing the summons.

When they arrived, Jojo explained the plan they had devised.

"Let's start our plan tonight."

Jojo's eyes swept through everyone present in the room with a serious expression.

"No matter who it is, you need to eliminate them because they are not the same people they used to be. So don't hesitate—go for the kill."

Seeing everyone listening with serious expressions, Jojo reiterated his advice to avoid any unwanted doubts in their minds.

Finally, his eyes settled on the old man, Jud, who stayed behind despite Jojo asking him to leave.

Jud stated he wanted to stay and help in any way he could because it was his responsibility to protect ordinary humans from the converted ones from the land beyond the Pet Sematary.

Vroom... Vroom...

Suddenly, they heard cars parking outside the Louis house where they were staying.

"It's my family. I'll go."

Freya went outside, opening the door, knowing who had arrived from the sound of the cars.

When Freya stepped out of the house, she was greeted by Hope, who exited the first car and hugged her.

After Hope, Hayley and Klaus exited the car, with Klaus's face looking darker.

Following them, Elijah, Antoinette, Kol, Rebekah, and Marcel stepped out of the two cars behind them.

After Hayley, everyone greeted Freya with a hug, while Marcel looked around curiously.

"Aunt Freya... Where's Jojo?"

Seeing that Jojo hadn't appeared, Hope asked worriedly, looking around.

Even though she felt excited when she first heard she was going to fight alongside him, as time passed, she started to feel anxious.

Despite Jojo's strength, he was up against 1,000 enemies, and now that she was here, she felt even more uneasy not seeing him.

"Calm down, Hope. He's inside, strategizing with his colleagues."

Looking at Hope, who was beginning to panic, Freya calmed her down and pointed to the door.

"____"

Seeing this, Klaus felt like someone was stabbing him in the heart.

Knock... Knock...

With a happy nod, Hope skipped to the door and knocked.

"Come in."

Hearing the knock, Jojo invited her in.

"Surprise."

Opening the door, Hope jumped in with a wide smile, causing Jojo to smile and shake his head.

After Hope went inside, Freya and the others began chatting.

"What's the reason you summoned all of us here, Freya?"

Rebekah asked curiously, even though she had heard from Hayley that the enemy was nearly 1,000 strong.

"Well, this might give you all an insight into another side of this world that we haven't had much knowledge about."

Nodding at Rebekah's question, Freya stated her reason.

"Something even we don't know about? We, the Mikaelson family?"

Elijah raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Due to their longevity, they had come across various forms of knowledge and were considered myths in many places.

After nodding her head with a serious expression, Freya began explaining everything that had happened and what was going on in this land.

Hearing the full story from her, those who had just arrived became curious and listened intently.

"Fake resurrection, huh..."

Thinking about the intriguing topic, they all entered the house.

When they entered, they were greeted by Jojo, who introduced the Cullens to them.
