GRACE WAS PRACTICALLY SPRINTING THROUGH THE BAYOU, trying to find elijah who wasnt really precise with his location. She just couldn't stop her mind from thinking that Hayley was dead. Elijah said he saw dead wolves, it instantly made her think one of them was Hayley. She hoped that wasnt true. Grace may not be on great terms with her but she would never want death to occur. Grace hears the distant yelling of a man who she assumed to be elijah.
"Elijah, what's going on?" She asks as she finally sets eyes on the man. Elijah just had a frantic expression on his face as he looks around the forest.
"Hayley!" He shouts out, like yelling her name was going to bring her to them. Grace just walks over to him, gripping Elijah's arms to make him stop walking as he held Hope.
"Elijah." Grace says, getting his attention. Elijah meets her gaze and she could see the fear in his eyes. Hayley was nowhere to be found.
"I can't find her. All I found was a truck full of dead wolves." Elijah tells him and Grace only stands there for a moment. She clears her throat, trying to control her heartbeat since it started to rise.
"And you think.." She trails off, not even able to finish her sentence. Grace didn't want to think that way but it was almost impossible to not.
"Let's not jump to conclusions yet. Not until we know for sure." Elijah states, although he was worrying as well, he really couldn't be sure if Hayley was even dead. It was better to have hope than to not.
"Here, I can take Hope." Grace tells him as she gestures to the child. Elijah nods his head, allowing her to take Hope from his arms.
"I didn't mean to frighten you, I just didn't know who else to call." Elijah admits, he didn't want her to worry, he just knew he had to call her. Even if they weren't on the best of terms.
"It's fine, Elijah. I'm glad you did." She replies, rocking Hope in her arms. She would rather Elijah tell her than have him leave him in the dark.
"Where is she?" They hear from behind them causing them to turn. It was Jackson who seemed to be quite hurt as he had a trap around his leg. "Where the hell is Hayley?" Jackson asks them as he breathes heavily. Grace was honestly quite surprised that he was even alive.
"Jackson, oh my god." Grace gasps as she takes over his appearance. She moves over to him, concern evident on her face. Jackson just holds his hand out towards her.
