The Price to Rise


January 23, 2036

Blurriness was all she could see as she began to wake up on the floor with a cuff on her arm that she has no clue where she is. What makes it worse is that there are no doors or windows that she began to bang the wall with her hands.

"LET ME OUT! SOMEBODY HELP!" She yelled as she continues to bang the wall with her hands till she dropped on the floor with tears.

"Why am I even here? Who would do this to me?"

Her alarm started to go off as she sat, and grabbed her glasses yawning a bit while stretching her legs and arms. It was her first day of High School, and she knows it's going to be the usual everyone forgets that she even exist life.

"First day. First invisibility." She said as she got out of bed, and changes into her school clothes slipping her shoes on while grabbing her trapper keeper, and phone. She noticed that her parents already left, but she understands that they have to stop crimes in Storybrooke as she grabs her breakfast, and ate before getting her house keys then leaving the house heading to school.

"Good morning Stefan." Claire said as she kisses her boyfriend Stefan the second born son of Philip and Aurora and younger brother of Philip Jr. Hope walks by seeing the two along with Claire's posse, and Claire secretly moves her foot in Hope's way causing her to trip and fall on the floor.

"Enjoy your first day of Fall wannabe loser." Claire taunted her as Hope stood up, and went to the girl's room going to the first stall to cry.

The first day of High School is back and Hope has returned from summer camp. Claire was making out with Stefan as their usual first day kiss.

"Looks like I have to be ready for the wannabe's first day trip to the floor." Claire said as she giggles while one of her posse friends kept a lookout for her.

"Oh my god!" Zenya said as Claire, Stefan, and Samara turn around to see who Zenya was shocked seeing. Walking down the school hallway was Hope with a new look her hair is much shorter, she ditched her glasses, and wearing more stylish clothes along with heel sandals along with a tote bag as she walks by smiling to them as Claire almost tried to trip her only for Hope sidestep from Claire.

"Trying to make me have a nice fall?" Hope said as she walks to the restroom then takes out her make up kit to put on her eyeliner.

"Goodbye wannabe Hope. Hello new Hope."


September 4, 2035

First day of High School, and Hope arrived seeing Zenya, Samara, and Stefan at their locker as she kisses her boyfriend Stefan.

"Good morning Stefan." Hope said as she continues to make out with him till she started to feel ill, and her breakfast coming up.

"Hope you okay?" Stefan asked as she covered her mouth running to the girl's room with Zenya and Samara following her till Hope slams the stall door locking it as she began to throw up in the toilet. After she finished, and flushed the toilet she walked out of the stall going to the sink.

"You never threw up like that since the bonfire, and you only had one drink." Zenya said as Hope finished washing her hands, and fixing her hair while cleaning up her mouth from the remains of her vomit.

"I'm late." Hope tells them.

"But class hasn't started yet." Zenya said to her.

"No I'm late as in my period is late." Hope said with tears.

"I think I think."

"You think what?" Samara asked.

"I think I'm pregnant." Hope said as Zenya and Samara comfort her as Hope cries.

Lunch finally arrived as Hope grabbed her lunch, and tried to find a spot to eat, but every time she tried the students mostly blocked the seats with their backpacks or something disgusting. Sighing, she walked to the only empty table left for her to eat only for the popular clique.

"I'm sorry this is only for the popular ones not for wannabe losers like you." Claire said as she poured her drink on her head.

"Go eat outside like the loser you are." Claire said as she walked outside, and ate by herself with tears in her eyes.


September 5, 2034

Lunch arrived as Hope grabbed her lunch, and she began to find a seat some want her to join them for lunch while others think their table is not worth for someone who looks good.

"Hey Hope over here." Zenya said as Hope smiled that she went to sit with them just as Claire arrived to have a seat only to see Hope sitting with them.

"Um what's she doing in my seat in the popular table?" Claire asked.

"We invited her to eat with us." Samara said to her.

"Well she is clogging up the table so she needs to get lost and eat outside."

"Yeah about that we decided to let you go."

"What!?"

"Yeah I think Hope is better in the group than you so goodbye." Zenya said as Claire slammed her tray on the table causing Hope, Stefan, Zenya, and Samara jumped while making everyone else in the cafeteria look over at the popular table as she glare at Hope.

"This isn't over Hope not by a long shot. You may think that you're popular, but you'll always be the wannabe loser." Claire said as she grabbed her tray and walked away as Hope felt a bit threatened by her.


September 4, 2034

At lunch Hope was eating nervously from her food.

"Slow down Hope."

"Sorry is that just what if I am pregnant?" Hope asked quietly to Zenya and Samara.

"You sure you're not in denial?" Samara asked her.

"No because the only person I had sex with was Stefan." Hope quietly said as she scarfed down her French fries.

"Maybe after school you should go to Star's pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test." Zenya suggested as Hope nodded then Stefan arrived at the table.

"Hey did I miss something?"

"Oh it's nothing."

"Yeah it's mostly girl stuff."

"Yeah it is."


September 6, 2033

Hope arrived home after as she heard her parents in the kitchen.

"Hey Hope, how was your fir-." Before her mom Emma could answer Hope completely ignoring her as she went upstairs and slammed the door locking it as she got to her bed and cried on her pillow.


September 5, 2034

After school Hope got home with a smile on her face seeing her mom Emma and her dad Killian.

"Hey Hope, how was school?"

"It was great, and I got to sit at a lunch table for once. I'm going to head upstairs and do my homework before dinner." Hope said as she goes upstairs and closes the door while screaming happily.


September 6, 2035

After school Hope headed to Star's pharmacy buying herself a pregnancy test, and got home not hearing her parents thinking they might be home late. She headed upstairs dropping her things in her bedroom while heading to the bathroom closing the door, locking it as she opened the box, and takes the pregnancy test while waiting. She starts to get worried about her and Stefan if she is pregnant. Once the alarm on her phone went off she grabbed the pregnancy test then takes a deep breath.

Please be negative. Please be negative.

As soon as she looks at the pregnancy test that her worries are what she fears. The test was positive. She was pregnant with Stefan's baby and she began to breathe a bit faster as she heard her mom Emma knocked on the door.

"Hope we came home with dinner." Emma said as Hope continues to breathe seeing the positive pregnancy test.

"Hope did you hear me it's time for di-"

"I'm coming." Hope said as she threw away the pregnancy test and the box in the trash burying it under the rest of the trash as she washes up for dinner.

"LET ME OUT!" Hope yelled, continuing to bang the wall again as she was exhausted from banging the wall with her hands, and put her head on the back of the wall and her hands on her stomach.

"I don't know how we're going to get out, but I hope someone could get us out." Hope said not knowing that she is being watched by a hidden camera.
