"Ancestral wall being down made Inadu's, otherwise known as Hollow's, escape possible." Said Emma.
"Who is she?" Asked Freya. Emma didn't answer.
DAVILLA ESTATE
[The Hollow's Zealot has the four missing children in a trance, controlling them, as he prepares the final touches of his spell.]
Marcel: Get away from them!
[The Zealot telekinetically impales Marcel with an iron rod. Vincent comes up behind him and knocks him in the head and he falls to the ground.]
Zealot: I know you. Vincent Griffith.
Vincent: How do you know my name?
Zealot: Because you have been me. It is happy you're here. It wants you here.
"What it? Hollow?" Asked Bella.
"I have seen that crazy look in people before. In cults." Said Kol.
Vincent: It wants me here? What are you talking about?
Zealot: It is that thing, the thing that resides within this city. Within all of us. It is in you. Loving you. As it loved your husband. [Vincent attacks the Zealot again, punching him repeatedly before he casts a spell.]
Vincent: Casser les os. Casser les os.
[The Zealot quickly overpowers Vincent with a pain infliction spell, knocking him unconscious.]
Zealot: With which eye would you most prefer to view your end? [Marcel comes from behind and stabs the Zealot through the chest, but he's unphased and retaliates with a powerful pain infliction spell that brings Marcel, the Beast, to the ground in crippling pain.]
Zealot: Let it be done. [The Zealot's spell on the children begins and they fall to the ground.]
"It's my fault. It's all my fault." Said Freya with teary eyes.
"It really is not." Said Emma.
"You did good by taking down ancestral wall. You have no idea how many children and people,in general, you saved by it. Ancestros were going mad behind the wall and it caused witches to do horrible things like trying to sacrifice Hope for power. Ancestrall wall's disappearence is nessecery." Said Emma.
"But children are dying now, too." Said Freya.
"One way or another Inadu would find way to come back. Ancestrall wall's fall just made it easier." Said Emma.
MIKAELSON MANOR&DAVILLA ESTATE
[Klaus is looking over Hope's drawings.]
Hope: Dad? I think something's wrong.
DAVILLA ESTATE
[Vincent recovers and grabs the Zealot from behind, holding a blade to his throat.]
Vincent: Let him go. Let him go right now.
Zealot: Did you think you were unique, Vincent? That it had chosen only you?
Freya looks at her husband worried.
MIKAELSON MANOR
Hope: I had a dream about a bad man. He was hurting these kids and I think he hurt me, too.
DAVILLA ESTATE
Zealot: Don't you see? You freed it, Vincent. You gave it breath. And now... it must be fed. [Vincent slashes the Zealot's throat.]
"He can take care of himself. He will fit in Mikaelson familly just fine." Approved Bella. Freya smiled. Mikaelson brothers weren't so easily conviced.
MIKAELSON MANOR
Hope: I feel dizzy. And my head hurts.
Klaus: Hayley!
DAVILLA ESTATE
Vincent: Oh, Marcel, the spell is already in motion. It's draining the life out of these kids. They're freezing.
MIKAELSON MANOR
Hope: Mom, I'm so cold.
"Hope!" Said worried Klaus.
"What's happening to her?!" Asked panicked Hayley.
DAVILLA ESTATE
Marcel: Vincent, what the hell is this?
Vincent: That witch, he used their personal items to bind them to the spell. Totems. I know this magic, I-I can reverse it.
"Do it fast then!" Yelled Klaus.
Vincent: Nettoyer timoun sa yo, nettoyer timoun sa yo.
Adam: Vincent?
Vincent: Oh. Yeah, man. Yeah, you're okay. Can you stand for me? There you go. [groans quietly] Marcel, we've got five totems and we got four kids.
Marcel: Okay, so who's the other kid?MIKAELSON MANOR
Hayley: She's never been sick, ever.
Freya: This is a magical affliction. It feels I don't know, it's hard to explain.
Kol: Cold. It feels cold. [Davina nodded at his words.]
Bella: And evil. I-- i am a siphoner and i feel magic all the time, but i have never met something like this.
Everyone is worried.
"She can be cured right?" Said Hayley.
"There has to be a way. Maybe i could siphon it." Said Bella.
[Everyone looks worried. A message appears in Freya's phone.]
