That night Hope jolted up in bed waking me in the process and said " No, no, no. It's here. The Hollow, it's here." that morning mom said "Girls get ready to go see Grandma Mary." we squealed in excitement and got dressed in this matching outfit today.
I said, "Really Hope?" She said, "Nope I'm not changing." I said, "Well neither am i." She said, "Guess we're matching today." we went to find dad and he was looking into a mirror Hope said "Dad? We're ready to go. Aren't you coming?" dad ignored Hope and went to Uncle Elijah and said, "You need to go to the bayou without me." Elijah said "Why?" dad said "Take Hope and Ember. I'll be right behind you." Elijah said, "Why?" Hope and I looked at each other confused as dad said "My daughter nearly died. I have to make sure the threat to her is over." Elijah said "Not without me you cannot." dad said "Brother, Marcel loathes you most of all. Freya will help me here. I need to know my children are safe. You and Hayley can assure that."
We were walking through a field of flowers, Hope was picking them, I was skipping and spinning around. Mom said, "I do miss it out here." Elijah said "Yeah, looks like you're not alone. You know, we could be happy out here." mom said "I think you might stand out in that suit." Elijah said, "Well, I was thinking jeans, shorts, and flip-flops." mom said "I want to build a life with you, Elijah. With Hope and Ember. I want us to be happy." Elijah said "So we do that. Together. In jean shorts." we got to the cabin door and Hope knocked making Grandma Mary answer. Hope and I exclaimed "Grandma Mary!" she hugged us and said "Well, hello, sweethearts. Oh, my girls. Oh." Hope said "I picked you some flowers." she took the flowers and said "Honey darlings, why don't you run on inside. I need to talk to your mama." we ran inside to play with some toys.
(Hayley's POV)
I finally came back to the house after talking to Elijah and pulled Ember who was yawning onto my lap where she laid her head against my chest and slowly started to fall asleep as I talked to Mary. I said, "Don't do that." Mary said, "Do what?" I said "Blame yourself. You think that if you'd stopped your husband, I would have had a better life." Mary said, "No one deserves what you've been through." I looked down at my sleeping Princess and said "It's because of what I've been through that I have them. They are Mikaelsons and I am a Marshall, but we're all three still Labonairs. Mary, Jackson said that tragedy always followed my family around... Executions, people dying in floods, fires, or just vanishing. What if the Hollow is behind those deaths, too? And if it went after the Labonairs before what if it wants to finish what it started."
Mary said "Then why only Hope and not Ember as well? And where is her bracelet?" I said "I have her bracelet, according to both Hope and Ember, the moment we stepped into New Orleans her bracelet started to itch and eventually burn so she took it off and threw it. I have it on me, but she has tried so hard to hide it from me, but this is what it did to her." I gently lifted her little hand and showed Mary her red and blistered wrist. I sighed and laid her wrist down "The girls keep saying the Hollow doesn't like Ember, but Ember swears her magic and the Hollow's magic feels similar."
