Hope was sitting alone on the balcony of her hotel, looking off over the streets of New Orleans. This was for sure her last night in the city for awhile, and knowing she had to leave more people she cared about behind. Kind of hurt. But it as for the safety of herself, and the people she loved. After Katherine had told her people were trying to track her, she knew she had to run. The only thing she was waiting on was Jake. Jake has always been in Hopes life. Since the day she was born. Jake had made a promise to Katherine to always protect Hope. Even over herself. All of these thoughts were going threw her head until she was snapped out of it by the sound of someone knocking on the door. She had sat her coffe down as she walked over looking threw the peep hole of the door. A very bright smile came soon her lips as she seen Jake. Hope hadn't seen him for months and she missed him more than anything. She opened the door and the first thing he did was life her up into his arms. Pulling her into a tight hug. "Jake, remember I'm human. And your a vampire. Your hug is just a little to tight you don't wanna break me" she giggeled softly as he say her down "God I have missed you!" He said in the most excited tone she had ever herd. "Everyone back home at the club have been worried sick. We knew you were safe here but we still worry" he smiled warmly at her. "Are you packed?" He asked, looking over her shoulder he seem her bags already knowing the answer to that. "Of corse. I knew I couldn't keep you waiting. Or everyone back home waiting" she walked back pulling one of her bags over her shoulder, but Jake swiftly took it off. "I'll get them. I am the Hybrid here." He smirked extending his fangs slightly as he laughed. "I've just got a few more things to grab, then I'll be down" she smiled as he started down to the car with her bags. Hope went back into her room grabbing her backpack and diary off the side of the bed. She made sure she had everything in there. "Vervain.. Stakes, wolfs bane.. Check." She shoved her diary in the bag putting it over her shoulder, grabbing her wallet and leaving the room key on the bar as she walked out.
Jake was waiting outside, leaned up against the car waiting for her. "So you still have my Camero huh?" She laughed as he opened the door for her, stepping inside as he got in on the driver side. "Well, it's going to be along time till we get there and you don't look like you've gotten much sleep, so you should sleep. I'll wake you up if we stop for food. Or if we get there earlier than expected." She smiled at the thought. All she wanted to do was smile. She had her best friend again. And she was going home. Well, a club wasn't really home. But she was used to it. She opened it years ago as a place for everyone to fortify. A supernatural club. And with as many vampires, witches and hybrids she had on her side protecting her. That was the one place everyone could fit in. Humans were aloud yes, but only if they were brought with someone supernatural. And Hope made it clear they couldn't be a blood bag. She hated when vampires fed on people. Drinking from blood bags was one of her strictest rules. There weren't many, but that was one that had to be followed unless it was absolutely nessisary. She had people feed from her sometimes. But only when she would crate hybrids or when someone needed it direly. Most people, vampires and all never really understood how Hope could make hybrids. But she honestly never got it either. If a wolf drank her blood before they died, they would be a hybrid. Still, theyd have to drink it once they turned to. But she was used to that. And each one she tuened would be sired to her. She never made any wolfs become a hybrid against there will, it was always there choice. But once they were all turned. None of them ever wanted to break the sire bond. Which Hope hated. She didn't like everyone just doing what she asked. She would try not to ask them of anything, because to her they weren't just protecters who served for her or anything. Each person there. Was her family. And she would protect her family with her life. And they would do the same. Being kind of the leader for everyone was heard work. The Wolfs all thought of her as there queen, she was the leader of the pack, but queen was to big of a title for her. But they still called her that any way. For the Vampires, Hope was called there princess or Queen. And lastly, for the Witches, she was there leader. The coven leader. But to follow along, they called her there queen to. Hope hated all these titles, and how people would do just as she wanted. She kind of felt like a queen honestly. But she didn't want to. She knew when she took on all of this, agreeing to be leader of the pack, witches and vampires that it would be a lot of hard work. But she still never gave up. In the beginning, It was just maybe 20 vampires, a couple wolfs and witches that protected Hope, but the more and more people that herd her story. The more wanted to protect her. She was the daughter of a very hated vampire, she was human, well not really. But she