I woke up a few hours later to Hope saying "That man, Vincent Mom said he was a witch. That he came to help me feel better. But I feel worse." Klaus said "I know. I know. But don't worry, because as we speak, your mother and your Uncle Elijah are working with Vincent to fix you up. So you just stay calm and they'll make everything all right." she said "Do you know what it is? The Hollow? I know Harm asked earlier" he sighed and said "No, sweetheart I don't." Hope said "It wants those other kids. I can feel them. I think it wants me, too." I said "how come it doesn't want me? I mean I don't want to be sick but why is everything just after you?"
Klaus said "I don't know Harm, I know when you were a baby everyone was after Hope because she is the first born, as for this thing, I don't know I'm just glad we only have to save one of you. I am not gonna let anything take you Hope. I promise you that. I'm going to keep you both safe, always and forever." Hope fell asleep and then mom called I acted asleep and he told her we both were asleep. then after he hung up he said "I know you can hear me. I want you to listen. The heart which beats in your chest is a warrior's heart. The heart of a Mikaelson. Whatever hold this power has over you, it is nothing compared to your strength. Yours is a power greater than you know. Come on. Hope." Hope said "Dad? I saw them. The other kids. They're so scared. Promise me if you ever see the blue lights, don't look at them."
Awhile later it was just Hope and I in the room, she walked to the mirror and then said "No, no, no. It's here. The Hollow, it's here." I said "what? Hope?" Freya came in and said "what's wrong?" Hope said "the Hollow is here, don't let I take me" she called our parents who rushed home and said we'd go to the bayou. Klaus said "Hope? Harmony?" he ran in surrounded by everyone and hugged us. Before looking into the mirror like Hope did.
Hope said "Dad? We're ready to go. Aren't you coming?" he ignored her and turned too Elijah and said "You need to go to the bayou without me." Elijah said "Why?" Klaus said "Take the girls. I'll be right behind you." Elijah just asked "Why?" Klaus sighed and said "My daughter nearly died. I have to make sure the threat to her is over." Elijah said "Not without me you cannot." Klaus reasoned with "Brother, Marcel loathes you most of all. Freya will help me here. I need to know my children are safe. You and Hayley can assure that."
We were walking through a field of flowers, Hope was picking some for Grandma when mom said "I do miss it out here." Elijah said "Yeah, looks like you're not alone. You know, we could be happy out here." Mom said "I think you might stand out in that suit." he laughed and said "Well, I was thinking jeans, shorts and flip flops." mom said "I want to build a life with you, Elijah. With Hope and Harmony. I want us to be happy." he said "So we do that. Together. In jean shorts."
We made it to a cabin mom knocked on the door and grandma answered Hope and I shouted in unison "Grandma Mary!" she smiled and hugged us while saying "Well, hello, sweetheart. Oh, my girls. Oh." Hope said "I picked you some flowers." Mary said "Honey darlings, why don't you run on inside. I need to talk to your mama." we grabbed hands and ran into the house. They talked for awhile and then mom left.Grandma Mary watches as we played I was skateboarding while Hope was painting. The next day mom brought us back to the house and I changed into this.
Hope and I went to explore and we found an attic, we started opening a chest and saw a book, she said "lets read it" I nodded and sat in front of her as she opened it up and started reading "A man of words and not of deeds, is like a garden full of weeds. And when the weeds begin to crawl, it's like a bird upon the wall. And when the bird away does fly, it's like an eagle in the sky. And when the sky begins to roar, it's like a lion at the door. And when the door begins to crack... it's like a stick across your back. And when you're back begins to smart, it's like a knife inside your heart. And when your heart begins to bleed, you're dead and dead and dead indeed."
Klaus walked in and said "Not exactly the most uplifting reading material." I said "It's an old book of rhymes. There's a lot of weird stuff here." he said "You know, Hope, Harmony, I'd rather you didn't play here, actually. All the splinters and the dust... and the bats." Hope said "There aren't any bats." he laughed and said "I've seen no evidence that your Uncle Elijah doesn't sleep here, hanging upside down." I said "Dad... was there a little boy who used to live here?" he said "Come along, girls. We can discuss ancient history another time." he held his hand out so we grabbed his hand and he pulled us to our feet leading us from the attic.
