Lizzies POV
i remember these eyes, i don't know who's they are and i cant remember looking at a person with them but i can feel it and i can see it. I can feel this emotion, this sudden heat in my cheeks and a chill down my spine, this feeling of calmness and clarity rushes through me and in a second its gone, in a second I'm alone again with my head spinning. This confusion runs through me as the walls of my dorm start shaking, the panic hits my body in a second and i collapse, paintings are smashed on the ground and the lights bulbs have blown, then nothing, back to silence. Josie comes rushing through our door asking what happened but i just stare at her, tears running down my cheeks and as she smiles at me, telling me its okay, that everything will be okay a single word comes to my mind, a single word that gives me the ability to show a small smile, hope.
4 weeks after hope jumped into Malivore
Normal POV
Alaric looked up from his desk when he heard a small knock at his office door "come in", as the door opened Josie walked in with worry evident on her face "honey, whats wrong?" Alaric asked with obvious concern, standing from his seat and walking over to her. "Its Lizzie, dad, she's getting worse." Alaric sighed as he realised what his daughter meant.
Over the last month Lizzie's 'episodes' have been happening more and more, with no apparent reason why. There has been no monster attacks, everyone at school had settled down and Josie and Lizzie were closer then they've been in a while. Not only were they occurring more, they were also getting worse, with each fit Lizzie seemed to get stronger like something inside her snapped without meaning to. Alaric feared it was the merge causing her distress, after 16 years of hiding such a dangerous secret from his girls he finally told them, though he doesn't exactly remember why.
After a minute of silence Alaric lifted his head to Josie, "ill talk to her, try and see whats happening in that head of hers." Josie nodded before walking out of his office and shutting the door. He didn't know what to do anymore, he didn't want to admit it but with Lizzie's episodes getting worse she was becoming a danger to the school and herself. He had to figure out what was going on but didn't know how when she wouldn't talk to him. Over the last few years he had drifted away from his daughters, focusing on his school and the other students which seemed to have a major effect on Lizzie since Caroline was also MIA most of the time.
He wasn't sure how to handle everything going on though, it wasn't just his worry for his daughter stressing him out, it was all the bizarre stuff around campus that kept on occurring. First all the monster attacks seemed to suddenly stop without a reason, not to mention him feeling like half his memories were gone. He couldn't remember how the school had defeated a single monster. Hell he couldn't remember what he'd spent half his time doing over the last couple of years. Something was going on, even the students seemed to be confused half the time, like they didn't know what had happened or acting as if they'd forgotten something.
After sitting in his chair for what seemed like hours he decided to pick up the phone and call Caroline, he didn't know how to connect with a teenage girl who seemed to be hell bent on keeping her feelings hidden from him and he needed help.
Back at Malivore
Hope wasn't sure what had happened, there was just this light, for the first time in what seemed like forever there was light in the black hole that seemed to be swallowing her so she took the risk and followed it. Considering everyone says to not go towards the light hope was slightly cautious, but even death seemed better then an endless pit of nothingness. When she reached the source of the light she smiled for just a second before she felt like her life was replaying over in her head, memories she had hidden away in a lock box in the back of her mind playing in order like she was there. She felt like she was screaming, her mouth opened wide and her lungs wanted air but nothing was coming out she was still surrounded by utter silence. The last memory to play in her mind was saying goodbye to her dad before darkness once again devoured her.
She didn't know how long it'd been, she didn't know what had happened but she suddenly jolted awake in the middle of the cement floor where Malivore used to be, she was moving her head from side to side constantly trying to figure out what was going on. It was like it had all been a nightmare, a terrifyingly real nightmare. Her brain knew different though, she knew deep down it had all been real, every single second. From killing Landon, to calling Alaric, right down to jumping into Malivore with Clarke.
She once again looked around her, taking in her surroundings. Malivore was gone, destroyed, her plan had worked, but if her purpose was completed why was she still here. She wasn't sure, but she had a smile on her face regardless. The smile on her face was genuine as it sunk in that she could return to the Salvatore school, to Alaric and her friends and everyone who would no longer remember her, the painful truth suddenly sunk it. She was gone, wiped from existence, even if she was somehow still here Malivore's magic still would've taken effect. Wiped everyones mind from knowing that a Hope Mikaelson, daughter of the 1000 old hybrid and a lone wolf ever existed, and that stung more than anything. More than having to say goodbye to Alaric or thinking about never seeing Landon or the school ever again. The thought of being right in front of everyone but not having anyone even Alaric or Landon know who she is, made her wish she had stayed in that pit, forever.
