Chapter 3 Part 2

Hope's POV

As Damon and I walked throughout the city, I was amazed of how different the city was at night. Lights were lite up everywhere, and all the people around us were just dancing all around us including on top of the tables to jazz music. Now I can see why it's called the jazz city of the country.

"Welcome to party central" Damon said leading us through a crowd of people.

"I have never been to a party before" I said, well more like shouting over the noise as I watched everyone around me dancing to the music.

"Well it's a good thing you got the expert here to teach you, now no more talking lesson number one is to dance" he said as he took my hands and started to spin me around, causing me to laugh out loud.

Admittingly I am a horrible dancer, but at this moment it feels like all my worries have disappeared.

Suddenly he took me into his arms and looked at me and asked "So tell me you got a boyfriend, a girl with such beauty must of all the guys at your beck and call."

I couldn't help but giggle because his statement was the total opposite of how I am.

"No, but the real question is are you single" I asked teasingly.

What the hell was wrong with me, for one thing I shouldn't be here with a guy that I barely even know, let alone flirting with him. It's hard to explain why, but ever since I've come to the city it's like it brought my out the part of me that I've kept hidden for so long. I know I'm acting so stupid right now, but at the same time I don't care, I have spent my whole life just wasting away in the shadows without much complaint. Maybe I can afford to let myself be reckless, even if it's just for this night.

"I guess you can say that" he said as continued to move his body all around me.

"Why, you're so gorgeous, how can anyone with your looks be single" I asked genuinely curious.

"I know; with my looks it should be illegal" he said with a smirk as we continued to dance.

"You want a drink, I recommend bourbon, one of my personal faves if I must say" he asked.

"No thanks, I don't drink" I informed him.

"Come one live a little, one drink won't kill you" he said with a wink.

After that something in my body started telling me to get out of here as fast as I can. Growing up I always had this knack for knowing when something bad was going to happen before it could happen, which saved me from very humiliating situations, but this feeling was literally nothing like I ever felt before. Whatever this feeling was, it was like it was telling me if I wanted to live then leave now.

"Um sure why not" I replied a little nervously.

"Don't move I'll be right back" he said with a wink.

Just as I was about to make my move and quietly slip away, I noticed that everyone stopped dancing and all their eyes were turned towards me. Someone at them looked at me suspiciously, while others were looking at me with a psychopathic sort of look. Finally, I did the sensible thing and ran out of there like hell.

I didn't know how long or where I was running to, but when I eventually stopped to catch my breath. I didn't know where the hell I was, but to make things even creepier the entire street was like a ghost town with no soul in sight. Just what the hell is wrong with this place.

"You know it's very rude to just walk out on your date like that" someone said from behind me.

I screamed as soon as I turned around and saw Damon Salvatore right behind, with what appeared to be blood dripping down his chin.

"How the hell did you catch up so fast" I managed to get out, because I was one of the fastest runners in my city, and I've never met anyone that was able to keep up with me.

He just smirked at me, and started walking towards me, while I tried to back up hoping to find a way to escape and find some help. However, he eventually backed me up to wall. I started crying, because this wasn't how things were supposed to end, there was so much stuff I haven't done yet. Now I would never be able to travel abroad, or have my first kiss with that special someone that I would marry and have a few kids with.

"Why is it that your blood smells so thirst quenching, I never smelled blood so addictive as yours" he said put one of his hands onto my throat, while he put his lips to my neck.

"P-Please let me go" I cried out despite knowing it was completely useless.

Then all of a sudden, I felt what appeared to be his teeth sink into my neck and I could feel the blood dropping down from my neck. Just as I was about to scream, Damon screamed and let go of me as he dropped to the ground, coughing and spitting out blood. As soon as he let go of me, my hand automatically went up to my neck to feel two holes with blood dripping out of them. When he looked up at me, what I saw scared me right to my core. His eyes were a blood shot red, contrast to his blue ones, and he had veins around his eyes, and what appeared to be fangs sticking out of his mouth.

I put my hand over my mouth trying as hard as I could not to lose it, but I probably wouldn't because my whole body felt like it was frozen in place. He got up and was about to come at me again, until he fell onto his knees while clutching his head, while screaming. Blood was starting to come out of his nose and eyes. You would figure I would use this time to run, but I couldn't help but just stand there and watch him as he screamed out in pain.

"HOPE" Someone screamed my name, and when I turned around my whole body turned into relief as I saw Professor Ingrid coming running towards me. I suddenly found myself back in control of my body, and quickly ran to Professor Ingrid and as I did I quietly heard the sound of Damon dropping to the ground. I quickly ran to her and threw myself into her.

"Please you got to help me" I said looking at her as I cried.

She looked at me sympathetically and pulled me into a hug put my head into her shoulder as I cried my eyes out.

"Don't worry everything will be alright" was all I heard her say right before I blacked out.

Normal POV

Elijah Mikaelson walks into his family compound, with an expression of annoyance written all over his face. His sister Freya happens to take notice of this.

