a/n: In the last chapter Hope cast a spell to the in-between and it won't be the last spell in this fan fic. I wanted your opinion on whether or not I should continue translating the spells from Latin to English? Let me know what you think. Enjoy this new chapter!
No one said anything. Hope wasn't sure if it was because they were in another space and time or because it was her magic that had brought them there. Despite the reason she brought everyone there to stop all the stupid fighting. It was starting to get petty and somewhere along the line this meeting stopped being about her safety and more about who should or shouldn't be in charge.
"Did you bring us here?" asked Haley
"Yeah, Co" Hope started by stopped herself before she let Coryna's name slip "I mean a witch I met a few years back taught me a few spells."
"Why did you bring us here?" asked Cami
"Because this needs to stop. This fighting is ridiculous. I get you hate each other, but too be this crazy is going to get someone I care about killed." Hope stated angrily.
"You're right" Coryna began "We shouldn't have let our feelings towards each other overshadow the reason we are all here"
"Coryna's right." Jasper said as he placed a hand on Hope's shoulder "I'm sorry, I'll try to keep my temper in check. I promise."
Jasper stepped away from Hope and walked towards Klaus. Everyone seemed to be standing on eggshells waiting to see what Jasper was going to do. What happened next shocked everyone, especially Klaus. He walked over to Klaus had held out his hand "I doubt we would ever like each other, but for Hope I will try to be more respectful to you and your family as long as you consider the same respect for myself and my family."
Klaus looked over at Hope. Despite how little he has actually got to know her, his father instincts to make her happy took over "Agreed" he said shaking Jasper's hand.
With that Hope closed her eyes and held her amulet once again and everyone returned to their bodies in the Mikaelson home. As the meeting went on it wasn't about making a plan anymore, it was more about twisting and turning very different puzzle pieces in order to work together. Time past by and it was time for everyone to return to their rightful home. Nothing was going to be solved in one night, but it was a start.
Within the recent weeks Hope saw a real change between her two families. For the first time since she had arrived in New Orleans she felt at ease and Coryna and Jasper eased on one of rules. Coryna, Jasper, and Wyatt didn't have to be there at all time. The compromise was that as long as Haley was there to watch after Hope then they didn't have to.
Once again Hope was hanging out with her parent's aunt and uncle. It was a normal day, Haley and Rebekah took her shopping, then they joined the rest of the Mikaelson for lunch, and now they were sitting in the common room and listening to Elijah play the piano. It was peaceful and Hope was loving every second of it. It wasn't long after listening to Elijah began to play the Jasper made his way inside of the Mikaelson home. When he entered the mood of common room changed.
"Klaus" Jasper began holding in his temper "can you do me the favor of speaking with me in private for a moment"
"As you can see I am spending time with my daughter, so I will half to decline."
"Sorry to disappoint, but that isn't an option."
Hope watched as the two were talking. She could see how hard Jasper was trying to be civil, but she also knew that something wasn't right. A few years back a vampire hunter attacked Sam and Marco, two of the hybrids in her adoptive family. While Coryna was tending to their wounds, Jasper went out to track down the hunter and killed him. The way he looked despite how hard he was trying to hide it reminded her of that moment.
"Jace, what happened?"
"Klaus, Now!" Jasper demanded, ignoring Hope.
Klaus chuckled for a second "For a moment it sounded as if you were giving me an order"
"When we created this little truce, we agreed I will respect you as long as you respect my family and myself." Jasper gritted through his teeth.
"What of it?"
"Giving orders to members of my family is your way of showing me respect."
"Ah this what all this is about. Yes, I told them if they wanted to help you they were to spy on our little friend Dahlia."
"You are not to give orders to MY family"
"I am the king of New Orleans, the only one who doesn't give order around here is you"
Hope didn't even have time to react to what was happening before Jasper grabbed Klaus by his shirt and backed him into the nearest wall, his eyes turned and icy blue, his fangs fully reviled. Hope has never seen him like that before, a pure blood thirsty creature. She remembered what Jasper had told her about how he used to be before he met Coryna, but she couldn't really see that side of him until now. It scared her and it got worse when Klaus stared to fight back.
Klaus was powerful there was no doubt about that, he was an original hybrid after all. Jasper on the other had a power all his own, his abilities are two times stronger than any vampire. Those two can easily kill each other especially when they are blinded by rage. Hope yelled out to them trying to get them to stop, but they could hear her beyond all the madness between them. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Wyatt rush his way into the room, grab Jasper and tossed him across the room. Jasper was about to attack Klaus again, but Wyatt got in the way and tried at his hardest to push him back. Wyatt whispered something in his ear and Jasper started to calm himself.
Jasper looked over at Hope and saw Haley holding her as she cried into her chest. It broke a piece of him having her see him that way. He rushed out of the Mikaelson before he things got out of hand again.
Wyatt walked over to Hope "After what happen I have to ask. Do you want to stay with Haley and her husband tonight?"
"Are you serious? What about Cory and Jace?"
"They'll understand, you been through a lot just now."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, but you have to stay with Haley and Jackson. I want you safe and I know you mother will make sure you stay that way." Hope nodded and Wyatt hugged her goodbye and left to return home. Hope had a lot to think about not about how she felt about her family, that would never change, but more how much did she really know them. Who were the Originals and her half breed family before she joined their family? How much did she really know?
