' Hey , Steffy . Come ,let's go for a coffee' said Hope.
'Just call me MJ, Mikealson. I hate my name' replied Stefanie frustratingly.
' Okay then I will call you Miranda Jenna as you wish to be called but Stefanie is a great name like Twilight writer's name ' Hope said while they entered the Grill.
They sat down on the nearest table. Stefanie groaned . She didn't like her name at all. Her name was Stefanie Miranda Jenna Salvatore or Stefanie MJ Salvatore that she preferred. She was named after her Martyr uncle who she never knew . She knew she had to respect the person she was named after but as she had read his uncle's diaries and heard his father's loving stories about his brother , she didn't feel great about his uncle. But what she could do now . She couldn't change her name . She sighed and thought if he was alive maybe things would have been different. Aunt Care would have been really happy though she didn't know about Aunt bon bon maybe because of Enzo. Stefan killed Enzo in cold blood when Enzo decided to become human for Aunt Bon Bon. She gave Stefan the cure of vampirism which was meant for Enzo though. When Stefan became human ,he felt a surge of guilt . He sacrificed himself for her mom and dad as if giving them his blessings for which she was quite grateful. So much thay she wished she could change things if she could go back to time when all the problems started because she knew beforehand what was going to happen and prevent some of them from happening. She was lost in thought again when Hope started calling her again .
' Salvatore, back to earth. Jeez I didn't know you would get so tensed about the nickname . What were you thinking,' she said , sipping her coffee.
Stefanie looked at her and said ,' I wish I could change things. I have been to my dad's memories. If you are going to ask how, Josie helped me see them last time when Saltzmans came the other night. Dad will kill me if he got to know about that. There are so many things I have been thinking , the things I wish I could take part in . I could prevent uncle Stefan from dying. I could have saved Enzo .I wish I had a time machine or something like that so I could get to know my "Hero hair' uncle or that Tyler Lockwoof guy.'
She drank her milkshake with a loud slurp. She stopped her train of thoughts and looked at Hope. She looked lost. Great. Stefanie coughed loudly which made Hope stir
'Now when I stop thinking, you head on a train of your own. Now tell me what are you thinking' Stefanie said concerned.
Hope was her best friend besides Josie and Lizzie. She was one of the most powerful witches of this time. She could write her own spells , could perform magic without the help of the dead witches or any other source.She was a tribrid which meant that she could change herself into a werewolf by will. Lyconthropy didn't affect her magic doing abilities.As she was an Original Tribrid , her blood was The Cure to a werewolf bite like her father. Stefanie first met her in Salvatore School for young and gifted. She turned into a vampire last year when she died in an accident. She had vampire blood in her system when she badly injured herself .MG gave it to her after ahe couldn't take any pain. She healed but later while going back home , her car took a turn and she died. She woke up as a vampire in transition. That is when Hope and Mr Saltzman came to help her. He informed her parents and took her to school and helped her complete transition. She thought her parents would hate her but they didn't .They were a little sad about her death but they loved her even though she became a vampire. They were comfortable with it . Damon offered to give her The Cure but she refused. She liked the idea of being a vamp kid .As she had all these powers, she never misused them but sometimes just to sneak out or for some illegal drinks , she happily used compulsion. On that note , Damon also gave her Stefan's daylight ring. Ugh , she thought . Another reminder of her Hero Hair uncle. But she wore it and went to study in Salvatore School for Young and Gifted. She liked Hope as she helped in her craving issues amd helped her out with her abilities. She was a Mikealson but Stefanie didn't give much of a thought .Hope was tough but later on gave her an in when she practically saved her life from a witch hunter .She helped Hope befriend Josie and Lizzie and clear her misunderstanding with both of them . Now they hung out in school. But Hope was close to Stefanie the most. They considered each other as sisters. They shared things, did crazy stuff together which no one expected Hope to do as she seemed more guarded and calm type girl. They were great which each other , respected each other's opinion, shared problems with each other and understood each other very well. Because of their friendship, Mr Saltzman was happy as Hope remained silent and usually talked to no one . Making friends was real distant topic for her . Here she was making friends . That relieved him. On the hand, Damon and Elena were concerned as Hope was Klaus's daughter but they saw that she was nothing like her father and accepted her . She dropped time to time to meet Damon and Elena.
Hope looked at Stefanie . A thin smile formed .' Well I don't know about time machine but I know a spell through which we can go back in time , and we can change some things . You can spend some time with your uncle and I can spend with mine . It has been so long when I saw him. I miss him. We can go and come back. Also we look in future about what would the consequences . What do you think about it?' Hope asked.
Stefanie blinked twice . What!??. She thought. Maybe going back in time can fix things . She felt excited about how dad , mom and others will look like . She can save them .
' Yes!!! Let's do that Hope. We can change things. You are love. Tell me about when can we start?' she said literally jumping.
Hope smiled and said ' We can start one hour later. You can pack some stuff on your own. Maybe get blood bags and the stuff you will need. Okay?'
' I am going to pack fast. I will meet you in your room. Let's go then' she said excited
Finally, she has a chance to change things. She felt happy and excited to meet the person she was named after .
They reached the school and parted their ways to go to their dorm rooms. Stefanie packed pictures , some blood bags , vervain in case they needed it , diaries of her mom and her clothes. She reached Hope's room and saw that Hope was done packing and was preparing for the spell. She looked up as Stefanie entered. She was making a circle from salt. She stood up and started talking.
' I wrote this spell myself long ago so it is safe to use . It stops the present time in which we are, so when we come back from the past , this time will be the same. Just like going through the door and coming back like in Narnia movies. The people we are going to meet will remember us as we go back. This spell figures out where we will be needed and things to make right . We will come back in time when things get right. So this is the thing. Now , ready?' she asked.
' Yeah , Mikelson. Let's get done with it ' said Stefanie as she clapped her hands. They sat down in the circle. She held Hope's hand as she closed her eyes. She closed her eyes as she started with the spell . Candles in the room caught on fire and incense started burning. Salt boundary started to dissolve itself and turned into a light boundary. Hope signalled Stefanie to get up and caught her hand and spelled something and started walking towards the light. Everything became white for a second.
Both of them opened their eyes. It was time around sunrise. It was definitely Mystic Falls. They let go each other's hands confused. They looked around. They were on Wickery bridge on which her maternal grandparents died . The bridge her mother died. They started walking forward and saw someone . They stopped. It was a brunette talking to a raven haired man . She couldn't hear a word . She focused on what they were saying as the sun started rising . She could hear just one word .
'Damon' the girl said as sun rays hit girl's body and it started burning. It was her Dad and Mom!!!! Damon looked at Elena and lunged her and himself in the water. They were finally back in time. They were in year 2012. Time when her parents were vampires. Time when Hope's dad was her parents enemy. Time when Elena was dating Stefan.They were back in time to make things right.