"So brother what has Niklaus done this time to earn your ire" she asked.

"For once nothing, but Ingrid Wolff has certainly become a thorn in my side" he explains.

Frey looking confused asked "Isn't she the leader of the Tremé Coven."

"She was until she recently resigned from her position, in order to take up a teaching position at the local university" Elijah explained.

"I don't understand; what purpose does this serve her" Freya asked.

Before Elijah could answer, Klaus enters the room with his famous smirk and said "None at all at surface at least, but I suspect she has something up her sleeves."

"Niklaus while I agree it is rather suspicious, let us not forget her alliance has always been with this family and she has proven this multiple times, so I warn you not to be quick to form any ill judgements just yet" Elijah said.

"Ah, but don't forget brother. Even you have said so yourself that her motives have been questionable and has history not taught us that even the slightest move against us, ends up becoming a full blown war" Klaus said.

Before Elijah could reply, Klaus's cellphone started ringing and he saw that Stefan Salvatore was calling. He half-thought of not answering, but he thought he could use a little distraction.

"Ah Stefan Salvatore, to what pleasure do I owe this call" he asked in a genuine friendly tone.

"Klaus I need your help, can you and Freya come over to my house right away" Stefan asked in an urgent voice.

(Stefan and Damon's House)

Stefan watched his brother, who was currently sweating and moaning in pain, as he waited for Klaus to arrive with Freya. It was only about an hour ago, when he found his brother unconscious and bloody in the middle of the streets and now here he was, not knowing what was wrong with him.

Suddenly the doorbell rang, bringing him out of his thoughts. He went over and opened the door and as expected there was Klaus, Freya, and Elijah.

"Klaus thanks for coming on such short notice, come in" Stefan said as he moved out of his way to let his guests in.

"Anything for an old friend" Klaus said entering the home.

When Klaus got a good look at Damon, he smiled and said "Ah I see the oldest Salvatore has once again fallen victim to a werewolf bite, I must say is he making this a weekly occurrence."

Stefan crossed his arms and said "I don't know what happened, I found him in the streets like this, but no bite marks from one of your cursed werewolf's to be found anywhere. I didn't think it was a werewolf bite at first, but he's showing all the signs of one, which is why I was hoping Freya could look at him."

"I'm not sure if I'll be able to find anything, but I can try" Freya said lowering herself to Damon's level. She started chanting in Latin, and then she suddenly stopped looking confused.

"What have you found Freya" Elijah asked noticing her expression.

"I'm not at all sure. He is poisoned by something, but what that is I'm not sure. It has the essence of a werewolf, but something completely different at the same time. I can sense it won't kill him, but he will be out for at least a day or two." Freya explained.

"I don't understand how someone could have poisoned him, if it wasn't from a werewolf and there were no syringes left behind, and no marks on his body to suggest he was injected with something or bitten" Stefan wondered.

"I don't know" Freya stated looking worriedly at both of her brothers, who had the same expression as her.

Hope's POV

When I eventually woke up, the first thing I noticed was that I wasn't in my room. As I got out of the bed, everything from before I passed out suddenly came back into my mind, and suddenly I wondered if It was just a bad dream and that I passed out at the party. I went over into the mirror and saw my neck was completely ok, and I let out a sigh of relief.

"I wouldn't be so relieved just yet" a voice said from behind me.

"Professor Wolff?" I asked as soon as I turned around and saw her, not knowing why she was here.

"Just because your neck has healed, doesn't mean what happened last night, wasn't real" she said with a monotone voice.

That's when I remembered that right before I passed out, Professor Wolff was there.

"I don't understand" I asked nervously.

"Come out to the living room with me, and I will explain everything to you. Plus, you have a couple of visitors" she said.

I wasn't sure if being here was a good idea, but something was telling me to trust Professor Wolff, so I followed her down the hall into what appeared to be her living room. I was surprised to see Mandy and Jacob sitting on the couch.

"Oh god, thank goodness you're ok" Mandy said getting up from the couch and coming to hug me.

"Hope didn't we warn you not to go into town by yourself or with strange people that you don't know" Jacob said angry, which automatically made me feel guilty.

"Ok children she's had a rough night, let's not get too angry, although I'm rather disappointed we have to do this now rather than later like I wanted" Professor Wolff said as she brought out cups of coffee out to us.

"What are you talking about now rather than later" I asked starting to get nervous again.

"You better sit down Hope, I don't think you'll be able to stand after what we're about to tell you" Professor said.

Now I'm seriously nervous, I can by the looks of all three of them this wasn't going to be a pleasant conversation at all.

Author's Note

Well here's the second part of chapter 3 and I hoped everyone liked it. Next chapter several answers will be answered, and obviously more questions to those answers, if that makes sense. After the next chapter, the story will defiantly be moving a little bit faster as Hope gets acquainted with the supernatural world. And as thanks to everyone for the review's and favorite's, here's a tiny spoiler for you all, Klaus will know about Hope, before she knows the truth about him. So as always continue to read and review.