Freya: It's from Vincent. He knows what's wrong with Hope, he says he can cure her.
People look relieved.
DAVILLA ESTATE
Vincent: It's done.
Marcel: Why Hope?
Vincent: 'Cause she's a special witch; she's from a special bloodline. She's powerful. She was born here in the Quarter. I mean, a sacrifice like that is something that's gonna be rewarded.
Everyone glares at screen. Not happy about the situation.
Marcel: All right. Don't let anything happen to her.
"Aww. Big brother role suits you." Said Layla. Marcel smiled. So did Klaus.
Marcel: What did he mean when he said you got into this. What happened?
FLASHBACK
Sebastian: You never came to bed.
Freya glared at him. Girls looked at her amused.
Vincent: I'm just trying to figure this... out. I've been sacrificing goats and snakes, but it doesn't seem to be enough. It's like it needs something more.
Sebastian: You need sleep, Vince.
Vincent: Seb, this is for us. All right? Imagine this. Enough power that we ain't got to worry about raising a kid in fear of Marcel Gerard.
"I wouldn't harm a child..." said Marcel.
"What were you gonna do then? Kill parents for not stopping child?" Said Layla angrily.
"I--" said Marcel, but Layla intterupted him.
"What about when child grows up? Huh? What about that?!" Said Layla angrily. Marcel looked down.
Vincent: Have a kid that is learning magic because of all the right reasons, for the joy of it and because it fulfills the soul, instead of because it needs to protect itself.
"So he always wanted a child?" Said Freya nervously.
"I'm sure you will make great mother." Said Bella to Freya. Freya looks hesistant.
Sebastian: Okay. Then show me.
Vincent: No. No, Seb. This is too powerful.
Sebastian: Oh, really? I hope you're not questioning my magical skill. We're a team. Right?
Vincent: Always.
Sebastian: I imagine a true sacrifice must be something truly loved.
[Sebastian grabs a bird that is chirping in a cage. He holds it tightly in his hands. A cracking noise is heard then the chirping stops.]
"They shouldn't be messing with magic they don't understand. It's too dangerous." Said Kol. Bella agreed.
Vincent: Donez moi...
Sebastian: Donez moi.
Vincent: ...Fortitude.
Sebastian: ...Fortitude.
Vincent: Apporte moi...
Sebastian: Apporte moi...
Vincent: Potestatem...
Sebastian: Potestatem...
Vincent&Sebastian: Donez moi fortitude. Apporte moi potestatem. Donez moi fortitude. Apporte moi potestatem.
FLASHBACK ENDS
Marcel: Something truly loved. That's why he started sacrificing kids.
Vincent: Sebastian was committed to that power. And he was willing to go further with it than I was. And that scared me. We both agreed to stop. And then one day... babies started going missing from their beds.
FLASHBACK
[Vincent and two other witches are performing a cleansing ritual on Sebastian. The spell appears to be working though she beings to rise in the the air and coughs up black-ish blood or some other fluid and falls back to the couch.]
Vincent: Well, when I found out that Sebastian was responsible for taking those kids, I knew that I had to do something about it. But he was too far gone to answer any questions, so I got some healers and we tried to cleanse him. I mean, I used every single drop of power that I had.
Vincent (flashback): Baby?
Vincent: But he wasn't possessed by any demons. He had become a demon. So I don't know, I don't know what happened to him. Doesn't even matter. Either way, it's my fault.
Freya looked at Vincent empathetically.
ST. ANNE'S CHURCH
[Vincent comes in and sits and recalls his memory of Sebastian's possession.]
FLASHBACK
Sebastian: What lives in me lives in you. Emptiness. Bitter hunger clawing at your insides. It's still there. And you'll be the one who gives it breath. You got away because it let you. Because it needs you for later. It's still churning in the soil of this city. It's beating in the hearts of your people. It will be fed, and it will be set free. We will all be set free.
Everyone looks worried.
UNKNOWN ROAD
[Will stops the ambulance carrying the missing children. The EMT paramedic gets out of the vehicle and approaches Will. He slashes the EMT's throat and takes the Ambulance with the children.]
People look shocked.
"What is he doing?!" Said Davina nervously.
"I think hollow is affecting him." Said Kol.
Will: It's okay, kids. Everything's gonna be fine.
