I do not own The Originals or Legacies.

Hope

I'm drunk. That has to be it, but I don't remember drinking that much tonight. But I must be drunk because there is no way in hell that my deadbeat dad is here. The dad who stopped talking to me 7 years ago. The dad who couldn't even bother responding to a text. He's not here right now. There is no way. But how can I deny it when he is standing right in front of me, shoving Roman against a nearby tree. Oh, shit. Roman!

"Motus!" I shouted.

My dad was flung away from Roman and landed with a thud. I ran over to Roman. He looked like he was on the verge of having a mental breakdown.

"Roman you need to get out of here. I'll explain everything later," I told him.

"But-," he started to argue.

"There's no time just go. I'll find you later," I snapped at him.

He vamped away.

I took a deep breath and turned to face my dad.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I snapped at him.

He stood up and wiped the dirt from his pants. He kept his eyes on the ground, refusing to look at me.

"I asked you a question. What the hell are you doing here?' I asked again.

He looked taken back at my aggressive attitude, I couldn't care less. When you abandon someone, especially your daughter, you lost the right to have any respect.

"You know, it's one thing to not look at me, but it's another to not even respond. I don't know why you are here and frankly I do not give a damn. So, why don't you just crawl back into that hole of yours and stay there," I growled at him and pushed past him.

As I walked past him he grabbed ahold of my wrist.

"Hope, wait," he said.

I yanked my hand away.

"Don't touch me. Now, why are you here?" I snapped at him.

He finally looked up at me, his blue eyes piercing into mine.

"Hope, your mom is missing," he told him.

My heart sank. No, she can't be missing. I just saw her this morning.

"Missing? What do you mean she's missing? Who took her? Where is she?" I cried.

My dad grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eye.

"We will find her, Hope," he told me.

As we stood there, I began to hear soft whispers fill my head. To faint to understand what they were saying but loud enough to hear them.

My dad immediately took a step back.

"We're too close," he whispered and began to walk away.

Enraged. I began stomping towards him.

"So that's it then, huh? You finally see me after 10 years and that's all you have to say? No, "How are you", no "I missed you", and absolutely no explanation as to why you've completely cut me off the last 7 years? You just come to drop this bomb on me and walk away?" I yelled at him.

"Hope! It's dangerous to be together! Just being near you could be killing you!" he shouted back.

"Then why come here at all? You could of just left a note or something? So why come? Why ruin my date?" I yelled back.

He growled when I mentioned the word date.

"You are 17 years old, you are too young to date," He told me.

"Wow, I'm surprised you even know how old I am seeing as you don't even bother sending me birthday cards anymore. Not even a phone call to wish me Happy Birthday. Besides, who I choose to date is none of your god damn business! You lost the right to have any power in my decisions the second you abandoned me. You know what, this conversation is over. You're not even worth the calories I burn talking to you. Now if you'd excuse me, I'm going to go look for my mom," I glared at him. (Anyone recognize this line?)

As I pushed past him again I could hear him shout my name. Tears began to spill out of my eyes as the memories of my past began flooding back in.

7 Years Ago

"Happy Birthday, my sweet girl," said my mom, who entered the room with my breakfast.

On the plate was eggs, bacon, hash browns, and pancakes. The pancakes had a smiley face drawn on them with whipped cream. She did this every year. Because I was currently at the Salvatore School, my mom would come every year on my birthday and wake me up with her special breakfast and we would spend the whole day together with my best friends Lizzie and Josie. ( In this story Lizzie, Josie, and Hope are going to be best friends because I personally think that together they could be such a badass trio).

I jumped out of bed and gave her a big hug.

"Thanks Mommy," I said, kissing her on the cheek.

"Has daddy called yet," I asked her.

My dad always called me first thing in the morning on my birthday.

She smiled.

"Not yet sweetie."

After I ate my delicious breakfast, I got ready for the day and my mom and I took a walk around the school.

We met up with Lizzie and Josie who each gave me a gift. I hugged them both and all three of us jumped into the small lake that was on the Salvatore property.

"Happy Birthday, Hope," said Lizzie and Josie.

"Thank you!" I responded and we began splashing each other.

As the day went on it soon became bedtime. My mom tucked me in and kissed me goodnight and as I was following asleep I remembered how my dad never did call me.

Present Day

Hope

As the years went on and more birthdays passed I eventually came to the realization that my dad was just not going to call anymore. It hurt like hell but its not like there was anything I could do to change that.

Tears began to fall faster and I didn't even realize that I made it back to school until someone pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Hope? What's wrong," asked a voice.

I turned to see my bestfriend Josie. The second I saw her I broke down.

Josie pulled me away from prying eyes and led me into her and Lizzie's room.

"Hope what happened?" she asked me, concerned.

I wiped the tears from my face.

"It's my mom. She's missing," I cried.

Josie's eyes widened.

"What? But how is that possible? I just saw her this morning in my mom's office?" she asked me.

"Me too. She had a meeting with your mom because I blew off that douche Ian's eyebrows off. I stomped out of the room and hadn't talked to her the rest of the day. I was sitting with Roman by that old house you and Lizzie found when I found out she was missing," I told her.

She hugged me even tighter.

"How did you find out?" she asked me.

"My dad...he's back."

TADA! I hope you enjoy this chapter! So there will be some differences between The Originals and this story. In this story, Hope was not the one who kidnapped her mom and Henry is not a hybrid. Josie, Lizzie, and Hope are bestfriends because I personally think together they could be such badasses. I also may bring Rafael, MG, Penelope, and Kaleb early into the story because I love their characters, especially MG. Also Hope will be the same age in this story as she is in Legacies, along with Lizzie and Josie. Also I'm making Hope a more of a "zero fucks" type of girl because that's how I wished she was in The Originals. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter! Make sure to review!
