Ripple Effect

Prologue

Davina Claire never thought she could be capable of so much hate, but yet she hated Klaus Mikaelson with every fiber of her being. She wanted him dead, and she'd go to any extent to kill him, but only after her friends were unlinked to him. She had a spell, a plan, one that would unlink her friends from the bond they shared with the original hybrid. Mikael on the side had different ideas. He could care less about the survival of young witch's friends, he just wanted that abomination he believed to be his son at a time dead. Nothing would stop him, but yet the bracelet on the young Claire witch had enough magic to control him.

"I can kill him of you'd just let me go." Mikael said, watching the young witch try to unravel the spell.

"No, I have to free my friends from Klaus, then you can take any pleasure you want to kill Klaus. By all means, torcher him-after I free my friends." Davina sternly said, holding up the parchment. "I think I have it, but I'm not sure."

Mikael rolled his eyes, "Then get with it witch."

Davina refrained from rolling her own eyes, "Can you go wait outside?" Davina asked with a smirk, amused when the Original Hunter obeyed and existed the room. With a deep breath, Davina took the parchment into her hands and recited the spell, chanting as the candles lit up in sync in their circular formation. Slowly, Davina undid the vial of blood that belonged to Klaus, one that Marcel kept, and she poured it into a bowl.

"Pareizrakstības saistās, burvestību, kas unbinds
Izņemt tos, kuri ir saistoši
Atvest zaudēto un aizmirsta
Pagriezt laiku atpakaļ
dzēst vēsturi
Creat jaunu dzīvi"

Then suddenly the fire died out, the room became dark, and the blood dispersed into nothing, evaporating into the air. Davina panicked, that couldn't happen, she couldn't get her hands on anymore of Klaus's blood, no she wouldn't be able to. She couldn't unbind her friends, and soon enough Mikael would break free and kill Klaus and probably her too for binding him.

That's when Davina flew back, along with all the furniture in the room. Glass shattered, and a light engulfed the room, a light so bright it burned Davina's eyes, causing the witch to shield her eyes and groan at the pain in her leg. There was a loud ringing in her ears, and suddenly, the world faded to black as a pair of heeled boots made their way towards her.

―――

Distantly Davina heard two people arguing, one growling defensively and the other one taunting with a playful tone. A voice Davina had never heard before, causing the witch to pry her brown eyes open to narrow in on the brunette that perched on the couch's arm rest, who was grinning at the door. Davina glanced over to see Mikael growling at the door way, snarling at the girl who only looked to be around seventeen.

"Keeping vampires as a pets is a nasty habit darling, you should break it." The girl grinned, looking over at Davina, her brilliant blue eyes twinkling. "Can you tell me the purpose of bringing me here, Davina Claire?"

"Who are you?" Davina whispered, feeling threatened. It was because of that feeling Davina tried to throw the girl into the wall with her magic.

The stranger smirked, "Your magic had been disabled temporarily, like how he has been exiled outside where he should be at."

"Shut your mouth you little wench!" Mikael growled, causing the girl to roll her eyes.

"I grow tired of your voice." She sighed, flicking her wrist and watching as the Original Hunter fell to the floor with a broken neck. Then she refocused her attention on to Davina, who watched in mild fear. "Davina, you brought me back to life, may I ask why?"

Davina grew confused, "I didn't mean to bring anyone back to life, I was trying to unbind my friends from Klaus."

At that the girl perked up at the name, her blue gaze narrowing on Davina, trying to decide what she was up to. "What game are you playing? Is that what you brought me back for? To kill my own father?"

"Klaus is your father? Impossible, his daughter died a few months ago, and she had been an infant." Davina whispered, and then suddenly she was pinned against the wall with her air being cut off. Though the girl sit remained in the same spot she was, frowning. Davina could see she was deep in thought, trying to figure this situation out. Even Divina was confused on what was going on, she hadn't meant to bring anyone to life. "Your name is Hope, right?"

