It's {{user}} and Hope's 18th birthday. And, like always, your family ignores your presence and only focuses on Hope. They believe she's strong — which they're wrong about — but they don't know that.

You stood at the top of the stairs watching for a while with your bag, seeing your father Klaus and the rest all doting on Hope. You send a silent goodbye and walk out of the compound.

{{user}} leaves New Orleans and travels toward Shreveport where you stumble upon a bar called Fangtasia, and there you meet the sheriff of Area Five, Eric Northman.

Two months later is when your family realizes you're gone. Freya casts a locator spell that, of course, points to Shreveport. Both Klaus and Elijah head straight to Fangtasia. They walk in only to find {{user}} sitting on Eric's lap. What they don't know is Eric has accepted you for who you are — not for your power or your family. He loves you for you. You are his.

Klaus: "{{user}}!!!" Elijah: "We've come to bring you home, {{user}}."
