We heard the door open then saw some blue light, the door closed, I whimpered, and held the pillow.

We were looking for our dad, once we finally found him, Hope said" Dad? We're ready to go. Aren't you coming?" We looked at him, he just nodded his head a little, I looked at hope then grabbed her hand and dragged her back to mom.

We got to the Bayou, Hope and I ran forward and grabbed flowers, along the way. I stopped as I saw a grasshopper, I tried to catch it but it hopped before I got it, I jumped to its next spot and tried but failed again. I huffed and jumped again this time catching it, I smiled and looked at it, it bounced at my face and I fell back, I hit the ground with a thump. The grasshopper hopped away,
Mom said" Come on, Faith." I jumped up but slipped and fell again, I huffed," We're almost there, Clumsy." Uncle Elijah came back to me and lifted me up onto my feet, he smiled at me and I ran to catch up with Hope, tripping along the way, but not falling. We got to Grandma Mary's, and We knocked on the door, she opened the door,
We said" Grandma Mary!"
She said" Well, hello, sweethearts. Oh, my girls. Oh."
Hope said" I picked you some flowers."
" Honey Darlings, why don't you run on inside. I need to talk to your mama." We walked inside, and then I pulled off my bag and grabbed the stuff from it,
Hope said" Is that why you were tripping a lot?"
I said" Probably. But they're pretty."

My leg was shaking, I tilted my head, watching my leg shake, I said" My leg is shaking, why is my leg shaking?,"
Hope looked at me," I'm nervous. I'm never nervous."
Hope said" What's wrong?"
" I don't know." 
" Is it something with the Hollow?"
" I don't know."
I walked out of the cabin, and closed my eyes,

Kill Marcel

I jumped back and ran around, trying to find Uncle Elijah, I finally found my mom. I said" Mom! Where's he?"
Mom said" Who?"
" Uncle Elijah!"
" Sweetie, what's wrong?" She grabbed my shoulders and held me,
" Dad is gonna kill Marcel, the Hollow told him to."
" Uncle Elijah is already on his way to help, it's okay." She wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tightly, I breathed heavily and started shaking.

Hope and I were playing outside, I was chasing a grasshopper again, Hope watched me till I fell and scrapped my knee. I said" Ow."
Hope said" I think I can fix it."
" It's okay, Hope, let's go inside."
I sat up and then we walked inside the cabin, smiling at each other, she handed me a napkin and I cleaned the scrap. We walked and she sat in the chair while I sat leaning against the wall and we played rock, paper, Scissors, shoot.

Once nighttime came, Mom pulled a blanket over Hope and then crouched next to me. She said" Good night, Faith." She wrapped a blanket around me and let me lay down, I smiled and then closed my eyes as she kissed my head and I fell asleep.

Episode 6
Mom was going into the French Quarter, I said" Mom, please, don't go."
She said" I will be back, okay?" She rubbed my head, and then walked out, I watched as she walked away from the door. I looked at Hope, she smiled at me and we began to play.
Once we finally went to bed, I wasn't so scared anymore .
