Baby Hope will never be safe if she stays in New Orleans, Rebekah thought to herself.

After Rebekah took Hope away when she was less than a year old under klaus, her brother, command, she grew a bond with the littles baby.

Herself, wishing she could live a normal, non supernatural life, was determined to let the little baby live a normal human existence.

Rebekah faked her and the babies death and fled from New Orleans.

"Get down here Hope Nicole Mikaelson!" Rebekah called from the kitchen.

"Coming!" Hope, almost 15 years old rushed down the stairs, "Chill Aunt Becks."

"It's your first day of high school and your going to be late!"

Hope knew that her parents gave her up, and she never intended on finding them. Rebekah to Hope that her father was a drug addict and her mother was mentally ill, so they didn't want her, and she was fine with that, it was her and her aunt. Hope was happy.

Rebekah also intended on keeping he hybrid side dormant, and not teaching her about magic. She knew that the only way to really keep Hope safe was to completely cut off contact with her powers and not teach her about the supernatural life. Hope lived a sheltered, happy life.

The door bell rang and standing in the door way was a girl with blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes.

"Alli!" Hope screamed well hugging her best friend she hasn't seen all summer.

"High school!" Alli said with excitement. "I can't believe were in high school!"

The two girls ran out the door with excitement.

Hope had always been popular, not because she was mean, but because she was nice and had a spark of personality in her smile.

"So, guess what!" Alli said with excitement, "I am going to New Orleans for vacation!"

"Your so lucky!" Hope said.

"And your coming!"

"I have to ask my Aunt, but I am sure she'll be fine with it!"

The two girls sat in the car and were already planning what they were going to do in New Orleans, but Hope didn't know that her birth parents lived there.

When Hope go home from school she rushed in and asked Rebekah if she got go immediately. Her aunt was hesitant on letting her go because most people thought she was dead.

"Please, Please, Please Auntie Becks!" Hope said.

"I feel like its unsafe and your to young to go alone."

"But I won't be alone, Alli and her parents are going." The young girl pleaded to her Aunt.

Rebekah knew that without giving Hope some kind of explanation, she would never win the battle. "Okay, I guess. But you promise no parties, and stay away from the French Quarter." Without asking any question because her mind was filled with excitement, Hope rushed up stairs started to pack.
