Sorry that was rude of course you would be here. Hope is still getting used to being a fully activated Tribrid. I was just surprised to see you here at the school in the kitchen. My mom mentioned that you guys were crashing at Klaus's former digs when he was after my sister. Oh, my adopted older sister Elena Gilbert- Salvator she is more an Aunt to me than a sister or was she's dead. She died in a plane crash but not before leaving her practice with good doctors. She died in 2028 with Uncle Damon and while it was a short life I chose to believe she was happy in the end. Josie and I were 14 and while we were not close to Elena didn't mean we didn't care about her. We did miss getting to know Elena as a sibling but she left her diaries to us and the school in her will. Anyways um what are you working on?" Lizzie says as she sees Hayley in the kitchen /p

The only good thing I know how to make in the kitchen is a sandwich and I generally make those for Pedro. He is one of the younger kids here at the school. Also your explanation makes sense since it's 5 AM on a Wednesday. Not many people are up at this hour. I am only awake because a group of vamps in the town next door heard about the Mikaelson family returning to Mystic Falls and was going to start shit. They had already killed one kid and that is one kid too many so I put an end to them. I was actually coming to the kitchen to see if there was any human blood in the refrigerator. Mom told me she made dad put some in the fridge stating that vamps should have the option to choose between the animal diet or human diet. She also argued that human blood kept vampires stronger than animal blood which is true. Sorry I tend to ramble when in the presence of pretty people and well I'm just going to shut up now."

I know that your family can handle their own, but I also have a job to uphold and well killing innocent kids brings you to the top of my kill list. It just so happened the vampires also had a revenge boner to pick with the Mikaelson family but worry not they are dust now. No, I do not plan to save your family multiple times in a row, but you guys were not looking hot when I got to the park where you were fighting Ken. As for your deal, you're on Miss Marshall -Kenner.

Didn't help that everyone, including my own family, loves and adores her. After my sister came clean about rumors and lies, she spread I gave Hope another chance to become my friend. The Miss Mystic Falls Pageant was the first time that I really got the chance to know Hope without everyone else involved. I was able to see her behind the mask she holds up to most of the world. Roman showed up and Landon chose to be a jealous boyfriend and Hope nearly blew her cover in front of a bunch of humans. I showed her an outlet that my mom taught me when my emotions and magic get too much. It's not cutting in case you are worried. It was screaming in the woods. It helps with releasing the buildup of magic. The hobbit Landon had a big argument with Hope and left her with no escort right at the beginning of the dance. Roman and I were both going towards Hope, but I beat him to Hope. Roman ran off to yell at drunk monster bait extraordinaire Landon while I danced with Hope. While Hope didn't win, and I unfortunately made her cry she still looked like a princess. I think she cried because I brought up the way I met her Uncle Elijah. I quickly took her off the dance floor when my sister was announced the winner. I let her cry in my arms and then she wanted to go after the Muppet Landon. I told her she should probably let him cool off. She didn't look like she wanted to leave or be alone when she came to give the dress back, so I let her sleep in my room. I cuddled with her because she was still emotionally stressed. I just wanted to be a good friend, but once she was asleep and I woke up the next day I figured it out. Why everyone would give anything for her to be happy. She is the light in the dark, someone to root for, someone to look up to and yet she is imperfect and that makes her perfect in my eyes. This terrified me for a few reasons, one being my sister told me that I always go after her crushes and second, I feared that Hope would never really want me as a friend or more because of my mental health. So, I pushed bird boy Landon to give Hope another chance the very next morning. Next time I got any significant time with Hope was after she came out of Malivore and we were trapped in an alternate dimension game world. I was the first to remember Hope who she was, and I really did not want the Hobbit Landon sleeping with my sister Josie especially knowing that Hope really liked Landon. We spent the day going through a labyrinth avoiding traps and a Minitour and talking about Hope's Martyr complex. I thought I was getting over Sebastian, my ex, when he showed back up and Hope asked me to track Landon and drag his bird feather ass back to the school. Her asking me pretty much gave me all the signs I needed to know that Hope wouldn't move on or ever look at me more than a friend. I was right too. I mean the Hobbit dumped Josie and got back with Hope. So, I moved on and got back with my manipulative ex Sebastain. This made my sister go so far to the dark side she literally killed me and almost got Hope and half the school destroyed in the process. When I went to correct my mistakes, I was thrown into Malivore and I honestly wanted to die. All the pain I put my sister through and everyone else here at the school. Then there was the fact that none of my classmates cared for the fact that I died, they all still thought of me as a bitch and the reason that my sister went off the rails. I absorb magic like a leech sucks blood or like my once advertise Penelope called me, I am a black hole absorbing everything and giving nothing back. I escaped Malivore by sucking a huge amount of magic out of him. I helped a fellow witch escape Malivore but did not trust her at least not while Malivore still lived. I came up with a suicidal plan becasue I was done chasing after Hope and looking for love in all the wrong places. I honestly didn't think my plan would work or that I would be changed in the process. I wanted my death to matter so taking out Malivore and helping both my sister and Hope it was like killing two birds with one stone. My time without my humanity I was still drawn to Hope. I mean you said it yourself I loved your daughter before I died it was how I got my memories and humanity back on," Lizzie rants and confesses /p

