Author's Note: Hey guys so it's been a while but I'm back with some new content.
This one is about Hope and Lizzie-more specifically, Dark Hope and Lizzie- it's my own take, my own ideas and I hope you all like it.
It's a one-shot but depending on how well it is received, I might continue with it.
We shall see ;)
Enjoy!

YOU SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM ME
Try as she might, Lizzie found that she would always be inexplicably drawn to Hope Mikaelson.
Everyone was, so she shouldn't be surprised but now Hope was evil and yet the attraction was still there.
What was wrong with her?!
As Lizzie walked down the street late one night, heading back to the Salvatore school, she felt she was being watched. Stopping, Lizzie turned around and looked over her shoulder, toying with the strap on her shoulder bag.
"Hello?" She called out.
Nothing.
There was no one around and no cars drove by. It was eerily quiet.
It was in times like these that Lizzie wished she hadn't made the decision to temporarily disable her powers.
She didn't really know why she'd done it. Well no, that wasn't true. She knew why she'd done it; she had been fed up. Fed up of having these powers, of her moods controlling what she did, it had been really getting to her, more so that usual so she'd put a 'block' on them and for a while she'd felt better.
Except now she didn't. Now she wanted her powers back because whoever was stalking her, they could very well and probably would be, very dangerous.
Lizzie turned and kept walking; a bit faster this time.
The alley was just up ahead. If she could just make it to there, she could run straight through and be less than five minutes away from the school.
Turning into the alley Lizzie started running but she made the fatal mistake of looking back over her shoulder.
Something hit her. It was solid and unmoving and Lizzie fell back, landing hard on her ass.
"Ah, son of a-" Looking up, Lizzie found herself staring into the cold, blue eyes of Hope Mikaelson.
"H-Hope." Lizzie stammered.
Hope looked down her nose at the witch; her arms folded.
Lizzie couldn't help but stare at the hybrid.
She wore tight black leather pants, high heeled boots and a black leather jacket that was zipped up halfway to show she had a blood red tank top on underneath. Her caramel coloured hair was left long and flowing.
Lizzie thought Hope looked-for lack of a better word-hot.
"Are you going to sit there all night?" Hope asked with a slight smirk on her beautiful face.
Lizzie got to her feet and dusted herself off. She gave Hope a look of annoyance.
"So it was you who was following me?"
Hope arched an eyebrow at her.
"Following you? Now why would I want to do that?"
Lizzie shrugged.
"I dunno...maybe you-"
"Maybe I what, Lizzie?" Hope cut in, backing Lizzie into the wall.
Lizzie felt her heart start to pound, her head went light and all she could smell was Hope's perfume. She was so used to Hope's natural scent; sweet, kind of floral but now it was slightly bitter and dark, just like the girl herself.
Hope twirled a strand of Lizzie's blonde hair around her finger.
"You think that my head is filled with thoughts of you? That I just had to come back to this shit hole of a town just to what? See you?" Hope's voice was gentle but Lizzie could hear the venom that coated it.
Lizzie swallowed.
"No. I thought you might have come back to kill me."
Hope snorted lightly.
"And why would I want to kill you? Rumour has it that you're not a witch anymore."
"I am still a witch." Lizzie snapped, moving back off the wall and getting in Hope's face.
"I just...don't have my abilities at the moment."
Hope rolled her eyes.
"Couldn't handle the power?"
Lizzie narrowed her eyes at the tribrid.
"Is that why you turned off your humanity, Hope? Couldn't handle it?"
Hope's eyes suddenly darkened and Lizzie cursed herself for goading her.
Hope was a tribrid now. That made her one of the most dangerous creatures walking this earth and Lizzie had made fun of her?
Nice going, air head.
Hope slammed her hand against the wall next to Lizzie's head, causing a dent in the brick work.
"I'm better like this. I'm better than all of you." She sneered.
Lizzie raised her chin. She didn't want Hope to think she was scared of her.
"Was it worth it though?"
"Turning off my pesky feelings? Sure." She answered with a shrug, "I don't care about anything now. Nothing hurts me. Nothing scares me. I'm stronger, more powerful and I can make all the right decisions because I have no emotions to hold me back. I'm free, Lizzie. I'm free."
Lizzie looked down at the ground between them.
"You think your feelings chained you?"
Hope frowned and tilted her head.
"I know they did."
"So you think to feel things makes you weak?"
Hope dropped her hand and stepped away from Lizzie- well, as much as the narrow alley would allow anyway.
"Why are you questioning me? You can see what I've become without my humanity. No one dares to cross me now. No one."
Lizzie sighed and turned her head, looking down the alley.
