"Your telling me you drove the white oak stake through Mikael?" I ask into the phone where on the other line Klaus was on as I hold Hope with my other hand gently rocking her back and forth trying to get her to take her nap

"Yes, now we have all the ingredients to kill Dahlia"

"I still feel like something is missing" I say not being able to shake off the feeling since I saw Dahlia face to face at the church

"What is it love?"

"I'm not sure" I say over the phone only to hear a clanking noise of something wooden hit glass making me change the subject "What are you doing?"

"Painting" He responds casually

"Painting?" I question as I look down at Hope who was slowly closing her eyes making me know that she was close to falling asleep for her nap

"Yes, can't one paint after murdering their father in front of their siblings?"

"Hm, I don't know. I can't relate" I say with a chuckle, I hear footsteps making me turn around to see Hayley and Jackson walk into the magic free space that is St. James Infirmary "I've got to go but call me if you need to talk"

"Will do, love" Klaus says and I end the call while placing the phone in my back pocket and place a sleepy Hope in her crib before turning to the couple who walked over to me.

"So, there is good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?" I say as we stood a few feet away from Hope so we wouldn't wake her up

"So, there is good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?" I say as we stood a few feet away from Hope so we wouldn't wake her up

"Just rip the band aid Odette" Hayley says making me nod my head

"Good news, Dahlia still doesn't know that we're here. Bad news, she's given us until tomorrow night until she comes for Hope" I say really not liking the bad news

"Well, I say we get the hell out of here" Jackson says still on the idea that we need to run away and with more time passing I was leaning towards that idea, just not yet

"Jackson, I still don't think it's a good idea, and even if I did. Freya said that Dahlia was drawn to Hopes magic. No matter where we run or how far we go, she's still gonna be able to track us. At least this place is spelled- no one can do magic here, not Hope or Dahlia."

"Sure, this place is spelled, but we've seen bigger magic than this break. I say we run while we can" Jackson says and I look over at Hayley who was agreeing with her husband. I look at a sleepy Hope which made my heart feel warm and i stick to my gut

"No, it's a risk I don't want to take. S-she's just so little. It's not fair—witchcraft, magical spells. She didn't ask for any of this" I say as I play with my crescent necklace making think of my shoulder and what my mom hid from me for my protection. "What if- what if there was a way of stopping her from doing magic in the first place?"
