Bonnie P.O.V
She was chanting the spell to shut the door of another side. Even when Jeremy betrayal was making it difficult for her to concentrate she has her Grams support as she performed this difficult magic.
She can feel resistance from the opposite side as if some force is stopping her. "I can't do this Grams! Someone is blocking me!"
She felt a hand on her shoulder as she heard her voice. "Don't give up my child and trust Hope."
"Hope? What hope?!" It was then she felt that force stop fighting as if it gave up for some reason.
Bonnie quickly start chanting again using all her power and felt door closing from the other side.
"It's working!" She happily looked at her Grams who was now walking away with a sad smile on her face. "Grams don't go!" She cried out for her.
"Don't you worry my child everything will be alright, just promise me that when the time comes you will trust Hope."
"I don't understand? What hope?" Bonnie ask again as her Grams fade away but even when she disappeared the only sound left behind.
"Trust Hope! Trust Hope!"
With a gasp, Bonnie eyes open up and as she watched sunrises from her window, last night voices still echo in her ear. "Trust Hope! Trust Hope!"

Elena P.O.V
She was following Alaric deep into the tunnels when out of nowhere Damon appeared. "Boo!"
"Ah!" She screams before pushing him away from her. "Thank God Hope is in the car or you would have frightened too."
"Oh please, that girl is way stronger than both of us." He rolled his eyes but then Elena watched him zooming outside, 'probably to check on Hope.' She thought.
"He really cared about his late nephew's daughter." Alaric voice reaches her ear. She gave him smile but quickly change the topic before she has to lie more. "So what are these drawing?"
"These are ancient Vikings drawing, probably the dead language that's why I need to take lots of pictures so I can translate it later." He told her as he took picture after picture.
"But why is this so important?" She asks again feeling confused by his interest in these drawings or dead language, whatever they are.
"Because of it Original's story," Damon said behind her as he leans at the entrance of the cave. "Show her what you understand Ric." He told Ric who in return start pointing at few strange words. "Rebekah, Elijah, Nicklaus and Mikael."
"Or as I love to call him papa original." Damon finished while smirking at her shock face.

Damon's P.O.V
They were at Ric place and while he was helping Elena practice her Buffy moves, Ric was arranging and rearranging pictures. "Will you guys stop making noise! I can't concentrate on the task!" Ric shouted at them without even lifting his face from those pictures.
"If Ghost of Mason Lockwood was right then these pictures are key to that weapon."
"What weapon?" Hope to ask and they turned to see curiosity in her innocent face. "Its nothing sweetie, just something to stop the really bad guy." He assured her.
She stood up from the couch where she was busy painting. Apparently, she loves to paint which makes him wonder does his future wife is going to be an artist because he couldn't paint to save his life.
By the time Hope reached them they were all huddled together.
She tugged his hand and Damon picked her up and place her on the stool next to him. As she watched those pictures Ric moved to grab a book from the shelf. "I can help you." Did she tell them?
He and Elena stared at this little girl who has concentrating look on her face as she watched these pictures.
"You can? But now when this is supposed to be a dead language." Elena asks Hope who in turn giggles as she replied. "This is not a dead language, its ancient Viking. Our professor thought us this language along with Latin and ancient Myrna during our second standard."
"Who is this professor?" Damon asks feeling impressed while hoping he could find this professor at this time.
In answer Hope just pointed in front of her and he groaned when he saw who she is pointing at. "Ric?! Seriously!" He hissed while putting her hand down before Ric can see her hand pointing at his direction.
"Oops!" Apparently, Hope realizes her mistake again and quickly covered her mouth.
"Its okay kid, I am glad to know my friend will be alive in future." He then gently pried her hand away from her mouth as he asks. "So can you translate these pictures."
She was clearly still embarrassed but nod her head. He then watched Ric making his way towards them so he quickly instructs her. "Just whisper the translation and I will do the rest."
"Hey Ric maybe I can help you out, I just remember reading some old Viking texts." He told Ric who then places his book on the table. "Okay, give it a shot."
"The first picture said, family." He says out loud after his granddaughter whisper in a low voice that only supernatural ear can pick up.
"Second picture death of firstborn and third represent that family moving away from their home."
"That's what Elijah told me, how his family left their home after their elder sister death," Elena spoke out loud as she touched that picture.
"Its really their family story." Ric muses in interest. "What's next Damon."
But he was unable to tell them anything because Hope decides to go mute in next second. "Um! Uh!"
He pointedly stared at his granddaughter who was completely ignoring him. 'Maybe it's her weak subject.' He thought dejectedly and then admit out loud. "Sorry man but I can only help you this far."
"It's okay, I can figure something out," Ric assured him while Elena faces lit up. "I know someone who can help us but first let drop Hope to my place, She can give company to my brother as he suffered another heartbreak."
"Serves him right for fraternizing with Ghost in the first place." He couldn't help but taunt her as they collect Hope's things.
After waving goodbye to Ric, all three of them settled in his car. As he drives away he watched Elena texting someone. "Just backup, in case my source didn't help us out." She replied while showing him Bonnie's name on the screen.
Soon they reached her house where they found Jeremy moping on the couch. "Hey, little Gilbert."
He barely acknowledges them so Elena introduced Hope to his brother. "Jer this is Hope, She is Damon's nephew Zach's daughter and Hope this is my brother and you know what, like you, he loves to sketch."
"They watched as Hope stepped forward and start telling him her favourite things to draw.
"You are in- charge baby Gilbert! So take care of her and this house while we were gone." Damon instructs him strictly and then added. "Here order pizzas." He handed him money and as his eyes met with Elena he knew that like him she also felt like a parent leaving their kids alone.

