Quotes
-
Freya Mikaelson : [over tea] I'm here because of a spell that Dahlia cast. Placing me in a deep sleep for a century. Only to then wake for a single year of life. I've repeated this cycle for hundreds of years. Started as a way for us to stay young... and beautiful. She said that if a witch can't be immortal, this was the next best thing. But in time... I realized that all her stories were paired with lies.
Vincent Griffith : The way you're speaking of her...
[shakes his head]
Vincent Griffith : you're saying that Dahlia's still alive.
Freya Mikaelson : She doesn't just live. She hunts. I've fled from her long ago and I've been running ever since. To Dahlia... any act of betrayal is punishable by death.
[puts down her teacup]
Freya Mikaelson : Dahlia is my cross to bear. She has no grudge against anyone but me.
Vincent Griffith : Did she ever speak to you about the curse she placed on this family? The one that says she can take the first-born of every generation.
Freya Mikaelson : Yes. But why should that concern you? Our siblings are vampires. There are no first-borns for her to take.
Vincent Griffith : Niklaus. The hybrid. He had a daughter.
Freya Mikaelson : [this news is a revelation, and her hand goes to the cristal amulet at her throat] Where is she?
Vincent Griffith : He has her hidden. Our mother filled my head with the terror of what would happen to all of us if that child had lived, and I've been searching for her, but she's been impossible to find.
Freya Mikaelson : Nothing is impossible to find, Finn. As powerful as you are, I found you. I'll need wormwood and ripple weed and a few other items.
[picks up caterpillar]
Freya Mikaelson : I've come to understand a hard lesson in our time apart. You have to let some things die...
[her hand closes over the caterpillar, and she crushes it]
Freya Mikaelson : so that others... might live...
[hand opens, releases beautiful butterfly]
