"We didn't come here for a drink and a catch up,
Vin."

A FEW HOURS OF A DRIVE. And a very worried Amara, they finally made it to New Orleans, pulling up the SUV in the Mikaelson Compound Garage, Amara carried Hope in with the brunette child peeling herself on her mothers waist, whilst JJ and Sadie kept holding onto their father, Sadie had felt a little better whilst Hope was still feeling worse for fear. Amara biting her nails in anticipation.

The Mikaelsons except Freya walked into the Compound and looking around to see Vincent was nowhere to be seen, "Our home. Once the pride of our family, now a flophouse." Klaus stated, looking around The compound to see it was a complete mess, Amara could smell the death it was horrible.

"Indeed, the mighty have fallen." Elijah piped in.

"Where's Vincent?" Allison said as she walked in, Amara looked behind her and saw her cousin, now wasn't the time to reunite, but it was Allison came back from Mystic Falls, Elijah saw his wife and hugged her instantly

"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 kids, you got to leave the city." Vincent announced as he walked into The Compound, Amara placed her two daughters on the broken sofa, Amara then felt Klaus' arm around her waist.

"Well, we're not gonna stay, are we? Your city has lost its charm." Klaus sarcastically spoke, Amara hiding her smirk. JJ had walked up to his mother and held her hand tightly, Then the blonde picked up her son and cradled him in her arms.

"We didn't come here for a drink and a catch up, Vin. Heal my daughters." Amara harshly spoke out, the last time she wanted to be in New Orleans was to see Marcel, Amara wanted to get out of the compound and just go home.

"What they means to say is that we're very grateful, just help them and we'll leave." Allison crossed her arms and put her hands towards Vincent, Vincent rolled his eyes at the couple's words.

"Just give us what we need, and we will do so, happily." Elijah added onto his wife's words.

"Nettoyer timoun sa a. Nettoyer timoun sa a. Nettoyer timoun sa a. Nettoyer timoun sa a. Nettoyer timoun sa a." Vincent chanted and tapped Hope and Sadie's temples, Vincent couldn't help but slowly admire the two little girls, seeing that they looked like Amara and Klaus.

"Mom?" Hope opened her eyes instantly and looked towards her parents and then down towards her sister,

"Sadie?" Hope asked.

"Mommy?" Sadie opened her eyes.

"That's it. Your two Little girls purified." Vincent announced.

Amara saw Klaus and Vincent have a discussion and Amara brang her daughter in for a warm embrace, along with Sadie. JJ saw his sisters were okay and instantly hugged them, but then yawned for a moment. The blonde werewitch however could hear whispers and crows flying aroud them, "Go see your daddy girls." Amara smiled

When Hope and Sadie went to walk towards their father crows began to squawk and then died surrounding Hope and Sadie, Amara pull her son back so he couldn't get affected and then closed his eyes instantly, "Mommy, what happened?" JJ blurted out.

"What is this?" Klaus demanded.

"I don't know." Vincent responded

"Mom? Can you hear that? It's whispers. Saying a name. Over and over. "Kre Nah Han, Kre Nah Han". Hope asked, Sadie nodding and she could also hear the whispers but not saying anything to her mother, but Sadie felt a sharp pain in her head, along with Amara.

"Vincent, what what is that?" Allison questioned.

"My head hurts, Nik." Amara stumbled within his steps."It's a nearly forgotten dialect. It's Creole. It means "the Hollow". The Hollow is coming." Vincent added.

"Nik.." Amara stumbled and then fell down instantly, Klaus caught his wife and cradled her head as she fell down, They all looked towards Hope and Sadie seeing the two had also fallen down but Allison caught them.

"What the fuck is going on." Allison blurted.

THE NEXT MORNING. Amara was still asleep after fainting from the name Hope had said, Sadie and Hope however are awake and asking for their parents, Allison had called Hayley to bring Eloise down from Mystic Falls, which she did. So JJ and Eloise were in the old art room and started finger-painting. Elijah and Klaus were downstairs cleaning up the dead birds that used to surround his children, but all he could think about was his wife.

"How are they?" Klaus immediately asked, he had seen that Allison had left Amara and Klaus' old bedroom where Hope and Sadie were hugging their sleeping mother, they only thought she fell asleep but she wasn't.

"Uh, the fever's back. But they are not in any pain. Sadie's asking for you." Allison stated as she came down the stairs and stood next to Elijah, "Amara's fine, she just fainted because of the stress and pain." Allison informed.

"Well, make an excuse. I'd rather my children not know I've gone off to murder witches." The hybrid spoke, he wouldn't want his wife and his kids to know he's gone off to murder witches, but he needed to.

"Who's murdering witches?" Amara yelled at, the blonde stumbling down the stairs. Klaus running towards the steps and picked up his wife over his shoulders, Amara not even bothering to protest, he then put her down.

"I shall be." Klaus smiled.