Also, do you still like her? If you're looking for my permission to ask Hope out, you have it. You have gone far and above anyone of Hope's past loves doesn't hurt that you saved my life and Hope.

Funny you should say that many people say that Hope got her looks from me but her dad Klaus would argue that Hope has his eyes. Or as he so eloquently stated the twinkle of the devil in her eyes that was all him. Also, what does your curse have anything to do with liking Hope? I thought all you had to do was kill bad guys that break Nature's rules?" Hayley questions/p

Yes, I do as you say but I also was given the task to help make the playing field more even specifically for wolves. You see I was busy the week and 2 days with my humanity off. I met up with a few of the wolf packs around Mystic Falls to tell them about me and that should they need me they could call on me. I also beat all of the alpha's in each of their rag tag packs but I let the alpha's keep their packs so long as they called me if they ever ran into an issue with other supernatural's. Similar to how vampires can create other vampires, I can create wolves from humans with a simple bite. Plus, any of my offspring that I have will not have to kill in order to trigger their wolf gene. The wolves that I turn with a bite I can make to be part of any bloodline that already exist or existed prior to extinction," Lizzie explains /p

You also realize telling those wolf packs about you puts a target on you right? A lot of wolf packs are disgruntled with the fact that there are so many vampires around. Some wolf packs even force their young to kill in order to be added to their ranks," Hayley says shock and concern in her voice /p

I will not tolerate forcing kids to kill just to become little soldiers in a pack. I made that clear to the wolf packs that I told about my abilities. I also hid a few of my other powers from the wolf packs that I talked to. You see every person I turn through a bite I can control similar to a sire, the only difference being I can take their powers away with a snap of my fingers if I think they are misusing their wolf powers."

Okay so can Hope also do what you can or no? Divina, Marcel and Bonnie brought up the fact that it was a bit disconcerting that you could enter a house without an invitation. And again, how does any of this relate to how you feel about Hope?" Hayley questions still confused /p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 15.12px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5; color: #2a2a2a;""No Hope is only a Tribrid; she has all of your abilities with the added bonus that she is a powerful witch. She can enter houses without an invitation, but she doesn't have the power to turn humans into wolves with a bite. This relates to my feelings for Hope in the sense that I have a duty to Nature and if I get into a relationship with Hope, I cannot promise exclusiveness. I can promise emotional exclusiveness, but I cannot limit myself to one sexual partner unless that partner is willing to have more than one child with me," Lizzie says trying to answer Hayley's concern and questions /p

I can impregnate any female, but I cannot get pregnant since I no longer have female reproductive organs. As for Hope, I don't think I am her type like I said earlier. Not only does she find me an annoyance and a stalker or party crasher as she so eloquently dubbed me once I am not fully female nor fully male. Plus, she had a crush on my sister who is almost the exact opposite of me. Josie is kind, sweet, warm and an all-around nice girl who people can't praise enough. Me I'm the bitch that will tell you to if I think what you say or do is beyond stupid. But to get back to your original question of if I still like her well yeah, but she's still friends with her ex-Landon. I see the way they still look at each other so it wouldn't surprise me if they got back together sometime after or during college. I don't want to get in the way of her epic love, and I really don't want to be some rebound for her that she sleeps with once because she is lonely and Mophead isn't giving her attention," Lizzie retorts /p

I can't speak for Hope, but I sense that her ending things with Landon had something to do with you. I was once in a similar situation. Jackson, my late husband, loved me even though he knew my heart belonged to Elijah. I told Elijah after Jackson's funeral that we could not be together out of respect to his memory. After my ex-Declan died and Elijah got his memories back, I realized that Jackson would have wanted me to be happy, so I approached Elijah because part of me still loved him even after everything."