"Maybe someone should." She muttered.
Hope glared at the blonde and clenched her jaw.
"I'd kill them."
"Not if you loved them."
Hope blinked and looked at Lizzie like she was stupid.
"Uh, hello? No emotions here. I don't love anyone."
Lizzie gave her a bittersweet smile.
"You did...once."
Hope smirked.
"You're going to try and appeal to me by bringing up Landon's name?"
Lizzie shrugged.
"It was worth a shot."
Hope folded her arms again.
"Just because you can be manipulated by love, doesn't mean that I am."
Lizzie frowned at her once friend.
"I'm not manipulated by love."
Hope raised her eyebrows.
"Yes you are."
"How so?"
Hope took a step towards Lizzie.
"Tell me, what do you think the smartest thing to do with me would be?"
Lizzie's eyes darted from Hope to the wall behind her and back again. She had an answer but no matter what she said, Hope would twist it.
"No? Shall I tell you then?" Hope offered.
Lizzie side-eyed Hope, trying to show the hate she wanted to have for her in her eyes but of course, Hope ignored all of that.
"You should kill me or you know, try to."
Lizzie's lips parted in shock and Hope chuckled lightly.
"It's ok. I know you can't."
Lizzie licked her lips and kept them closed as she folded her own arms. Hope noted the defensive posture and smirked, one corner of her mouth lifting slightly.
"You think it's our history that keeps you from killing me?"
Lizzie shook her head.
Hope pouted.
"No, you're right, it's not that. No...it has something to do with this thing here."
Hope poked a finger into Lizzie's chest, right where her heart was.
Lizzie looked down and then locked eyes with Hope.
"My heart?"
Hope nodded.
Lizzie pushed her hand away.
"You're way off." She growled as she started walking back out of the alley.
"Am I though?" Hope called after her.
Lizzie stopped walking but she didn't turn around. She didn't want Hope to see the lie in her eyes.
Hope's boot heels clicked on the ground as she slowly walked up behind her.
"Are you going to tell me that you don't think about me?" She whispered, brushing the hair away from Lizzie's neck, her fingertips just gliding over the skin beneath Lizzie's ear.
"That when Josie admitted she had a crush on me you were angry but not because you were worried about your sister. Oh no, that wasn't it at all; it was because you were hiding your own little crush, wasn't you?"
Lizzie shivered as Hope's breath fanned across her neck.
"N-no."
"No? Are you lying to me, Lizzie?" Hope whispered.
Lizzie almost moaned when she felt Hope's lips against her neck, teasing her.
Was she going to kiss her or bite her?
Lizzie closed her eyes.
At this point she didn't care. Hope could do what she liked and Lizzie would let her. It didn't matter anymore.
Hope's hands came up to rest on Lizzie's shoulders, her touch gentle. It was a sharp contrast to how Lizzie had seen Hope rip people's throats out.
"I need you to tell me the truth." Hope breathed.
Lizzie shuddered as Hope stirred something inside her.
Hope's hands trailed down Lizzie's arms and the came to settle on her hips, drawing the witch back against her.
"I know you want me, Lizzie. I can hear your heart...it's racing."
"That-that's 'cause I'm scared."
Hope smirked.
"Scared? Or turned on?"
Lizzie hated how Hope knew just the right way to draw Lizzie out. How she made her lose all sense of self and made her forget that Hope was first and foremost a killer.
Hope gave Lizzie's hips a gentle squeeze and the blonde felt Hope's nails dig into the skin beneath the sheer top she wore.
"Come on, tell me." Hope urged.
Lizzie shook her head.
"This isn't right..."
"What's not?" Hope whispered, her nose moving against Lizzie's hair, like she was breathing her in.
"This. I shouldn't feel like this. You're-you're not the Hope and I know and-"
Lizzie cut herself off. At the same time, she felt Hope tense up behind her.
"You know and what?" Hope asked, her voice a little harder.
Lizzie swallowed nervously.
"Nothing."
"Finish what you were going to say." Hope snarled.
Lizzie shook her head.
"No."
"Finish it!"
Lizzie spun around out of Hope's grip and put some space between herself and the tribrid.
Hope's eyes glowed golden, her teeth had sharpened into fangs and her nails were now claws. She wanted to change, Lizzie realised, fear gripping her heart instead of the emotion she'd been feeling only moments ago.
"It doesn't matter what I feel, Hope! You can't feel anything so what does it matter?!" Lizzie shouted.
Hope growled low in her throat, a cruel smirk gracing her lips.
"I can feel some things."
Lizzie hated the way that sent a pleasant shiver down her spine.
She backed up and held her hands up placatingly.
