I looked out the window of my room with my sister beside me. I heard footsteps coming in.

"The Hollow is getting stronger." I turned to look at our dad.

"You can sense her?" He asked.

"When we first got here, there was always music outside, people dancing, laughing. But since she came back, it's so quiet." Hope explained.

I nodded. "Like she's draining everything out of the city."

Hope turned as well. "She already took uncle Elijah. And soon she will come for the rest of us."

Dad crouched. "Listen, girls, I know you're scared. But over the years, a lot of bad people have stood against our family, and all of the have fallen. The Hollow is no different."

I looked down and shook my head, sadly.

"No, she is different." Hope said.

~~~~~~~

Mom came and talked to Hope and I. She needed our blood to help stop the Hollow. Mom put a needle over a lot candle.

"I don't want to." Hope said.

"I don't either." I added.

Mom crouched. "Are you scared it's gonna hurt?"

"I'm scared if I do this, you're gonna pick a fight." Hope said.

"The Hollow can hurt you, mom." I told her.

"I know you're scared. I wish we didn't have to have this conversation. When I was your age, I had to deal with a lot of things that I didn't want to deal with either. I didn't want that for you girls, but here we are. The thing is, sometimes you have to do things that you don't want to do because you're the only one that can do them."

"Like you." Hope said.

I smiled.

"Like me." Mom said.

She was right. Like always.

I nodded. "Alright, mom."

I held my finger out and mom hesitated before she stabbed my finger with the needle. I held back a flinch.

"Okay." Hope agreed.

She did the same thing as me.

~~~~~~~

"Hey, buddy." Uncle Kol said when he came into our room.

Hope was holding her rabbit doll while I held my wolf doll. Mom gave me that doll for my fifth birthday.

"Are my mom and dad back?" Hope asked.

"Not quite. Hey, you know what I used to do when I was bored at your age? Magic." Uncle Kol had a rope that was into a huge knot.

"We aren't supposed to do magic especially with strangers." I said.

"What? I--I'm family."

"So why did you go away?" Hope questioned.

"I went away because I was sad. And I thought I'd never be happy again. And I didn't want to make everybody that I loved around me sad, too.

I thought about it for a second. Hope and I set our dolls down. Hope took the rope knot from Kol's hands.

"If we untie this knot... your girlfriend will be free from the Hollow?" Hope asked.

"I hope so." He said.

"Do you really love her?" I looked up at him.

"Yes. Kind of like you mom loves, uh..."

"Uncle Elijah." Hope smirked.

I giggled.

"You girls are miraculously well adjusted."

I unhooked my bracelet and so did Hope.

~~~~~~~

Hope and I sat facing each other. We both took the two sides. Kol heard something and turned to us.

"All right. Focus on the knot, luv. It's very important, I'll be right back."

He left the room and Hope and I went back to the knot.

I felt our magic mix together and the knot started going in the air. I grinned. We're doing it. We helped Kol.

~~~~~~~

Hope and I woke up from the ground where we fell asleep on. I jumped when our bedroom door slammed shut by itself. Then the blue lights came. Hope and I held each other in fear. It's here.

Dad came into our room while we were looking into the mirror. "I saw the light under your door. Your mother told me she tucked me in."

"I don't like to sleep when things are happening." Hope said.

"You woke Elijah." I said.

"Yes. And has very excited to see you girls. In the morning. Hmm?" He picked us up and on to our bed that we shared. "There's nothing to worry about anymore, okay?"

"You didn't punish Kol." Hope stated.

"Well... he's family."

"And we protect family." I said.

"Like you and mom are our protectors, right?" Hope asked.

"Always and forever." He smiled at us. "And tommorow, I'm going to show you everything I love about New Orleans. The music, the dancing, the art. After all, every princesses ought to know their kingdom. Goodnight, sweethearts."

"Night." Hope and I muttered back.

Dad shut the light off when he left. Hope and I turned since faced each other. I smirked. Our eyes flashed blue. Now it's time to take over New Orleans.