Great chat Miss Marshall-Kenner really helped me to see I should move on. Maybe I'll hook up with the next available and willing female wolf I meet. Or I will go back to Jen to tell her she can turn her charm on to win me over. Not that she would have to try too hard since she was one of the best friends I could have asked for when everyone else seemed to only want me to fix their problems. No one was happy that I was trying to save my sister or myself from certain death. No, they were just angry that I wasn't where they had easy access to me! So really, I should give Jen a shot since she was at least there for me unlike my sister or your daughter Hope.

Josie was also scared that Lizzie might actually kill the new girl if the new girl did not leave soon. Kaleb and Cleo were just intrigued to see how things would play out. Kaleb had heard about Lizzie joining team vampire but seeing it was something else. Cleo for her part knew that Lizzie was alive and different when she drew Lizzie with her game face and then an image of lighting striking Lizzie. The sketch and the vision of Lizzie being hit by lightning is what makes Cleo go and find Jen to help save Lizzie. Cleo was just surprised at seeing Lizzie bring out her game face to talk back to the new girl. Lizzie for her part was just getting irritated with the whole situation. Hope was kind of impressed by Lizzie's show of power and a little turned on by Lizzie's hybrid eyes and whole game face. /p

I mean Hope is graduating in a few weeks, so you need to get a move on if you have any feelings for her. Which you clearly do or did before you died for the 9th time. Another thing is you fought a god for her and won the other day." Josie comments back /p

Another thing I think my humanity coming back on was the biggest sign I could have given to the fact I like her without saying it. Also, there is the issue with the fact that I still have a job to do in repopulating the wolf community. I am a freak because I have male genitalia and for the most part still look female on the outside until you look in my pants. Plus, the fact that Hope's mom inferred that Hope would get back together with the Muppet. In her analogy I was Jackson, the guy who loved a woman he knew didn't love him back. His death is what made Hayley break things off with Elijah fast forward a few years and Hayley is back with Elijah." Lizzie responds /p

I love Hope she is my best friend, but she is stupid oblivious to people actually liking her romantically. I mean Landon had to kiss her to let her know he liked her and Raf confessed to Hope after I helped bring everyone's memories back of Hope. Hope told me she was surprised that Raf liked her like that, and I straight told her half the school is in love with her. She thought I was joking, and I had to point out various times others went out of their way to be nice to her. When it comes to knowing when someone is flirting with her Hope is well hopeless until being clued in or the person straight tells Hope they are flirting with her. You are not a freak plus there are some people who are into what you have to offer. When it comes to repopulating the wolf community do you have to have multiple kids or is there a better way? Because you would have to have sex with a lot of different women in order to make a dent in growing the wolf population to be anywhere close to vampires or witches. When it comes to Hope's mom, I am sure she was not meaning to turn you off from trying to ask Hope out," Josie explains /p

I can turn a regular human into a wolf if I bite them and then kill them. They will wake up a fully activated wolf. If I want to turn a human into a vampire, I do what other vampires do. I feed the human my blood and then kill them. The other issue with having sex is the fact that I still like guys more than I do girls. Plus, a lot of straight guys are not into anal and again I cannot get a guy pregnant like I can any female I come across pregnant. If I had to go in percentages, I like guys 60 percent and girls 40 percent. I think the percentages are changing to be opposite because I now have a dick." Lizzie says trying to clear things up /p

If I get with a guy, I would only be doing anal. I don't mind that but not sure a lot of straight guys like anal. Also, I still have the duty to help populate the wolf community so I couldn't stay with a guy forever. I can't impregnate a guy like I can a female," Lizzie starts ranting /p

But in all seriousness, I am not quite sure I am ready to label myself. I'm just me. I like who I like and for the most part it's been guys, but I have been looking at girls more recently especially since my dick has a mind of its own.

Jen is a great person and maybe later in life we will date or be in a relationship, but right now I need to focus on my new powers. Jen was super chill about everything, even saying the little angry dude would be a fool to not date me or at least hook up with me if given the opportunity. Jen even said if Hope turned me down, she would try to win me over but only after Hope left town. Jen said she isn't scared of Hope, just not interested in physically trading blows with a fully activated Tribrid. Can't say I blame her for not wanting to trade physical blows with Hope. I may technically have the power to put Hope down, but she is a feisty one." Lizzie answers /p

Yeah I practically poured my soul out after finding out the knife didn't have a spell on it and could not be used to break the Merge. Told her all about MG's puppy love for me and how I felt guilty for stringing him along and also for the fact that MG is a great guy and deserves way better than me." Lizzie responds /p

