Hope wasn't used to this universe where apparently her family never existed. Magic was real but not her family. Where and when had the Malivore dumped her out? She went to Mystic Falls only to find out it also didn't exist. Luckily New Orleans did exist and she went there to see for sure if her family didn't exist here. The New Orleans she found was very different than the one she grew up in.... Magic-wise at least. On her travels, she did hear whispers about a school for those who were different. Maybe she could go there and rest for a while before figuring out her next moves. She'd fallen into the Malivore rather badly injured. Patching herself up should've been her first priority but she had to find her family first. So now she made her way to New York and the county of Westchester.
