The Story About The Hollow Part One
The following day, Klaus and Kiara helped their children out of the car when they entered New Orleans. With its busy streets and loud music. Emma whined following her mother "Why did have to leave London?"
"Because your uncle Ambrose said he needed our help. And we answer the call when family needs your help."Kiara explained to her, leading her into the cabin in the bayou.
Klaus opened the door for them where Kiara saw her niece laying underneath a bunch of blankets on a bed.
"Kie, Klaus. Thank goodness you all are here."Hayley sighed in relief, coming over and hugging Kiara.
"Yeah of course. So what exactly has been happening?"Kiara said hugging her for a moment before breaking the embrace.
Ambrose came out of the small kitchen with some hot chocolate and explained "She started shaking and crying in her sleep. So Hayley and I did a mind dive with our vampire powers. But all we saw was a bright blue light and then some darkness."
He then tells his daughter "Here you go honey, drink this."
Andrea groaned when he helped her sit up and drink the warm liquid he had for her.
"Well that sounds like an ordinary witch torture spell to me."Klaus scoffed putting his hands in the pocket of his black jacket.
"No. Our dad warned us before we went to rescued you. He said the spell we did to break the connexion with the ancestors, might had cut their connexion but some evil spirit got out. I think this was what he was talking about."Kiara realised.
Hayley asked "Kiara, could you may siphon whatever is inside her away?"
"Hayley I wish I could but I don't think that would work exactly. Our power doesn't work that way. Yes we can siphon magic but I think we can siphon away simple nightmares."Kiara stated.
Hayley dropped down beside her daughter when she started mumbling something they couldn't place.
"Andrea, sweetheart. What's wrong?"Hayley asked her daughter worriedly.
"Mom. Dad? Can you hear them too?"Emma called their attention away from the three.
Klaus stepped towards her, bending down on a knee and asked "What's going on?"
Moving to stand by him Kiara asked the kids "Look at me. Tell me what you heard."
Olivia mumbled quietly "Voices. They said that we're connected to this. Us and Andrea. They have a message for us. A warning."
"Tell me what they said, Livia."Klaus said, placing a hand on her cheek.
Lucas finished looking directly at Kiara and Klaus "They want you to go to St. Anne's Church to talk to them. They said you have to do exactly what they say, and you have to do it now. "
"Before the Hollow comes for us."Andrea moaned in agony finishing the message.
Some time later, Luke walked out of a small gas station, on the phone with Klaus "You need to relax. I'm on my way to New Orleans right now. And I have good news. I went through the remains of the Lockwood estate, and I found you one creepy-ass, ancient finger bone."
"Your efforts are appreciated. Now, if you could only pick up the pace."Klaus says sternlly while walking down the steps from the study.
"Easy, Klaus. The only reason I'm heading your way is because I don't want you anywhere near Mystic Falls and because Kie asked me to. Things tend to get murder-y when you're around. And I want to meet those kids and see my sisters."Luke scoffed and walked toward his car.
"Well, that's a fair point. Now, Luke, if our pleasantries have run their course..."Klaus trailed.
"Oh, hey, listen, one more thing. The Lockwoods, they didn't just safeguard the bone... They kept records with names, dates and locations. Turns out they had knowledge of other families that were charged with guarding the rest of the remains. Now, does the name Labonair mean anything to you?"Luke cuts him off from further talking.
"It's familiar, yeah."Klaus sighed.
"Well, good. That might be a lead to help you find the rest of the remains. Which you'll have to do yourself, because my days of fighting monsters are over. Okay, so here's the deal. I will be at Jack's Bar-B-Q Shack off Route 59 until 2:00-o-clock. If you're not there by 2:10, I chuck the bone and the records in a Dumpster and I'm gone. And then you can fish them out of the trash yourself."Luke explained.
"Well, I'm afraid I'll be otherwise occupied, so you'll be meeting Elijah and Valerie. And if, perchance, he's running late, I suggest you exercise some patience and have yourself a beer. Otherwise, you'll have a few more monsters to worry about."Klaus said, annoyed before he hang up.
Kiara, Hayley, Ambrose and Klaus arrived at the church where the Ancestors had told them to meet. Klaus opened the door for them and followed them inside to see no one in sight.
"It's quiet."Hayley muttered as she looked around.
"Of course it's quiet. It's a trap."Klaus replied, walking further inside.
