Klaus walked down the stairs in the Abattoir and called out for Hope and Evelyn, "Hope? Evelyn?" Klaus stopped in front of a mirror and looked in it with an almost terrified look. What he was seeing was terrifying to him,but he would never admit that out loud of course.

"Today,you will die at the hands of Marcel. Unless,you kill your enemy first." He heard Mikael say in the mirror. Then,he noticed someone walk behind him in the mirror. However,when he turned he saw nothing. Klaus walked under the stairs and looked,only he still didn't see anything.

Hope and Evelyn walked out in front of him, "Uncle Klaus? We're ready to go." Evelyn said to him softly.

"Aren't you coming?" Hope asked him,Klaus looked down at the two girls with a blank look on his face and nodded. A little while later,Klaus and Elijah were walking through the compound.

"You need to go to the bayou without me." Klaus said to Elijah,Elijah glancing over at him in confusion.

"Why?" Elijah asked.

"Take Hope and Evelyn. I'll be right behind you." Klaus said,dodging the question.

"Why?" Elijah asked again.

"My daughter and my niece nearly died. I have to make sure the threat to them is over." Klaus finally replied. Even thinking about what the two had gone through made him so angry. No one could hurt the two most important people in the world to him and get away with it alive.

"Not without me you cannot. My daughter almost died too Niklaus." Elijah said,the two stopped walking and stared each other head on.

"Brother,Marcel loathes you most of all. Freya will help me here. I need to know the two of them are safe. You and Hayley can assure that." Klaus said,walking off before his brother could reply.

Hope,Evelyn,Elijah and Hayley walked through the a field of flowers. They were on their way to Mary's house and the two young girls were excited. They hadn't seen Mary in awhile and they were ready to see her again. Hope and Evelyn stopped every once in awhile to pick up some flowers. When they finally got to the house,Hope and Evelyn rushed to the door to knock. Mary opening the door with a wide grin.

"Grandma Mary!" Hope and Evelyn called out excitedly.

"Well,hello,sweethearts." Mary bent down to give the two girls a hug. "Oh,my girls. Oh."

"We picked you some flowers." Evelyn said,holding out the flowers so Mary could take them.

"Honeys,darlings,why don't you run on inside. I need to talk to your mama." Mary said. The two girls nodding and running inside.

"A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds." Hope and Evelyn were in what looked like a child's bedroom. It was old and there were cobwebs all over the place. Hope and Evelyn were sitting in front of a chest,reading a poem they had found. "And when the weeds begin to crawl,it's like a bird upon the wall. And when the bird away does fly,it's like an eagle in the sky. And when the sky begins to roar,it's like a lion at the door. And when the door begins to crack... it's like a stick across your back. And when your back begins to smart, it's like a knife inside your heart. And when your heart begins to bleed,you're dead and dead and dead indeed."
