Chapter 10

Empty, it was pure emptiness. Some people say you see things when you die, I have seen my parents before, when I was momentarily dead but this..this was different. It was cold, empty..dark. It was as if I could see my breath but not feel myself breathing.

Someone ran past, a familiar laugh following. "Hello?" I called, my voice echoed throughout the empty space. The laugh followed itself in the distance, it was so familiar, so young..innocent.

"I love you, always and forever" Young Hope said, two fingers met her moms. A younger version of Haley stood there, or should I say a happier more a live version. "Mom?" I questioned, moving closer to the two. It was a young me, when I had freckles and my red hair was more vibrant. Mom had hints of blonde in hers from when she dyed it, we were trying to blend in when we were fleeing.

"Come on, we have to go. They're catching up" Dad picked me up, Liam was being carried by his other arm as they disappeared. I blinked, unbelieved by the sight before me. What was going on here? What was happening?

—

"Why hasn't she woken up?" Liam asked, his eyes glassy as he looked back at the two adult figures in the room. "It takes time" Alaric answered.

"How much time is she going to need?" Theo asked, standing in the door way. He had a cast on his leg, a black swollen eye and a hand full of cuts and bruises around his body. "What are you doing up? You're suppose to be resting!" Caroline shoved the boy out of the room. "I need to be there for Liam!"

"What you need to be is in the bed, you're on bed rest"

The boy frowned "Bed rest is boring, I'd much rather be helping you guys"

Caroline sighed, looking at her son with pleading eyes. "Go rest, please"

He huffed and without another word he went back to his shared room, that was empty.

Liam never left Hopes side, his hand was always wrapped in hers as he sat there with a chair pulled up to the bed. "You need some rest, Liam" Alaric announced.

It had been 24 hours since hell broke loose on the school, they lost about 3 different students in the chaos of it all. But beside all that they also lost Hope, they lost human Hope atleast. Alaric wasn't so sure he wanted her to wake up, as an ex hunter he has seen how being a Vampire has changed former companions. And with Hope being a Mikaelson and all he was afraid, afraid of what she'd do to the school while blinded with grief of her fathers passing.

"Im not leaving her side" He said, not looking up from the girl. Her hands were cold, she was cold and he couldn't hear her heart beat no matter how hard he tried.

"I think I love her" Lizzie announced, the twins were stationed in their room. Jo was stuck in her thoughts about all that had happened but Lizzie had been passing the room for a good 30 minutes, Jo didnt know what about, quite frankly she hadn't even noticed until those words, those unspeakable words left the blondes mouth.

"L—love who?" She asked back, dreading the answer that her sister would give. "Hope, I mean..I know its crazy, shes a girl. I'm in to guys but its not insane..right? She just died, her life was ripped from her and..I was worried, I was trembling...And I never felt that before"

Jo stood up, shaking her head. "With Sebastian you did"

"That was different, this is Hope we're talking about. The girl I hated for half my life because of a stupid rumor I thought she had started"

The rumor, right. The two girls still didn't know it was Jo who had started that rumor. Theo had taken the fall for it, he's the one who saw the whole scene unfold after all. Jo just assumed it was pity that told him to take fall for the lie that the two had believed in the car ride. But it was Jo after all, it was her because she had a crush on the Mikaelson, a long time ago. A stupid crush that she didnt want her sister to find out about, simply because she didnt want her sister to take this one..this one crush from her.

But before she could even admit anything, Landon swooped in. He stole her away, he stole her heart and then Penelope stole Jo's. And the crush, she assumed went away between it all.

The brunette mumbled "Right.."

"Shes—just—shes amazing. And I have to tell her"

"Maybe not now, she has a lot going on"

"You're right, I should wait. Give her some time to adjust. Then i'll tell her..and hopefully she'll resemble those feelings back."

"Hopefully" Jo mumbled, thinking over the words her twin just spilled.

"Thank you, sis!" The blonde pranced around as if admitting her love for someone was the biggest thing to ever happen. Like it cured everything. But it was no surprise, Lizzie could have a crush on anybody that looked gorgeous...and had the confidence of a Prince.

Jo sighed, was she ever going to find love? Love that didn't do her dirty.

-

"You'll be safe here my little wolves" Dad said, they were standing outside the Salvatore Boarding School. This was the first time they had arrived, the time that dad dropped them off.

"But what about you?" Liam asked. He was so small, he had short red hair and blue eyes with freckles that had already started fading at that time.

"I'll come back, I'll always come back for you, for both of you" Their father was bent down to their level, giving them both a calming smile. He kissed their foreheads before speeding off.

"Welcome to our school, home to the Supernatural" Caroline introduced herself before the three of them vanished too, what was going on?

"Hope!" Her dad shouted, she turned around finding the older man staring down at her with worry. "Dad? Is it really you?"

"What are you doing here, love? Wheres Liam?"

"What is here? I have so many questions dad"

"This is just passing time, you're in transition"

"Transition? I died?"

He frowned "Is Liam okay?"

"I think so"

He looked down at me, his face softening.
"You're going to make it through this, little wolf. You're the toughest woman I know. You're a Mikaelson. Rough times will come ahead of you but you will over come it, remember mistakes are meant to happen"

"But dad—"

"I love you. And I am so proud of what you've become."

"Is this a goodbye?"

He smiled slightly and I had my answer, the tears already started forming in my eyes, this couldnt be a goodbye. I wasnt ready yet. I doubted I'd ever be ready, we were suppose to live together for eternity.

"Goodbye my little wolf" His arms wrapped around me vividly as my tears soaked in to his grey shirt, something he wore quite often. Then with the blink of an eye..he was gone.

I jumped awake, the brightness of the room startling me. Alaric jumped, a stern face was planted on him. Liam sat up from beside me, hope flashing in his eyes. "Its so bright!!" I hissed, covering my eyes from the light that was fluttering in. But that was just the beginning, the beginning of what I was becoming.