"What year is it?" Hope asked, ignoring Davina's question.

"2014." Davina answered as she was released from the wall.

"The year I was born…" Hope whispered. "In possible, not only did you bring me to life, but you brought me back to the past." Then Hope replaced her awe with another frown. "If you brought me back Davina, you just changed time and space. Now that you know me, who I am, it changes all of our futures."

Davina nodded, "I didn't mean to, I just wanted to unbind my friends from Klaus."

"News flash Davina, you don't win. Klaus doesn't die." Hope hissed, and took in a deep breath. "We need to figure out how you brought me back. How did you even bring me back?"

Davina merely shrugged, "I tried to reverse spells, and I combined them, and then suddenly everything went black."

Hope nodded and held out her hand, standing up." Hand the spell over to me."

Davina silently went in search for the parchment that had been hidden somewhere along the mess of the furniture. She was wondering what this changed, what bringing Hope back meant, and that's when it occurred to her, Hope had said she'd been brought back to life, which meant she had been dead. What happened in the future?

"I did die." Hope said bluntly, causing Davina to look at her bewildered. "I die in the year 2026, trying to save a werewolf I fell in love with. He had been in my life when I turned into a hybrid, he helped me so much. We were close, but I failed to see the bigger picture."

Hope sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. Davina then knew, Hope had been betrayed, stabbed in the back, but before Davina could ask, Hope continued her tale.

"I had only recently met my parents, and they didn't approve of him, they didn't like him nor trust him, but I defended him. I defied the ones who sent me away, and I left once again with someone who had been by my side for years." Hope smiled sadly. "You and I were close Davina, you supported my decision no matter how stupid it was. You were the reason why I came back to New Orleans, but life got to complicated. My father having feelings for Cami who had feelings for Marcel who had a past with my aunt Rebekah. Then there was my Uncle Elijah, who had feelings for my mother who was set to marry a werewolf she was arranged to marry from birth."

"How did you die?" Davina asked, forgetting about the parchment.

"Love is a vampire's greatest weakness, as it is for a hybrid." Hope grimly whispered. "His name doesn't matter, but he was someone my parents did not approve of, seeing as he had a long history with my father. In the end, he chose revenge over me, and it got me killed. I died by the hands of a witch, who was hell bent on sacrificing the life of the first born in each generation." Hope smiled at Davina. "But you brought me back, and gave me this second chance, you took away the beasts inside me, and I thank you for that. Being a werewolf and a vampire stripped me of my magic, and my magic makes me who I am."

Davina nodded, questions forming in her mind, "How did you become a hybrid?"

Hope laughed, a genuine smile on her face, "Oh the déjà vu of that question D. That was the first thing you ever asked me when we meet, and I wouldn't hesitate to tell you again. In all reality, had been fifteen at the time, had a bad background with the bad cliché foster parents. My whole life is quite cliché really, I had been moved around a lot in the foster system. From New York, to Los Angeles, to a small town in Florida. I cracked when I was fourteen; I started with the drugs, simple things like weed. Then at fifteen I spiced up my sex life with a little help from my best friend, tequila.

I was at a rave one night; this girl who supplied me needed a date so I complied. I didn't mind a good party; I didn't see the harm in it. I had my magic if anything happened, but sometimes magic isn't always the answer. Long story short, I got into this fight, and it was a random ass fight if girls and guys. We were just hitting each other, being drunk and high didn't help at all either. It was when I guy upper cut me, knocking me to the ground, I lost it. My heart was racing at a dangerous pace, and I saw his foot coming close to my head, and I reacted- my magic reacted. He flew, he hit this metal pole hard, and it was too loud to hear the thump, but in the strobe lights you couldn't mistake the blood. The blood that pooled at his head, and I got my ass out of there."

"That's when you became a werewolf." Davina pointed out.

"Yes. To become a vampire, you have to die with vampire blood in your system. I was born with the vampire blood in my system; only I hadn't died so there was no effect." Hope answered.

