(St Anne's Church Attic)

Aria's POV.

As I continue to hear Hayley scream in pain, I get weaker at her every breath. This is it.

"She's almost there." Monique says as she strolls into the attic.

"Let's get a move on." The witch says, and he walks over to me before picking my body which is almost drenches in either dry or fresh blood.

"M-my sister, where's D-Davina?" I stutter hoarsely.

"Probably tending to Marcel's and his vampire friends werewolf bites at the Mikaelson compound." Monique says without any remorse.

"Y-you monster." I tell her hoarsely as we are about to enter the main part of the church.

As I'm carried in, I am able to see various witches including the other harvest girl and Genevieve stand near a now in labour Hayley on the alter with Klaus being telekinetically pinned to the wall watching.

"Aria? You were there the whole time." Klaus says figuring out as he stairs helplessly at me and Hayley.

"Invisible and privacy spells can do wonders." Genevieve smirks before looking at us all individually as I get placed down against the rows of seats "Let's begin, shall we?" She asks before walking over to me "Bring him here." She tells the witches, and two of the witches who aren't assisting Hayley goes over to Klaus.

"I will bring hell to your family!" Klaus shouts at them.

The two witches then telekinetically bring Klaus over to me and Genevieve, and Genevieve then takes out a knife and slits his wrist open.

"W-what are you d-doing?" I stutter hoarsely.

"Giving the ancestors what they crave, all the magic you can siphon." Genevieve tells me, and I now know what she is doing.

"No, no-" I try to say, but I'm cut off when Klaus' bleeding wrist gets shoved to my mouth telekinetically. Klaus then looks down at me struggling to get free from the witches magic.

"Phase one for Aria, complete." Monique says as Klaus gets thrown back at the wall, and I begin coughing black blood up and it starts to dribble from my nose too as I fall to the ground in pain.

"One last push! Push! The baby's almost here!" Genevieve says to Hayley as she walks over to her.

"I will bathe in rivers of your blood!" Klaus shouts at the witches, and four of the witches kneel down at either side of me.

"No! No!" Hayley screams in pain.

"I can see the baby!" Monique tells Genevieve.

"Push! Gently! Gently!" Genevieve tells Hayley, and I feel myself fading away.

"You will die screaming!" Klaus shouts at them.

"Now!" Genevieve says, and all four of the witches around me garb my arms tightly so I uncontrollably siphon.

"Aahhh!!!" Me and Hayley scream in unision as we scream for different reasons, and blood starts pouring out my eyes as well as ears, nose and mouth.

But I then stop and as silent passes, and the only thing I can hear is a baby cry before I fade into death, all alone.

Third POV.

Once Aria takes her last breath and the four witches around her fall to the ground dead, both Klaus and Hayley stop screaming to glance at her before they see their baby. One of the witches then helps cut the umbilical cord, and Genevieve wraps the baby in a blanket.