"We can not be reckless, Niklaus." Elijah yelled."And how would you have me respond? Should I delegate my childrens safety to someone else?" Klaus asked, "Or Amara's safety!" the Hybrid yelled. Amara rolled her eyes at her husbands words. The werewitch was capable of looking after herself.

"Let me see what I can do." Elijah spoke.

"And I will handle Marcel. Out of the three of us, I win Most Likely Not to Get Killed on Arrival. Whatever we're up against, it's as much his problem as is it ours." Amara piped in, the group looking towards her. It was true, Marcel wouldn't kill the blonde as soon as he saw her, the Gerard Vampire tried to protect her kids.

"I'll come with you." Allison spoke

."Leaving me to do what, exactly?" Klaus questioned.

"Stay here and protect our daughters. Do not let anything or anyone near them." Amara demanded, placing a chaste kiss on her husbands lips, but before the two walked out she hugged Elijah and Klaus making sure they knew she'd be safe, "And take care of Eloise." Amara reminded.

AMARA AND ALLISON FOUND MARCEL. They had found him in an alley looking at a mark that was on the wall it was a snake eating it's own tail. So a witch told the three supernaturals that there was a wolf in the Bayou that got caught up with the drama. So that's where they went, whilst Allison was on the phone with Klaus, Amara and Marcel walked together, the blonde however felt awkward.

"How's the new baby? Vincent told me you had a boy." Marcel spoke, Amara rolled her eyes but then realised that only Rebekah, Hayley and Allison knew she was having  a boy before she told the whole Mikaelson clan herself. Amara sighed.

"Yeah, he's uh" Amara swallowed the lump in her throat, "He's called Jayden James. But we call him JJ for short. And he looks like Klaus a lot more then Hope and Sadie do." Amara explained, the blonde pulled out her phone and showed Marcel a photo.

"He looks like a tough one. Just like his mama." Marcel smiled.

The three of them then reached on where Lara was standing, Amara put her phone in her back pocket and stood on guard. Lara was a brunette girl with bag and tears under her eyes, only looking worse for fear, Amara moved in front of Marcel and Allison as they tried to spook her, "She's not gonna want to talk to a vampire, let alone two, I'll go." Amara exclaimed.

"The thing is, the last time I came across one of the Hollow's goons, the guy tried to kill me, so fair warning." Marcel stopped the blonde mother by having a harsh grip on her wrist. Amara titled her head towards the Gerard Vampire.

"Lara? My name's Amara I don't know if..." Amara approached her slowly

"I know who you are. Amara Kennings. I know why you're here. You're here because of the children. I'm sorry. I am. They're as good as dead." Lara cut her off and turned to face the blonde woman, Amara swallowed the second lump in her throat.

"We're not here to hurt you." Allison tried to assure.

"You can't hurt me any more than I've already hurt myself. I didn't know this was gonna happen. I didn't know they were gonna bring children into it." Lara slightly cracked her voice, Amara tried everything in her strength not to rip her to shreds, but they wouldn't cause any peace.

"It's okay. Just tell us who "they" are." Amara spoke in a calm voice.

"Those that serve the Hollow. Followers of the blue light. I thought we were doing something good. Trying to take back our city." Lara informed, Amara had a slight idea on what she was talking about.

"Back from what?" Allison yelled over

"From him." Lara raises a knife towards Marcel. "From the vampires. For five years we kept quiet. Watching you lord over this city like it was yours." Lara scoffed at the sight of Marcel, there it was, Amara couldn't hide her rage towards Marcel that was for sure, but she could never blame him for keeping her kids safe

"Hey, I spent the last five years keeping the peace..." Marcel tried to defend himself

"M, shut up!" Amara whisper-shouted.

"It is not your city to rule! New Orleans belongs to all of us. And the Hollow offered us the power we needed. So long as we pledged our allegiance."  Lara shouted, She did have a point there, Amara was so sick of Klaus and Marcel saying that New Orleans was there city.

"But Lara, you're a Crescent. You have the pack, you don't need this cult." Amara tried to intervene.

"You were gone. You chose the Original Family over your own kind. Don't you see? Our pack means nothing. You mean nothing! Even your sister left!" Lara spat towards Amara, Amara looked down, she did chose The Original Family over her own.

"No, Amelie Kenner is with me." Allison assured.

"You're right. I wasn't there. But I have daughters now. And, Lara, they're one of the kids. they're one of the kids that's in danger. So, please, help us help them." Amara pleaded.

"You can't help them. The Hollow wants power. The kind that only comes from sacrifice. Those kids will die so it can get stronger. And it will feed. And it will rise. And we will all bow before it. The great beast. Even you. My only mercy is I won't be here to see it." Lara smirked before she raised the knife that was in her hand and stabbed herself, Amara covering her gasp.

AMARA AND MARCEL MET UP WITH EVERYONE. Amara had been informed with everyone's day, William Kinney had been brainwashed by the hollow and brought the other kids to the Bayou where no one could find them. But Amara being amazing she had contacts in the Bayou so they let her know, good thing was The Bayou was her home once.

