Carrying her daughter into the once Mikaelson home, Hayley Marshall was in panic mode. Faith had never been sick. Hayley had protected her daughters their whole lives, and now her eldest was sick and it didn't sit well with her.

"Is Vincent here yet?" She asked as she put her daughter down on the dusty couch, brushing her hair out of her face.

"Right here. Kept my word. Now the only question is whether or not you guys are gonna keep yours. As soon as I'm finished healing your kid, you got to leave the city." Vincent told the group.

Hayley breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe, just maybe, her baby girl would be alright.

But they were the Mikaelson family, nothing was ever going to be alright.

Hope had been left at home for the time being. They didn't want to worry the younger twin, and even though they knew how close the two were they didn't think this was a good environment for Hope.

"Well, we're not gonna stay, are we? Your city has lost its charm." Klaus rudely added, glaring heatedly at the witch.

Hayley sensing an argument coming, quickly intervened, "What he means to say is that we're very grateful, just...help her and we'll leave."

"Excuse me." Vincent steps over to the Faith, she is even weaker than earlier, "Okay..." he begins to rub his hands together and starts to say the incantation, getting louder with each word.

Tapping Faiths temples softly, her eyes snap open, "Mom?"She groans.

"There. Your little girl is purified." Vincent backs away 

"Thank you." Klaus says to him, showing a small bit of gratitude on his face.

"Now look, the only gratitude I need from any of you is seeing you leave the city." Vincent tells him before backing away.

"Go see your Daddy." Hayley tells the Faith after checking on her.

She glances towards her father, and begins taking small steps forward. Suddenly a bird dropped from the sky in front of her feet. More crows echoed through out the building, as multiple dead crowd formed a circle about the seven year old

"What is this?" Klaus questions, angrily.

"I don't know." Vincent tells him, bewildered.

Hayley kneels in front of her daughter who is panting, "Mom?" Faith asks, "Can you hear that?"She questions.

Hayley shakes her head so the girls elaborate by Faith telling her, "It's...whispers. Saying a name." The girl then tells Hayley, "Over and over." Faith informs, "Kre Nah Han...Kre Nah Han..."

"Vincent, what...what is that?" Hayley asks concerned for the safety of her baby girl.

"It's a nearly forgotten dialect. It's Creole. It means the Hollow. The Hollow is coming." Vincent tells them, exasperated.

What else did he expect with the Mikaelsons?

......

The next morning, Klaus is picking up the dead crows and putting them into a bag. He and Elijah are standing in the courtyard when Hayley walks down the steps. "How is she?" Klaus asks her.
