Hope and Evelyn were reading books after books trying to figure out how to safe Haley." This reading is killing me" Evie said "there's nothing important here that could help us" Hope said frustrated. There was a knock on the door and Hope opened it. It was Freya.

"W-What happened?" Hope asked concern in her voice."Uh, oh, no, nothing. Uh, no, your... your father has search parties scouring every inch of the city. We'll find her" Freya answered.
"I just... When I saw you, I thought that she... yeah. So, wait, if she's still missing, then why are you here?" Hope asked.
"Care package. Thought you could use a taste of home"Freya said holding a bag."So you drove all this way to bring me beignets?" "Oh I love beignets" Evie said standing up and taking one."You know, I figured with everything going on, you could use a friend other than Evie" Freya said."Thanks, but we're really fine" Hope said

"Mm-hmm. You know, I could be wrong, but, um, I think this is the part where you invite me in" Freya said"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah" Hope said grabbing one of the beignets and giving it to Evie since she finished hers. Evie mouthed a thank you to Hope."Locator spells in ancient languages? Thought you weren't allowed to do magic outside of the classroom" Freya said. "Catch-up reading. I'm trying to make up for being suspended" Hope said. "Mm-hmm" "keep our grades up. We got to get back to work, aunt Freya" Hope said "group project" Evie said."Sure. Sure, I mean, I could just leave after an excruciating 11-hour drive to see my only niece and her best friend. Or... we could get comfy, stuff our faces with deep-fried glory, and you could tell me about that cute boy you had hidden in your room last week" Freya said "seriously like why?" Evie asked very angry that his the center of topic which Freya smiled." Looks like someone is jealous" Freya said "I'm not his just annoying" Evie lied she was very jealous "sure" was all Freya said.

They were outside and students are playing a game of shirts and skins soccer. A witch student uses his telekinesis to hold the ball in midair, though Roman head butts it into the goal."So, which one is he?"Freya asked.
"The hot one that sweats diamond dust" Hope said and Roman waves hi to Hope but she doesn't wave back while Evie rolls her eyes and Freya smiled at her reaction."Oh, God. Keep-keep walking" Hope said "Wait, you're not gonna wave back?" Freya asked "No, pretty sure, uh, his ego can handle it"

"Hey, so... that stuff you were studying earlier. Alchemy of the Iberian Peninsula? Magic of the Middle East?" Freya asked"I'm examining regional magic as it relates to sociopolitical and economic statuses" Hope said "So, what exactly are the sociopolitical implications of breaking powerful cloaking spells?" Freya asked."What do you want me to say? My mom's missing" Hope said"Trying to break every possible spell in those books with just you two would take a thousand years" Freya stated."This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you. And guess what? You and the witches haven't gotten anywhere. I'm coming at it from a different angle" Hope said."Okay" Freya said."I'm the one that put the cloaking spell on her in the first place. Maybe I can find a way to lift it without being in the room with her" Hope said Evie felt bad that she couldn't use magic to help Hope."And the fact that that's never been done in the history of witchcraft isn't going to deter you" Freya said"I can't just sit around and do nothing" Hope answered."All right, then. Let's get to work" Freya said

"Pretty. In a creepy, don't get caught alone here at night kind of way" Freya said which Evie chuckled too."The Saltzman twins found it, like, two years ago. Pretty sure it's their evil Mean Girl lair" Hope said "Hey their not that bad" Evie said."Or they share their father's love for the bottle. All right. You want to find your mom, I got to start with how she was taken in the first place" Freya said dropping the bottle."I already told you, I don't know. Someone followed us" Hope said."Or there was a problem with your cloaking spell. Maybe you missed a step... left a loophole open" Freya suggested "No, of course I didn't" Hope said."Fine. You guys were followed. Then we retrace every step you took. A deconstructing spell will magnify that the cup of blood in each bowl will give us that" Freya said.

"I know how it works, aunt Freya" Hope said cutting her palm. It took everything in Evie not to stop it."Don't stop" Freya said"Dammit" Hope said has her palm was healing."It wasn't enough" Freya said "I wonder why?" Evie stated."It's healing faster than I'm bleeding. Maybe you shouldn't have picked a spell that involved me bleeding out. Which you knew couldn't happen. You don't want to do this spell" Hope said "took you long enough" Evie said."Not particularly, no" Freya answered "Why?" Both girls asked.
"Because it isn't going to work. If there was even a chance of it working, don't you think one of the hundred powerful New Orleans witches would have thought of it by now?" Freya stated
"Then why are we wasting time? There's something you're not telling me" Hope confronted her. "Vincent and Ivy think they've learned something. About you" Freya said.

"So I'm, like, cursed? Predicted to be the downfall of what, my family? New Orleans? The world?" Hope asked confused."I... I have no idea. But you deserve to know what's going on. And we both need to prepare for the possibility that... things might not work out the way we want them to" Freya told them."You mean for my mom to die?" Hope asked holding Evie's hand tighter "For what happens inside of you any time tragedy strikes. For when your emotions are tested in ways you couldn't even imagine" Freya said "How can anyone prepare for that?" Hope asked."You aren't just anyone, Hope. You're a firstborn Mikaelson witch with... a terrifying amount of power, even without the darkness that your family is keeping you away from." Freya said."So, what? I'm so sensitive, everyone's afraid I'm just gonna flip out?" Hope asked.

"Well, when people like you and me flip out, entire villages can burn. Look... I know what it's like to have your family thrust you into a situation where the world is on your shoulders and... you're not at all sure if you have the strength to carry it." Freya explained."And how's that working for you?" Hope asked"Not well. It's why I'm not with the woman I love" Freya said."So then why don't you just... go back and deal with that and leave me to go try and find my mother" Hope said standing up"Hope, stop" Freya and Evie called."Why? So you can keep stalling me?" Hope asked "You can't shut down, or it'll eat you up inside" Freya said "Leave me alone" Hope said."Hope..." Freya called "Hope you need to calm down" Evie said taking a step closer to Hope"I said leave me alone!" Hope shouted burning a small part of Evie's hand making her wince in pain"Hope! Stop it! Are you ready to talk now" Freya said as she looked at Evie's hand and Hope's eyes were on the person she cared about the most hurt because of her.

"Is your hand okay? I'm sorry" Hope said regret in her eyes." It's fine thanks to my werewolf abilities it will be as good as new" Evie said reassuring Hope. "So I might end the world" Hope said "Hope Mikaelson the destroyer of worlds and her awesome right hand the muscles Evelyn" Evie said. "Muscles? Last time I checked I was stronger than you" Hope said "wait I don't remember are you sure" Evie said when they heard a cough it was Freya who had a big smile on her face."I'm sorry... for exploding like that" Hope said "No. You shouldn't be. Look, you didn't ask for any of this. You didn't start it" Freya said."But I'm the end of it. Right? One way or another? So what do we do now?" Hope asked