could die like one. She was always the one to get hurt, people felt like it was there honor to protect her. Most of the people who came to protect her, were people who knew Katherine, but there were some who just wanted to. It sounds impossible right? Katherine Petrova, having a some what human daughter. Vampires can't Procreate, no. But Katherine did. Hopes father was a wolf, and he had left once he found out Katherine was pregnant. She was only pregnant for a month. And she thought that when Hope was born, she would be a vampire. But that wasn't the case. Hope was born, like every other child. But what she was, that was different. Hope had the power, of a witch. She is also a wolf, but to this day she hasn't ever had to turn on a full moon. She had her powers fight that side of her. But also, she had the speed of a vampire. How that happens it is unknown. But she also drinks vampire blood. Vampire blood keeps her strong, unlike human blood which keeps a regular vampire strong. Hope dosnt drink human blood. She refuses to. She hadn't tried it but she dosnt want to, it would just feel wrong to her. She wanted to stay pure. Up to this day Hope had never killed a human, a wolf, a witch. None of them. Only vampires. Because they always fought her, they wanted her. For her blood. And some, just to have her. To get back at Katherine. But Katherine would never let that happen. If it was the last thing she did. One last thing about Hope. She, is also a doppelgänger. Not what you think, she is not a doppelgänger of Katherine. No. There is another part to this. Back in the days, when Tatia was around all the originals. Esther had used some Petrova blood for a spell. But not only the blood of Tatia, but the blood of her sister. Elizabeth. Her blood was used to force the spell to make Klaus a wolf. Of corse she was compelled to forget this. And nore Klaus of his siblings knew. Only Esther knew, and her husband. In the process of her taking Elizabeth's blood, she killed her. Elizabeth has had many doppelgänger a over the years. But none of the Originals have ran into them. Until Hope. She had ran into some originals. But that story, will be explained later.
Hope had managed to dose off, peacefully. Dreaming about her mother, and her sister Nadia. It had been so long since she's seen them. That it made her depressed. But this dream wasn't. Jake had looked over noticing she was asleep, he smiled as he directed his attention back to the road. After a few hours of driving, Jake had gotten kind of hungry as he pulled over at a Taco Bell, knowing it was Hopes favorite. He softly nudged her, to wake her up. As she groaned opening her eyes. "Hopie. Wake up" he laughed as she leaned up rubbing her eyes softly and looking over at him. "Where are we?." She said softly. You could tell by the sound of her voice that she was still not fully awake. "I'm stopping for food. Want me to get your usual?" He asked. "Of corse.." She said kind of faintly. "Wait. Do you need any?." She held up her wrist to him as he looked at her for a moment. "Your tired, I shouldn't. I can hold out." He looked from her wrist up to her face and seen the frown on her lips. "I'm tired Jake, I'm not going to die if I loose a little blood. Your hungry. Take it." She sighed. Jake could hear the sound of her pulse and looking to her wrist he lightly took it up to his mouth, as the veins came from under his eyes, and his fangs lightly pierced her skin. The taste of her blood in his mouth was like rich gold to him. He had missed the taste so much that he just wanted more and more. But he knew he couldn't take a lot. His grip slightly tightened on her wrist, and he could tell he was going to loose control if he didn't pull back. He had to literally force himself back as he pulled her wrist away from his mouth. "Sorry.." He sighed. "it's just. Been awhile." She watched him lick the little blood left on her wrist as he bit his, putting it to her mouth to heal her. She let his blood flow into her mouth, not taking a lot like she wanted. Just enough to heal herself. She watched her wrist heal as she smiled up to him. "There. All fixed" he smiled back as he got out of the car, hope locking the doors as he did. She waited for a little while for Jake to return. But it had been like 20 minutes and he was still gone. Hope felt like there was a knot in her throat. She unlocked the door, stepping out just a little bit. Not moving away from the car, as she looked around for Jake. The sky had gotten dark being they had driven for awhile. And it was a little hard to see for her. Hope frownd as she could see I'm anywhere. But seconds later someone came up behind her grabbing he holding her by her throat turning her around as he shoved her against the car. "It seems your all alone now." He smirked devilishly at her. Hope heart was pounding and she felt like her body was froze. There was no one around to help her. She knew that she wasn't fully powerful, almost all of her magic was focused on protecting Davina and the people back in New Orleans. She was in a position she for once didn't know hoe to escape.