Jo I know the last guy you went out with was Mophead but I am pretty sure you know the word dick or penis. I mean you did before you spent a summer with the Elf on the shelf. Also yes Jen knows I actually brought it up as a reason for turning her down and she didn't think it was a turn off. Said most if not all the gods were bi and she was down for anything so long as it was consensual. Apparently surviving her dad's lighting and being able to shatter swords with my neck are also huge turn ons. The girl has kinks. Now you have anything else you want to ask me. I mostly just came by to pick up some books for my next class." Lizzie responds /p

I liked Aunt Bonnie because have you seen her she is like sex on legs. Doesn't hurt that she is a badass either. I had a fleeting crush on Alyssa because besides her, Satan, your ex Penelope and Hope she provided good verbal spars. I got over my crush on Alyssa when she threw us along with dad into the prison world. Plus she was with Jed and super straight. When it comes to Aunt Bonnie there is the age thing and also the fact she is not around much plus even though we are not blood related she is our Aunt so would not truly entertain it. Other than that no other girl crushes if you want to know the order then Aunt Bonnie was first Alyssa second and then Hope. If you want to add Jen you can but I mostly just feel normal friendship feelings towards her currently. I think if I gave her a shot she would put on the charm and well then I might be a goner. Now I have a few more classes to attend so I will see you later Jo," Lizzie answers before leaving the twin's room /p

Yeah I deserved some of it for poking at you but I figured after the truth came out things would change. I tried to be your friend but then I realized the night you slept in my bed after Miss Mystic Falls I couldn't. Because you were infuriatingly perfect and I knew you liked the Hobbit so I left before you woke up. I also felt that I couldn't get close to you because of what Josie said so I tracked Mophead down and convinced him to give you another shot." Lizzie shouts with a mix of anguish and anger /p

I was a bit rattled in the sense that the only other female around our age that I had a fleeting crush on was Alyssa Chang. So I buried my feelings and tried to focus on breaking the Merge. I knew that Dad left the knife that cut the twin bond in the basement in one of the hidden tunnel rooms. I just happened across the blood fountain when searching for the knife. I turned the fountain off and rushed to find you and my sister because I had a gut feeling something bad would happen if I didn't leave the tunnels," Lizzie explains /p

I didn't know that Penelope was the literal devil. I mean I guessed it when she initially dumped my sister or when she would constantly make bitchy remarks to me but I thought she changed. It was a mistake in not trusting my gut instinct that I paid dearly for. My only comfort throughout the torture that Ryan and Aurora put me through was that my sister was safe and your smile. When I died I would see flashes of you and the two flashes that were on practical repeat were you smiling fondly at my sister and the time I got you to smile during the Miss Mystic Falls pageant dance. I didn't know who you were at the time but something made me believe your name was Hope. I thought it fitting that your name was Hope considering you and my sister gave me hope that one of our friends or even my dad and mom would find me at take me away from the torture," Lizzie confesses /p

I am so sorry you had to go through that. I thought if I jumped into Malivore then you and everyone would be safe and free of the monsters. Once I was in Malivore I felt this unbearable coldness, loneliness even, but the worst feeling was thinking that I made the wrong choice. When I saw you for the first time after I came back from Malivore I was shocked. Your throwaway comment about dying scared the crap out of me because I knew you weren't a vampire. Your declaration of wanting to die cut deep because I remember when the Hollow was in me and all I wanted to do was die. Then you told me about the torture you endured by Aurora and Ryan's hands when we were in the 80s themed labyrinth. I felt even worse for having chosen Landon over you after you told me," Hope says sorrow and guilt in her tone /p

You shouldn't ever have to feel bad for choosing love. I mean I chose to give Sebastian another chance out of love and also hurt. I was hurt because my dad gaslighted me into believing Sebastian left the school. I mean I liked having sex with Sebastian and I thought maybe I could love him since he was kind to me. In the end I realized I was just a replacement to him for his past love. I broke up with him and only found out later that he sacrificed himself for Josie to close the prison world. I saw him one last time during the last few minutes that the prison world was self-imploding through astral projection, and he apologized. I felt guilty for loving Sebastian and even more so when Dark Josie emerged. But I also realized when I was in Malivore that I deserve to love who I wanted. What I am trying to say is that you love Landon Kirby, and you shouldn't have to apologize for that to me or to anyone," Lizzie says trying to relieve Hope's discomfort /p

Another thing is Landon could only die permanently with the golden arrow unlike you at the time were human a witch but still human. Speaking of being human when you got your memories back you said something about suicide what was that about?" Hope comments a little fearful of the answer /p

