"This is Klaus, leave a message"

"Hey this is Hayley Marshall-Kenner, leave a message after the beep. Thanks"

"Leave a message for Elijah after the tone"

"Leave a message and I will try my best to get back to you. Thanks, Rebekah"

Every time anyone tried calling the Mikaelson family it had gone straight to voicemail. Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah, Hayley, Freya and Kol were all avoiding any type of phone call as they had to come together as family and make a decision.

Vincent had gone to Freya and told her about what needed to happen in order to defeat The Hollow. She needed to tell her family and she apparently had because no one could get a hold of them. Marcel had even checked the compound but they were nowhere in sight. The witch was making his round there today leaving the couple to continuously call them all day.

Since returning back into the Quarter two days ago, Violet didn't have much time left. Vincent had come by the day before to check on her where he had a lengthy discussion with Marcel. The reason she had been doing much worse than him was because she was a plain vampire whereas he was a beast. She had been doing her best to hold on but it was getting harder for her. On top of it, Marcel was starting to feel the effect of the spell and wasn't doing too good himself.

They had holed themselves in the penthouse while Vincent did a protection spell in order to keep anyone out besides himself, Josh, Sofya or a Mikaelson family member. Hoping to remain in a quiet state, they tried keeping themselves busy and in each other's company just in case something were to happen.

Violet once again was sick of lying in bed because she felt that was all she ever did anymore. With the spell draining her slowly, she didn't have that much energy to go out and run a marathon. It honestly scared her because it reminded her of the first time that she died, when she turned into a vampire. Swinging her feet off of the bed and onto the floor, she stood up wincing a little.

Walking to the middle of the floor, she paused and did a faint stretch. Violet used her vampire hearing to listen where Marcel was but she didn't hear a thing. She picked up her feet and tried to walk but instead she sunk to her knees and curled onto the floor. Pressing her hands on the cold floor, she lifted her head because she knew what was going to happen next. Violet couch dropping her head a little in pain and began to cough of up blood just like she had at St. James. She was slowly starting to not keep any blood down though Vincent told her that she still needed to drink some.

"Marcel!" She called out in between coughs hoping that she said it loud enough. It also felt like a repeat when she needed help the other day. Violet was beginning to warm up to the idea of asking for help but she still hated it. She knew she could take care of herself because she always had; it was something that just nagged at her.

Marcel of course had heard her and rushed towards the bedroom. He stopped in the doorway when he noticed her crumbled up on the floor. Stepping over, he bent down and grabbed her hair to keep it out of the blood. He rubbed her back slowly knowing that it was painful to go through. He had done the same thing some time earlier but hid it from her easily.

Once Violet was done, Marcel got up to get some towels to clean up the pool of blood that started spread on the floor. She picked herself up a little more and looked towards her chest and hands that were stained red. "I can't imagine anything worse…Déjà vu huh?" She said referring to her sickness back in 1845.

He didn't say anything because he really didn't know what to say. There were a million thoughts that ran through his head but he couldn't wrap around ne. It was hard for him to watch her go through this and know that nothing could be done. Marcel started to wipe some of the blood up and handed her one to clean herself off. "Why did you get up?" He asked as he told her to stay where she was.

"Didn't I tell you that I don't do what you ask me to? I couldn't stare at the ceiling anymore so I wanted to come out and sit with you or whatever. You know what? Why can't we just be normal for one day?" She wiped her mouth of the back of her hand then rubbed it into the towel. "We deserve better than this…This what it must feel like to have morning sickness"

Marcel raised an eyebrow and looked in her direction. Violet smiled then laughed when she saw the confusion on his face. "Sofya has been bringing me these magazines and I have been reading the weirdest articles. I really wondered about half of the things but since I'm not human I don't get to know what that feels like…You have to admit that you wanted that at some point"

"I really need to have a talk with her when she gets back" He spoke with a faint laugh. She wouldn't be Violet if it wasn't for her strange remarks. "I haven't got a hold of the Mikaelson's yet"

"Neither have I though I've only called Klaus because I'm not in the mood to listen to Elijah's fancy words"

They had remained silent for the time of cleaning the mess on the floor. Violet's tank top and shorts were stained and she needed to change. "You don't think a shower is going to kill me, do you?"