Hayley sighed at his negativity "We don't know that."
"New Orleans witches have hated my family for three centuries. Of course it's a trap."Klaus stated.
" The coven protects their own. Your kids and mine are part of that now. They're part of their legacy."Hayley pointed out.
"Our kids are far cry from a French Quarter fortune-teller. And while we're on the subject, they are eight, and both Emma and Andrea are six. If anyone wants to talk to either of my children or my nieces and nephew, they should ask for my permission."Klaus frowned.
"You're gonna be a lot of fun when they start dating. Especially with Lucas."Kiara sarcastically smiled and he smiled just the same.
"I'm gonna be a perfect gentleman. And should any of their suitors fail to meet my expectations, I'll compel them to the priesthood."Klaus replied, walking toward his wife.
They turned to the sound of footsteps. They saw four girls stood at the alter.
"Oh, look, Harvest Girls. I assume you speak on behalf of your Ancestors."Ambrose said, moving closer, Kiara, Hayley, and Klaus following.
"Provided that you've come in peace."One girl spoke.
"Well, that depends on you, doesn't it?"Klaus replied.
"We don't want a fight. We're here to offer a deal."Another said.
"Although your brother did murder all four of us, so let's not pretend we're friends." A long brunette haired girl added as she stepped toward Klaus.
"Please consider all pretense of friendship dropped. Where are the Ancestors?"Klaus asked but the harvest girls remained silent.
The four Harvest girls had set a circle of salt and herbs, creating other ingredients as well. They passed a wooden bowl to the end girl and one of them called Amy said "We need your blood."
"That's funny, I didn't hear you say 'please'." Klaus scoffed.
" If you want answers, we have to guide you to the Ancestors. But since you aren't witches..."Jessica explained as she held the bowl forward.
"Thanks the gods that me and Annie are part one."Kiara said, sighing in relief.
Hayley took the bowl from them as she said "We need to bend the rules. How?"
"Simple loophole. You're both bound by blood to a New Orleans witch. We can use the link to your child to cast a spell and link you to an audience with the dead."Amy explaining, glancing at Klaus and Hayley.
Hayley bit into her wrist, letting the blood pour into the bowl. She moved back toward Klaus, Ambrose, Hayley and Kiara, handing the bowl to Klaus. He took the bowl, biting into his wrist.
"Why don't we need your blood?" Hayley asked Ambrose and Kiara.
"Being a witch in these situations come in handy."Kiara told her, knowing as long as her and Ambrose were inside the circle, they could go to this audience with the Ancestors with them.
Klaus handed the bowl to one of the girls, glancing at Kiara before he asked "Why do I get the feeling there's something you're not mentioning?"
Kiara took a slight breath as they entered the circle "Yeah... this is gonna to hurt."
The Harvest girls thrust their hands towards them, causing Hayley and Klaus to throw their heads back and scream in pain. Ambrose and Kiara closed their eyes, focusing on the spell the girls were chanting. They felt their bodies pulling from the side to side.
Their bodies suddenly jolted forward and they opened their eyes, seeing they were in St.Anne's Church but it was different. It was colder, a blue-greyish aura around them.
Kiara glanced down, seeing Klaus and Hayley groaning on the floor. Klaus stood up and asked "Now can I be angry at them?"
"Get angry later. We're here now. We may as well get some answers." Hayley muttered.
Klaus moved down the church and asked "So are we to wander around this dreary purgatory in search of lost souls?"
The lights began to flicker around the church before completely going out, plunging them into darkness. The door squeaked, causing them all to look towards it. Someone walked in, their hood covering their head.
They stopped and said "I wasn't sure you were gonna show up."
"Well, I'm full of surprises. I hope you intend to make our trip worth the effort."Klaus stated.
"As a matter of fact, I do."The woman said, removing the hood, revealing it was Sophie Deveraux and they stand there in shock.
"Sophie?" Kiara asked.
"You are gonna listen to every single word I have to say, because right now, I'm the only thing standing between you and the Hollow."Sophie told them.
"Look, if you know something about the Hollow, please tell us."Hayley demanded.
"You want to defeat the Hollow. So do I. So do the Ancestors. But first you need to know what you're up against. It begins a thousand years before the city was founded. Two rival tribes decided to combine their power. They thought that by uniting in peace, they would enter a new age of harmony. A marriage was arranged. Two powerful witches joined together to create a unified coven."Sophie started.
