"Auntie Ami!"

AMARA, ELIJAH, AND HAYLEY walked through the Bayou with the triplets running ahead, they were picking up flowers to make a bouquet of flowers for Amelie and Grandma Mary's as they were making there way towards the cabin. Amara was running her fingers through the flowers with a smile on her face, Elijah and Hayley however were getting quite close to each other which worried the blonde werewitch, but she shrugged it off.

Amara was walking in front of Elijah and Hayley the blonde was wearing a floral summer dress with a thigh-high slit and a blonde ponytail with a white bow tying it together, the blonde ponytail swaying within her steps as she wears a pair of white converse comforting her feet, and a light pink cardigan to warmth her shoulders.

"I wanna knock!" Hope argued.

"No, move I wanna do it!" Sadie yelled.

"No, let me, I'm her favourite!" Jayden bragged.

Amara, Hayley and Elijah stood behind the twins with a slight smile on there face, "You know auntie Ami and Grandma Mary don't have favourites, how about all three of you knock?" Amara inquired, earning a smile coming from Elijah, he couldn't help but be in awe of the blonde as she raised the three of them with only a slight help from Allison.

The triplets listened to there mother and three dainty hands knocked on the door, "Grandma Mary!" The triplets yelled in unison, Amelie Kenner walking towards the door and hugging Amara instantly.

"Auntie Ami!" Sadie yelled out.

"Well, hello, sweetheart. Oh, my girl. Oh." Amelie adored, Amelie had certainly aged in the past five years, the blonde was more perkier, it was a shame Amara couldn't celebrate any birthday's with her considering she was supposed to be in hiding but she sent presents with Klaus' credit card.

"We picked you and Grandma some flowers." Hope said as she snatched the flowers from her sister and brothers hand with a glare entering there faces and passed it towards Amelie and Mary, the two women adoring the flowers.

Mary looked up at Amara and Hayley and could see Elijah peering behind them, Mary's smile turned into a scowl, "Honey darling, why don't you run on inside with Amelie. I need to talk to your mama. Didn't know you were bringing him." Mary scowled as Amelie took the triplets inside.

"Mary, come on." Hayley tried to persuade.

"Vampires aren't welcome. Allison is the exception. Rules of the house." Mary demanded as she crossed her arms but kept eye contact with Elijah the whole time, Amara knew that Allison wasn't the only exception, Klaus was as well.

"I'll leave you two." Elijah polietly spoke, but Hayley looked at her cousin before running after him, Amara was definitely gonna ask Allison about that.

"You scared the poor man away, I mean good. Still haven't forgiven him for killing Davina." Amara scowled as she hugged her grandmother with a tight squeeze, Marcel - despite Amelie's pleads - tried to protect Mary throughout the years.

"You know how I feel. Our kind winds up dead when they're around. Yesterday, we lost Lara. I wake up to hear there's been some kind of occult massacre in the woods. Let me guess Mikaelsons are involved." Mary questioned, Amara sighed and fiddled with her wedding ring.

"That's why I'm here. I want to talk about what really caused that massacre last night." The werewitch sighed, the blonde leaned against the doorframe of the shack and could see Amelie giving the triplets sweets.

Mary sighed and grabbed Amara's wrist gently and the two women sat on the dock, Amara took of her converse and dangled her feet in the warm lake that felt nice as it was summer in New Orleans and Amara was pratcuarly sweating her boobs off, "All we know is this cult wanted to sacrifice children. Somehow Lara got caught up in it, and when she tried to get out, she couldn't, and she killed herself." Amara informed.

"That doesn't make sense. Someone is recruiting Crescents into a cult?" Mary scoffed in disbelief.

"That's what I need you to look out for, Mary Anything strange. These people obsess over specific imagery. It's a serpent eating its own tail." Amara cleared her throat, the image of a serpent eating its own tail had popped up in her mind and the headaches had come back.

"What'd you say?" Mary blinked

"A serpent. Like a dragon. When Hope and Sadie was affected, they drew some. Here." Amara pulled some of Sadie and Hope's drawings and showed them to Mary, seeing that Mary had instantly gotten defensive.

"There's something you need to see." Mary told her.

MARY HAD SHOWN AMARA a Journal of her grandfather, after Amara and Hayley had gone through it together as there was stuff in there about there parents, whilst Elijah and Hayley were going through the Journal, Amara was outside with Amelie and helping her hang the washing on the thin line, the clothes were for Amelie when she needed to wolf out.

Whilst Amara was helping Amelie, the silence was irritating Amelie, "Okay I need to say something I hate the silence, how do you feel that your parents could potentially be killers." Amelie spoke, easing the word killer as the triplets were playing out in the garden.

"Oh thanks." Amara scoffed.

"No what I mean." Amelie went silent,

"Mary recently found out I was adopted, it now makes sense that I don't look like Jack or you. So what I mean is, that your parents or Hayley's parents could've killed your grandfather."

Amara was in shock about Amelie being adopted and hugged her instantly, "I mean. It's a struggle but I found my place with Nik, the triplets. "Growing up, I never belonged anywhere. Not in school. Not in foster care. I always thought if I could find my parents, I'd finally belong somewhere." Amara sighed for a moment.

