(Story follows Hope and her new life a lot)
some notes: This doesn't directly follow the originals season 4 finale. Elijah didn't get rid of his memories, he kept them. Klaus didn't stop talking to Hope. Its still 7 years later. Klaroline later on, along with more mystic falls gang (elena, Damon, Bonnie…) Klaus misses Caroline and Caroline misses Klaus. There was never Klamille or Steroline, Stefan was their best friends and Cami was Klaus's good friend the therapist. I made this idea up a while ago, before the real season 5 came out, but the story I had written was a mess so here is the cleaned up, more recent version.
Thanks!
The Mikaelson's have faced many problems throughout their years, they have fought through wars and overcame their biggest obstacles. Klaus Mikaelson never cared for anything, he thought love was a weakness and he knew they were not weak. Until one night in mystic falls changed that.
His baby girl was brought into the world, and with that she became his world. He would do anything to protect her. At first though, he wasn't as willing. He told them to kill the baby and her mother, Hayley Marshall. Elijah wouldn't take any of that though, he knew that this baby was their new hope, he knew that this baby would bring their broken family together. And so she did.
They fought for each other through thick and thin, they fought to protect their baby niece and daughter. They were the Mikaelson's and nothing could defeat them.
But what happens when a ancient spirt threatens to take over the life of their newest member? This spirit wants to plant herself into the greatest witch this world may ever see, Hope Mikaelson.
The only way this could be stopped is for the four immortal Mikaelson siblings to take a quarter each of the Hallow's power. They have to stay separate for eternity and never see each other again. Klaus cant see his daughter and Kol, Elijah and Rebekah cannot see their only niece.
She is and always will be, their only Hope.

Hope POV
My name is Hope Mikaelson. I am fifteen years old and I feel like I've gone through many life times already. My family has been separated for almost seven years now, they haven't seen me or each other since Vincent preformed the spell. I've managed to keep in touch with them though, I talk to Aunt Rebekah every few days and she tells me about her and Marcel's journeys through New York, she tells me that she thinks he's going to pop the question soon. I talk to Uncle Kol as well, he tells me how much he misses having his favorite niece around and how he's living out in California with his new wife, Davina. I talk to Uncle Elijah too, he's out in France trying to cope with the loss of his siblings and me, but us checking in is helping him out a lot. I do talk to my dad too, the most out of all of them. I call him three times a day, when I get up in the morning, when I get home from school and before its time to settle down at night. Words can't describe how much I miss him. I miss him so much I want to go to wherever he is hiding out and just hug him, not caring about the magic inside of us. He's alone though and it bothers me. It bothers me that he has no one to talk to besides me and his siblings that call him regularly.
I stay up most nights, thinking about what could've been, imagining the moment my family meets again or if they never parted. I draw and paint into the depths of the night and I cant wait to show my dad when I'm able to be in the same room as him. But for now, I'm working on bringing them back together. Freya says I shouldn't but I don't listen. I am a powerful witch, I can do much more than people give me credit for.
I go to the Salvatore Boarding School in Mystic Falls, VA. I don't stay there overnight like some people from out of town do, I have someone like my mother run me to school with vamp speed, it doesn't take long. I just don't like staying up in the rooms, its lonely and I feel better around my mom in New Orleans at the compound. I love my home, New Orleans, I used to not like it because of the loud music keeping me up at night but now its just natural. I'm not popular or anything in my school, I'm sort of a nobody. I don't have any friends, well some people I talk to but aren't close to. I go by the name Hope Marshall to keep my identity secret so I am safe and not sauntered by people asking about my family. I hear the whispers as I walk down the halls, I hear people talking about the mighty Mikaelson family and the rumors they've all heard over the years, some of which aren't even the truth. They talk about me, well they don't know that they are but they talk about Klaus Mikaelson's daughter. They all want to meet her, but they also fear her. In this school I am kind of an outcast, people don't know who I am, or they don't know what my blood line is so they think I am weak and not worth it. I am just that kid who is trying to stay optimistic in my world that is falling apart.
I want to make friends, I want someone to talk to when I don't have anyone to turn to. And I know I will never, ever get a boyfriend. My dad will one, murder the poor kid, and two, the guys in this school aren't great looking so… plus they would all think I am that girl who no one talks to. I hate being quiet Hope Marshall when I really just want everyone to know who I really am, that I am stronger than anyone knows. I don't honestly care about being popular I just hate being unknown when I know I am more powerful. I'm not like… crazy if thats what you're thinking… like if I do become popular I will blow the school away, literally. No thats not the case. I am a nice girl, I act like a typical teenager, though I am not, I am a tribrid in the world of vampires, witches and were wolves, not to mention my father is the original hybrid and my mother is the crescent wolf alpha.