"A ceremonial wedding. Like the one Jackson and Hayley had to unite their packs."Kiara stated.
"Let me guess. Something went wrong."Ambrose chimed.
Sophie continued "That marriage bore a child. For nine months, the tribe elders visited the mother, using magic to grant the child great power in hopes that the newborn would become a symbol of prosperity. But they had no idea what they were bringing into the world. She was named Inadu. Soon it was clear that she was stronger than anyone could imagine. And that she had a terrible hunger for more power still. And that's how the Hollow was born." Sophie continued.
"Well, this is all frightening fodder for campfire tales, but how do we kill her?" Klaus questioned.
"You don't understand. You can't."Sophie said.
Meanwhile, Luke drives down the road to meet up with Elijah and Valerie at the place he told Klaus about. He nodded his head to the music playing on the radio until its goes static then completely cuts off. The Parker witch clicked his tongue irritably that the music cut off, but then his car begins to make noises as well.
"You've got to be kidding me."Luke muttered as the car slows down.
He glanced up in front of him to see a woman standing in his way, so he comes to a full stop. Taking precautions, Luke stepped out of the car and shows the woman a fake smile.
"Car trouble?"The woman said.
"Yeah, it's the damndest thing. Just died on me."Luke says, gesturing with his arm and opened the door of the backseat.
"Unless you want to follow suit... give me the bone."Sofya demanded him and he makes a face.
"Yeah. Sorry. Some other guy called dibs. And he's a real jerk."Luke said.
Luke shakes his head and pulled out a crossbow. The Hollow, in Sofya's body, throws Leo across the pavement with telekinesis and he groaned once he hits the ground. She walked towards the opened the back door and hears the Parker laughing.
"Why are you laughing?"Sofya asked as she faces him and he shrugged.
"'Cause I know something that you don't."Luke said.
"What's that?" Sofya asked.
"I packed that trunk full of C-4."Luke said before using his magic to shoots the truck, ducking away as it exploded.
When there was no sign of Sofya anywhere to be seen, Luke slowly stands up onto his feet and messages Elijah about his detour. Minutes Elijah, Valerie and Marcel arrive the scene where the car is tarnished and Luke walked toward them, already healed from his wounds as he used a healing spell to heal.
"Oh, thanks for coming. Would have been a long walk back to New York."Luke told them.
"Don't tell me this is your expert." Marcel muttered to the Original and looked at Luke before he asked "So what happened?"
"Well, aside for forfeiting, my lease, I blew up one of those vampire-witch combos when she tried to take the bone."Luke told them.
"What did she look like?"Elijah asked.
"Oh. Brunette, gorgeous but not really I am more into former goddessess. Lace top. Black jacket, glowing blue eyes."Luke added and cleared his throat.
"Sofya. The Hollow's inside Sofya, probably using her."Marcel realized.
"Or using all of us." Elijah added.
"Oh, we got to find a way to save her."Marcel says.
"Or put her out of her misery."Elijah says, his voice monotone and Marcel scoffed.
"I'm sorry. What? Did I hear that right? Oh, that's right. That is the Mikaelson way, isn't it? I mean, why try to save someone when you can just kill 'em?"Marcel started to get angry.
"Hey, I love a good grudge just as much as the next guy, but do you want to stand around whining about a missing finger bone, or do you want to talk about a ledger that points us to where the other bones might be? I studied the records, and I got a family name... Del Robles. Bloodline ends ten years ago, and according to the Lockwood records, somebody in that family is buried with one of those mystical bones."Luke told them.
"Where?" Valerie asked, looking to him and Luke thinks for a moment.
"Black Clay Cemetery in the Treme." Luke responded.
"Well, Sofya has a head start."The Original and Valerie started to make their way back to the car.
Marcel stopped the heretic and Elijah "Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait. That cemetery was redeployed. Too much flooding. Now the bodies were moved to two separate locales... The Haves and the Have Nots."
"Del Robles were aristocracy. Okay, it means their crypt was moved to St. Ailbhe Cemetery."Elijah explained as Marcel nodded and walked to the car.
"Yeah, that sounds like fun, but on the way, can you drop me off at the ER? Thanks."Luke groaned and followed them.
A/N So Since Davina is alive, the ancestor meeting them, I changed it to Sophie Deveraux.