Davina's eyes widen, "Meaning you had to die."

"I was killed." Hope corrected with a nod. "I was being tracked by a werewolf hunter unknowingly, and then when I was transforming on my third moon, he killed me to teach his student. I came back later that night as a hybrid, the bloodlust strong. I learned to control it eventually, and I lived out my life, and the rest is history."

Davina saw the parchment to her right and quickly snatched it up. She trusted Hope, even if she was Klaus's daughter, she just told her life story. That alone showed that Hope had her faith and trust in her, and Divina felt proud about that. "How does you coming here change the future?"

Hope grabbed the parchment when Davina offered it, reading over the scroll and analyzing the words. "Honestly darling, I have no fucking clue. All I know is I died, I came back here, and the future is unclear to me. I don't know what will happen, but all I know is that I'll cease to exists."

"What do you mean?" Davina asked.

Hope didn't answer, but she read the spell out loud "A spell the binds, a spell that unbinds. Unlink those who are bound to. Bring back the lost and the forgotten. Turn back time. Erase history. Create a new life." Hope furrowed her eyebrows. "You used my father's blood for this… you brought me back, because this spell brings back the lost and forgotten of the person's blood, that was the flaw in your spell."

Davina's eyes widen, it all made sense. She brought back the very thing that was lost to Klaus, and that was currently his infant daughter, and then it hit her. Davina's head wiped up and looked at Hope in alarm, because if she was here now as a seventeen year old witch, alive and well then there would be a ripple effect. "You'll seize to exist."

"How so?"

"Baby Hope, she'll just fade." Davina said.

"Because I'm here now." Hope whispered, her knees going weak. "I should be dead, this will mess up everything. This will mess up all your futures!" Hope groaned. "Davina, we need to fix this."

Davina shook her head, "No, we don't know how to and the last thing we need is to mess with time and space even more."

"Then you shouldn't have in the first place Davina!" Hope shouted. "You are not strong enough to take on my father, you are weak right now, you don't know the outcome of this like I do-"

"You said it yourself; you being here can change the outcome! Maybe you can help me unlink my friends."

"So you can kill my father?" Hope asked bitterly, smirking. "Oh darling, one thing you should know- blood is thicker than water, but you wouldn't know that- your mother tried to sacrifice you. Marcel saved you, only to banish you to an attic, and now you are hell bent on killing my father because, well I can't even keep the reasons straight anymore."

"Hope, please-"Hope cut Davina off with a sharp look.

"I died before I even knew my family." Hope took a step closer to Davina, menacingly. Her magic then surrounded Davina, and as if in a void, the oxygen decreased and Davina's world spun on its axis. "And I'll be damned if I let that happen again."

Hope watched with regret as Davina fell to the floor, unconscious. Hope sighed and brushed some of Davina's brown hair from her face, "I'm sorry Davina, but you just don't seem to understand. Family is something I never had, and you always told me to try and the first time I didn't listen- I died. You've given me a second chance, even if you didn't mean it, and I won't let you take it from me. For that, I am sorry." Hope sighed, glancing at Davina's bracelet. "I hope you understand the shit you just put yourself in, because this bracelet will mean nothing now for you."

With that, Hope grasped Davina's wrist with the bracelet, and chanted. Within seconds the bracelet switched onto Hope's right wrist and with a few simple words, Hope now controlled Mikael, demanding him to believe he had his freedom and to leave Davina the hell alone. She knew this was putting her father in jeopardy, but it didn't matter now. He was a big boy, a man that could fend for himself, but Davina was naïve at this age, just like Hope, but Hope had the wisdom of the future, and for now that was all she needed.

All that hope, all that wisdom, Hope would use it to navigate herself in this new life. This new chance. She'd stay hidden until she was found, and she'd be the angel she failed to be. This time she wouldn't mess up, for to love is to destroy. Family above all.

Always and forever.