But who knows… maybe one day I will find a friend that cares for me and will know who I really am, and I will find a boy who is just right for me and treats me nicely and not like an outcast…
I walked through the halls of the Salvatore Boarding School with a bag slung over my shoulder and my phone in my hand. My first class this semester is with Alaric Saltzman. I was always close to him because my family was. He cared a lot for me and I cared for him, he looks out for me and makes sure no one finds out who I am.
As I walked through the halls she noticed two new faces. A girl with long, wavy brown hair and a boy about the same height with dirty blonde hair that wasn't too short but not too long. They noticed me walking in their direction and looked up at me. The boy watched my every move and the girl hit him in the arm. I figured that he was her boyfriend and she was hitting him for looking at other girls. I don't want to admit it but I like the feeling that someone noticed me.
I brushed passed them with a small smile and entered Alaric's class room.
"Morning Ric!" I announced as I walked into the room. There were a few people in the class at the moment and more people filtering in.
"Hope, I told you not to call me that when we're in school…" Ric turned around from the whiteboard and leaned against his cherrywood desk. I walked over to the desk I usually sit at and dropped my bag.
"Fine," I turned on my heels to face him. "Sorry Mr. Saltzman." I grinned as I sat down, crossing my legs. I noticed the two people sitting on either side of me, the two people I saw in the hall earlier.
Alaric just laughed as the bell rang, signaling that everyone should be in their classes. The school itself was small, there wasn't that many kids or classes but there were a few. There was Alaric who taught the history of magic and history in general, there was Elena Gilbert-Salvatore who taught part time and Damon Salvatore who worked the other half. Elena is an MD in this town, who knew that a vampire could become a MD? Damon, he helps out at her building and over here at the school. There were a few other teachers that teach classes but my favorite was always Ric.
"Morning class, welcome to your first day of the year and I see some faces I don't recognize so welcome to the Salvatore Boarding school for the young and gifted." He started. "I am your teacher, Mr. Saltzman…-"
"I thought you were Ric." A girl snickered from the back. Avery was her name, I hate her with a burning passion. She was the 'mean girl' of the school and would always make fun of me for being a 'nobody'.
"Well, Alaric is my first name… thanks Hope for announcing it." He looked at me and I threw a little wave and slumped down a bit. I don't care if attention is drawn to me, I like my personality and I hoped that other people would too. Sure I hate the fact that people think that I am a 'nobody' and I want to change that, but there is nothing I can do except come clean that I am a Mikaelson and that will mean it could put me and my family in danger, I would become head of the school, or people will fear me and stay far away and I don't want that.
"We are going to start with a little bit of an ice breaker to get the new faces in this room acquainted with their new classmates. You have five minutes!" Alaric walked around his desk and sat in the chair as he watched his class fall into easy conversation, except for me.
I am not used to this, there were a lot of new kids in the school this year so thats why Alaric is doing this ice breaker. I looked down at my hands and wanted these five minutes to go fast. I can feel everyones eyes on me right now, that girl with no one to talk to.
"Hello." Someone said from behind me. I jumped up and turned around, surprised that anyone would want to talk to me.
"Hello." I smiled. It was the girl from the hallway before.
"I'm new to this school and I wanted to know if you could show me and my brother around at lunch later." She asked.
"Oh of course."
"Oh and I'm May, May Jordan." She put her hand out for me to shake.
"I'm Hope, Hope Mika-" I caught my tongue. "M-Marshall."
The girl chuckled. "Nice to meet you Hope. How long have you been at this school?"
"Since I was nine, its a long story but we can talk later." I smiled at her. It was great having someone to talk to. I was always that outgoing person that the teacher loves in class but no one ever got the time to know me and I think this is the chance to turn that around. "Who is your brother? You said you want me to show you two around-"
"Times up you guys!" Alaric announced as he got up from his chair.
"We'll talk later." May said as she sat down in the desk next to me. The boy she was with earlier sat back down on the other side of me too. Every boy in this school was not that cute, no offense, but he kinda…was. I felt a blush brush over my cheeks when he looked at me.
