"No... Finn... Please... Please don't do this..." I plead with Finn as I hold Hope close to my chest, tears streaming down my face.
"The time has come Penelope... It is time for me to take your daughter to Dahlia... Or else we all die..." Finn says to me as he keeps approaching me.
"Please... She's my baby... You can't just take her away!" I say sternly as I hold my daughter closer to my chest.
"You are powerless against me Penelope.. and you know it..." Finn says in an unstable tone. I look at him but then turn away, beginning to run away, but it's like my hybrid body has dissipated, I feel mortal. I keep running but when I turn the corner Finn is standing in front of me which causes me to let out a gasp. "You can't run... and you can't hide..." Finn says as he smiles evilly. I continue to back away, but then my legs hit something. I turn around and see two coffins laying next to each other.
"What is this?" I ask Finn confused as I look at the coffins. Suddenly he pops them open with magic and I let out a terrified scream when I see Klaus laying in one, and Elijah laying in the other with daggers in their chest, except Klaus's dagger looks different.
"Go on... Free one of them" Finn says devilishly, I look at him confused. "Use one of my brothers to help you, and leave the other one to rot in that coffin like they made me for 900 years!" Finn says as he keeps walking towards me, getting close to me, trying to intimidate me. "So... Which one will it be Penelope?" Finn asks as he begins circling me. I hold Hope closer to me protectively as tears cloud my eyes. "Will it be Klaus? The father of your daughter and your self proclaimed first love?" Finn says as I back away against the wall. "Or will it be Elijah? Your dirty little secret love affair?" Finn continues, getting closer and closer to me.
"Stop, stop! This has nothing to do with Klaus or Elijah... I'm just trying to protect my daughter from you and your crazy Aunt!" I yell at him.
"If this is about protecting your daughter then free one of them to protect her!" Finn yells back at me, trying to get a rise out of me. Tears just stream down my face. I swallow hard and just look at him, staying completely still. "You know, I've always been curious about which one you would choose. The way that you have both of my younger brother wrapped around your pretty little finger, I am truly fascinated by the way you got both of them to fall head over heels in love with you.. I am genuinely interested..." Finn says cunningly. I look at both Klaus and Elijah and swallow hard. I then look at Finn, the inside of my eyes scolding him.
"Burn in hell..." I growl at him as I hold Hope closer to my chest. Finn just lets out a little amused laugh.
"Gladly... But I'm taking your daughter with me" Finn says as he grabs Hope from my arms and she lets out a cry.
"NO!" I scream as I reach out to take her back but Finn waves his hand and an invisible force pins me against the wall, immobilizing me. I see Finn carrying Hope away and Hope crying hysterically. "PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T! NO!" I scream and cry as Finn carries Hope away from me. No.. No this can't be happening. "NOOOOOOO!"
--------------------
"Penelope! Penelope!" Klaus says as he shakes me awake. I wake up with a jolt and feel cold sweat running down my face. Hope is crying hysterically and I feel tears down my cheeks and tears in my eyes. I breath heavily, feeling my chest bounce up and down. "Are you alright sweetheart? I heard you screaming... You woke the baby.." Klaus says as he tries to calm Hope down. I catch my breath and wipe my tear and sweat filled face.
"Yeah... I'm okay..." I say as I push my hair out of my face. I then look at Hope concerned. "I'm so sorry baby... Mommy didn't mean to scare you my sweetheart..." I say as I hold Hope to my chest, relieved to know that she is okay. Klaus looks at me concerned.