Elena's P.O.V
As soon they were about to reach the Boarding house she told Damon her plan. "Just leave me alone with her. I am sure to get these hidden secrets out of her over the girl to girl chat."
She can see he was worried about her as he told her. "That's an original vampire you want me to leave you alone with."
"She is a girl first and foremost, a lonely girl who has been craving for some friends, just trust me on this okay, if this Mikael guy didn't wake up then we need to find this weapon." At her assurance, he finally gave in.
Once they arrived Elena hide behind woods and watched as Damon's head inside first and after few minutes appear with Stefan. "Trust me, brother, road trips are best to cure for moping souls."
As he was about to climb in Damon stared at her direction and pointed his phone while mouthing. 'Call me.'
She nods in understanding and waited for them to drive away before walking inside the house.
There she saw Rebekah who was watching some girls parading in designer dresses. "Salvatore's are not here." She told her in bore tone without glancing in her direction.
"It's alright, I came here to see you." She told her as she stepped closer towards this Original vampire.
"Me? And why sweet Elena Gilbert wants to meet me? Ah! you want to beg for your life. Sorry, darling, I can't help you there." She mocked at her and was about to leave when Elena shout out. "We are going to wake Mikael."
Just like Elena thought all colour drained from her face and she growls in anger. "You are lying!"
In return, Elena told her exactly where her father was, which make Rebekah scared as she pleaded. "Please you can't wake him up! He hates us he will kill us if he comes here."
"Then help me understand, share your story with me." Elena tried to gently coax the truth out of her, which she did as she revealed every Hidden secret about her family.

It was late at night when Elena return home feeling exhausted but little exhilarated with the turn of events. She never felt so much hope before this day. 'Speaking of hope.'
"Where is Hope?" She asks her brother who was watching some movie while different drawing was scattered around the table. "She fell asleep two hours ago. So I tucked her in your room."
Elena smile and start cleaning things up when she picked three sketches from the table. One was of the big house, another of a grown man smiling widely and third drawing was of a girl who looked extremely beautiful with her soft gaze and wavy hair.
"Jer, who are these two and who's house is this?" She asks him but he just laughed and said. "These are not mine, Apparently Damon's niece is an extremely talented artist because she draws these sketches in one hour."
Elena felt stunned because they were even better than anything Jer had ever drawn. "Did she tell you who are these people?"
"She started to draw her house and then she was getting homesick so she first draws her big brother and then her mom. She would have drawn her father next but our pizzas arrived and soon afterwards she fell asleep."
Elena felt weird watching a grown man as Hope's brother. 'Future is really strange.' She thought as she stares at these sketches of good-looking people who will relate to Damon in future.
She quickly folds them and then saw Hope's backpack so she placed her sketches safely inside it. "Okay, now I am heading for bed so you better clean rest of this up and go to sleep."
She told her brother who seems to be in a better mood. "Okay, mom!" He teases and soon she left saying goodnight to her brother.
She smiled as she watched Hope sleeping peacefully on her bed and then she remembers that sketch of a beautiful girl that belongs to Hope's mom, who was also Damon's daughter and its clear that his daughter got few features from him.
With a pang, she wondered how Damon's wife looks like? And while she was happy for his future she wondered if she still exists in his world or not.
Sighing she grabbed her nightclothes and went to change inside her washroom.
By the time she was ready for bed, she came out and to her surprise (or not surprising at all) she found Damon laid out comfortably on Hope's other side.
"Not today Damon, I'm too much tired.." She didn't finish because he said. "Mikael got through baby bro and now they both are going to help us get rid of our problem."
She wanted to jump in excitement but since she was feeling low she only told him. "I think today we got Rebekah on our side too."
At this, he looks surprised as he inquires. "Really? How? what did you found out?"
"That she was a young girl who lost everything at a young age." She can only tell him this much without feeling worse about today.
Luckily Damon didn't push her for more answer and for a while they stayed quite probably listening to Hope's breathing to calm their thoughts.
Eventually, one thought finally break through her mind because she found herself asking out loud. "Damon, do you think I am going to be in your future?"
She thought he won't answer or take his time to make up some lie but his answer came within seconds. "Of course you will be in my future."
"How can you be so sure? Did she tell you something?" She asks but all she can see a smile forming on his face as he stares at her with great intensity. "I don't need Hope or anyone to tell me whether you exist in my future or not."
"But then? How can you be so sure?" At this, he turned fully to face her and reached out to take her hand in his hands. "Because I can't imagine my life without you in it, so yeah whatever future held for me I am hundred percent sure that you are going to be part of it."
And just like that with few simple words he once again takes all her worries away and as they both fell asleep their felt hope for themselves in their hearts and Hope between them.