"So today we are going to start off with a basic topic… the original family." Alaric started as he wrote "the original family, the Mikaelson's" on the white board behind him. "Have you guys heard of this ancient powerful family? Raise your hands if you did." I scanned my eyes around the classroom and noticed that about half of the people raised their hands, May and that boy next to me included. My arm inched up slowly and I raised my hand along with the other fifty percent of the class. "Okay so thats about half of you, good then you guys can help me explain. I am not quizzing you or anything on this since its the first day but maybe in the future. Does anyone know what the originals mean?"
I didn't even realize I was raising my hand but Ric pointed to me. "they were the first vampires, the originals. They cannot be killed by anything but the white oak stake and the super werewolf venom from …-"
"Okay Hope…" Ric stopped me before I got too into it. "Good job you're right." Ric came around to the front of the desk and leaned against the front. "I have a little secret to share with you guys, I was an original vampire for a short time."
I couldn't believe my ears. Ric, an original? Ric a vampire?! "Um what?!" I said a bit to suddenly. "How?!"
"But if you were an original why aren't you a vampire now? The boy next to me spoke.
"Great question." He pointed to the boy. "Whats your name?"
"I'm Ash."
"Well great question Ash." Ric gave me a look and I rolled my eyes. "Well the original family came to mystic falls over a decade ago, well Elijah Mikaelson came first to warn us about Klaus."
"Why what was Klaus going to do?" May asked Ric.
"Well it turned out that Esther Mikaelson, the original siblings mother was unfaithful to her husband Mikael and got pregnant by a werewolf named Ansel. Mikael believed that it was his child, and that child was Niklaus Mikaelson."
"So that means that Klaus is also a werewolf.." A boy from the back said.
"Yes, so when Esther turned them all into vampires and Klaus made his first kill, he turned into a hybrid, half wolf and half vampire. Mikael was already abusive enough but he despised Klaus even more after finding out that he was a wolf and not his son."
"But why did he have to come to Mystic Falls?" Ash, the boy next to me asked.
"Esther made his werewolf side dormant not long after he made his first kill and he needed to break the curse. He needed to free his werewolf side so he could become a full hybrid again."
"And how did he do that?" I asked. Ive read about this in one of the books in the compound but I never knew how he broke the curse.
"Well he needed a witch to preform the spell, a vampire to sacrifice and a werewolf to sacrifice. He also needed to drain the blood from the doppelgänger."
"Who was the doppelgänger in this story?" I asked.
"Elena Salvatore, you've seen her around here, she's the MD in this town."
"But if Klaus drained her blood, then how is she alive and well?" Ash asked him.
"Well we figured out a way, its not important but she was fine. After that Klaus took Stefan Salvatore to make more hybrids. Klaus liked the way that Stefan killed people in his ripper days so thats why Klaus wanted to keep him alive. Stefan only went because he gave him the cure to a werewolf bite, which his brother, Damon, was suffering from."
"His blood." I said.
"Yes his blood is the cure."
"How did you know that?" May asked me.
I shrugged. "I've done my fair share of research."
"Later they came back to mystic falls and then Klaus let his family out of the coffins he was keeping them in. But then Elena was turned into a vampire. Klaus told Stefan about something the can fix her, since he needed her blood to make hybrids… there was a cure."
"What?!"
The bell rang saying its time for next period.
"Till tomorrow guys." Ric waved them off.
I got up to talk to Ric when I heard my name being called. "Yeah?" I turned around to May who as facing me.
"At lunch you will show us around right?"
"Of course I would love to, meet me in the cafeteria."
"Alright thanks."
May walked out of the classroom to catch up with the boy, Ash. I walked over to Ric's desk once everyone was gone. "Why did you start to teach the originals Ric."
"I thought it was time. I was supposed to teach it to them two years ago but I knew it would be hard for you, but now its been seven years since you saw them, its time Hope."
"Fine. I can help you know."
"You will?"
"I mean when we get around to Dahlia and the Hallow I can go into detail without letting them know I am the daughter of Klaus Mikaelson."
"Im looking forward to it. And I saw that you made a new friends, I'm happy for you."
"Thanks Ric, I just don't know if I can trust her yet."
"Of course, it takes time."
"I mean with my family being apart and trying to work on fixing it I have a lot on my mind."
"I understand. How is everyone by the way? I haven't talked to your father for a while."
"Everyones good. I just worry about my dad."
"And why is that?"