Sofya had just turned the corner which caught their attention fast. They both believed it was someone else even though there was the protection spell. She had looked at Violet paused what she was going to say. The vampire hadn't been around much and wasn't aware of the degree of desiccation they were going through. She could even tell how bad Marcel was getting. "Am I interrupting anything? Or do you need something?"

Violet hid a little behind Marcel's shoulder because she didn't want to see Sofya to see her in the condition she was in. Her skin was paling just like Marcel's was but her veins were really starting to show. She had bags under her eyes and it was very clear that she was very frail. The wound on her neck had finally healed but left a nasty scab and it looked as if it was going to leave some sort of scar.

"No everything is okay; did you get a hold of anyone?" Marcel asked.

"No but Vincent did. He's here right now so if you're up to talk to him"

Vincent had been waiting out in the living area not wanting to disturb them. He knew the degree of the situation and didn't want to intrude. He had nodded and asked if she could bring him into the bedroom. She disappeared back out into the living area and Marcel turned back to Violet.

"Let's just get you back into bed for now. Just grab onto me okay?" Marcel said and she looked t him.

"Would you rather me ruin the sheets or the floor? I think staying on the floor is the best option right now. Just handle your business with Vincent and I'll stay here. It's okay"

Violet looked up at him and offered some sort of smile. At the moment she knew how bad she was getting and would rather Marcel not be there for whatever was going to happen. It was different than the first time and this seemed to be more permanent. The reason it was more stressful was due to the fact that the Hollow's magic was powerful and was going to be difficult to break. Vincent was powerful enough but there wasn't an actual answer if he could break the spell. Even if he did, that could be in a few days, months or even years.

Vincent slowly peeked around the corner and looked towards the mess on the floor. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to come at a time like this but I got a hold of Elijah Mikaelson"

Marcel turned fully to face the doorway but didn't stand up. He didn't want to leave Violet on the floor just in case she needed him. "And? Please tell me that they agreed to do this?"

He nodded solemnly in agreement and Marcel had sighed in relief. He was thankful for that considering everyone had waited around for an answer. A part of him was hoping that once the Hollow would be defeated that the spell would go away but he knew better than to hold out hope.

"Oh yay just what I need. A fieldtrip to the compound…You think I'll have flower and get well cards?" Violet commented lifting her eyes to look between them.

"Wait a minute, you're not going. I am and you are staying here"

"Yes I am. If this is the last time that I'm going to see the Mikaelson family then I have to go. I know what the plan is and I know that I am about to die. I have to go Marcel, we both know that"

He didn't say anything before looking at her. He now sighed once again knowing that whatever he was going to say was not going to matter. Marcel debated on saying something but he just ignored the thought in his mind.

Sofya had popped back up again after hearing what was going on. She waited to say something because she thought an argument was brewing. "I can help get you ready, if that's okay with you Violet"

Marcel didn't want to rush Violet but he couldn't help it. They needed to the compound as fast as they could especially since she was rushing him. She felt the need to say goodbye just in case she never saw them again, mostly Klaus. There was still some unfinished business between them and she had a few things that she wanted to say.

Arriving at the compound was a challenge considering that neither one of them where in the shape to be out and about. As he helped her slowly into the place, the Mikaelson siblings were standing near a circle decorated with siblings.

"Just when I thought this would be a family affair" Kol commented looking over at them.

Marcel ignored his comment but leave it to Violet to glare and stare at him. "If I wasn't halfway dead I would really kick your ass right now"

They had stepped more inside the compound and that was when everyone else looked over at them. Not one Mikaelson said a word because they noticed how bad they both looked. It took Klaus a second before looking away. Rebekah almost had the same reaction whereas Elijah just stood there and watched them.

