The Hallow

Voodoo In my Blood

Hope is standing in the hallway looking at a brown table. In the center of the table is the jawbone. Around the jawbone is a white powder circle. The jawbone is turning.

"Hope, what's going on?" Amanda says as she walks in the room." Zack says you are being weird."

"Exact words were possessed." Zack says as he stands to the left of Amanda.

"Mom? Can you hear them, too?" Hope says and Amanda grabs her arm and pulls her close to her. She kneels and looks at Hope. Klaus, Niko and Miranda walk in laughing. The moment Klaus looks at Amanda and sees the concern on her face he immediately gets concerned.

"What's going on?" Klaus says.

"Baby look at me. Tell me what you heard."

"Voice's. They said that we're connected to this. You and me." Amanda looks at Klaus.

"If this fossil has been whispering lies, I'll gladly throw it in the river."

"No. Not the bone. The witches. The ancestors. They have a message for us." Hope looks up at the ceiling.

"Did they write the message on the ceiling?" Niko says and Miranda smacked him in the head.

"A warning."

"They me what they said." Amanda says as she looks back at Hope.

"They want you to go there St. Anne's church to talk to them. They said you have to do exactly what they say, and you have to do it now. Before the Hollow comes for us." Hope looks back at the bone.

Ric walks out the convenience store on his phone.

"You need to relax. I'm on my way to New Orleans right now and I have good news. I went through the remains of the Lockwood estate, and I found you one creepy ass, ancient finger bone." Ric says as he reaches into his pocket pulls out a ziplock bag with the finger bone in it.

" Your efforts are appreciate it. Now, if you can only pick up the pace."  Klaus says over the phone.

"Easy, Klaus. the only reason I'm heading your way is because I don't want you anywhere near Mystic falls. Things tend to get murder-y when you're around. Plus I wanna see Amanda and the kids."

"Well, that's a fair point. Now, Alaric, if our pleasantries have run their course...."

"Oh, hey, listen, one more thing the lockwoods, they didn't just safeguard the bone they kept records with names, dates and locations. Turns out they had knowledge of other families that were charged with guarding the rest of the remains. Now, does the name Labonair mean anything to you?"

"It's familiar, yeah."

"Well, Good. That might be able to help you find the rest of the remains. Which you'll have to do yourself, because my days are fighting monsters are over. Okay, so here's the deal I will be at Jack's BBQ shack off route 59 until 2:00. If you're not there by 2:10, I checked the bone and the record football and record in a dumpster and I'm gone. And then you can fish them out of the trash yourself."

"Well, I'm afraid I'll be authorized occupied, so you'll be meeting elijah. And if, per chance, he's running late, I suggest you exercise some patience and have yourself a beer. Otherwise, you'll have a few more monsters to worry about." The phone line went dead

Amanda is walking towards the door when Elijah walks over.

"Don't go." He says.

"The whole point of you going to Vincent was to get the ancestors on our side. Find the bones, stop the hollow from getting her body back..."

"Why are you doing this?"