Since we couldn't go in the attic I headed for the basement Hope followed me. We found a man trapped in a magic circle so Hope said "Hi. I think this is yours." he said "Hope. Harmony. I haven't seen this in a century." she said "So, you're the little boy who used to live in our house." he said "Once upon a time, I lived here with your dad." Hope said "He keeps you down here because he thinks you want to kill him. Do you?" He relied with "Listen, I will tell you anything you want to know. Okay? If you get me some blood from your dad's stash." I said "nice try, we're seven, not stupid." he said "Right. You know, you're also pretty courageous. Come down here and talk to a stranger."
Hope said "we're not scared. We're Mikaelson witches." he said "I'll tell you what, let's start fresh, all right? It is very good to see you again, Hope and Harmony Mikaelson. My name's Marcel." I said "its good to meet you Marcel" he said "You know, I'm surprised your parents haven't stormed down here looking for you." Hope said "My mom trusts me." he said "Yeah. But your dad's never trusted anyone in his life." I said "If he took care of you when you were little, why do you hate him? What did he do to you?" he said "Your dad, he raised me. He made me who I am. Now, you ask if I hate him. Well, it's hard to hate the person who made you what you are. You just end up hating yourself. The truth is I would like to hate your dad, I really would. It would make things a lot easier. But, um... you can't hate someone who you loved for so long."
I sensed something bad so I said "somethings wrong, we have to go" we started to leave but Marcel said "wait, girls, its not safe" I said "trust us Marcel" then i ran upstairs to the main floor leaving Hope behind who wants to hear him out. A man was there so I hid and he said "impressive boundary spell, too bad it only lasts as long as the witch who casted it. The Hollow is gonna have a feast tonight. We can sacrifice the whole family. Your daughters are around here somewhere, aren't they? How convenient." Klaus shouted "Hope! Harmony?"
The man attacked and Klaus just killed him, he got blood everywhere making me gasp. He looked at me and said "Harmony? Harmony let me explain please? I won't hurt you. You're safe I promise" He slowly walked toward me and I backed up a step so he stopped and got down on his knees. He said "please Harmony, I won't hurt you" he held his hand out for me. I took a deep breath and said "you ripped out his heart" he said "yes I did and I am sorry you had to see that. Harmony, Baby I need you to understand he was going to kill all of us, including you and Hope. I did what I had to, I will always do what I need to protect you both, you and your sister are my entire life."
I watched him and he said "please Harmony, we have to go find your sister" I said "she stayed with Marcel." He said "she probably let him free so they could get away. Harmony daddy is a monster and I know this, I try not to be but I have to protect you girls." I said "I have the darkness like you, does that mean I'm also a monster?" he pulled me to his chest wrapping his arms around me and said "the darkness doesn't make you a monster, what you do with it, make you one. You will never be a monster, you're too kind and you will grow up to be amazing. You will never be a monster but you are my lil monster"
I said "daddy you make no sense" he picked me up and said "well Hope is the princess, you are the monster the warrior, you protect her and your battle the monsters." I hugged him and said "lets go save the princess" he smiled at me and he ran off trying to find them. He said "Marcel!" Hope said "Dad. What happened?" Klaus said "It's, uh... it's, it's paint. I made quite a mess, didn't I?"
Hope said "Where's Mom?" he said "She's at home, waiting for you. Are you okay? You took your bracelet off." she said "Dad, don't be mad. I-I let Marcel out and he kept me safe." he said "I'm not angry, sweetheart, come here." she walked to us and said "Don't be angry with Marcel, either. He's my friend." He carried us both home before laying us in bed, he kissed our heads and left the room. As I was falling asleep she said "that wasn't paint was it?" I said "do you want me to lie to you?" she said "I figured, night Harm" I said "Night Hope" I fell asleep in the comfort of my sisters arms.