"I don't know what is more unnerving. Having all of you stare at me like I'm already in a casket or seeing Hope the innocent one in all of this" She said glancing at all of them. Marcel had walked over to the fountain and helped her sit down. Blowing her hair out of her face, she spoke again. "If you all don't mind I wanted to see this for myself"

"For what? To make sure that we are all out of New Orleans and you both can have your happy life. Told you sister, little Marcellus isn't yours anymore"

"Kol!" Klaus had shouted at his brother for him to shut up.

"What? It is the truth. They are only here so they so they can clap at our misfortune"

"We are here for Hope, not for this" Vincent spoke up seeing how this was going to go. He didn't understand why Kol and Violet never got along considering that they had never been around each other. He only assumed it was due to their egos because of course they had to have theirs in check.

Everyone turned to Vincent and it remained silent for a couple of minutes. He called held his hand out towards Freya waiting for her to step over at the spell was over. "I want to thank your family for doing this. I know Hope is your family but this not only saves her but an entire city filled with innocent people. The Hollow hasn't won, just remember that"

Freya glanced at Vincent and tried holding back the tears that were filling her eyes. It wasn't fair that she couldn't have her family stay together since they have been fighting for that for years. "I promise you that I will figure out a way to let all of you see one another again" She paused what she was saying at looked down towards Hayley and Hope. "This is for Hope…"

Rebekah had been watching her niece then she looked at each of her brothers. "Always and forever right? It's been a good run"

"You can say that again" Violet added right when she was done talking. She wasn't going to say anything but she wanted to before she didn't have the chance. "I hate to interrupt this family bonding moment but I wanted to come to say thank you. We all may hate each other at time but I am thankful for our time together. We all may never see one another again and I wanted to say my goodbyes because I don't have much time left"

She had stopped talking feeling blood hit the back of her throat. Clamping her eyes shut and putting her head down, she hoped the feeling would go away. Marcel's eyes trailed towards her and took a deep breath.

"Anyway, thank you for everything. Elijah, Rebekah, even though I don't know what to thank you for Kol and especially Klaus. Hayley…Keep Hope safe from all of this"

The Original family had all looked at Violet but no one said anything. It was a very surreal moment as everyone knew what was going to happen next. Vincent cleared his throat grabbing onto Freya's hand. "When the time comes in the spell, I want you to take her shackles off of Hope" He said looking down at Hayley and Hope. "Once that is done Freya and I will chant to split the Hollow into four parts, one going into each of you. When it is completely finished you all need to say goodbye and fast. Leave New Orleans and never see one another again"

The Mikaelson's eyes had locked on one another and Vincent waited a moment before starting the spell. They knew what they were doing but it didn't mean it didn't hurt any less. After a few sentences, he ordered Hayley to take the chains off while Freya continued chanting the spell. She did what she was told and seconds later a blue light appeared above them.

All of the vampires watched in amazement at the ritual that was taking place. The Hollow had not only caused the city a great amount of pain but everyone in it. The Mikaelson family no longer could see each other with the Hollow residing inside of them, Marcel and Violet's reign was going to come to an end. New Orleans was going to be a whole new city once all of them were gone.

The Hollow had been divided and sent into Rebekah, Klaus, Elijah and Kol's body. It nearly knocked them off of their feet as it was strong.

"You all need to go…Now!" Vincent said loud enough which led Elijah, Rebekah and Kol to leave the compound without a second thought.

Klaus had stayed in his place for a moment staring down at Hope who was just waking up. He wanted to make sure she was okay and he wasn't going to leave until he knew for sure. As she sat up straighter in Hayley' arms, a faint smile had appeared on his face.

"Klaus you need to get out of here…" The witch spoke again watching him.

"Take care of our daughter…I'll see you soon. I promise" With that, the Original hybrid ran off leaving Hope to scream for her Father to come back.out of the blood. "
