Adela's Dream

Adela is in the village she grew up in sitting in the front her cottage, she was holding a baby around a year old in her arms. Her baby, Adela knew this was dream but it felt like a memory. She saw a woman come up to her, she didn't look friendly. 

ADELA: Who are you? [She said clutching her baby protectively]

WOMAN: I'm sorry but it's her decree.

ADELA: Excuse me.

WOMAN: [coming close to her] You won't remember any of this.

[Adela felt someone grab her from behind as the woman took her baby]

ADELA: NO!

[She tried to scream and fight but the person but there hand over her mouth, as the woman took her baby. her vision became blurry. The person behind her but there fingers on her temples and mutter something.]

[That's when Adela woke up screaming, and Hope in the same room started crying. Elijah and Rebekah came running into the room, worried and confused. Adela standing up and picks up Hope and Hope stops crying]

ELIJAH: Adela are you ok?

ADELA: Yeah I'm fine just weird dream, that kind of felt real... but could have been.

[Elijah is sitting on the porch with Hope, who is sitting in a baby seat. Adela is sitting next to them. In the yard, Rebekah is setting up firewood]

REBEKAH: It's alright, Elijah. She won't break. Everything you did was in the name of protecting her. I'm not worried.

[Elijah picks up Hope and holds her]

ELIJAH: [to Hope] Hi, sweetheart.

[Adela and Elijah finally notices that Rebekah is setting up for a fire and looks at her in confusion]

ADELA: Is that what I think it is?

[Rebekah walks back toward Elijah, Adela and Hope and smiles happily]

REBEKAH: It's bonfire season! And I am reviving a family tradition! Especially since we're all going to be together.ELIJAH: Only because we're fleeing from one of our deranged parents.
ADELA: Another Mikaelson tradition. It's a peculiar thing-- never to be tired, yet forever exhausted by the sameness of things. Why is our family always at war?

[Rebekah smiles and touches Hope's hand]

REBEKAH: I don't know. But, being away with her made me see things differently.

[She lowers her voice as she gently talks to both Hope, Adela and Elijah]

REBEKAH: We're not so bad. We're not the monsters that our parents think we are.

[Suddenly, Klaus and Hayley's black SUV speeds down the driveway, and Klaus doesn't even get the chance to park before Hayley rushes out of the car and sprints toward Adela, Rebekah, Elijah and her daughter. She stops in her tracks as soon as she sees Hope, as though she can't believe her eyes. Adela, Rebekah and Elijah all smile at her as Klaus catches up with them, and Adela wastes no time handing a smiling Hope to Hayley]

HAYLEY: [to Hope] Hi!

[Hayley hugs Hope tightly and breathes a sigh of relief. Behind her, Klaus is near tears and too overwhelmed to move. Hayley, unable to meet Elijah's eye, turns so Klaus can see his daughter as well. Hope coos happily, and Klaus and Hayley both laugh as they smother her with kisses]
