Klaus and I walk into Hope's room and see her standing by the window looking outside.

"She's getting stronger" Hope tells us

"You can sense her?" I ask my daughter

"When we first got here music used to play outside" Hope answered, "People dancing and laughing. But ever since she came back, it's quiet. It's like she's draining everything out of the city."

Klaus walks over to our daughter and kneels down in front of Her.

"Listen, Hope, I know you're scared, but over the years, a lot of bad people have stood against our family and all of them has fallen, the Hollow is no different."

"No. She is different" Hope says as she turns around to face her father.

We were now down stairs with Tatia and Freya, the pendant Elijah was in is cracking.

"Despite the spell I casted. The integrity of the pendant is growing unstable" Freya tells us, "it won't be able to hold Elijah's soul much longer. We need to find a way to resurrect him tonight or he's lost forever."

"To do that we need more power" I tell them

"Let me guess. We need a grand sacrafice Klaus saus

"Or a release of power" Tatia finally speaks up

"What do you mean?" Freya asks Tatia

"Freya, if you use enough power it will bring the Hollow out, lure her to you. You must use both Expressional magic and pure magic to bring my mother back from the dead. Reviving the Sanguies Aruthuim will require you to tap into all of your magic and my mother's."

"All that power can be used to revive Elijah as well." Freya says

"Lets do it." I tell my niece

"Once we resurrect Rebecca, Tatia and her mother can channel each other while Tatia casts her spell." Freya says

"What spell?" Tatia asks

"The one Hayley told you about"

"The spell that kills all supernatural creatures? No." Tatia argues

"I can rewrite it to kill the Hollow. Once you kill the hollow we can use all that power I've unleashed to raise Elijah's body and put him back where he belongs." Freya says

"We've tried everything Freya, who says this will work." I say

"We've come close. Maybe this is the kind of power we need, the power to raise the dead and to take life." Freya tells me, "the blood that runs in yours and Tatia's vains is her Achilles' heel. Hayley your blood weekend her but you've been dead for years, Tatia has been dead for over 24 hours. If we forge a blade infused with the blood of the last living Labonair..."

I shook my head

"No, I don't want Hope involved." Klaus tells his sister.

"She's already involved Nik" Tatia says, "when all of you went off to fight for our family I'd stay at home and babysit Hope, she's been obsessed with the symbol belonging to the Hollow." Tatia tells Klaus

"The serpent consumes itself, I believe this is showing the key, the only means to destroying her is her own blood." Freya says

Tatia leaves the room only to come back and hand us our daughter's drawings.

"The Hollow is one end of the bloodline and Hope is the other end. We need to close that loop and the best way to do that is for Hayley to wield a weapon forged with Hope's blood. When she stabs her its the only way the Hollow can be obliterated." Tatia tells Klaus and I