"Yeah. Assume you told everybody to be on their best behavior?" Vincent looked towards Elijah, the two men knew that this small reunion would cause sparks in everyone's egos.

"I doubt Klaus would." Amara muttered underneath her breathe

"Oh, I told them. Now whether or not they'll be obedient is another thing altogether." Elijah then saw his brother appear, then Klaus kissed and hugged his wife, "Where's Hope and Sadie?" Elijah then questioned, seeing no redhead children underneath his arms

"Freya and Allison are with them now. They're fighting it. Whatever it is." Klaus responded as he snaked an arm around his wife's waist.

"What about JJ?" Amara questioned.

"With Allison and Eloise." Klaus assured"The kids are attached to that spell: if we save the kids, we save your little girls." Vincent assured.

"And the sooner you all can be on your way." Marcel spoke.

"Clearly, we're skipping all the hugs and hellos. Vincent?" Veronica Jones smiled as she walked towards the, yes, this was Amara's contact. Veronica moved from New Orleans to South Carolina, and she's now married with a man called Jackson Genrette.

"Trail leads off this way, so, I guess we, uh, follow the breadcrumbs." Vincent informed.

"Tactless savages holding a ghost-raising rave. Best make short work of them. I say we split up. Amara your with me, not letting you go again.." Klaus demanded, Marcel then informed he was going with them and Amara sighed, she wished she was going with Elijah and Veronica, Vincent so she wouldn't have to deal with bickering.

Klaus and Marcel was bickering behind Amara whilst she walked in front of them, she could hear the bickering within ear shot. So she stopped so she could hear them bicker, "Careful. Lest your insults mar an already tentative peace." Klaus told him.

"All right, listen, I don't care about our peace, all right? I care about finding these missing kids and wiping out the messed up people who took them. Root out the problems, make them go away. That's what you do when you're the king." Marcel bragged, seeing the eye roll he recevied from Amara

"All I see is a petulant prince." Klaus smirked

"Always with the insults. You never do learn." Marcel responded.

"Oh will you both shut up!" Amara yelled"On the contrary. My time in your dungeon clarified my priorities. My concerns are with my children. And as for you, I can imagine no better revenge than leaving you to the endless struggle to prove yourself my better. You're welcome, by the way." Klaus bragged and then grabbed his wife's hand.

They finally tracked Will into the woods, he was met with five witches near an altar whre they had just laid the kids that was covered in white clothes, for some reason Amara felt the need to protect the kids with her life,"I know what I have to do. I'm not afraid." Will boldly spoke.

"We should begin." The witch spoke.

"Enough with this circus of sadists." Klaus yelled, Klaus breaks off a tree branch and throws it at the Acolyte Leader, killing him. Amara rolled her eyes as this is what usually happened with Klaus, he kills people for the fun of it.

Will then raised a hollow's tailsman but Klaus stopped his chanting grabbing him by the throat and snapped his neck with ease, but then a fire ring surrounded around Klaus and Marcel, Amara tried to break the circle with her powers, but all it was doing was draining her dry.

"No! Oh, man, we got this all wrong. They wanted us here." Vincent panicked, Veronica grabbed Amara by the shoulers and pulled her away from the fire ring.

"Why?" Elijah questioned.

"We need to get Nik out of the there, Vin!" Amara yelled towards Vincent.

"They want to channel your power, and anchor the Hollow to the living world" Vincent informed, he then inspected the children and could see they were fine, "Okay, they're alive. These kids are linked to that ritual. We can't free Marcel and Klaus unless we break the spell." He informed.

"How do we stop this?" Elijah asked.

"I'm helping!" Amara piped in

"I don't know! It's a sacrificial ritual. I can't break it unless I kill one of the kids." Vincent breathed out, Amara turned her head towards Vincent with a 'no' look as that wasn't an option. Amara held onto Veronica tightly.

"Vinnie, is there another way?" Amara pleaded, however her eyes wasn't paying attention to Vincent, Elijah and Veronica it was on Klaus and Marcel, how drained they looked, how exhausted and tired the two look, she needed to save them.

"Yeah, um so these kids are powering that ritual. But there might be a loophole, if I link it to you." Vincent informed and looked towards Elijah, everyone else becoming defensive easily, there was no way Elijah was dying!

"Are you suggesting we take my life?" Elijah questioned

"I'm suggesting we stake you with wood. You die, temporarily, and that might be enough to break the spell." Vincent explained, that could work as Elijah could only die with The White Oak state, he wouldn't die permently.

Vincent started chanting towards Klaus and Marcel, then looking towards Veronica who was the on that was gonna stake Elijah,"Veronica, do it now!" Vincent yelled.

The fire around Klaus and Marcel faded away and Amara ran towards Klaus, grabbing him by his chest and hugged him instantly, The two kissing each others lips and embracing themselves, Amara pulled away and then hugged Marcel.

"Did it work?" Veronica asked

"Yeah." Vincent nodded.