"You do belong somewhere." Amelie assured

"I did terrible things to find my family, Amelie. And when I did, they were already dead. And now I find out that the same people who killed them are the ones who hurt the triplets." Amara sobbed.

"Listen to me. Klaus, Kol and Elijah will not let anything happen to you. Do you understand?" Amelie grabbed her sisters hand and wiped the tears from her eyes, Amara smiling at the blonde wolf and then continued to help her hang the clothes on the line

Amara's phone vibrates in her bra, seeing the ID read: FREY <3, Amara scoffed, "Yes Freya what do you want now?  More money?  A check, my soul?" The blonde wolf snorted next to her.

"Mars, your husband is rich. And he's also my brother I can steal from him." Freya rolled her eyes over the phone.

"Like you stole Davina from her friends and famiy? Yeah, it's been five years and what." Amara sarcastically worded, "Okay, sorry. What is it."

"You need to come back to the city, or Marcel's going to kill Klaus." Freya blurted out.

"Fuck."

AMARA WAS ENROUTE TO HELP FREYA. When the blonde arrived she could see Freya pounding on the barrier spell that was outside an abandoned house where she could hear Marcel and Klaus arguing but then hearing Mikael's voice, the werewitch swallowed the lump in her throat and stood next to Freya.

"Looks like you need my help?" Amara teased and Freya nodded, Freya held onto Amaras hand and pink wisps started spitting out the two blonde's hands, and a pink aura surrounded the boundary spell and then turning into pink fire.

The barrier spell was breaking but Amara could hear the conversation inside the house,"I should've killed you when I had the chance." Marcel threatened. Amara continued breaking the boundary spell with her powers and it was almost working.

"Your mistake." Klaus blurted out

"Fight, you coward, or today will be your daughters and sons, and wife's last." The Hollow taunted towards Klaus, Klaus flinching at the mention of his family he only just got back, he needed to do this.

"I won't let you hurt my children or Amara." Klaus yelled

The Hollow whispered something in Marcel's ear and the Gerard vampire yelled out, but finally Freya and Amara break through the boundary spell and the two storm in. Amara had used her powers to pin Marcel against the wall. The Gerard vampire whincing in pain, "Why is it when something happens it is always you two!" Amara yelled.

"Kill your son, Klaus. Otherwise, I will find a way to control him, and Hope, Sadie and little JJ will never be safe." The hollow taunted, Klaus dropped the dagger and snapped Marcel's neck with an ease snap. He had pushed Amara away from the Gerard vampire.

But when Amara and everyone else saw the Hollow it was a shadow of darkness, Amara yelled out in pain and clutched her head, Klaus moved towards his wife and could see blood oosing from her dress, Freya looked down towards the werewitch and instantly went into action, Klaus had cradled his wife in his arms.

"Leave my family alone!" Freya throws the purification potion and the bottle shatters against the shadow. It makes a high-pitched squealing and seemingly attacks them and then disappears.

"Klaus we need to move her." Freya whispered.

WHILST AMARA WAS RESTING. Klaus, Freya and Elijah were in the study debriefing on what happened, Freya had changed Amara out of her bloody dress so the twins wouldn't get suspicious so instead she was wearing Klaus' henley and a pair of sleep shorts. Freya was sat on the desk with the dagger sat next to her.

"I prefer my mind remain unaltered for the time being." Klaus gave his brother the cold shoulder as he tried to give him a drink, he needed to keep his mind clear so his wife would wake up in a sober's man arms

"Weird. I feel the exact opposite." Elijah responded

"Rest easy, brother. My spells have Marcel bound and cloaked. Even more, I can find no trace of the Hollow's magic in either of you." Freya assured, yes they were keeping Marcel looked in a cage like an animal, but they thought it was best to keep him there

"So where has it gone? It's a ghost. It could be anywhere, and since we know that it still wants to sacrifice someone powerful, we have to be prepared." Elijah questioned, Freya however tried to reach for the dagger but Klaus grabs hi sisters hand with a firm grip.

"I think I'll hold on to it for now." Klaus glared towards his sister.

"This wasn't a gift. Today proved Marcel's a threat, whether used as a sacrifice or possessed." Freya coldly spoke,  the blonde witch had a point. Marcel was now a threat and they needed leverage over him.

"Regardless..." Klaus trailed off"What good is having a weapon if you won't use it?" Freya questioned.

"Niklaus, give it to her." Elijah warned.

He hands over the weapon, but with a warning. "Having a monopoly of power makes you a target, sister. Remember that." Klaus warned, "You think I spared Marcel out of some mawkish sentimentality. The Hollow wanted both of us dead. Killing him would have given it what it wanted. Mercy was necessary. That's all, now if you'll excuse me, im going to my wife"

Klaus had gone to his shared bedroom with his wife and could see she was still asleep but could see Hayley sat down next to her, "I'm not gonna disturb." Klaus excused himself.

"Klaus, wait." Hayley halted the mans actions, "Just because you're married to my cousin doesn't mean you get to treat her like shit, okay? She went through hell to bring you back, to bring all of you back." Hayley waved her hand.

"I know." Klaus whispered, "I'm just scared I'll mess everything up with her and she'll leave." Klaus sobbed.

Hayley was hesitant at first but then brang Klaus into a hug.
