For the next two days, Jojo and the others didn't take any immediate action and waited for the backup to arrive.
If what Norma said is true, there is a big chance that these disgusting things might be mixed with others in the nearby villages or settlements and live like normal humans.
Or there is a chance the whole family might have been killed and changed into them.
So they stayed at Louis's house until this case might be solved.
After collecting their fee for solving the case for the Louis family, their turned daughter vacated them and asked them not to come back here until they got further notice.
After fixing the broken wall and the glass window temporarily, Jojo and the others stayed there and went to various villages surrounding the forests and the other settlements near to investigate there to find any clues.
During the investigation, they found a shocking truth that few settlements were fully turned after being killed.
In hospitals, police stations, gardeners, cab drivers, etc., many have been turned into slaves after being killed.
Edward helped to distinguish them from normal humans by the disgusting smells they were emitting.
After getting the emergency request for backup coming from Rosalie, others were shocked when they heard the full extent of what was happening in Ludlow.
Everyone in the Cullen family who didn't accompany Jojo earlier immediately left for Ludlow to provide support, except for Kang, Jenny, and Alex, who were normal humans, which is very dangerous for them to participate in.
New Orleans, Mikaelson's Compound...
After succeeding in getting Elijah's memory back, Klaus reunited with his brother and Antoinette.
Even after getting his memories back, Elijah stated he loved her.
"Here, Hope. Your aunt asked me to give this to you and use the spell on the 254th page, and the detailed requirements for changing the sireline before allowing her to meet her mother."
When they came to Mikaelson's compound, Klaus gave the book to Hope and pointed at Antoinette.
"____"
"Where are Jojo and Aunt Freya, Dad?"
Looking at the three people standing before her, not finding Jojo and Aunt Freya in the little group, Hope turned to Klaus and questioned him.
Sigh~
"Oh... it seems like he got some urgent job he needs to attend and your Aunt Freya dumped us and went with him like a teenage girl."
Hearing Hope talking about Jojo and her eyes darting here and there looking for him, Klaus shrugged his shoulders with a sigh.
"____"
"Accompany him? Where?"
Hearing Jojo leave and Freya accompany him, Hope asked confusedly.
"He said some dangerous mission came by and left saying it needs his immediate attention."
Klaus sat on the couch and said, shaking his head.
"____"
Hearing Klaus saying it was a very dangerous mission that Jojo went to complete, Hope looked worried.
"Don't worry, Hope. You have seen how strong he is, right? He will be fine."
Hayley noticed Hope's worry when she heard Jojo go to solve another dangerous case and console her.
Sigh~
"Why do I feel a headache is waiting ahead of me?"
Seeing his daughter feeling worried for the boy before him, Klaus didn't know what to feel about this. But for some reason, he felt irritated, and his right eyebrow twitched each time when he heard the conversation between Hope and Hayley.
After chatting for a bit, Hope prepared to cast the spell on Antoinette as per Freya's instructions before she left.
When the spell hit Antoinette, she fainted, and Hope went into a meditative state sitting still.
Next day...
After a day, the spell succeeded in changing Antoinette's sireline to Hope's to make sure others don't misuse it to make future trouble for Elijah using Antoinette's sireline and also to keep her in check.
When Antoinette became conscious, they allowed her to meet Gertha, who screamed and cursed Antoinette as a traitorous daughter.
Even though Antoinette decided not to support her mother and cut off her ties with her after this, for the last time, she tried to stop her mother from what she was trying to do all this time.
Snort~
Hearing Antoinette ask her to not continue the further conflict with the original family, Gertha snorted in disdain taunted Antoinette and declared all the hybrids must die to maintain the natural balance.
Sigh~
With a sigh, Antoinette gave up. She knew her mother wouldn't change her ways, but for the last time, she wanted to convince her to give up her beliefs.
"Let's just kill her... keeping her alive is very dangerous for us."
Seeing Gertha cursing him and his daughter, Klaus's eyes narrowed, and he walked towards Gertha with narrowed eyes, emitting killing intent.
"Come on, I don't care... you all should be elim..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Klaus ripped Gertha's head off her neck in one swift motion.
"____"
"____"
"____"
Everyone present looked at Klaus, who killed Gertha and slowly turned towards them.
"What???"
"Did she think declaring she wants to hurt your Hope and wants to live another second? Not in my presence."
With an offended look on his face, Klaus declared, pointing his finger at Gertha's headless body.
Suddenly there were a few seconds of silence.
Ring... ring...
Ring... ring...
The silence was broken by the ringtone of Hope's mobile phone. Seeing her mobile was the one ringing.
"Oh~ it's Aunt Freya."
Hope attended the call, noticing the one who was calling was her Aunt Freya in the caller ID.
"____"
While talking, Hope's face changed from darker to brighter, and her face was brimming with a happy smile.
"I will come there immediately, Aunt."
With clear joy visible on her face, she turned to look at others who were looking at her weirdly.
Hehe~
"It seems like Jojo needs our help there. So we need to go."
Eagerly, Hope explained to everyone in the room.
"____"
"No... it's dangerous. I won't allow it, Hope."
Hearing Hope wanted to go to a dangerous place for a guy she just met, Klaus's anger flared up and snapped at her.
"No... I will."
Looking at her father's reaction, Hope snapped back at him with an irritated look.
"I said I won't allow you to go there, Hope. I am doing this for your good. Didn't you guys say he is solid? Then he will be fine."
Klaus, not giving up, tried to convince Hope even though irritation was visible in his tone.
He could feel the deep affection in Hope's tone whenever she mentioned him.
"I will... I will go there. You can't stop me, Dad. Otherwise..."
Seeing her father trying to stop her from going to help Jojo made Hope very angry, which was visible on her face, and she argued back.
Ring... ring...
Hayley's mobile started to ring, making them stop bickering, and Hayley looked at the caller ID.
Sigh~
"It's Freya."
With a sigh, the argument between father and daughter came to a halt. Hayley attended the call.
After the call, Hayley turned to others who were looking at Hope and Klaus, who were looking at each other with narrowed eyes while tension was building between them.
"It seemed like they were going to face an army of 1,000, so they summoned all the other members of the DMC for support. So Freya called us if we were interested in going there for some fight and a new experience."
Hayley fully explained to everyone, which Hope didn't since she was fully excited.
"See, it's very dangerous... so you are not allowed to go there."
Hearing Hayley telling about the situation clearly on Freya's side, Klaus stood firm in his decision.
"No... I will go there."
Hope started walking towards her room while declaring to pack her things to go there.
"____"
"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.
"____"
Seeing the broken vase, Hayley's eye twitched. Just today she bought one, and here it was shattered into pieces by Klaus.
"What to do, brother? Don't forget you are her father."
Rebekah, with a grin, taunted Klaus, whose face turned ugly seeing his sweet sister teasing him, indicating Hope got the trait from him.