I adjusted my shoulder bag and stood more upright. "Rebekah is off with Marcel, they're in love. Kol is with Davina, they're married. Elijah has mom who visits now and again but dad, he has no one. He's alone with this and sure, our calls help him but he's alone. He spends his free time, alone. He sleeps at night, alone. I-i just want him to be happy."
Ric processed her words. "The time will come for him to fall in love Hope I know it."
"But I just have this feeling that he's pining after someone. On face time with him when we're not talking he's just staring at the wall, I just have a feeling that he thinking of one person."
"And maybe that person is you, Hope. Maybe he's thinking about his family."
"I get that, Ric, but he has had a thousand years to think about family, I just know he's focusing on something in particular."
"Hope you don't know what goes on inside of his mind. Maybe he is thinking about family, you, Rebekah, Kol, Elijah, Freya, Hayley, even his troubled past, you just don't know."
"I know but when I see him I-" I shut my lips quickly.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Ric tells me not use my magic to see my father, he says its not safe for me. But I am not a normal witch, my grandmother practically invented dark magic and if I want to use magic to be in the same room as my father I can.
"I told you not to."
"I know but I miss him so much, I miss all of them and I want them to be back together. Ric, you don't know what its like to be a fifteen year old tribrid with her family scattered to the four corners of the earth."
Ric took a minute to answer. "You're right I'm sorry. And I might know, if you trust your instincts, who your father is thinking about."
"What who? Ric tell me! Now!" I hounded.
"I cant."
"Why?!"
"Because she is important to me and I don't know if she wants to be dragged back into his darkness."
"Ric he's changed, you know that. I want him to be happy."
"He will be happy with you, Hope." Ric turned around and went to his desk and started writing on a piece of paper. He handed the late pass to me. "We'll talk tomorrow. Come prepared on speaking about your family tomorrow and good luck with your new friends and getting your family back."
"Thank you Ric." I smiled as I walked out of the class room.
Two hours later
Lunch
"Hope!" I turned around when I heard May call out my name. It feels like were meeting this way a lot today.
"Hey you ready?" My eyes fell on the boy next to her, Ash. He's her brother, not her boyfriend.
"Yes and Ash this is Hope, our tour guide." She teased as she introduced him to me.
I could've sworn I saw a blush on his cheeks as he reached his hand out to meet mine. "Hey Hope I'm Ash."
"You sit next to me in Ric's class right?"
"Yes I do. Why do you call him Ric? You did earlier too."
"Oh right, he's a family friend so I am just used to calling him that."
"That must be nice, having a teacher as a friend. You can persuade him into giving you good grades." May chucked as they walked out of the cafeteria.
"Well, I don't do that I usually get good grades anyway, not to like, brag." I laughed. "But Ric has known my family since before I was born so its just natural to call him Ric so I either tease him or it just slips out."
"Since you're in Mr. Saltzman's history of witchcraft class the means you're a witch right?" Ash asked me.
I couldn't say no I am actually a vampire and a werewolf too, so ill just go with agreeing. "Yes I am a witch." I am technically not lying, I am a witch, but I have the werewolf gene and vampire blood in my system. None are active except my witch abilities at the moment but they're still the other two parts of me.
"So that makes three of us." May said.
As we walked through the halls and I gave them brief descriptions on what every room was you could hear our shoes clunking against the ground. One of my favorite things ever is shoes. I love heels and wedges, combat boots and uggs. Right now I am wearing black boot heels with a four inch heel, about. They matched my outfit perfectly. There used to be a dress code in the school but just recently that code was lifted. My outfit consisted of a light denim jacket, all of the buttons open and the ends tied in a knot at the bottom, a white shirt with thin blue lines running across it and a black skirt that came just to my knees.
"And that is the Salvatore Boarding School." I closed as we rounded back to the cafeteria.
"Thank you so much for doing this." May thanked me.
"No problem it was my pleasure. I don't have many friends so thank you."
"You, you don't have many friends." Ash said in shock.
"People think of me as an outcast because they don't know where my bloodline originated from." My mom's last name is technically Leboniar so if the wolves in this school knew that I would be known but Marshall is her foster name and not a supernatural bloodline.
"Marshall? I mean it doesn't ring any bells but you're an amazing person so don't let them bother you, you have us now." Ash put his hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you guys you don't know how much this means to me."
"Do you want to hangout after school?" May asked.
"I have to check with my mom but we still have ten minutes before lunch is over so why not we get to know each other more."
