Adalyn and the twins were moved to a safe house as the others dealt with Dahlia, Adalyn was just updated on what was going on which caused her to go to inform Hayley and Jackson as she was hiding out with them.

"Good news, Dahlia still doesn't know that we're here. Bad news? She's given us until tomorrow night, and then she's coming for Hope and Henry," Adalyn spoke as she walked into the room

"Well, I say we get the hell out of here," Jackson stated as he stood up

"Look, Jack, I wanna go as much as you do but think. Freya said that Dahlia was drawn to their magic and no matter how far we go, she's still gonna be able to track us," Hayley tried to convince her husband

"At least this place is spelled; no one can do magic here, not Hope, Henry or Dahlia," Adalyn agreed with her best friend

"Sure, this place is spelled, but we've seen bigger magic than this break. I say we run while we can," Jackson added in defense

"It's a risk, either way, they are just so little. It's not fair: witchcraft, magical spells and they didn't ask for any of this which means that she wouldn't miss it if it was gone," Adlayn spoke with a sigh

"Jack, maybe that's it? Dahlia could only sense her when they are using magic so, what if there's a way of stopping her from doing it in the first place?" Hayley questioned before he paused

"They are just a baby, how are we gonna do that?" Jackson questioned some more

"I have an idea, although, it's dangerous especially now," Hayley spoke looking at them

"Let me do it, whatever it is, it's my fault you didn't get away yesterday," Aiden stated as he walked in

"No, that wasn't your fault, Aiden," Adalyn convinced some more

"Please, just give me a chance to make it up to you," Aiden pleaded with her

Adalyn, Henry, and Hope are standing but stop just outside the doorway. Adalyn clutches the twins tightly to her chest and glares at her. When Dahlia sees the kids, she clutches her heart and gasps

"I was hoping for a more intimate chat, though I sense by entering you would have me at a considerable disadvantage," Dahlia spoke looking at Adalyn

"Why don't you come on in? I would love to show you some hybrid hospitality," Adalyn warned shining her eyes

"I only wanted to see the little ones who have been promised to me and it won't be long now, surely you've noticed the spell protecting you is growing weaker," Dahlia spoke before Adalyn shook her head

"If you lay a finger on them, I swear I will make you suffer in ways even your evil mind can't imagine," Adalyn added to defend

"Adalyn, is it? I do not quarrel with you, Esther made this bargain long ago and it's most unfortunate you've been dragged into it," Dahlia added in return

"You talk like you don't have a choice but this is your doing," Adalyn stated while crossing her arms

"When I give my word, I keep it, and I expect others to do the same. Esther and I made a bargain a long time ago, and so, you see, that child is rightfully mine. The only question that you need to ask is would you deny me, knowing that it would mean your death?" Dahlia questioned some more

"You're not taking her," Adalyn stated watching her

"You're frightened for your children and I can assure you anything that Freya may have told you about our life together, well, she always had a flair for the dramatic," Dahlia remarked with an eye roll

"Well, it seems to run in the family," Adalyn remarked to the woman

"Well, then of course, most of my troubles with Freya stemmed from the fact that I came for her so late in life and she had such a strong memory of the family that I took her from, but Hope and Henry are still young, they won't cling to the memory of you or cry for you in her sleep. You can take comfort in the fact that for her it will be as if you never existed," Dahlia warned in a mocking tone

"Come closer and let's see how a witch with no magic does against me," Adalyn threatened with her Hybrid eyes

"You've upset the children and you ought not to waste your last hours with her this way. You should spend your time saying your farewells. Nightfall tomorrow will come all too soon, goodbye for now, little one," Dahlia stated before leaving

Klaus had come and dragged Adalyn back to the compound where he could watch over them and protect them if needed, she understood why he was being so overprotective but she hated having to hide inside.
