removal of the mark

~Hope Mikaelson~

'this is for protection, your safety was something I considered Lucious so don't start bitching about the scenery of the house, be lucky I even brought your ungrateful ass here'

I say rolling my eyes. Lucius ended up waking up ten minutes after arriving here at the plantation. And of course he started complaining about being here.

'Lucius dear, we should be thankful she even rescued us'

Narcissa says to him, resting a hand on his shoulder. They were both sitting on the couch in the living room while Draco and I were standing up.

'Are you a pure blood?'

Lucius asks me and I scoff rolling my eyes.

'Seriously father? She just saved your life and you have to ask about her blood status?'

'Well no son of mine should date someone that isn't pure blood'

'Look Lucius, I'm what they call a half blood I guess, I'm not just a witch, I'm part vampire and part werewolf, I'm what we call a tribrid'

'are you friends with any mudbloods?'

'father-'

I cut Draco off.

'I don't give a fuck if you don't that I'm friends with witches or wizards that aren't pure blood, you are really rising my temper and I may lash out on you in a very ugly way-'

I get cut off by someone coming through the front door.

'Hey Hope, some people came to see you'

I turn around facing my aunt Freya when I see Josie and Lizzie come in the house.

We all smile and hug.

'it's been so long'

Josie says and I laugh.

'Come join us im about to do the spell'

I say bringing Josie and Lizzie to the living room.

'Ok everyone if you can roll up your left sleeve for me please'

They all do so of course Lucius hesitated but proceeded.

' ok Josie I'll start with you'

I go over to her and grab her arm and she hands me the knife that has a special carvings on it from an old ancestral bloodline.

'this kind of spell is required with dark magic and it will be painful but after I'll feed you my blood and you will heal quickly'

I grab the knife and start saying the incantations while tracing the knife around the dark mark, slowly repeating my incantations, as I traced the dark mark with knife, slowly cutting Josie with the knife as I continue the incantations. She starts to bleed as the mark has disappeared leaving her skin bare.

I remove the knife and feed her my blood quickly so she can heal. Then I step away from them and go towards Draco.

'are you sure about this?'

'positive'

'this will hurt a lot'

he nods as I grab his left arm and look at the dark mark as I start to grab the knife and slowly trace the mark while saying my incantations. Slowly the knife starts to cut him, making him wince in pain.

Continuing the incantations, I continue to drag the knife on his mark, making it continue to bleed until I open my eyes to look at his now bare left arm. I smile softly, using my thumb to lightly rub where the dark mark used to be and look up at Draco to see him smile lightly as well.

I quickly bite my wrist and bring it up to his mouth allowing him to drink my blood and when he does so, he starts to heal.

I turn around and walk towards his mother.

'are you sure?'

'yes please darling'

she says holding up her left arm and I start doing the spell again, her also wincing in pain and me ending with me feeding her my blood so she heals. I do the same with Draco's father, though he did hesitate at first.

Narcissa and Lucius both thank me, though Lucius just nodded his head at me with no emotion and they both excused themselves and headed back up to their rooms, leaving me and Draco with Lizzie and Josie alone in the living room. I smile at Draco and he does to, me noticing how happy he was to not have that mark on him, the mark that only constantly reminded him of the bad, though at the end he chose the good.

'we are gonna go, bye hope'

The twins say on their way out and I just wave and mutter a small bye in response now leaving me alone with Draco.

He walks up to me and places his hands on my waist, making me wrap my arms around his neck making me look at him.

'I missed you'

'Wish I can say the same'

I smirk as we both laugh at my statement.

'thank you. For removing the mark, I couldn't bare having to live with it'

'the mark was a constant reminder of the fact that you didn't have a choice, but now you do, and I'm glad you choose good'

he smiles and kisses my check lightly.

'so... what are your plans for the future now darling?'

'hm, not sure, not like I can do much anyway but I think I plan on staying here in New Orleans, I've missed my family too much to leave again'

'well.. is there any chance you would let me tag along with you?'

he says saying that last part softly and I smile at him softly.

'you would want to stay with me? what about your parents or London?'

'it's time for a change I think, besides it is my choice after all'

I smile at him as he presses his lips gently onto mine and I kiss him back as equally passionate and soft.

I didn't know what would happen tomorrow but at the moment I just wanted to live in this exact moment with Draco.