"Sure." They agreed.
_
"So Hope," May started once we sat down at a table. "How do you know so much about the originals? I mean I know I asked before but that was cut short."
"Oh right, well my family and I are history buffs and the Mikaelson's are a big part of our supernatural history. Esther Mikaelson created the vampire species and practically invented dark magic, its just so interesting to learn about." I half lied, but I am telling the truth. Our family legacy is one of the greatest of all.
"You should help Mr. Saltzman speak tomorrow." Ash pointed out.
"Actually I already asked…" I knew it was going to be difficult, talking about my family who is split apart now but I'm strong and I know I can get though it.
"Hope whats your family like?" Ash asked.
I sighed. "Well my family is not a walk in the park but they are the best I could ever ask for. They may fight and grow apart sometimes, but time and again they find their way back to one another. Then I came into the picture and I brought them all together, for good, well sorta… The point is they will die to protect me and each other and I would die to protect them, that is if they would let me." I let out a low chuckle. "What about you?"
"Our mom is.. well something else." Ash held back a laugh.
"She is the craziest, most funny, most loppy person anyone could ever meet." May joined in. "She loves us dearly and would do anything for us. She is a witch, but she wants to be a vampire."
"Our dad is a trooper for putting up with her, but he has to admit that he loves her dearly and us. We may have a small family but its all we need." Ash said.
"Well I have the opposite, I have a huge family all living under one roof, sorta."
"Sorta?" They said in unison.
"Not important but I live with my mom and my dad, who are not together. My mom is with my uncle, which is fine because they love each other dearly. Also my uncle and his wife, my aunt and her hopefully soon to by fiancé, and my other aunt and her love."
"That is one big family." Ash said, sipping his drink.
"I'm still processing." May touched her head. "Hope where do you live? Maybe we could walk home together."
Damn. I knew that was going to come up. "I don't live far but my mom is picking me up today because I have to be somewhere after school." I told them. "I really wish I could though."
"Maybe you can come over one day… if you'd like.." Ash said softly, I noticed the slight blush on his face.
"I would love that." I smiled.
The bell started to ring, signaling next period.
"Lets head out guys." I said standing up.
"Right behind you." Ash followed her.
"And I'm right behind Ash." May chuckled trying to catch up.
The rest of the day went by great. Ash, May and I had all of the same classes together. I cant believe I made a friend, no not a friend, two friends and two of the best people I have ever met.
I was walking to where May told me to meet them when I heard my phone ring. I took it out of my duffel bag hung over my shoulder and saw that it was my dad.
"Hey dad whats up? I don't get home for another thirty minutes."
"Actually love I wanted to check in. I spoke to Alaric and he told me that you met a few friends."
"I did, they are the best dad."
"What are they like?"
"Well they're twin witches, one's name is May and the other is Ash."
"Ash? He better not touch you."
"Dad dad dad, its not like that." I said through clenched teeth. So what if it was? He couldn't do anything about it except call him…
"Good, but of course sweetheart if you do like this boy I would give you two my blessing, after I meet him that is."
I paused and stopped in my tracks. "what did you say?"
"N-nothing love, I want to talk to you more later but I have a surprise waiting for you back at the compound."
"alright ill be home soon, mom is picking me up."
Klaus sighed on the other line. "Good luck Hope, I'll see you soon."
"Virtually, you mean you'll see me virtually soon."
"Uh sure, see you later love."
"Bye dad." I hung up the phone. I was coming up to where Ash and May were waiting, the front of the school by the entrance. We were going to walk out together.
"So good first day guys?" I asked as I approached them.
"Very. Thank you for everything." May said.
"No problem guys, and thank you again for wanting to be my friend."
"Our pleasure." Ash smiled warmly.
"Do you guys need a ride home? Or can you walk." I asked.
"We don't live far so we can walk." May told me.
We pushed open the doors to the school when we were officially dismissed and walked out into the day light. I love mystic falls, the town seems so innocent but its really not. Most people probably think, its mystic falls, nothing bad ever happens here. But bad things do happen here.
Some people stay over night in little dorms might you say, and if people live locally, like Ash and May they walk home or get picked up.
We were walking along the sidewalk when I saw something. I heard Ash and May chatting in the background but it was all babbles to me in this moment. I blinked a few times and pinched my arm to make sure I wasn't dreaming, I wasn't. There before me was a man dressed in a lovely suit.
Elijah.