"Hope. Listen to me; I know it's not you. I know without your humanity nothing matters but you need to do this one thing for me."
Hope arched an eyebrow quizzically.
"And that is?"
Lizzie swallowed, bit her lip and then made herself look into Hope's eyes.
"You need to stay away from me."
Hope relaxed instantly and she chuckled darkly.
"Oh Lizzie...no."
Lizzie blinked.
"N-no?"
Hope took a few steps towards the witch.
"No."
Lizzie looked down at Hope who was now very much in her personal space.
"But we can't-"
Hope put a finger to Lizzie's lips.
"Shh...just let it happen."
Lizzie froze as Hope moved forward and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. It was just a light brush but Lizzie found herself kissing back just the same.
Hope ran her tongue across Lizzie's bottom lip and the witch parted her lips almost instantly. Hope grinned against her mouth as she grabbed the back of the blonde's head and moaned into her mouth, deepening the kiss.
Lizzie moved her hands onto Hope's shoulders, her neck, in her hair, anywhere she could touch her.
It felt so good to be with her like this and judging by the way Hope was growling low in her throat, she was enjoying it too.
Hope's hands gripped Lizzie's waist and she turned them so that the witch had her back to the wall. Hope continued to pepper kisses down Lizzie's neck. The blonde threw her head back, hitting the wall behind her but she was so into what Hope was doing, the pain didn't register.
Hope's breath fanned across her neck as she spoke, her lips leaving tingles.
"I'm going to make you mine, Lizzie." She whispered.
Lizzie moaned.
"Oh god..."
"Would you like that?" Hope asked, her tone light and playful.
Lizzie looked up at the starlit sky and thanked whatever higher being there was that Hope was offering this.
"Yes...oh yes."
Hope chuckled as she opened her mouth wider and reared back, her fangs lengthening, becoming deadly points.
Lizzie opened her eyes just in time to see Hope ready to strike.
Oh shit! No! Not like that!
Lizzie spun away from the wall, out of Hope's reach.
Hope glared at her.
"What the hell, Lizzie?!"
Lizzie's hand flew up to her neck and she was relieved to find that in her lust induced state, Hope had not already bitten her.
Hope straightened.
"You said you wanted this."
"I thought you meant..."
"Meant what?" Hope snapped.
"You said you were going to...make...me yours'."
Hope blinked.
"Yeah. So?"
"I thought you meant...y'know..."
Hope raised both eyebrows, waiting for Lizzie to continue.
Lizzie mirrored her expression, waiting for Hope to understand.
It didn't take long.
"Oh...you thought that was some romantic way of me asking if you wanted me to-"
"Yes." Lizzie cut in quickly. Quite honestly she didn't know if she could even stand to hear Hope say those words.
Hope walked towards her, reaching out and Lizzie stepped back again.
Hope dropped her hand and sighed.
"Lizzie. Did you really think this was going to be some romantic love story where the tribrid with no feelings confesses her love for a witch?"
Hope laughed and Lizzie visibly winced.
Hope pouted and this time when she moved towards Lizzie, she reached out and took a strand of the blonde's hair in her hand.
"I don't love, Lizzie. You need to understand that right now."
Lizzie stared at the girl she'd been slowly falling in love with all these years and tears filled her eyes.
Hope noticed and her jaw clenched as she let go of Lizzie's hair and stepped back.
"I don't love anyone. I can't." She said but her tone was firmer this time.
Lizzie bowed her head and Hope sighed loudly.
"Give up on me, Lizzie. My humanity is never coming back. I like it this way and I'm not going throw it all away and go back to that pathetic, feeling mess of a girl I used to be."
"You wasn't a mess to me." Lizzie said softly, tears falling down her face.
After what felt like a long time Hope nodded and put her hands on her hips.
"Alright."
Lizzie looked up and frowned.
"Alright what?"
Hope sighed.
"I'll stay away from you."
Lizzie stared at the tribrid in shock.
"You-you will?"
Hope shrugged, becoming impatient.
"It's what you wanted, right?"
Lizzie stuttered.
"Well I uh-"
"You said to me that you wanted me to stay away from you...so I will."
Lizzie frowned.
"Uh...thank you, I guess."
Hope gave Lizzie a tight smile and then began to turn away but Lizzie realised she couldn't let her go just like that.
"Hope, wait!"
Hope stopped and glanced over her shoulder at the blonde.
"You're really going to respect my decision and stay away from me?"
Hope nodded.
"Of course but then there's the other thing you haven't yet considered,"
Lizzie's brow furrowed at that and Hope grinned.
"I can stay away from you but can you stay away from me?"