If you ever shut your humanity off and commit a genocide without just cause and your family can't turn your humanity back on. I will be forced to turn it on or kill you. There are three main ways in which you can die permanently. Your head can be decapitated, your heart being ripped out of your chest, or a red oak stake to your heart. Nature has no way to keep you in check besides me. So, I can't die until you do. Even if I wanted to die there are conditions for me to meet in order for me to stay dead. Part of the condition is that you are dead permanently. I mean gone on to Peace and can never return to this plane of existence dead. So yeah, I was suicidal, and I think I will always be to some degree, but I rarely tried to actually commit suicide while I was still a human witch. There were only two times I knew I might not live if I did something drastic. When I went to face Dark Josie, and then when I went to confront Malivore I knew I could die and I chose to lay my life on the line," Lizzie answers /p

Secondly, what other conditions are there for you to die? Finally, third what makes you from going dark and going on a mass genocide for no reason?" Hope questions and argues /p

I mean I asked you if you wanted to live or die right before giving you, my blood. Also, I know about the first. I grabbed a tree branch from the red oak before your aunt burned the tree. To address the second no blade, chain, rope, or some vampire speed hand or anything else man made or otherwise could decapitate my head. Also, apparently even weapons made by gods can't decapitate me since Ken's sword shattered when it came in contact with my neck. Heart extraction is impossible like I told you guys before getting my humanity back. The red oak stake to the heart will temporarily dedicate me but cannot kill me until all other conditions for my death have been met. The darkest I can get is what you saw with my humanity off and without my memories. Or if I go into executor mode but if I fall into executor mode it means you pissed me off trying to kill me. All my kills are justified in the sense that the witch, vampire, human or wolf that I kill has already committed an act or multiple against Nature. As for the other conditions for my death I must have offspring that are legal age and willing to take up my mantel of peacekeeper and executor," Lizzie addresses with slight annoyance /p

If you can have kids would your kids, be like you?

The kids I would have would be at most hybrids similar to your offspring. I also need to have more than one kid since again they would never be able to do what I am capable of doing if they were alone. Speaking of being alone I have no doubt that you will find either another love in the future or you might end up back with the sentient jar of mayonnaise. I see the way you two still look at each other. If you want my blessing to get back with the garden gnome you have it not that you need it," Lizzie answers irritation in her tone /p

Lizzie ends up moving her hands to rest on Hope's hips while Hope's hands move to hook behind Lizzie's neck. Hope reciprocates the kiss and ends up moaning a little when she feels Lizzie's tongue swipe at her lower lip.

When it comes to Fidem, don't make any rash decisions. Fidem hasn't done anything yet besides flirting and being excessively touchy feely. If she thinks she is being cornered she might do something desperate and desperate people are always dangerous to be around. You don't have to worry about Jen, she is more sup dude you want to be in a relationship yes or no. If not that's all chill if you do even better. Now let's get a move on Mikaelson. My sister is fire happy when provoked and I don't feel like being burned alive for a second time. Once was enough thank you very much," Lizzie says before rushing ahead of Hope by use of vampire speed /p

Elijah being the best boyfriend to Hayley he can by comforting Hayley and offering to talk to Lizzie. When it comes to Elena and Damon they aren't really brought up in the Originals or in Legacies, but they seem dead or at least on the fandom wiki they are dead. I could not find a definitive date or how they died so I made up the plane crash and what year they died. Klaus suggests to Hope to confront Lizzie about her feelings. Josie dishing out some facts on Hope to Lizzie and calls Hope out on being jealous. Landon also told Hope to confront Lizzie but got into hot water for saying he would ask Lizzie out if Hope didn't. Lizzie finally confessed but is still resistant, feeling as though Hope would only want her for a quick hook up. Hope's unsure how to feel about Lizzie but seems to not like the idea of Fidem getting with Lizzie in any capacity more so than with Jen. Jen is still interested in Lizzie even after Lizzie turned her down. Also Hope and Lizzie kissed finally. Weird question: shouldn't Hope have graduated from the Salvator School she is what 19 almost 20 by the end of season 4 according to their messed-up timeline? I mean Season 3 messed up the easy one-year thing that the first 2 seasons had going. Season 1 Josie and Lizzie turn 16, Season 2 they turn 17 so you would think that in season 3 that the twins would turn 18. If you go by that logic, then in season 4 they would be 19 by the end of it. Hope started season 1 at the age of 17 meaning by the end of season 4 she would be 21 if the seasons were logical. Last I checked, in the US most kids graduate High school at around 18 or 19 in age. /p
