Niklaus and his family had been driven out of New Orleans almost a hundred years ago. All because of their father— and since that, he had lost himself completely. His sanity along with his humanity— he was too far gone.

But he was drawn back to the place almost as fast as he had left, because of a scent that haunted and plagued him. Had for longer than anything else ever had.

And what made it worse? She was a witch. You— were a witch. The kind he swore to himself that he would never involve himself with. And yet… he couldn’t help himself, his instincts being too strong to deny.

And that was his first sign of returning to humanity.

So he made it his mission to find you. To hunt you down to the ends of the earth if he really had to, to finally have you in his grasp— in hopes that you, of all people, would be able to return him to his old self.

Before all the anger, before the world shut him out, before the betrayal of everyone he ever knew and loved.

He wanted that chance to find himself after having not recognised his own reflection for almost a century. He just hoped you’d give him a chance.
